WHY IT WORKS: The Science (and Scientist) Behind Binary Solution
OUR UNIQUE LOGICAL DECONSTRUCTION-- a Tried & True Solution
Binary Solution is the only complete and general solution to the LSAT. Its works by employing only a handful of ideas to solve every past and future LSAT question. This makes the Binary Solution more efficient than competing approaches, which are largely piecemeal (i.e., they use many ideas to solve a single LSAT question and cannot either solve or predict every LSAT question). Piecemeal approaches are confusing-- and many even lower performance by multiplying steps and failing to explain existing LSAT questions within a coherent theoretical framework that candidates can take to future LSATs.
Our course curriculum is the result of more than 30 years of interdisciplinary research and development conducted by our Founder, Eva Lana Silver, J.D., a Harvard-trained Chemist (B.S. '89) and Westinghouse (now Regeneron) Science Talent Search Winner (1984), who made a science of deconstructing the LSAT. Ms. Silver also pioneered the first LSAT tablet course in 2006 and recently defended several landmark appellate cases.
Binary Solution was meticulously developed by counting and classifying every word that has ever contributed to the solution of any LSAT question. Collecting the Constants (TM) in this manner gave rise to a theoretical model of the LSAT with tremendous predictive value. The TextArc below shows a spherical word concordance image of the most common Binary Operators on the Logical Reasoning (aka "Arguments') Section of the LSAT. These words comprise a Semantic Net (TM) that triggers the solution to any LSAT question. The Binary Operators are also the basis of legal reasoning: indeed, every American statute is structured as an If-then statement that culminates in may (can) or shall (must).

OUR LSAT TRAINING FORMS A FOUNDATION FOR LAW SCHOOL
“Although there are many other commercial LSAT Preparation courses, [Binary Solution] is the only course that was designed to use the LSAT preparation process as a foundation for legal reasoning and analysis skills"
- Former Dean of CUNY Law School
The Binary Solution works because it is based on semantically-driven Issue-Spotting, rather than rote memorization. This allows test-takers to solve an infinite number of LSAT questions by relying on a handful of concepts, known as Issues. In law, an Issue is defined as that which gives rise to a question; and Issues are considered the quanta of legal reasoning. For example, rather than enumerate every type of civil claim, the law employs four issues -- duty, breach, causation, harm-- in order to unite the entire field of torts (a tort is a common law claim that does not arise under statute or contract).
Since Issue-Spotting is the foundation of legal reasoning-- it is the single skill the LSAT seeks to measure.
As a result of our unique approach, Binary Solution provides both a complete solution to the LSAT and a valuable introduction to legal reasoning. As a result of this unique approach, our students can improve their LSAT scores while also preparing for law school.
