Mark Sacks founded ScoreItUp because he knew what any college student or college graduate knows: the quality (and enjoyment) of a LSAT Prep or college course depends almost entirely upon the teaching effectiveness of the instructor/professor teaching the course.

For that reason, and in stark contrast to other test prep companies, ScoreItUp does not use any part-time subcontractors or student instructors to teach its classes. In addition, ScoreItUp refuses to use any instructors who are not law school graduates or who do not have extensive University level teaching experience.

Every ScoreItUp lesson is guaranteed in writing to be taught by Mark Sacks. Mark´s lessons are uniquely designed to create clear and precise LSAT instruction with a lighthearted and entertaining classroom atmosphere. Some of Mark's credentials include the following:

• Harvard Law School graduate and practicing attorney.
  
  
• Extensive LSAT Prep teaching experience (including prior experience teaching for a national test prep company).
  
  
• UC Irvine Lecturer (taught over 35 full-length law courses to undergraduate, graduate and working professional students at UCI and other top universities).
  
  
• Lectures to law school students and young lawyers nationwide.
  
  
• Consistently excellent student evaluations.
  
  
• Accepted into Harvard, Stanford, UC Berkeley (Boalt), UCLA, and Hastings law schools.
  
  
• Advisory committee member to Harvard University´s admissions committee.
  

Although Mark's ability to earn acceptance into the nation's top law schools was due in part to having scored in the 99^th percentile on the LSAT, he knows that a high LSAT score says little about an instuctor´s ability to teach. Your instructor´s ability to teach you how to maximize your score is what truly matters.  ScoreItUp therefore provides students with information that is highly relevant to their decision: Mark´s student evaluations, teaching background and experience, and overall teaching qualifications.

In addition to extensive teaching experience, students will find that an instructor´s legal background is very important. Mark knows how important it is for a LSAT Prep instructor to have extensive experience teaching law courses at Universities and having a law school education, since he taught LSAT Prep both before and after having done so.

The LSAT examines legal reasoning (and legal writing) concepts used extensively in law school, the State Bar exam, and the practice of law. Mark´s legal background enables him to use effective analogies and present LSAT concepts in a more lucid (and entertaining) manner. National test prep companies are run by founders who typically do not have a legal education or background, and often use instructors who also lack this important legal reasoning training.

Because of ScoreItUp´s unique "instructor guarantee," its students are assured that their instructor has (a) excellent student evaluations that can be independently verified, (b) extensive experience teaching LSAT Prep courses and University courses at top-level Universities, (c) proven teaching effectiveness (including students who have seen truly exceptional LSAT score improvement), and (d) a law school degree and the demonstrated ability to earn acceptance into the country´s top law schools.

In addition, ScoreItUp´s course and Mark´s lessons are revised and updated each year. ScoreItUp students therefore know that their instructor (a) is addressing everything from the "basics" to the most challenging LSAT concepts and questions on recent and real LSAT exams in class, and (b) will have the teaching experience and ability to answer their questions.

In contrast, other companies often "simplify" their generic course lectures so that even their least qualified instructors can teach them. Instructors at these companies also may have trouble providing effective explanations to challenging student questions when forced to stray from the company´s generic lesson plans.

Finally, although solid LSAT instruction should be the core of a quality LSAT Prep course, Mark also believes that studying and learning should be a thoroughly enjoyable activity.  He strives to ensure that his lessons combine a lighthearted and entertaining classroom atmosphere with precise and clear LSAT instruction.  See student comments to get a sense of the classroom instruction, and the fun and entertaining environment in Mark´s courses.
