From critically evaluating logical reasoning passages and drawing well-supported conclusions, to applying effective
diagramming techniques and identifying structural flaws and errors in arguments, our instructors focus on teaching you the
critical skills you need to master the LSAT.
At the end of each and every LSAT prep course, our students are asked to evaluate our teaching staff. They tell us that they
find our course instructors approachable, highly knowledgeable, and able to present difficult material in a dynamic, useful, and
creative manner which facilitates learning and understanding.
In addition to the extensive home study materials, which every student receives, we also make available for purchase
additional LSAT practice materials from the Law School Admission Council. These valuable resources will assist you in
further study.
In order to ensure a low student-to-instructor ratio, we ask free repeat students to contact us in advance to reserve their place in
the upcoming LSAT test prep class. Free repeat students are asked to bring their original course materials and valid ID to class.
Our LSAT preparation course covers how to master all areas of the application and admissions process. This includes a
comprehensive review of:
• What law school admissions committees are • How to carefully choose your references
really looking for • How to highlight your extra-curricular
• How to avoid the traps and mistakes of activities

• Properly presenting your academic grades • Mature students and special circumstances

For further information about law schools, review our Canadian Law School Profiles included in this package.
The LSAT provides a standard measure of acquired reading and verbal reasoning skills that law schools use as a primary factor
in assessing applicants. The test itself is comprised of numerous questions designed to assess a wide range of abilities involved
in critical thinking, with an emphasis on the skills that are central to legal reasoning. These skills include:
! the reading and comprehension of complex text with accuracy and insight
! the organization and management of information and the ability to draw reasonable inferences from it
! the ability to think critically
! the analysis and evaluation of the reasoning and arguments of others
The LSAT is scored on a scale of 120 - 180 points. To put the score scale in
perspective, the University of Toronto, for example, is looking for a potential
candidate to have a score of approximately 167. The University of Victoria would “Now that I've
