It's been a year but I figured it was time for an update. Few notes: I did not go to law school immediately after last Spring, and took a break from studying until this summer when I picked it up again. Got a 175 this time around. Review of Online Materials: I re-activated my Blueprint account again, which (frustratingly) does NOT allow you to reset your progress upon return after so long, thereby making all the tests/questions you used in the past (even if it was over a year ago), unusable. That is one critical flaw that the Blueprint folks absolutely should fix. With that being said though, the test has changed a lot over the last year - mainly with the change of format to digital. As it so happens, Blueprint does a largely great job of providing a large bank of questions and exams for people to practice in the digital format - which I found very helpful - especially in drilling by question type, difficulty, etc. The ability to filter question banks by a variety of filters really helped me drill through material to get better at tricky question types and start identifying commonalities in the mistakes I made. So overall, for a new user, I would absolutely recommend the online materials (barring the issues I mentioned above (and previously). Review of the Berkeley Course with Mike: Given the length of time that has passed between the time I took the Spring 2018 course and the LSAT, I'm not sure how much of a useful update I can provide to the in-class experience. Especially with the change in format, because the way I remember RC being taught in class will now be drastically affected by the test going digital, so I'm not sure what that looks like anymore. With that being said, my opinion of Mike as an instructor remains the same. He was incredibly helpful; and if you know how to ask for help, he's there to give it. *Final note: The course and materials are helpful. And certainly helped provide me the motivation I needed. But these can be very expensive, so if you decide to go for it, go in with the right mindset. Don't skip classes, engage, do the assigned homework, and do additional practice ON YOUR OWN TIME. Good luck! read more

Awesome LSAT prep course! If you are a VISUAL LEARNER and find cartoons and diagrams helpful in understanding material, then this prep course is for you! Blueprint learning material and instructors teach you what and how to study for the LSAT in a fun and entertaining way! Before Blueprint, I took the Kaplan prep course and was unhappy with it. Kaplan did not match my learning style. I found Kaplan learning material and instructors bland and unappealing. Kaplan is black and white while Blueprint is vibrant and visually grabs your attention and desire to want to learn and actually enjoy studying. After I completed the Blueprint classroom instruction, my LSAT score DID improve! I got accepted into law schools and next year will be graduating. So if you want to boost your LSAT score, then enroll here! You will not be disappointed! Persevere and you will succeed! read more

It's a really good course, and if you get Nick you get someone willing to do anything to help you get the score you have the potential of getting. They're also down to earth with you, and let you know how terrible an idea Law School is, but help you to get there anyways. I had a full time job and still had a sizable score increase, so go for it. read more

I took a Blueprint LSAT class this past summer and was thoroughly underwhelmed. The class structure was very generalized and not useful for targeted learning. Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses among the sections and the curriculum does not allow flexibility to target specific weaknesses. I made the largest gains in my score after I realized going to class was a waste of time and just individually focused on my weaknesses. Khan Academy is probably a better option for those who have the discipline to study and want more targeted attention. (its also free so you save $1500 that you can instead spend on private individual tutoring for trouble spots). read more

I may be an outlier here, but please be very cautious before plopping down your money $1500 for an in-person course with Blueprint. The material is covered very quickly and the teacher, Mike, in my experience, did not break down the material nearly enough for my comprehension. I felt that the class was rushed and the teacher himself admitted that material that was previously covered in 10-12 weeks has now been squeezed into barely 8. I would definitely recommend Fox TestPrep which tends to break down the material much more than Blueprint. read more

I'm just about to take the LSAT so I can't say much about how helpful a Blueprint classroom course would be to folks who are looking to get a 170 score or higher. What I'm able to confidently say though is that Mike Moss, my Blueprint instructor, has been a helpful resource and a great teacher overall. Blueprint's LSAT prep course is actually extremely organized that it's easy to follow even if you study on your own but Mike taught us more than just what to study for the LSAT but also and more importantly, how to study for the LSAT by offering his own strategies and insights to help us better navigate our individual prep. Seriously, for a slightly introverted person like me, he definitely made the class a lot less terrifying. The truth is, studying for the LSAT is hard and besides you putting in the time and effort to ace the test, I believe being able to have access to great resources is GOLD and I highly recommend Blueprint for that. read more

I took the Spring course with Mike Moss and extended my online access to the resources to take the July exam. I'm still currently studying but have wrapped up my live course, and I thought it was extremely helpful. For me personally, I knew I wanted to do an in-person course to keep myself engaged and on a schedule. Now that I'm self-studying, the online resources are very helpful-- so much so that I'm definitely extending my subscription for the next two months. I saw a significant improvement in my score already. Mike is fantastic at answering questions and going through test-taking strategies. He is very patient and always willing to lend extra time to discuss questions one-on-one. I appreciate his help and his humor, and hope to return in August with good news! read more

I was really nervous prepping for the LSAT and following the Blueprint program was a great choice for me. My instructor, Aaron, really made studying for the LSAT bearable through his sense of humor and encouragement throughout the process. He also gave great advice before and after the exam. My score was definitely higher than it would have been without this course. read more

Blair was an extremely intelligent, easygoing, nice, considerate and all-around awesome teacher.

I took this course with Mike Moss after some self-studying and found his instruction to be very useful. Mike clearly understands logic at a deep level but also is incredibly familiar with how the LSAT is written and with each LSAT question. Most importantly, I found his instruction style to be very efficient, well-practiced, and organized. Mike is approachable and made himself available before and after class to answer additional one-on-one questions or address any concerns. By simply attending each class and completing the homework outside of the course, I saw significant improvement. Although the class is supposedly set up for students who have not yet put any time into studying, I think one would get the most out of this course if they come to the first day of class having at least studied some amount on their own. For me, taking an in person course provided the structure and organization that I needed to adequately prepare for the test. Mike was a very good instructor and I would recommend him to someone looking for an LSAT tutor or course instructor. read more

Blueprint LSAT Preparation is a fun, visual, and step by step LSAT preparation that will help guide and prepare you for the LSAT's. I took a Blueprint classroom prep course in San Jose in April 2014 for the June LSAT. The class is set up to prepare you for the upcoming test, by starting you off with basic concepts, and building test tricks and skills for test day. The class was Mondays, Wednesdays, and some Saturdays and Sundays. There were practice tests every weekend as it got closer to the actual test date, and video's to help you study. If you paid an additional amount, you can have access to ALL videos after each lesson. I felt i could have been more prepared for the LSAT's if I studies full time like most of the youngsters in my class. Homework was intense, and class was 6:00pm to about 10:00pm. If you work full time, and attend class, homework is almost impossible. I did what I could during my lunch breaks, on Tuesday's and Thursday's (non-class days), and weekends. Studying for the LSAT's is exhausting! I can see how it was a full time job for most. My teacher (met him at UC Berkley- For People Of Color- Law School Application Workshop) was awesome! He scored a 170, studied for the LSAT's full time prior to teaching, this was one of his first jobs, lived at home with his parents, and taught class a few quarters, before attending Columbia in the fall of 2015. His girlfriend, was attending Harvard law that same fall. Both most recent college grads, and had the privilege of studying full time to prepare for test. I would recommend, only if you have the time dedicated to studying and doing homework. The class course is not set up for the full time, older working professional. I wish I would have purchased the online course, and/or the video course instead o study on my own time when I was available to focus. The classes provided an ease, and level of comfort to face the LSAT's head on, and in real time. However, the cold calling and problems over and over again after a long day of work was not the best study method for me. Although I did get into law school and was wait-listed on my first choice, I plan to re-take, and re-apply to law school. Now that I am comfortable with the test, and BLUEPRINT help me get my feet wet, I plan to self study and plan to purchase a video, or online course instead. This will work better for me since I am a mom, and working professional. read more

The first time I took the LSAT, I got a hold of a few empty Testmasters and studied on my own with other books. Blueprint is infinitely better. First, Colin, the teacher, is awesome. He's a sardonic evil bastard who has a lot a fun with the class. Second, the methodology is far better much better than Testmasters (or anything else). I wouldn't say either clearly dominates the other in regards to games or logical reasoning, but Blueprint completely blows everything else on the market out of the water in regards to reading comprehension. Everyone else's strategy boils down to: read faster and understand better (no shit). Testmasters actually has a system they teach you that is tremendously helpful. To top it all off, Blueprint is cheaper than any of the other major LSAT courses. Absolutely no contest. Even if all you get is the materials, I still highly recommend it. read more

As the end of the class session is fast approaching I would like to write my review to the Blueprint Staff, especially to my instructor Phil B. I am so glad I chose Blueprint as a preparatory course for the LSAT. First thing I would like to address is the location(s). For Bay Area folks, there is one in East Bay (Berkeley), Silicon Valley (San Jose and Palo Alto), and SF Bay (SF)-- perfect for students on either ends of the bay or bridge. I chose the one in Berkeley since it was closest to my home and convenient enough for me to drive after work. Time is quite flexible. During the academic school year, they offer classes that are in the evening and weekend classes so that both students and people that have full time Jobs can take the course. The only thing that sucks about this location is that it is right across from the Berkeley campus, so parking can be difficult. But if you circle around the block long enough, there is bound to be parking somewhere. The classroom can fit about 25-30 students. I don't think my class had more than 25 students. It was a the right amount, where seating is suffice and you can get know both the students and instructor. There are 2 bathrooms, no wifi (the two do not correlate, but I thought it would be nice to mention!) Phil is such a great instructor. He engages the students by cold-calling, and making sure we are all connected on the same page. The four hours of lecture/LSAT practicing goes by extremely fast because (1) everyone is extremely hard working and trying their best to increase their score (2) Phil teaches it in a way that doesn't bore the students. Jokes aren't needed for students to like the class, however personality and the enjoyment of teaching is key. I am not sure if other instructors do the same, but Phil's teaching abilities are superb. I believe that he really enjoys teaching and working with students. He also does not make students feel bad for not knowing the material or getting the answer wrong. There are so many times where I get the answer wrong and I'm like "Shit, for a college graduate I am stupid!". He is extremely knowledgeable in the LSAT, I mean he has to be, BP hires 170+ folks (I am sure there are other talents that are needed). He shares great tips from the tools he have from BP as well as his personal tips-- and we can gage which one are most effective in OUR way of learning the material. I would rate my overall experience at Blueprint a 5/5. I highly recommend BP as a preparatory course. They have a great team not only prepares you efficiently, they also truly care about their students (even if we were planning to become corrupt lawyers). They are like grandma and grandpa-- no matter what you plan to be they want to you achieve the highest score possible (maybe without the money on birthdays) read more

Blueprint is SO helpful! I signed up for the March class, which is designed to prepare you for the June exam. Don't underestimate the amount of time and energy this course requires! My class meets twice a week for four hours each, and the homework can be time-consuming if completed thoroughly. However, making this large commitment is totally worth it for the LSAT! Mike Moss teaches my Berkeley class, and I absolutely recommend him to everyone in the Bay Area! He is clearly very intelligent and knowledgeable about the LSAT exam, and he breaks down difficult concepts by using fun, easy-to-understand examples. He makes class entertaining, and you can really tell that he wants all his students to succeed. He makes himself very available by email and before/after class; sometimes I almost feel like I have my own personal tutor! If that's not convincing enough, he's even brought us pizza! The Blueprint methods break down the underlying mechanisms of the LSAT and provide strategies for tackling different types of questions that appear in all the sections of the exam. The online content is also incredibly useful, given it contains a vast collection of previous LSAT questions and engaging videos that explain the answers. The online program is also "smart," tailoring questions and content to your individual strengths/weaknesses based on your progress in the course. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Blueprint to anyone considering taking the LSAT exam! read more

The LSAT is one extremely hard SOB and honestly, wouldn't have done it without the help of Blueprint. If you're taking the LSAT, you know GPA kinda takes backseat when you're applying for law school- most schools counts on the LSAT. The great thing about Blueprint is it breaks it down for you to understand, granted you do the homework and practice like there's no tomorrow. There are no guarantees that you'll get a 170+, but you'll find yourself armed to tackle all three sections after the course, the rest is just purely practice and endurance training. I'm about to take the June lsat next week and possibly might do a second take in Sept. I recommend getting the actual live course- the videos are supplementary but don't rely on the online course by itself. Overall, Blueprint does not leave out any material for students, everything is explained and refined with a fine tooth comb. read more

Haha, I am writing this on the day my score came out. Not that my score hinged on my review but I was reminded that I haven't written a report talking about how AWESOME Blueprint is. LOVE Blueprint. Aaron, my teacher, was a great, down-to-earth, funny and really helpful guy. You can tell he really knows his way around the course and the LSAT at this point. He is really patient with ALL the students and spends time getting to know their names and their situations. You can tell he cares. He also bought us sliver pizza twice!! WHAT! Such a great guy. The company Blueprint itself is also a great LSAT prep company. If you are choosing between them or Kaplan I would choose BP all the way. They make the material funny, don't take themselves too seriously, and they are always willing to help you to try to improve and answer any of your questions asked in your moments of anxiety and insanity. I found the customer service/support team one of the most helpful sources for tech support or just any small questions. They are so quick to respond and always really friendly and patient with your questions. I never felt like I was getting "lost" in a big company like I do with many other test prep companies. I knew pretty much all the names of the people on the customer service team by the end of my course and they were all lovely. They also had a lot of sources for study material, whether it be through practice tests, practice sets, practice questions, etc. The list goes on. The website is really sleek and easy to use although sometimes can be a bit glitchy (they are always really quick to solve it) If I could do it all over again, I would still choose this company over any others in the bay area. Amazing company, amazing staff, amazing teachers! Love you BP! read more

This company has the LSAT figured out. I did research on many LSAT companies out there and I'm glad I chose Blueprint. If you're considering law school check out Law School Podcaster (iTunes and it's free). It has a ton of podcast discussing everything you'll want to know about what to expect surround law school. One of those subjects is the LSAT. Matt Riley is one of the guest speakers on this podcast who offers sound advice for the LSAT. I didn't realize who he was until after I signed up for the class but this helped me establish another layer of credibility. The LSAT is similar to learning a new skill. I say skill specifically because unlike knowledge, you have to practice to enhance a skill. You get the knowledge in class. The skill comes from the drills and practice questions at home. What makes the difference between trying to do this on your own and a class? With the class and online materials, you receive detailed information as to why each answer is right or wrong. You also can put together a detail plan to help in the areas you choose. Could a person figure all this out on your own? You sure could. It will take time and you will be piecing a lot of free content out there to help you but enevitably, it may cost you more in time then making the investment. I'm glad I paid for the class even though it's defiantly a sacrifice. Even if I don't take the LSAT right away, I have the structure to now practice on my own. The online course is adequate enough as well by the way. I've never seen an online course be so detailed and extensive. If I could go back I'd still do the class because it's a great compliment to the online course but if I choose the online course instead I'd be ok. If you are working and attending school full time, be wary. You need more time outside of the class then inside the class to practice. I'm full time student and employee and it's killing me. Looking back I would have either taken the semester off or quit my job or both. It's that deep. It's not Blueprints fault though. The LSAT is just designed that way. They are providing adequate coverage for what is an intense test. Aaron (LSAT instructor at Berkeley) is great. Cool, down to earth guy who is really smart and helpful. You'll certainly have to pay attention to keep up. It has to be a tough gig to train for the LSAT it's clear he enjoys what he does. read more

Took a class with Blueprint in the summer of 2008 and it was the best decision I ever made. Going to law school, horrible idea, but the LSAT prep was incredible. I actually had a fun time during class, learned a lot and improved my score a whopping 17 points. I would recommend Blueprint to anybody looking into the LSAT, totally worth the $ (and it's cheaper than other classes), the instructors and schedule are great and you would dumb to go with any other prep comapny. read more

I've taken a look at some other popular LSAT books, including the Powerscore series and Nova, and the methods taught by Colin at Blueprint include all of the other books' strategies and one-up them. Among people I know, more highly recommended than any other program, including Kaplan or Testmasters, and it didn't hurt that it was cheaper. The best thing about Blueprint was my instructor, Colin the Cynical, who always said things as it is, and never got boring. Having a live instructor helped me a lot in being able to ask questions, especially from someone who actually scored in the top percentile on the test. If you want to do well on the LSAT, take Blueprint, and practice a lot! read more

A friend in LA recommended Blueprint to me after they helped her get into NYU law, and when I finally got around to studying for the LSAT I decided to give it a shot. So now that the Dec LSAT is upon us, what's my verdict? Well, Blueprint was a really solid lsat course; the evening/weekend schedule worked really well for me, and of course it was much much much better to be prepping with the class than by myself (as prepping by myself inevitably ended with me using my princeton review book to prop up my ashtray while I watched West Wing eps). The materials were very comprehensive, even at times slightly overexhaustive, and they included nifty podcasts of lessons and hw. And Colin was an excellent instructor. It was pretty much like being taught how to take the LSAT by Seth Rogan, and hey who's not a fan of some comedy testprep? In short, if you're embarking on the grossness that is the law school apps process definitely give Blueprint a call. It won't just keep you from attending 1-800-college-of-law... it'll probably give you a shot at some pretty stellar school options! read more

Blueprint has been so helpful in preparing me for the June exam over the past three months. I've seen my score increase by 10 points since beginning the course and it isn't even finished yet. The online homework keeps me on top of my studies and the tutorials are clear in their explanation of the material. This prep course is certainly a time commitment, but it is worth it and I can honestly say I feel confident going into the upcoming LSAT. I have been taking the class in Berkeley and my instructor, Mike Moss, has exceeded my expectations with his dedication to supporting his students. He is willing to stay a few minutes late to help students with any questions we might have and he has emailed me individually to ask if there are any areas I need extra help with. He arrives to every class on time and prepared to teach each lesson. I would recommend his class and the Blueprint prep course to any student serious about doing well on the LSAT. read more

I had no experience with the LSAT and blueprint took me from a mediocre score to the 99th percentile. I would recommend it to anyone studying for the LSAT. Their methods are second to none in my opinion. Granted you have to put in the work outside of class to see results, i think that blueprint is the best bang for your buck. (Note: it is significantly cheaper than similar test prep courses by Testmasters or Kaplan or Powerscore) read more

I had the Blueprint class in Palo Alto with Mike Moss. The class was really great! While I wish Blueprint's courses could generally be a little longer, they do an amazing job of packing in an immense amount of content in a very effective way. The software is very intuitive and maps out what you need to do really well! It is pretty buggy when the traffic is high though, so you should definitely keep tabs on that. Mike was really a great instructor. He would come to class everyday prepared and ready to teach and explain every single concept. He would always stop, take questions and be receptive to what the class needed. If we were going 10minutes over, he wouldn't mind at all. In fact, he would always be engaged and available via email if we desperately needed help and couldn't foot the private tuition bill (a little too pricey ;) ) Blueprint could definitely pick a better place in Palo Alto than Menlo College during a hot Bay Area summer, but thats all unrelated to how far this course has gotten me in the LSAT. Fingers crossed for Oct 20th. I would recommend this course to ANYONE trying to study for the LSAT. They actually make it...fun. Yeah, hard to believe, but it is actually an enjoyable process with the Blueprint team. read more

Outstanding course. Improved my score enough to give me a shot at top-ten law schools. Doesn't just teach how to score higher either -- the skills you learn in this class will actually help you succeed when you get to law school as well. I can understand that some people might wonder if the improvement you'll get is worth the investment. The answer is unquestionably yes. I compared Blueprint's prices and classes with those from every other LSAT prep in town. Not only were they less expensive than the others, their program was more thorough. They're one of a very small number of LSAT-only companies, which means you're they're only focus. Also, the improvement you'll see will land you in a much sweeter law school, which of course, means better opportunities and bigger checks down the line if you want them. They will teach you all the tools to attack any problem, even if you haven't ever seen it before, and come out on top. I felt sorry for everyone I took the LSAT with who didn't have the Blueprint experience to back them up. read more

Blueprint was awesome. I had done a little bit of LSAT prep on my own before taking the course (PowerScore bibles) and felt that I could really benefit from a live course. Aaron was an incredible instructor and really helped make the LSAT easier and fun (if that's possible). The pace is quick, and there is a ton of work in addition to the in class instruction, but I wouldn't have been able to motivate myself to study the way I did without the course. Highly, highly recommended. Blueprint rocks. read more

Mike Moss was a great teacher. Not only was he an LSAT expert, he kept the class entertaining and constantly showed that he actually cared about all the students doing well. He'd also always bring snacks, water, and a few times, he even brought pizza! read more

Blueprint really put my LSAT studying on track after a dreary, fruitless month of self-study. I was incredibly happy with the quality and quantity of the preparation material; I could actually feel myself adapting and understanding question and question, concept after concept. But the best part of the class was definitely my instructor, Aaron. Aaron is a genius in two ways: first, the LSAT is his bitch. There's no other way to put it. He can explain every question, every answer, and every game clearly and succinctly, yet on an abstract level that allows you to learn and match his thought process. Second, Aaron is a genius of the performing arts. He takes 4-hour LSAT classes, which /should/ have been some of the most depressing, mentally torturous predicaments known to the modern world, and transforms it into a unique, long-form improvisation routine that proceeds to poke fun at the curious and often outrageous propositions posed by LSAC and their demonic exam. Aaron is so overwhelmingly good at his job that, when I had to skip a class for vacation, I was worried I would never receive proper instruction for that lesson. But lo and behold, Blueprint has all the lectures online, done by some dude that appears to stare into your soul while you watch. (All that means is you'll be too scared to look away.) Anyway, the recorded lectures are similarly entertaining, and I had zero issues getting caught up and back on track for the next class. This class is not without work, however. Aaron isn't going to take the LSAT for you. Your results will vary in direct proportion with your (home)work ethic. I made the decision to do all the work up front, and I was dutifully rewarded with a mind blowing increase from my original 148, all the way to the mid 170's. By the end of the class, I was able to tackle virtually any question on a very fundamental level. The LSAT may well become my bitch one day, too. Thanks, Blueprint! read more

Overall I was very happy with Blueprint. I started Blueprint with no real strategies on how to go about studying for the LSAT but Blueprint's class really gave me a foundation to work with. So far, I have been very happy with my increase in score. And, I am confident that I will be able to increase my score even more with self study now that my class is over, especially now that I know the Blueprint approach. My instructor, Mike Moss, was very helpful in explaining every part of the LSAT. I also felt as though he went the extra mile and helped students as much as possible, from answering about his own personal experiences on the LSAT to just being very approachable both in class and by email. His sense of humor and personal antidotes were much appreciated and helped maintain an alertness in his students that I think many night classes have a hard time doing no matter how interesting the subject. read more

I took the class in SF for the October LSAT. My instructor was Aaron Cohn--he was very helpful and genuinely cared about students' success. He always answered any questions I had very promptly. While the classes were four hours long, they never seemed to drag on because there was always humor involved and students were very friendly with one another. Also, the office seems to care a lot about students' success as well; they were always very encouraging and willing to answer/address any questions or concerns I had. I would highly recommend Blueprint to anyone thinking of taking a class!! read more

Mike Moss has been a wonderful instructor. He is smart, funny, witty and truly generous with his time. Great props to the staff of Blueprint who are very accommodating with questions and inquiries. While I am still in the process of honing in on the set of skills I obtained through this course, I can say without any hesitation that Blueprint makes a whole lot of difference for prelaw students. I cannot truly imagine how I would've tackled this path without the material and instruction. read more

I had the pleasure of taking Blueprint's course in Berkeley which is literally less than a block from the Downtown Berkeley Bart Station. I will try to summarize my experiences with you: Instructor: Brad Snyder was a very effective teacher. He has actually passed the bar and practiced law which isn't the case with all the instructors unfortunately. Brad was very good at managing the class, explaining concepts, answering questions, and especially good at injecting some humor in the class to break up the mental abuse that is the LSAT. Brad made himself available to us between classes via email and we were also provided with a Teachers Assistant's (located in LA..lol) email. My attempts at contacting Brad via email was not great however, one email was blown off completely and my other two emails were not responded to for over a week. Overall I would still rate Brad as an outstanding instructor. Classroom: The classroom sucks a little bit to be honest. The rows of seats are too close together making it impossible to get out with other students seated unless you're the closest to the aisle. There is no drinking water available so be sure to bring your own. Also the room is noisy at times and you will often hear the tenants next door through the walls. Students: I was very disappointed that there were always 3-5 students that would come in up to 15 minutes late and disrupt class almost without exception. This was especially maddening during practice exams. Curriculum: The course is outstanding. I made substantial gains in all 3 sections of the test. There are video explanations for every single Logic Game in the course!! And these videos are excellent!! There are even video explanations for many of the Logical Reasoning questions and the instructor comes in 15 minutes early to each class to answer questions from your homework. The strategies used in all three sections are very effective and organized. I had studied using books by Kaplan and Princeton Review prior to taking this course and was shocked by how much more I was able to learn from Blueprint. One criticism I would offer is that there was not enough time left at the end for review, we were still learning strategies up until a week before the test, also, there was no mention of LSAT test taking strategies that I had learned from Kaplan. Previewing sections and transferring answers in groups for instance were not taught. Practice Exams: We relied on substitute teachers to proctor (2) of our practice tests and the first time no one ever showed up and we all went home. The second time the proctor showed up and it took her 30 minutes to open the front door. Hopefully they can get this figured out. Support: One really cool thing about Blueprint is that they post daily on twitter and facebook. It may not seem important but there are a lot of useful tips, motivational messages, and inside LSAT geeky humor that really is nice to have. Overall I would recommend Blueprint to EVERYONE wishing to increase their LSAT score. I really do believe that Blueprint cares A LOT about the performance of ALL their students. read more

I had a great time in the Berkeley Blueprint course. My instructor, Phil, was knowledgeable, charismatic, and approachable. The method and the text books are extremely valuable, and I saw immediate results. If you want to take your score up a dozen points, for the best price in a convenient location, go with Blueprint. read more

I took a Berkeley Blueprint class with Mike Moss after researching a few different classes. Blueprint had a ton of positive reviews, and I got a discount through UC Berkeley EOP, which i wouldn't have been able to afford the class without. When I began the class, I had self-studied for a few months and taken three practice tests. I was learning concepts, but my practice tests were all within one point of each other. While I think that self study laid important groundwork for me, Blueprint really gave me an organized and comprehensive understanding of conditional logic, question types, logic games, and the nature of the test in general. Mike Moss was incredibly well-versed in the test and was able to clearly break down each concept as we went through it. He also always made himself available to answer specific questions and didn't mind staying after a few minutes to do so. I took the June test and felt very well-prepared. It's important to note that I did a large amount of practice and repetition outside of class, which is essential to improving your score. Blueprint helped me break everything down and learn details, but it was necessary for me to do all the homework AND use other test materials to buildup speed and accuracy. if you're down to do the work, I highly recommend taking a Blueprint course to reach your scoring potential. By my last few practice tests I was scoring 12-13 points higher than my first Blueprint practice test and above my goal range. read more

The long awaited day had finally come- LSAC sent out the October 2008 scores. I was scared to open it. I had prepared for 3 months with Kaplan Prep and thought I was ready, until I actually took the test. Granted, my results could have been game day jitters; nonetheless, my end result was less than stellar and I did not feel as ready as I should have been. The thought of taking the LSAT again was up there with desiring a swift kick in the jimmy. But after talking to a buddy in LA who took a Blueprint class (and got into UCLA with a 178) I found the motivation to stick it out. Blueprint provided me the tools necessary to overcome my fears. They approached the sections in a logical (no pun intended) manner with the mindset of teaching the underlying skills necessary to achieve success. Contrarily, their competitors approach the LSAT's by giving you timed sections over and over. Now this may be good for some but for me it was a bad fit. Blueprint began the course from the ground up beginning with formal logic and encouraging us to learn the fundamentals before worrying about time. Then we progressed into taking timed sections so game day was just another day. Anyways, Blueprint increased my score from the 50th percentile to the 75th percentile. Also, if you aren't familiar with the test material - IT IS AS BORING AS IT COMES! But our instructor actually made class pretty damn funny while covering a lot of material. I highly recommend Blueprint for anyone who is considering the LSAT"S. read more

Blueprint is awesome! Aaron's a great teacher who definitely keeps us engaged throughout the entire 4 hour class and teaches us a lot. I feel like my skills definitely improved with Blueprint. Would recommend taking it with Aaron--he also got a 180 himself and is a LSAT whiz. I'm glad I chose Blueprint and I had Aaron as my instructor! read more

I took a class with Blueprint in Summer 2009. The Blueprint Methods to attacking each of the three sections are unrivaled. The class itself is very informative, and you get a chance to participate and practice. Each class is laid out in a way that you don't get bored. I never found myself losing focus. And it was great to have the class in Berkeley because there was so much to do before class, after class, and during the breaks. The class had about 30-40 people, and you end up getting to know most of them. After class, we'd go get food or grab some drinks. This aspect made preparing for the LSAT all the more enjoyable. As for the price, Blueprint is one of the best options for its value out there, and offers 100 hours of instruction, a better offer than I've heard elsewhere. Finally, my score started in the low-150s. I ended up cranking out practice tests in the high 170s. Although I didn't test well, I retook the test in December, and will update this review once I get my score. I highly recommend Blueprint. It's been one of the best decisions I've made read more

Basically, if you want to attend a 4-hour comedy show twice a week, sign up for Blueprint. If, on the off chance, you are also seeking LSAT prep of the highest caliber, sign up for Blueprint. See where this is going? Blueprint made the LSAT enjoyable. They also raised my score. And if you are not raising your score, you are not enjoying studying for the LSAT. read more

Great place for LSAT prep. I would highly recommend Mike Moss. He was always clear and helpful with explaining questions.

I took Blueprint in Berkeley a couple of years ago and had a miserable experience. The owners were in trouble with the law and a state judge issued an injunction that shut down their online services for the last month of our class. NOT KIDDING!!!!! So we were unable to score our practice tests or view question explanations in the crucial weeks leading up to the October test. The owners refused to give us refunds and some students in our class were even consulting attorneys to bring a class action lawsuit against them. I also noticed that the reviews posted here are fishy as hell and it really makes me question the reliability of Yelp. All of the 14 reviews currently posted (8 are visible and 6 are "filtered") give Blueprint five stars and were all written either in December 2009 or early January 2010. So not a single person had ever reviewed Blueprint before and then all of a sudden 14 people write rave reviews in the span of a month?? Yeah, right!!! Can you say SUBVERSIVE MARKETING CAMPAIGN? I sure hope people aren't stupid enough to fall for this. read more

Blueprint is amazing. If you're looking to take the LSAT and get an amazing score, this is the place to take it. My instructor was great. He was funny, but also very serious about increasing our score. Blueprint's online resources are extremely helpful and are unparalleled by any other company. The schedule works really well for anyone who is in school or has a full-time job. The $$ is definitely worth it as it will get you into a better school and consequently (if you do well in law school) a higher paying job than you otherwise might have. CHOOSE BLUEPRINT! read more
