Score improvement depends on your starting point and study effort, but students typically see gains of 5-15 points with focused preparation over 10 weeks. The LSAT is scored on a 120-180 scale, and consistent practice with targeted feedback on weak areas drives meaningful progress. Your instructor will help you identify which sections offer the biggest opportunity for improvement and create a personalized study plan to maximize your score.

Logic Games require a different skill set than other standardized tests—they demand pattern recognition, spatial reasoning, and the ability to work through complex rule systems quickly. Many students struggle initially because the format is unfamiliar, but with systematic instruction and repeated practice, most students see significant improvement. A 10-week prep class breaks down game types, teaches diagramming strategies, and provides ample practice to build both speed and accuracy.

Most comprehensive 10-week courses include 8-12 full-length practice tests spaced throughout the program, with the frequency increasing as test day approaches. Early tests help identify baseline strengths and weaknesses, while later tests simulate actual test conditions and build endurance. Between timed practice tests, you'll work through individual sections and question types to target specific skills before attempting full exams again.

Timing strategy varies by section: for Reading Comprehension, most students benefit from reading the passage carefully first, then tackling questions efficiently; for Logical Reasoning, reading the question stem before the stimulus helps you focus on relevant information; for Logic Games, spending time upfront to diagram rules correctly saves time on individual questions. Your instructor will teach you these strategies and help you practice them until they become automatic, so you're not rushing or second-guessing on test day.

A 10-week prep class uses diagnostic tests and section-by-section analysis to pinpoint exactly where you're losing points—whether it's specific game types, reading passages, or question formats. Once weak areas are identified, your instructor designs targeted drills and homework to address those gaps with focused practice. Regular check-ins and progress tracking ensure you're making measurable improvement in problem areas before the actual exam.

Test anxiety decreases significantly when you've practiced extensively under timed, test-like conditions—familiarity breeds confidence. A 10-week prep course includes multiple full-length practice tests that simulate the actual testing environment, helping you build stamina and reduce anxiety through repetition. Your instructor also teaches stress-management techniques and helps you develop a pre-test routine, so you approach the exam feeling prepared and in control.
