about scoreitup and mark sacks

My name is Mark Sacks and I founded ScoreItUp LSAT Prep in 2008 after working as an instructor for a national LSAT Prep company, graduating from Harvard Law School, teaching the LSAT’s “legal reasoning skills” to thousands of University students, and scoring in the 99th percentile on the LSAT.

When I founded ScoreItUp, I recognized that I could provide you with a far superior LSAT Prep course (as well as a better value for your hard-earned money) by “cutting out the middleman,” eliminating the LSAT Prep gimmicks and focusing on what really matters: learning the best LSAT Prep strategies, and understanding precisely why the right answers to LSAT questions are right, and why the wrong answers are wrong.

Fortunately, the results support my belief that high-quality LSAT Prep instruction matters. ScoreItUp students have achieved exceptional results, including (1) an outstanding +15 point average practice LSAT score increase, (2) a world record for student 180 LSAT scores, (3) enormous, merit-based scholarships to Top 10, regional and/or local law schools, and (4) LSAT score increases that sometimes equal or exceed 35 LSAT points (an approximate 88 percentile increase).* Countless ScoreItUp students have earned acceptance into the nation’s top legal institutions, including Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Chicago, NYU, UC Berkeley, Virginia, Michigan, Penn, Duke, Northwestern, Cornell, Georgetown, UCLA, USC and UCI.

On a more personal note, I still vividly recall the stress of being in your shoes and studying for this critically important exam. As strange as it may sound, ScoreItUp is a business that combined two of my biggest passions in life: teaching and the LSAT (a logic-based exam that I am convinced is more fun than any one you will ever take). I have devoted my entire career to teaching LSAT Prep, as well as working with the “legal reasoning skills” tested on the LSAT as a University professor and practicing attorney. I began my legal career spending several years as a “BigLaw” civil litigator, and then became a career criminal prosecutor – but teaching has always been at the very core of who I am.

My LSAT Prep teaching background and training include:

-personally teaching LSAT Prep to thousands of students (beginning before I went to law school!),

-routinely providing LSAT Prep workshops to all the top Universities in Southern California,

-developing and teaching over 50 law courses to undergraduate, graduate and working professional students at UCI, Chapman and CSUF (including UCI’s “Legal Reasoning and the Law” course),

-writing extensively on LSAT Prep and the law school admission process,

-creating all of ScoreItUp’s LSAT Prep course programs,

-working as an Advisory Committee member to Harvard University’s Admission Committee, and

-working with the legal reasoning skills tested on the LSAT at Harvard Law School, and as a University law professor, criminal prosecutor and former “BigLaw” civil litigator.
