LSAT
A Word from Jay Lipman, Founder of Test Your Best:
I truly enjoy working with students preparing for the LSAT. I have helped hundreds of students hit - or exceed!- their target scores and get into top-tier schools. Since 1999, I have helped college students, recent college grads, and not-so-recent college grads prepare for the LSAT and Learn to Succeed!™
About LSAT Tutoring
As of August 2026 LSAC has introduced three changes. (1) The look and feel has been modernized, although in some ways the made the navigation worse! (2) They made changes to the way you select your test date: registering earlier means you get to schedule earlier. (3) Remote testing has all but been eliminated unless. The vast majority of test talkers will have to go to a test center.
Going back a couple more years, as of August 2024 two-thirds of your LSAT score is based on Logical Reasoning with the remainder based on Reading Comp. Because law schools don’t know/care how you do on each section, we’ll focus on earning as many points as possible as quickly as possible, regardless of question type. Increasing your LSAT score isn’t as difficult as you think.
Hopefully they don’t get on a cycle of making changes every two years!
I used to write LSAT curriculum and train LSAT tutors and teachers for one of the nation’s largest test prep companies. When I formed TYB in 2003 I developed more effective methods and a more efficient prep approach. I’ll help you understand nuances of the test that are mysteries to less experienced tutors and that you won’t learn about through the many self-guided online prep products that have popped up in recent years. I’ll also explain why LSAT students usually practice inefficiently – which is further exacerbated by the schedules most online prep courses recommend – and I’ll help you prepare for the test without wasting time.
What did the LSAT change and why?
The August 2026 changes don’t impact only change the registration and test-taking experience, not the content or scoring of the test.
The August 2024 LSAT brought no new question types and no format or timing changes. They just swapped the logic games section for an additional Logical Reasoning section. (The LSAT Writing task has changed, but that really isn’t a big deal.)
The move to drop logic games in 2024 came out of this law suit:
You can improve your LSAT score without knowing the details of the lawsuit or the settlement agreement, but future lawyers might want to read the complaint anyway. If you want to go deeper, take a look at the logic games in Exhibit A and try to work through that section without diagramming!
