The LSAT, along with GPA, are the two most heavily weighted numbers in most law school applications, and the LSAT is the one part of your application you can still change in a few months. A higher score improves both your chances of admission and the scholarship money schools offer you.

he LSAT has four 35-minute multiple-choice sections: two Logical Reasoning and one Reading Comprehension, which are scored, plus one unscored section that can be either type. There is a 10-minute break after the second section, and scores range from 120 to 180. Since August 2026 almost everyone takes the test in person at a test center, and a separate, unscored Argumentative Writing sample is completed online.

"Good" is different for every person depending on their complete application and where they're hoping for admission. But, in general, a good score is one at or above the median of the schools you are aiming for, so look up the medians of your target schools and set your goal from there.

More people are applying, and more of them have high scores, while class sizes have stayed about the same. Between the fall 2024 and fall 2025 entering classes, the average school's LSAT median rose by almost two points and only three schools saw a decrease. With more applicants and similar class sizes, schools are bound to admit candidates with slightly higher scores; but, the medians don't reflect the entirety of the range.

A group course is the better fit if you want a structured plan, a full tour of every question type and a lower cost. One-on-one tutoring makes sense if you have specific weak spots, an unusual schedule or a score that has stopped moving. Many students do both: the course for the foundation, then a few tutoring sessions aimed at what is still costing them points. Group can be good as an introduction to the LSAT and specific question types and 1:1 is better for the bespoke training customized to you, the student.

It depends on your starting score, how many weeks you have and how consistently you practice, so we don't promise a number. Students starting further from their goal usually have more room to gain, and the last few points near the top take the most work. Generally speaking, from an initial blind diagnostic, students can expect a 10+ point increase with increases above 15 points requiring a larger effort.

The Live Course runs for eight Sunday evenings (November 1 to December 20, 7:00–8:30) and teaches the test from the ground up: four Logical Reasoning sessions, four Reading Comprehension sessions, a study schedule, and weekly assignments with feedback. The Bootcamp is six one-hour sessions in the two weeks before the January LSAT, focused on timing and accuracy for students who already know the material. They are designed to work together, but each can be taken alone.

Applications open in early September, and most schools review them on a rolling basis, so earlier is better; aim for mid-November if you can. Final deadlines mostly fall between late January and early April. If you are taking the January LSAT, most schools will still accept it, so have everything else ready and submit as soon as your score arrives.
