top 15 reasons to choose scoreitup

This was intended only as a “Top 10” list, but it just couldn’t be done! (Click each link for more details.)

ScoreItUp guarantees that its founder, Mark Sacks, will teach all lessons. This guarantee applies to all students, whether you attend live online from anywhere in the U.S. or internationally, or join me in person in Southern California.

The benefits of that approach include:

  • consistency in teaching style,
  • accountability for your progress.
  • a highly motivated instructor, and
  • an instructor whose success is directly tied to yours.

Equally important is what you will NOT get, including:

  • a rotating cast of anonymous instructors,
  • last-minute instructor substitutes, and
  • inexperienced instructors looking for a short-term gig.

Higher-score guarantees often have key restrictions buried in fine print. ScoreItUp offers guarantees that are transparent and student-focused.

In addition to guaranteeing your instructor, ScoreItUp provides TWO Higher Score Guarantees for added reassurance.

 

Your ScoreItUp practice work is done on the actual LSAC LawHub platform used on test day, not a company simulation. You don’t want a surprise or unfamiliar experience when you take the official LSAT.

In addition, ScoreItUp uses only real, officially released LSAT PrepTests for all instruction and self-study.

Mark brings deep familiarity with the LSAT’s recurring patterns and traps. Instruction is clear and precise, including thoughtful responses to your questions. 

In your ScoreItUp course, you will:

  • work with an extensive number of LSAT questions, carefully selected to illustrate critical concepts, 
  • see Mark analyze these questions–including key wrong answer choices–immediately after you take them,
  • develop the ability to efficiently analyze even the most challenging LSAT questions, and
  • learn how test writers use logic fallacies to construct tempting wrong answers. 

ScoreItUp’s Live Online, In-Person, and Self-Paced (Video + Text) courses include:

  • a comprehensive online library of video and text instruction,
  • training manuals and outlines broken into user-friendly segments,
  • detailed written explanations to thousands of LSAT questions, 
  • text and video instruction on all core concepts (arguments, logical fallacies, conditional statements, causation, etc.), and
  • added video instruction covering a wide range of Logical Reasoning and Reading Comp questions.

ScoreItUp’s online resources serve to:

  • offer a comprehensive course for students seeking DIY prep,
  • seamlessly supplement lessons for live-course students,
  • reinforce key strategies, and
  • ensure consistent, high-quality instruction in all ScoreItUp courses.

Mark spends 30 minutes at the end of several lessons analyzing LSAT questions selected by students in a dynamic “group tutoring” format. It’s a fun way to:

  • challenge Mark with tough LSAT questions,
  • collaborate with classmates, and
  • watch the analysis of questions that stumped students. 

Mark also remains available after each lesson for additional student questions.

Because of ScoreItUp’s Instructor Guarantee, all student results and reviews are from students working with YOUR instructor.

You also can read about a unique ScoreItUp student 180 LSAT score record.  

 

ScoreItUp allows you to choose courses that works with your needs and learning style. You can choose from among different course lengths, ranging from a flexible 1-month course to an exceptionally thorough 8+ month course (including a whopping 120 live course hours!).

Each course uses entirely new LSAT questions, so you can work with Mark for a short time or extended periods and not repeat material. You also can start with a short course and extend it afterward.

ScoreItUp also offers various course formats to fit your schedule and learning style. You can prep with Mark:

  • Live online: Accessible worldwide (most popular).

  • In person: Ideal for Southern California residents seeking a classroom environment (in Orange County).

  • 1-on-1: Fully customizable. Choose anything from a couple hours of focused attention to in-depth programs combining a group course and substantial 1-on-1 time with Mark. 

  • Self-paced: For students who prefer independent study.

ScoreItUp offers lots of flexibility with one thing in common: the instructor teaching you! 

Your self-study homework is customizable in order to fit your preferences. You can:

  • practice entirely on LSAC’s official LawHub platform,
  • use modern AI tools with features like adaptive learning and analytics (using a simulated platform),* or
  • combine some of both approaches. 

Because students differ and ScoreItUp doesn’t promote any particular platform, Mark will:

  • provide clear and unbiased guidance on the benefits of each method,
  • help students choose homework strategies that best suit their learning style,
  • offer ongoing support if you want to make adjustments, and
  • maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of your self-study.

ScoreItUp courses go well beyond LSAT prep and include detailed guidance on:

  • law school applications,
  • personal statements, and
  • the LSAT Writing Sample.

Students also gain insight into:

  • common application mistakes,
  • effective narrative strategies for personal statements, and
  • typical admission committee decision methodology.

These added insights help maximize the strength of the “soft factors” of your application.

1-on-1 assistance with personal statements is also available separately.

ScoreItUp focuses exclusively on LSAT preparation and does not divide its attention among multiple standardized tests.

By concentrating solely on the LSAT, ScoreItUp:

  • continuously refines its LSAT Prep curriculum,
  • builds on a deep, long-standing body of materials,
  • provides explanations to LSAT questions with great clarity and precision, and
  • avoids generic approaches designed to work “well enough” across many different exams.

ScoreItUp lessons regularly connect LSAT strategies to the real world of law. 

Beyond the classroom, Mark also helps students gain access to:

  • unique legal networking opportunities,
  • internships,
  • trial-watching experiences,
  • volunteer “mock juror” service, and
  • “law mixers” with law students, lawyers and judges.

These optional, wide-ranging experiences are designed to help students:

  • see the connection between LSAT skills and real-life legal settings,
  • build connections with peers and professionals, and
  • make LSAT Prep more exciting and enjoyable!

Law school and practicing law can be a lot of fun, and there’s no reason LSAT prep shouldn’t be as well.

Mark uses examples drawn from his real-world legal experience to make LSAT concepts engaging and memorable, including: 

  • exciting criminal and civil jury trials,
  • memorable law firm and summer associate antics,
  • awkward “Socratic method” law school experiences, and
  • legal cases with eye-opening fact patterns.

Your ScoreItUp course with Mark will be as entertaining as it is effective, producing serious results in a lively class environment.

 

Here are some classic examples of LSAT Prep hype that do absolutely nothing to improve your LSAT score:

  • “average score increases” that exclude most students,
  • misleading 170+ guarantees, and
  • “ranking companies” that are affiliates of–and financially tied to–the LSAT Prep programs they “rank.” 

ScoreItUp focuses on delivering real results with high-quality instruction. Equally important are the things ScoreItUp does NOT do, including:

  • publish fake student comments on law forums,
  • cherry-pick “averages” that exclude most lower-scoring students,
  • place excessive restrictions buried in fine print on its higher score guarantees, and
  • employ disguised financial arrangements to companies/people that “rank” LSAT Prep companies.

You deserve transparent, effective LSAT prep using the best materials and strategies—not gimmicks.
