Knowledge is Power
The Binary Solution is a unique system for solving the LSAT that is simple enough to be mastered by anyone and powerful enough to raise LSAT scores by an average of 12 points-- the highest increase in the field.
The Binary method is based on a logical deconstruction of the LSAT-- a process that reduces the exam to its smallest quanta of information. Our deconstruction has revealed that the quantum of intellectual currency on the LSAT is the issue, because issues--both on the LSAT and in legal practice-- give rise to questions. Our unique theoretical lens treats every LSAT question as a weighted sum of issues, and since this approach is granular, students are prepared for any juxtaposition of issues that may appear on the LSAT. To facilitate issue-spotting, we have isolated the exam's critical semantic binary operators: i.e., words that appear in every LSAT question and that function to trigger the issue that answers any particular question. By focusing on the binary operators (such as if, but , and, or), our students develop a semantic net for spotting any language that is relevant to the solution of an LSAT question. Since this semantic approach operates on the level of the word, our students do not need to classify the entire exercise before solving it-- they begin to solve from the moment they start reading the question. Naturally, this economic approach reduces solution time.

Longitudinal studies conducted by Law School faculty have confirmed that our program increases LSAT scores. Due to its rigorous content, several law schools even recommend Binary Solution as a primer for entering law students. Our intensive program is designed to produce scores in the 160 to 180 range. Consequently, our students typically get admitted to top-tier law schools. Our phenomenal improvements have also helped generate over 28 million dollars in merit-based scholarships for our alumni in every tier of law school.
In sum, we offer a new lens through which the LSAT can be viewed as a Binary, Either/Or system. At any given moment, a test-taker is only deciding between two things, and is thereby able to find the single bright line that decides the answer for each LSAT question. The ability to think in such a binary, black-and-white way is essential to success on the LSAT as well as in law school. Binary thinking is simply the foundation of the ability to build a career in law.
In addition to record-breaking score increases, we introduced the first tablet lessons in 2005 at NYU. Tablet lessons enable our students to watch a problem being solved directly on the pages of the LSAT. The recordings of these live classes generated the first digital LSAT course. In 2019, the LSAT moved in the same direction-- by offering the exam exclusively on tablets.
