The LSAT today

Know exactly what you are preparing for.

The LSAT is a test of reading and reasoning, not of legal knowledge. Since August 2024 the test has had no Logic Games section, so success now depends almost entirely on argument analysis and dense reading.

Most JD programmes, including every law school in New York City, give the LSAT significant weight in admissions and scholarship decisions. A few points can change which schools are realistic for you and how much merit aid you are offered, which is why targeted one-to-one preparation pays for itself.

What we cover

Every part of the LSAT, taught one to one.

Scored

Logical Reasoning

Two of the three scored sections. We teach you to find the conclusion, spot the gap in the reasoning and match it to the question type, from flaw and assumption questions to parallel reasoning and principle questions.

Scored

Reading Comprehension

Dense passages on law, science and the humanities. We build an active reading method that tracks the author's purpose, viewpoints and structure, including the comparative passage set.

Required

LSAT Argumentative Writing

A clear, persuasive structure for the writing task, with timed practice and written feedback, so the sample admissions officers read reflects you at your best.

Strategy

Timing and test-day strategy

Section pacing, when to skip and return, managing the unscored section and preparing for a test centre or a remote administration.

Planning

Diagnostics and score targets

Timed practice tests analysed question by question, with a target range set against the median LSAT scores of the schools on your list.

Retakes

Retake and score-raising plans

For students who have plateaued: a fresh look at where points are lost, a new approach to the weak question types, and a retake date that fits LSAC's rules.

How it works

A clear path from diagnostic to test day.

01

Diagnostic

A timed practice LSAT and a conversation about your target schools, timeline and weekly availability.

02

Written plan

A study calendar with weekly targets, homework sets and the practice tests you will take, worked back from your test date.

03

Drill and review

Sessions focus on your weakest question types. We review every missed question together until the pattern behind it is clear.

04

Full simulations

Timed, full-length practice tests in the final weeks, with section-by-section review and a test-day routine.

Who it suits

LSAT students across New York.

New York is one of the most competitive places in the country to apply to law school from. Our LSAT students include:

I

College students

Juniors and seniors at Columbia, NYU, Fordham, CUNY, the SUNY campuses and colleges across the Northeast who want to apply straight from college.

II

Working professionals

Analysts, consultants, paralegals and teachers fitting LSAT prep around demanding Manhattan jobs, usually with evening and weekend sessions.

III

Career changers

Applicants returning to study after years in another career who need to rebuild timed test-taking skills.

IV

International applicants

Students from outside the US applying to JD programmes, for whom the LSAT's reading load and American idiom are an extra challenge.

Beyond the LSAT

Turn your score into the right offers.

Your LSAT score opens doors, and your application decides which ones. When you are ready, we can help you choose schools, time your application in a rolling admissions cycle and write a personal statement that sounds like you.

Questions

LSAT prep: frequently asked questions.

Does the LSAT still include Logic Games?

No. LSAC removed the Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games) section from tests starting in August 2024. The scored test now consists of two Logical Reasoning sections and one Reading Comprehension section, plus one unscored variable section that can be of either type. We teach to the current format only.

How long should I spend preparing for the LSAT?

Most of our students prepare over three to six months, studying around ten to fifteen hours a week. The right length depends on your diagnostic score, your target and how much time your job or classes leave you. Your tutor will set a realistic timeline after your first session.

What is LSAT Argumentative Writing and does it matter?

LSAT Argumentative Writing is a separate, unscored writing task that you complete online. You need a writing sample on file before LSAC will release your score, and law schools receive it with your application, so admissions officers can read it. We teach a clear, efficient structure and give written feedback on practice responses.

Can I take LSAT lessons online?

Yes. Many of our students work full time in Manhattan or study outside the city, so we teach live online as well as in person. Online sessions use a shared screen and the same official practice material we use in person.

Do you help with law school applications as well?

Yes. Once your score is where you want it, we can help you build a school list, plan your application timing and draft your personal statement, diversity statement and any addenda. See our law school admissions and tutoring page for more.

I have already taken the LSAT. Can you help me retake it?

Yes. Retakers make up a large share of our LSAT students. We review your previous score report and practice history, find where points are being lost, and rebuild your approach to those question types rather than repeating what you have already done.

Tell us your diagnostic score, your target and your test date, and we will match you with an LSAT tutor.
