ScoreItUp LSAT Prep was developed out of a commitment to prelaw students, and guarantees that all lessons are taught entirely by the company’s owner, Harvard Law School graduate and UC Irvine Lecturer Mark Sacks. In addition, because ScoreItUp, does not sell LSAT Prep books, it can draw upon the best teaching materials from a wide variety of different sources.

The key to an effective LSAT Prep course is the instructor’s ability to teach, which requires much more than just a high LSAT score. See The Instructor for details on Mark Sacks' teaching credentials and experience, and see Student Comments to get an excellent sense of what LSAT Prep and University students think of Mark’s teaching!

Students in ScoreItUp’s courses get training in the same basics provided by large test prep companies, but much more. By offering more hours of live lessons, higher quality hours, excellent prices, proven results, and an instructor who truly cares about your progress, ScoreItUp literally changed the landscape of LSAT Prep. Students have traveled from throughout the country to attend these live LSAT Prep courses (offered in the Spring, Summer and Fall in Irvine).

See Course Information, Course Schedules and Course Content for more information about ScoreItUp’s live LSAT Prep courses, as well as personal tutoring and individual courses offered with Mark Sacks year-round. Here are some of the reasons for the popularity of ScoreItUp’s courses:

• Guaranteed Instructor: ScoreItUp provides a written, money-back guarantee that its owner, Mark Sacks, will teach every single lesson. Other companies use part-time student instructors with questionable motivation levels and teaching credentials – most of them do not even have a basic law school degree.
  
  
• More Hours, Lower Prices, and Greater Motivation: ScoreItUp eliminates the unnecessary "middlemen" and gives students more live lesson hours and a better price. Be careful of companies sneaking in "video" or "online" hours into their total hours - they are not the same as live lessons! Also, because ScoreItUp's owner teaches all lessons, your instructor has a greater incentive to see you succeed. See Course Comparison to see just how significant the differences are, and the enormous benefits students receive by cutting out the middleman.
  
  
• Dramatic LSAT Score Increases: ScoreItUp students' results speak for themselves. Please see Student Stories and Student Comments or email Mark Sacks directly for more information about the success of ScoreItUp's students, and the tremendous score improvement they have seen!
  
  
• Legal Reasoning Expertise: The LSAT tests legal reasoning skills. Teaching LSAT Prep requires explaining the LSAT’s legal reasoning concepts clearly and effectively. Mark received legal reasoning training at Harvard Law School and as a practicing lawyer, and has extensive experience teaching legal reasoning skills in both LSAT Prep and University law courses. You wouldn’t rely on a surgeon who never went to medical school, so why use a LSAT Prep instructor who does not have legal reasoning training, a law school degree, or the experience necessary to teach the LSAT’s legal reasoning concepts?
  
  
• Writing Sample Expertise: The LSAT includes a Writing Sample that tests a student’s legal writing ability and is provided to every law school to which one applies. Mark Sacks has had extensive legal writing training and experience, and every ScoreItUp course includes a Writing Sample lesson. Other test prep companies often don’t cover the Writing Sample, or use instructors with no legal writing experience to teach it!
  
  
• Admissions Counseling Expertise: Mark Sacks has had extensive discussions with numerous law school admissions directors, serves on the Advisory Committee to Harvard University’s admissions committee, and knows what admission committees want to see in prospective law students. ScoreItUp courses include formal and informal discussions with Mark on admissions issues as well as a fun-filled and highly practical "life as a lawyer" discussion.
  
  
• Extensive Online Resources: ScoreItUp provides extensive online information, 24/7, including (1) step-by-step explanations for answering the different types of LSAT questions, (2) detailed analysis of major LSAT topics (e.g., Formal Logic, Cause and Effect, etc.), (3) extensive explanations of every question on numerous LSAT exams, (4) precise explanations of over 1000 real LSAT questions, including complete setups and detailed answers to Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games) questions, and (5) quizzes and extensive examples (using real LSAT questions) that reinforce key LSAT concepts.
  
  
• Independently Verifiable Student Evaluations: ScoreItUp students are ensured that their instructor has proven results, and can review extensive, unedited and independently verifiable student evaluations of Mark Sacks. See Student Comments for more details.
  
  
• More LSAT Questions Analyzed: Because ScoreItup's owner teaches every ScoreItUp lesson, more LSAT questions can be analyzed, more timed sections can be completed, and more complex LSAT Prep topics (as well as the basics) can be addressed…and amusing "war stories" will keep classes lively and fun!
  
  
• Real LSAT Questions: ScoreItUp uses only real LSAT questions and exams for all lessons, mock exams, and homework – no fake, company-generated questions!
  
  
• Exclusive Focus on LSAT Prep: ScoreItUp focuses 100% of its attention on LSAT Prep, and does not divide its attention or resources on other standardized tests like the SAT, GMAT, GRE, or MCAT.
  
  
• $199 Repeat Courses: ScoreItUp students may attend all of the live lessons and mock exams at a future "repeat" course with Mark Sacks for a mere $199.
  
  
• No cancelled courses: Many large, bureaucratic test prep companies are known for advertising several course offerings, and then canceling low-enrollment courses at the last minute. ScoreItUp has never cancelled a course on any student.
  
  
• No Fake Student Comments: Many test prep companies are notorious for posting fake student comments about their company. Students often are unaware of this prevalent and exceedingly devious practice. ScoreItUp has never posted a fake student comment on any website.
  
  
• Straightforward Advantages: In contrast to other companies' advertising gimmicks (e.g., "average score increases" with tricky fine print, instructors claiming to have earned a high LSAT score multiple times, etc.), the advantages of ScoreItUp are straightforward, legitimate, and real: Guaranteed Instructor + No Middlemen = Superior Quality + Lower Price!
