LSAT Defenders

The LSAT tests two things: can you understand something, and can you answer a question about it? A deficiency in either one is holding you back whether you're at 130 or 170. We go over questions live and collaboratively — I ask each student their thinking, gives real feedback in the moment, and you hear how other students approach the same problem. That's not something a pre-recorded course or even a solo tutor session can replicate. Students at every scoring range have said the Saturday sessions are where their biggest breakthroughs happen.

It depends on the gap, the timeline, and most importantly whether you change your approach — not just your hours. I went from a 162 to a 174 in under one month. Not because I studied more. Because I stopped treating wrong answers as failures and started treating them as diagnostic data. That shift is teachable. Whether you're trying to go from 145 to 160 or 160 to 170, the path is the same: better approach, better review, more consistent execution.

Most tutors explain questions. I walk you through them so you can solve similar ones on your own. There's a difference between understanding why an answer was right after someone walks you through it, and being able to identify it yourself under timed conditions. You're not just getting explanations. You're building a repeatable process.

Yes — the Vanguard curriculum includes 99 LR lessons covering every question type and 22 RC lessons, plus the complete Vanguard Fundamentals guide series and hundreds of hours of recorded sessions. You can absolutely use your own materials alongside it. The curriculum is a framework, not a cage. Most students use it as their primary structure and pull in official LSAC practice tests for timed work.

It varies — there's no honest answer that fits every student. What we can tell you is that students who show up consistently, apply the review framework, and engage in sessions rather than just watching them see real movement. Christina came in at 137 and left at 173. Abraham jumped from 150 to 161 in a single month. Becca went from 160 to 178. Riley went 150 to 165. These aren't outliers — they're what happens when approach replaces volume as the primary strategy. Score improvement is guaranteed for your first month: attend 75% of sessions, take a practice test before and after, and if your score doesn't improve by at least 2 points, you get a full refund.
