Many of ScoreItUp’s competitors suggest that students avoid studying for the LSAT before taking their course.  Do you agree? ScoreItUp believes that this is one of many countless advertising gimmicks used by some of its competitors.  By making this suggestion, their students come into their course less prepared for the LSAT, and are likely to do worse on the course’s initial diagnostic exam.  As a result, the company can then advertise a larger “average score improvement” for its students once the course is completed (since the student’s final LSAT score is being compared to a lower initial diagnostic score). ScoreItUp refuses to make suggestions that do not help current students simply to help create advertisements to solicit future students. Although it is not at all necessary for you to study for the LSAT exam before taking a ScoreItUp course, you will not be harmed by doing so.
