LSAT Coaching
helps students achieve their best possible LSAT score.
What we do is coaching not tutoring. Most commercial prep
courses and tutors focus on developing test-taking skills and
strategies. However, because the LSAT is a skilled based test, the
impact of this kind of intervention is limited; 3 - 7 points
improvement at best.
For students who have skill deficit more
intense coaching is needed. Coaching is focused
on helping students to develop students develop reading, logical
reasoning and analytical reasoning skills needed to improve their LSAT score. Coaching provides the participant with direction,
feedback, insight and guidance on achieving their LSAT goals. The
coaching depends on:
1.
An
initial diagnostic test
2.
Reading speed and
comprehension test
3.
Assistance in
developing a study schedule and study technique
4.
Monthly telephone
contacts
5.
Weekly monitoring of
study
6.
Monthly assessment
of skill development; and,
7.
Assistance in revising study approach as necessary
The
participant is expected to implement the plan in a timely and
consistent manner.
We work with them one-on-one via telephone and
online: we review their materials, provide feedback, and help them
to modify their study plan as needed.
On average, 1-2 hours of
telephone contact per month in addition to regular email and online
contact as needed.
Generally speaking, if a
participant's practice LSAT is within 3-7 points of the median LSAT
score for the schools they would like to be admitted to, only
maintenance coaching will be needed (1 to 2 months prior to
taking the LSAT).
If a participant's practice
LSAT is no more than 10 points below the median of their target
schools moderate coaching will be needed. (3 to 4
months)
If a participant's practice
LSAT score is more than 14 points below the median of their
target schools, extensive coaching may be needed.
()
If your LSAT score is below
140, extensive coaching will be needed.
Whether a student is interested
in maintenance, moderate, or extensive coaching, we recommend that
you plan on studying 8 to 10 hours per week of study. Of course the time will be
significantly more or less based on the participant’s time
commitment and progress.
The cost of the program is $
350 for the initial evaluation and first month, and $150 per month
thereafter.
Participants are responsible for purchasing all books,
materials and supplies.
