LSAT · Admissions · Law school skills
One-on-one work with Maximilian Smith, JD, a licensed Illinois attorney who spent more than a decade teaching and leading graduate test prep at The Princeton Review.
Logical reasoning and reading comprehension, built as a skill over weeks rather than crammed.
Personal statements, addenda, school lists and timing.
Outlining, issue spotting and writing exam answers that earn points.
Reading cases, briefing and the study habits first-year courses assume you already have.
AP World History and high school history, with an outline method that ties facts to sources.
Test strategy, plus the planning and review habits that make practice count.
"I'd rather not hand you a method before we know what the problem is."
We talk about your goals, your timeline and what has or hasn't worked so far.
We look at your work together and find where the points are going, before choosing any method.
Steady weekly practice, untimed first and timed later, with a review of every miss.
