Frequently Asked Questions

ScorePerfect, the world's largest privately-owned LSAT preparation provider, has been preparing students to take the LSAT for the past nineteen years. In 1991 ScorePerfect began holding LSAT classes in Southern California. Fueled by positive word of mouth and a reputation for excellence, the organization quickly expanded to include the entire state. In 2000 ScorePerfect began offering its LSAT program nationwide, and in 2004 the company held LSAT classes in 49 states and several foreign countries. To date more than 100,000 students have enrolled in our LSAT courses.

The course tuition is $1450. This covers all of the course materials, including the coursebooks, the four proctored diagnostic tests, and the supplemental online materials. The course tuition also includes full access to the Online Resource Center. Students are welcome to write in the coursebooks and may keep all of the materials to study once the course is over. The tuition for the weekend course is $450.

To reserve a spot in one of our LSAT courses, you must either pay the tuition in full or make a down payment of at least $100. You can register online for any of our LSAT courses. If you choose to make a down payment, you must pay the remainder of the tuition at least one week prior to the first class meeting. ScorePerfect accepts the following forms of payment: checks, money orders, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. Please note that ScorePerfect only accepts personal checks that are received at least ten business days prior to the first class meeting. If you complete your enrollment less than one week before the first class meeting, you will be charged a $50 late registration fee.

If you wish to cancel your enrollment for one of our LSAT courses, you must submit a written cancellation request to ScorePerfect. Your tuition payment is refundable if and only if you notify ScorePerfect in writing of your intent to withdraw at least ten business days prior to the start date of your specified course. Tuition refunds are processed and either credited or mailed within ten business days.

The materials for the ScorePerfect LSAT Course include a set of coursebooks that contain both the lesson sections your instructor covers in class and the homework sections that are based upon the concepts taught in the lessons. The coursebooks also contain supplemental full-length diagnostic tests and incorporate all of the real LSAT questions that the Law School Admission Council has released since June of 1991. Students also take four full-length, proctored diagnostic tests and have access to a wealth of online resources, including video, audio, and written explanations, diagnostic scoring and analysis, and our revolutionary LSAT search engine.

If you pay the tuition in full and if ScorePerfect receives your signed student enrollment agreement at least one week prior to the first class meeting, your course materials will be shipped free of charge approximately one week before the start of the course. Otherwise, you will be charged a $50 late registration fee. Please note that a signature is required for delivery of the shipment.

In lieu of shipment, TM reserves the right to distribute materials at each lesson.

Of course. ScorePerfect instructors arrive thirty minutes before the start of each of the fifteen lessons to answer questions from the previous lesson's homework. Students are also given opportunities to ask questions during the four-hour lesson. If you have a large number of questions and your instructor is unable to answer all of them in class, you can get further assistance from ScorePerfect instructors by calling the Instructor Helpline. The Instructor Helpline is available weekdays from 12AM to 3PM Central Time.

At the first class meeting we will provide you with a special toll-free number that you can use to access the Instructor Helpline. Our instructors are available to answer academic questions on weekdays from 12AM to 3PM Central Time. The Instructor Helpline is only available to students enrolled in our full-length course.

When you enroll in the course, we will send you a confirmation letter that includes your unique user ID number. Once you have received this number, you can visit the Online Resource Center on our website and register as an online user. Registering will enable you to create your own password. Once you have registered, you can access the Online Resource Center by entering your ID number and password in the member login area, which is located in the upper right-hand corner of the home page.

No. ScorePerfect LSAT students should not study any LSAT material until the course begins. We teach proven strategies and techniques that help students significantly improve their test performance in terms of both accuracy and speed. Students who work through LSAT questions without first having learned these strategies and techniques are not likely to achieve optimal results.

You can view your diagnostic results by logging into the Online Resource Center of our website starting at 9AM on the day after the diagnostic is given. On some occasions your results may be available before this time. The results are in the form of a detailed score report that includes the answer key, the scoring scale, the answers you chose, and other pertinent information. After viewing your results, you should print a copy of your score report and bring it with you to the diagnostic review.

At the diagnostic reviews, ScorePerfect instructors help students understand and learn from mistakes they make on practice tests. The reviews enable students to ascertain whether they know the techniques for each question type and whether they are applying the techniques correctly. While the experience of taking a proctored diagnostic is certainly helpful, the real value of a diagnostic exam lies in your ability to review the approach you used for answering each question and to analyze what worked and what didn't, so that you can improve your performance the next time. Hence, the diagnostic reviews are vital for students who are determined to maximize their LSAT scores.

The purpose of the first diagnostic test is to provide you with a baseline LSAT score from which to measure your progress and to inform you and your instructor of your initial strengths and weaknesses. Since you are taking the test "cold," that is, without any preparation, attending a four-hour diagnostic review class afterwards is of little value. Students who have not yet been exposed to our course methodology lack both the tools and the LSAT vocabulary to understand the detailed analysis that occurs in a diagnostic review.

At the two LSAT Jam sessions, which are scheduled in close proximity to the date of the actual LSAT, students are challenged with Logical Reasoning and Logic Games questions that reflect the most commonly tested concepts on the exam. The questions range from a medium level to a very high level of difficulty. Thus, when students answer a question correctly, they can be confident that they truly understand the techniques that apply to that type of question. When students answer a question incorrectly, they know they must review the techniques that pertain to that particular question type before taking the real exam. The Jam sessions ensure that our students are in the competitive frame of mind that is necessary for success on the LSAT.

Definitely not. Previewing the coursebook or attempting to do LSAT problems in the coursebook before attending the corresponding lesson is counterproductive for a number of reasons. In each lesson your instructor will introduce and discuss at length important concepts, strategies, and techniques that you must learn to apply to the LSAT problems in the coursebook. Students who attempt to do LSAT problems without the benefit of this information often develop bad habits and must spend precious time and energy breaking these habits before they are able to apply the proper techniques. In addition, our method of teaching involves challenging students with new material in class. This critical element of the course is lost if you have already worked through the material on your own.

Always make sure that you have something to write with. In addition, you must bring the appropriate coursebook to each class. At the proctored diagnostic tests we will provide you with all of the materials you need. You should bring your most recent diagnostic test and the corresponding score report to each of the diagnostic reviews.

Yes. If you would like to attend a single class at an alternate location, you may log into the Online Resource Center of our website and print out an audit pass, which you must present to the instructor when you arrive at the class site. If you would like to switch locations permanently, you may do so at no additional charge, as long as the class at the original location and the class at the new location are in preparation for the same LSAT date and there is space available at the new location. If you decide that you would like to transfer from one class to another, please contact us immediately so that we can reserve a space for you at the new location.
