The Law School Admission Test, or LSAT, is the most commonly taken law school admissions exam. The test was designed to assess how prepared a student is to tackle law school curriculum that can be rigorous. To that end, the exam has three main sections that cover the topics of Reading Comprehension, Analytical Reasoning, and Logical Reasoning. Performing well on the LSAT could have a massive influence on your law school applications. A high score could get you into higher-ranked law schools and may also earn you additional scholarship offers. That's why a strong test preparation process is vital as you prepare to take this test. Varsity Tutors can help you do that with an LSAT prep class or LSAT tutoring.

I tutor the LSAT because I know it's a hard test and I know what it's like to struggle with it. However I also understand the process necessary to produce better scores, and nothing is more satisfying to me than helping someone achieve what seemed impossible a few months ago.... Your score is a product of so many factors--your understanding of the material, your speed, even how accurately you bubble answers--but in the end it all comes down to whether you studied the test from every angle and put in the time necessary to get the results you want.
