Real students. Real jumps.

Some of what students send when the score comes back.

Individual results vary. These are real students who did the work, not typical or guaranteed outcomes.

Watch the jumps happen

3 students on where they started and where they landed.

See it work

An actual coaching session where a student’s score moves in real time. The free lesson works the same way.

The method

2 frameworks. Every point earned.

Everything we teach runs on the 2 frameworks Steve built going from 152 to 175. We teach both.

The study system

The LASER Approach

Learning, Accuracy, Sections, Exams and endurance, Review. The full arc of how you prep, in order, so nothing important gets skipped on the way to test day.

The review engine

The Socratic Review Method

You review by answering the right question about every miss, until you can spot the trap before it’s set. Rereading explanations never gets you there. This is where the score actually moves.

Reading firstLogical Reasoning alone is 2 of your 3 scored sections, 2/3 of your score, and all of it is arguments read on a clock.
Review over volumeThe score lives in how you review. If 20 practice tests haven’t moved you, test 21 won’t either.
Honest fitCoaching isn’t the right buy for everyone. If a self-study course is the right move for where you are, your free lesson ends with us telling you exactly that.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Is coaching worth what it costs? Expand

Because the score sets the price of law school, not the other way around. A 5-point jump in the 160s usually moves you into a different scholarship bracket, often worth tens of thousands of dollars over 3 years. Every coach on our team scored 170+, so you’re paying to work with someone who’s already solved the problem you’re stuck on. Staying stuck costs more than coaching does.

What if it doesn’t work? Expand

If your numbers stall after a few weeks of real work, we’ll say so and change the approach. Pretending it’s working when it isn’t is the worst thing a coach can do.

Is the free lesson actually free? Expand

Yes. We’ll work through an LSAT question with you and tell you what’s capping your score, whether or not you ever pay us.

How fast can I improve? Expand

It depends where you’re starting and what’s broken. Some students jump in weeks once the review process is fixed. Others need months of steady work. We’ll give you an honest read in the free lesson.

Can’t I just study on my own? Expand

Plenty of people should, and we’ll tell you if that’s you. If you’re under 160 and still improving on your own, a self-study course is enough and coaching isn’t the right buy yet. Coaching makes sense once you’re stuck and can’t see why. The free lesson tells you honestly which one you are.

I’m already using another prep course. Do I need this too? Expand

A course teaches everyone the same videos. It can’t watch how you specifically work or catch the one habit that’s stopping your progress. Keep the course if it’s working. If your score’s stuck despite it, that’s exactly what the free lesson is for.

I’m not ready to book a lesson yet. Expand

That’s what the cheat sheet above is for. If you want a real read on where you stand first, the free lesson works too. We’ll tell you honestly whether now’s the time or whether you should keep studying on your own a while longer. Neither path is wasted.

I had a tutor before and my score didn’t move. Expand

That’s usually what happens when nobody’s watching how you actually work, just correcting answers after the fact. Robyn told us big-brand courses made her feel invisible. Personal feedback here got her 18 points and multiple scholarships, because a coach watching you work catches the habit a stack of corrected answers never will.

Whatever got you here, take the next step.

I’ve been coaching the LSAT since 2005, and I started at 152 myself, so I know what a plateau feels like from the inside. Not everyone reading this is at that point yet, and that’s fine.

One thing before you pick a path. I built the method, but I don’t coach every student personally. You’ll work with a coach I trained, and every coach on the team scored 170+. If the cheat sheet fits where you are right now, take it. If you’re ready for more, book the lesson.
