Why I built this

As a professional tutor I do many intro sessions where I ask students about their prep journey so far. I constantly meet students who are struggling because they've either focused too much on content without practicing questions, or they've just been "banging their head against the wall" doing practice test after practice test without strategy or review.

The first type of student has been reading books, working through long curriculum modules, and taking notes. But they haven't been consistently drilling practice questions. The LSAT is a skills test, you can't just memorize your way to a high score. Think about a basketball player. Someone has to teach them proper shooting form, sure, but then they go and shoot literally thousands of 3-point shots until they become extremely fast, accurate, and can do it without thinking. That type of practice is analogous to drilling LR questions with proper approach.

The second type of student has done hundreds of practice questions and often does at least one full practice test per week. But when I ask why they chose a particular answer, they say "it just seemed right." No matter how many questions you do, if you haven't refined your approach, it will be difficult to improve and you won't see much movement in your practice test scores.

The path to improving your LSAT score is a balance between the two strategies. A simple approach for each question type, repeatedly applied over a large amount of practice questions until it becomes habit. The goal is to be so familiar with the patterns of the test that you start thinking like a test writer, not just a test taker. That's what high scoring students are able to do.

I built this website because I found myself teaching the same frameworks over and over to different students and I figured I could make the lessons more accessible by putting them all in one place. Every lesson here is a distillation of real tutoring sessions, paired with real questions so you can immediately apply what you've learned.
