The LSAT is an exam in which students are likely to improve in a meaningful way by receiving excellent instruction, and by diligent and dedicated practice. ScoreItUp uses the best LSAT Prep strategies on the market, and guarantees that all lessons will be taught by the company founder, Mark Sacks.

The average practice LSAT score increase of ScoreItUp students was calculated over a period of four years. The average was taken from all eight (8) classes taught by ScoreItUp’s founder, Mark Sacks, for which data was collected during that extensive time period. It was an outstanding +15 LSAT points (comparing first-to-best practice LSAT scores).*  That can translate into an exceptional practice LSAT score increase of approximately 56 percentile (see below!). Of course, many students increase more than +15 points on their timed practice LSATs. For you numbers junkies, here is some additional data regarding these practice LSAT score increases (see * below for more details):

• 100% of students increased 1 or more points
• 98% of students increased 5 or more points
• 83% of students (5 out of every 6) increased 10 or more points
• 54% of students (more than 1 out of 2) increased 14 or more points
• 33% of students (1 out of every 3) increased 18 or more points
• 10% of students increased 24 or more points
• 2% of students increased 30 points

If you are unfamiliar with the LSAT, the entire LSAT “curve” is only 60 points (it is graded on a 120-180 scale), so you can imagine the impact of an increase of +15 points, or 56 percentile.  Consider the following two hypothetical situations demonstrating the impact of a +15 point practice LSAT score increase:

• Hypothetical Student #1: He/she begins the course with a practice LSAT score better than or equal to approximately 50% of the nation (and worse than 50% of the nation), and improves to a practice LSAT score better than or equal to approximately 95% of the nation (and worse than only 5% of the nation) – i.e., an improvement of approximately 45 percentile (and +15 LSAT points).
• Hypothetical Student #2: He/she begins the course with a practice LSAT score better than or equal to approximately 33% of the nation (and worse than 67% of the nation), and improves to a practice LSAT score better than or equal to approximately 89% of the nation (and worse than only 11% of the nation) – i.e., an improvement of approximately 56 percentile (and +15 LSAT points).

Please note that student results vary considerably and the above numbers are not a guarantee of actual performance on the LSAT.  Also, these results do not reflect comparisons to official LSAT scores, since that data is not available – these results are an “apples to apples” comparison of students taking full-length, real LSATs in a timed classroom setting designed to simulate the official LSAT. Finally, while the results are extensive and include all reported data, they only are able to include all responding students (collected via the well-known and credible survey collector, “Survey Monkey”). ScoreItUp’s method of tabulating student results is believed to be more inclusive than any other one used in the industry (e.g., some companies only include students who took all mock exams, severely limiting the number of students included).

*The results demonstrating a +15-point average practice LSAT score increase came from all eight (8) of ScoreItUp’s live courses spanning a four-year period, between Fall 2011 to Summer 2015, for which the data was collected through the credible survey collector, “Survey Monkey.” Each course was taught by Mark Sacks (using the same time-tested LSAT Prep strategies as those used in ScoreItUp’s “live online” courses). The results indicated an overall average practice LSAT score increase of +15 points. All students responding to the survey were included, so long as they reported taking the initial diagnostic exam and at least one additional mock exam. (Percentages listed in the bullet points below the second paragraph are based upon the combined total responses from Summer 2012 and Spring 2013 live courses.)  For more information, please email Mark at mark@scoreitup.com.
