Binary Solution LSAT Prep has 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 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 always 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 binary operators: a small set of words that appears on every LSAT and functions to trigger the issues that ultimately give rise to LSAT questions. By focusing on the binary operators (such as if, but ,or), our students develop a semantic net for catching any language that is relevant to the solution of any LSAT question. Since this semantic approach operates on the level of the word, our students can bypass the need to identify the whole exercise before solving it-- which increases their speed.

"Binary thinking involves exercising the “left brain,” the analytical part of the mind that governs much of legal reasoning... improving left-brain skills and the speed at which they are performed leads to improvements in LSAT scores, as well as improved performance on law school exams and on the bar exam."
~ Former Associate Dean of the CUNY School of Law, Graduate of Harvard Law School
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 120-hour 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 short, we offer a new lens through which the LSAT can be viewed as a Binary, Either/Or system. So 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 any particular 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 offer the most technologically advanced teaching methods. In 2005, we introduced the first tablet lessons 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 online digital LSAT course, and today we have a library of over 400 recorded sessions that include the fastest solutions to the hardest LSAT questions ever written.
