BIFURCATED APPROACH: Application Follows Theory

• THEORY MODULE:  This first phase of the course provides specific techniques for the solution of every type of LSAT question.   LSAT questions are organized on the frame level according the 2 sections of the LSAT, which are Logical Reasoning (ARGUMENTS) and Reading Comprehension (READING).  During Theory, the goal is to build an understanding of the LSAT that evolves from the particular to the general. Specific LSAT questions are categorized within a single Casebook entitled The Deconstruction.  The Casebook includes: (i) minimalist techniques for spotting and solving every category of LSAT question, followed by (ii) typical as well as boundary cases for each category of question.  The theoretical chapters in the Casebook are underpinned by a detailed system of maps that facilitate the abstract thinking that is required to spot the relevant issues in any LSAT question. Approximately 2000 LSAT questions are studied during Theory, and they are organized along the lines of our unique and intuitive classification system.

•  APPLICATION MODULE: The second phase of the course provides immersive practice through timed test-taking.  Each practice LSAT is  followed by an Analysis which requires test-takers to repeat the questions they got wrong without consulting the answer key.  This is known as a Second Pass  and it is a process that is applied by most "natural" high scorers (i.e., people who achieve high marks readily and tend to self-study).   The Second Pass helps test-takers improve quickly by focusing on their errors.  Students are encouraged to perform an Analysis on at least 15- 35 actual LSATs, which can be obtained in the authentic test format on the Official LSAT database known as the LawHub.  This official database has over 90 actual LSATs, and has been recently modified to reflect the NEW LSAT (which was first administered in August 2024)​
