Draft, sample content

Logic is a skill.
The 170s are a technique.

The LSAT rewards the same handful of argument structures every administration. Students who learn them as a system see the answer before they finish the stimulus. The program teaches the system, one-on-one, until it's automatic.

$500 an hour, one-on-one. Full 16-week program $12,800. Starts with a diagnostic.

Taught by Rick, founder, 99th percentile. One tutor in every session.

Still life for the LSAT program.

What the LSAT rewards.

To recordRick reads a logical reasoning stimulus aloud, stops before the answer choices, says what the right answer must do, then finds it. 60 to 90 seconds. This is the whole method in one question.

Arguments are a closed set

Flaw, assumption, strengthen, weaken, inference, parallel. About a dozen structures cover nearly every logical reasoning question. Learn them cold and the question tells you the answer.

Two LR sections, two-thirds of the score

With Logic Games gone, two of the three scored sections are logical reasoning. Every LR habit you fix pays twice. That's where the plan lives.

Reading comp is structure

Top scorers don't understand the passage better. They map it: main point, author's attitude, where each viewpoint sits. The questions ask about the map, not the content.

Where LSAT points go.

Your diagnostic shows which of these are yours. Usually two.

  1. 1

    Learning by volume

    Students drill 3,000 questions hoping to absorb logic by exposure. The structures are teachable in weeks, then the drilling makes them automatic. In that order.

  2. 2

    No prephrase

    Reading five answer choices without predicting the answer first is how the LSAT's wrong answers do their work. Top scorers know what they're looking for before they look.

  3. 3

    Reading comp as comprehension

    The questions ask about structure, attitude and function. Students who try to understand the content run out of time and still miss the inference questions.

  4. 4

    Plateau at 160 to 163

    This is where self-study stops working, because the remaining misses are the subtle ones: necessary vs. sufficient, scope shifts, conditional logic. They need to be taught, not drilled.

What a LSAT program looks like.

Week 0 to 1

Diagnostic and debrief

Full-length proctored LSAT, or your most recent official score or PrepTest. Every LR miss classified by structure. RC misses classified by question type and timing.

Weeks 2 to 7

The system

Argument structures taught as a closed set, with conditional logic and prephrasing. RC structure-mapping method built passage by passage.

Weeks 8 to 13

Speed and the subtle misses

Weekly proctored tests. Blind review of every miss. The 160s-plateau errors (scope, necessary vs. sufficient) taught directly.

Weeks 14 to 16

Rehearsal

Two dress rehearsals, section-order strategy, the unscored-section mindset, test-week protocol.

Who teaches it.

Rick [Last name], founder. I scored in the 99th percentile on the tests I teach, and I am the person in every session. There is no roster and no "whoever is free." The tutor who reads your diagnostic is the tutor at the whiteboard in week fourteen.

Rachel, LSAT

The pattern. Two prep courses, stuck at 161. Missed the same flaw and necessary-assumption questions every test.

The fix. Argument structures taught as a closed system of about a dozen patterns, drilled until recognized before the stimulus ended. Reading comp rebuilt around structure-mapping.

“Logic is a skill. Nobody had taught me it as one.”

LSAT students, in their words.Sample quotes

Two courses and I was stuck at 161. He taught the argument structures as a system and it finally clicked.

Naomi F.Law applicant, UT senior

Flaw and necessary-assumption questions were killing me. We drilled the structures until I saw them before finishing the stimulus.

LSAT questions.

How long does LSAT prep take?

Twelve to sixteen weeks for most students starting in the high 150s and aiming for 170+. It is a longer program than other tests because the skill is deeper, and because the payoff, in law school scholarship money, is larger.

I've plateaued at 161. Can this still help?

That plateau is the most common reason students come to us. The remaining misses at that level are subtle and need to be taught, not drilled.

Do you use real LSATs?

Yes. Official LSAC PrepTests under proctored conditions, on the current no-Logic-Games format.

How much is a few LSAT points worth?

At most law schools, the difference between the 25th and 75th percentile LSAT is a handful of points and tens of thousands of dollars in merit aid.

Can I do fewer hours and self-study the rest?

Yes. Single sessions are $500. Many students do ten sessions ($4,500) on logical reasoning structures and run the practice tests themselves.
