Strategy LSAT Prep - Washington, District of Columbia

Strategy Prep was a great class--the 40 hour class was the right balance for me, Ben was a patient and helpful teacher for everyone in the class and all levels of understanding. The videos and homework materials were manageable and helpful, much easier than a huge textbook to wade through. Having a test every Saturday was really helpful to get in the routine for test day, and it paid off. I was very pleased with my score, and I felt like another month of Strategy Prep classes would've helped me score even higher. I definitely recommend the class to anyone looking for some structure for LSAT study and is also working full time or more.

I can't speak highly enough of Ben and his course. I started with a 152 diagnostic and ended up with a 170 on the June test. Ben provided me with every resource I needed to be successful and was always willing to go the extra mile in answering questions and making sure I understood the material. Also, plainly put, his class is fun and I looked forward to it each week. If you're serious about improving your LSAT score but need some extra structure and support, Strategy Prep is an easy choice.

I had an excellent experience at strategy prep. I attended the 100-hour class and drastically increased my baseline score from the first test to end up scoring in the 99th percentile. Ben is a great teacher, has a very strong grasp on the fundamentals of LSAT strategy, and makes a huge effort to ensure everyone in the class understands the material. Ben is also a very funny and caring person, which makes the class substantially more enjoyable than it otherwise would be with a teacher not as committed to making LSAT studying less stressful and even occasionally enjoyable. That said, make no mistake that a high level of success on the LSAT will require extensive studying outside of the class, even if you take the 100-hour class. If you are someone who may have difficulty studying outside the classroom or motivating yourself, I would recommend Strategy Prep's 1 on 1 tutoring or perhaps rethinking your LSAT expectations. Regardless, I highly recommend Strategy Prep to anyone who truly wants to crush the LSAT. Ben went out of his way to ensure that I would have everything I needed to succeed on the LSAT, and I am 100% confident he will do the same for you if you are willing to put in the requisite effort on your end.

If you're planning to take the LSAT and you live in DC, I would strongly recommend enrolling in a course at Strategy Prep.

When I decided to take the LSAT, I wanted to find an instructor who would help me understand the material in the test and teach me strategies for taking it. Preparing for the test is intense. I wanted someone committed to thinking critically about it and to supporting balanced, efficient study skills. Ben is that guy. He cares so much about the LSAT and the types of thinking it demands that he hosts a podcast about it. And that passion shows in his approach to teaching.

I took the 100-hour course. My score went up by 12 points from the diagnostic to the actual exam. I've gotten into a number of top schools, with some scholarship offers, and I feel that is in part because of how Ben's class helped me prepare for the LSAT.

In short, Ben is a fantastic teacher who helps students deeply understand the strategies necessary for success on the LSAT. The materials he uses will help you study efficiently. I couldn't recommend the course more highly.

I took the 40-hour class in preparation for the October 2015 LSAT. Taking this course was the best decision I could have made. Ben is an excellent (and super patient) teacher. Super responsive to questions both in class, at extra-help sessions, and via e-mail. There are tons of extra resources for the course online in the form of YouTube videos, links to additional explanations, and podcasts. And the class was fun, or at least way more fun that you think an LSAT review course is going to be. Ben is funny and engaging and made prepping for this test way less painful than I anticipated it being. The reviews on their web-site might seem too good to be true, but I definitely believe them after taking the class. I don't have my official score back, but my practice scores increased 12 points by the end of the 40-hour course. Worth every penny and cannot say enough positive things.

Before taking a class with Strategy Prep I self studied for about 5 months. I got a 163 on the LSAT, but wanted to break 170. My studying had hit a wall until I took Ben’s class. He made things so much simpler. Concepts I had been confused about for months were all of a sudden clear and I even started to find studying fun. After Ben’s class I got a 171!

I would highly recommend Strategy Prep to anyone. The amount of instruction time, video tutoring, and in person tutoring makes it an incredible value. Plus, you get access to the LSAT Demon (their website, which helped a ton for drilling questions).

Very good experience with Strategy Prep. I went for the 10 1-hour sessions package, which ended up costing much less per hour than some private tutors I had looked into. My tutor was Ben Olson, who a friend had recommended to me earlier. I was at the point where I needed a last 3 or 4 points for my score, so I needed strategic, focused advice. Ben is very easy-going and patient as an instructor, always seeing each of my questions through to the end until I truly understood. My score definitely improved and after I took the LSAT, I was very happy with my score, thanks in part to Ben. My only wish were that Ben would have been more forthcoming in ways I could improve. I felt that I was always asking him to appraise my abilities and see where I could do better, but he didn't do that on his own. Mainly I would bring in questions I had from the practice problems I was working on (books are provided), and we would discuss them.

Overall - I definitely recommend Strategy Prep and Ben Olson

If you are serious about maximizing your LSAT score, Strategy Prep is the only option! Class is engaging, and Ben's (the instructor and owner) expert instruction really makes the concepts clear and understandable. That being said, it is a lot of work, and you will need to put in the hours outside of class if you want to maximize the benefit you receive from the classroom instruction.

Ben has years of experience teaching the LSAT, so he knows the test inside and out, and is eager to share his expert knowledge with all of his students. He is always accessible to answer general and specific LSAT questions, and is very encouraging.

Take it from an LSAT taker who increased his score by 13 points! If you want to maximize your LSAT potential, sign up for Strategy Prep!
