Improve 10 Points or Score in the 99th Percentile on the LSAT, Guaranteed!

Here’s what we think makes our course better than anyone else’s:

1. Dave Hall wrote it, based on his own experience earning perfect scores (three times! See for yourself HERE). So you can be absolutely, completely certain that it worked for at least one person 😀. (Okay, more than one person -- check out some of our other success stories.)

2. Our course gives you a replicable, actionable set of steps for dealing with every kind of question the test writers ask. You will learn a complete methodology that you can take with you into test day and use to dominate the LSAT.

3. You get to prepare on your own time, at your own pace, with a Pause and Rewind button. We can’t imagine a better way to learn anything.

4. You get to ask questions when you’re stuck. There's a Comments/Questions area under every video lesson in the course. You won’t be stuck very often (the videos are really comprehensive!), but if you do feel like you’re spinning your wheels, you can just ask for help, and Dave will write you an answer, or record a new video response for you, or maybe make you a drawing (he's been known to do interpretive dance, too).

6. You don’t have to take our word for it. You can get a sense of things for free. This first free lesson will equip you for success on a large number of LSAT reasoning questions. As a BONUS, we also provide you with video solutions for five Official LSAT PrepTests. While Dave's free video explanations are not a stand-in for our full course—in the free videos, we do not provide the methodology and the depth that we offer in our paid course—you can still get a good sense of whether Dave is someone you can learn from, and whether he's someone you’d enjoy learning from (and if you're going to spend 200-or-however-many hours with him, the answer to both questions had better be “yes” or you’ll just hate yourself by test day).

7. We’re easily the most bang for your buck! Thousands of videos, over a hundred hours of prep, and yet we're also enrolling students for less money than the other guys? KA-CHING.

Well, that depends an awful lot on you. I mean, if you start at a 172 I can guarantee you won’t improve by 10 points. But you might improve by 8! If you start at 165, you certainly won’t see 20 points of improvement, but if you start at 155 you might!

With the online model, there’s no way for me to know exactly how much my students are improving—I can’t make anyone take timed practice tests, and I can’t make anyone use our test grader, so I cannot know exactly what’s happening with everyone’s scores. 

When I used to teach live in-person courses, I had more control over practice tests, and I did a summer-long study of all my students. During that term, my students (about 200 people) improved by an average of just under 12 points. That average includes those who improved by 26 points and those who improved by 3, so it’s not perfectly useful as a barometer for your expectations.

Still, for most people, 10-12 points of improvement is a reasonable, achievable goal. Remember that, just like going to the gym, your results will vary with your input—including your aptitude, wherewithal, flexibility, focus and work habits.

You can think of it like this: If you go to a gym and do the hard work well under the instruction of a knowledgeable coach, you can expect big gains. If you don’t do the work yourself, though?

Well, you’ll never get any stronger by watching your coach lift weights.

No!

While our videos play on every web browser in common use (we're talking about you, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera, and even you, dreaded Internet Explorer), they will also play on your iPhone, Android phone, iPod, Galaxy Note -- really, any smartphone or tablet you may own!

The member portal is mobile-responsive and super user-friendly, but you can also download our app for an even more positive user experience.

We want to give you plenty of practice explanations, and we want to prepare you for the test as it is today, and we don't think it makes much sense for you to pay for a bunch of old tests that (A) you may not need, and (B) may not accurately reflect the LSAT as it's administered now.

How did we decide specifically to use tests only from this millennium? Mostly based on the Games sections, really.

Our earliest test explanation is for PrepTest 29—the October 1999 test. In the tests in all the years since then, only very few games have not been readily susceptible to one of the five major templates that Dave outlines in our course. However, if you go back even a couple of tests earlier, you begin seeing more and more "weird" games. Go back past PrepTest 20, and you start to see lots of whole sections popluated by games that are very different from those on recent tests.

This phenomenon -- the evolving test -- isn't limited to the Games section.

We think you'll find that in the Logical Reasoning sections of the test, the older material contains a higher percentage of "weird" questions: questions that don't conform -- either in their apparent demands or in their accepted answers -- to the expectations set by today's tests. If you take these tests alongside some newer tests, we think you may find these older LR sections -- like their older Games cousins -- more difficult than current tests (largely because of the decreasing conformity to patterns that are strongly held on today's tests).

Finally, the Reading Comprehension sections of older tests often seem easier, on the whole, than do today's sections. On old tests, the RC answer choices seem more distinct from each other, and the wrong answers are wrong for what seem to be more obvious reasons.

Now, we don't mean to imply by any of this that all material older than PrepTest 29 is crap. We don't think you can draw a bright line like that. However, we do feel that basically all material since 2000 is very indicative of the test as it appears on modern administrations, and that material older than that often differs - sometimes significantly.

So, while a person can make good use of older material (just please keep in mind the potential for difference, as outlined above), we don't think it usually makes good sense—or smart prep—to spend time and/or cash on material that may not be the best possible use.

It saves you money.

Two related thoughts that guided us here:

1. We used to offer two versions of our course packages: one with and one without PrepTests. In the former, we were acting as an intermediary shipper, which meant that students paid more for the same books than they would have if they'd bought them directly from a bookseller. A few of our students chose that option, but it always seemed inefficient to us when they did.

2. Only a few students chose for us to ship them books. The great majority bought them on their own, which told us how the market was moving. So, taking those students' lead, we decided to move everyone onto the less-expensive, more-efficient model of purchasing their books directly.

Totally. We got into this so that the best prep in the universe wasn't going to be available only to the rich (We can remember being poor college students, too).
