This is about the online zoom course... The platform is outdated and crashes too many times. Our whole class is texting that they can't get into Blueprint. This happens way too much. read more

This is a review for LIVE online course including my reviews for all instructors and Blue Print (BP) LSAT staffs. Before I signed up: Early in January this year, I emailed BP if they offered student discount. They did but you had to go to their on campus event, which I did. And I emailed them asking if I was eligible to receive discount. The team member Krysta replied me and asked my name so she could verify my name on their sign-in sheet. She couldn't find my name (don't know why but I did) so she rejected to give me a discount code. Didn't really feel she's helpful. One month later, when I almost wanted to sign up another prep course company, I received their email about promotion code for signing up their course. I used the code but there's a bug on my account and I couldn't see the course showed on the home page. The other team members, who were really friendly and responded to my question fast. During the prep course months, they are very open to my feedback. BTW, I personally really like the recorded online course as secondary study materials. They just need to have someone really proofread and double check the courses, small errors like bugs in the videos, typos, notes doesn't match the instructor's words, suggestions on improvement for the courses. For the live online course: you have access to two live courses, recorded courses, homework (with video explanations), and office hours, which are host by different instructors (I found my favorite instructors there! love their office hours) I don't feel there are much different than in person class. I can enjoy eating my dinner with my pajama while taking the class. I can come back and rewatch the live recorded courses if I have any questions on certain topics. The instructors I have Jelena Woehr as my instructor. She's nice. However, I found that her voice is tooooo sofffttt that almost makes me want to fall asleep every time I take her class. She doesn't have many notes from herself like other instructors (will talk about it later) I didn't really learn much from her, because mostly she goes over the book. Missed 3 or 4? out of 12 courses (replaced by Dylan, who I found is the best! ). For other instructors, my reviews for them are based on office hours mostly. I love office hours and I think it will be a great if BP can open some free office hours for people who want to sign up the course and find the instructor they like. Jelena's course time was the best that can work for my schedule when I signed up, and I had no clue which instructor is better for live online course. If I knew whose class I wanted to take, I would sign up for the instructor's courses that I was sure to take. - Instructor Dylan Gadek: 5 stars! he sub for Jelena 3 courses and I found that he has great knowledge of what he's teaching. Funny guy. his class is very structure. has lots of his own notes and methods. you clearly know what you expected to learn from each of his class. I am still taking ALL his office hours. He's been teaching LSAT for years, and he used to teach MCAT. I found that LR & RC are his strongest part of teaching. - Instructor Chris Whyte: 5 Stars. He and Dylan are the top 1 instructor at BP from my opinion. He's really good at LG and RC. really knows what he's talking about and well prepared for every office hours. - Instructor Kyle: hmmmm..... I took his office hours for digital LSAT 101 topic. I am not sure if he's not prepared or what, the whole video, he seemed like really don't know what happened. 90% of time he said: hmmm.. but.. yea..." and he said "I don't what I am talking about lol " I had to use 1.5 x SPEED to listen his whole video. In the video he seemed like he's just reading the scripts? not really well prepared for this office hours. If I watch this video before signing up the course, I would not choose him as my instructor because I really don't want to spend money on instructors who are not prepared for the course. OMG, I wrote too much.. I need to take a break. The class is almost over, but I will still do their monthly subscription, just for their office hours. I will come back and updates the rest of the other instructors and this live online course reveiw. If you read through here, would you mind give me a like so I know there IS/ARE person/people reading my review, and I will come back finishing it just for those people? read more

I took the Blueprint LSAT in-class prep course with Branden Frankel for the January 2019 LSAT which was worth the cost! I was able to increase my score by 10+ points by the end of the course thanks to Branden! The course does set you up to improve your LSAT score. However, you must bare in mind that it does require hard work on your end to succeed as there will be numerous weeks of having to go through three lessons a week. Each and every class you will go through the book page-by-page with breakdowns of the particular concepts being tested for each by Brandon and practice questions in each lesson. Brandon does an exceptional job explaining how to approach questions for each concept and why each answer choice is correct and/or wrong for each question the class goes over. Further, Branden wants to see you succeed and is very helpful so he encourages everyone in the class to ask questions if you are having trouble understanding a concept or question. If you are thinking about taking the Blueprint LSAT prep course, I would definitely recommend signing up with Branden as the instructor. read more

I took the Spring Downtown LA LSAT course with Branden Frankel and it was a great and truly helpful experience! On my diagnostic exam, I was able to get through all the Logical Reasoning questions. After the first couple weeks, I noticed I wasn't finishing all the Logical Reasoning questions, which was scary at first, but then I saw an increase in score! Even though I had become a little slower, I was becoming much more accurate in my answers. As for Branden, he was the perfect balance of fun, engaging and knowledgeable. A 4 hour class sounds intimidating, but Branden kept the class lively and interested. He's one of the most personable teachers I've had the pleasure of learning from! I saw about a 16 point increase after the 2 month course and am excited to take what I've learned and keep pushing for my ideal score! read more

I took the Spring 2018 Downtown LA course with Branden Frankel. I saw an exponential improvement in my scores as the course progressed. The Blueprint curriculum is rigorous, and if you commit to doing the work, you will be able to reach your goals. Branden is a knowledgable, funny, and approachable instructor. He was able to break down and explain concepts with ease. He also made sure to take his time when moving between concepts in class, to make sure that there were no more questions from any of the students. His occasional joking around helps to keep students comfortable, as well as alert and engaged during the 4 hour class. I cannot imagine my Blueprint experience without him. read more

First I would like to say the only reason I'm giving the course a 4 star is because I feel like it should run for three and a half months and not two and a half! Other than that, the course was great and Branden Frankel was great as well. The class course is basically a crash course on the LSAT and you really REALLY need to dedicate your time to the course. Branden was very helpful in answering questions and just being available to talk about anything. He even offered to come in extra early on a Saturday before a practice exam when he saw that our class wasn't doing so well. The class is definitely worth it If you are willing to put the time and effort. DO NOT TAKE IT LIGHTLY! Specially, if you are a person that has never really looked at the LSAT before or studied the material. Anyways, Branden really made the class a good time and he's very knowledgeable about the LSAT. read more

I'm giving Blueprint 5-stars. This is because Blueprint "will" give you all of the tools necessary to improve your LSAT score and it's in an easy to understand format. Honestly though, the hard part is that it's up to you practice and dig deep into all of their resources. The blueprint program gave me books, lessons, in class sessions, practice tests, and then EXTRA practice tests, thousands of practice problems, and now they even offer online office hours (which works GREAT if you work full time and have limited access to classroom sessions). On top of that, their customer service is 5-stars! They always get back to you, they're very resourceful, and they'll even let you vent during those stressful days. I've had nothing but positive experiences with their customer service. They've helped me navigate my way through what options I had with the program, accessing certain resources on their website platform, and also with payment services. My one biggest suggestion (and a personal regret) is to join the Blueprint class/program a little earlier, or at least don't choose a class/program that ends the week of the LSAT exam. I found that my score improved the most after I had more time to "implement" all of the LSAT strategies that blueprint taught me. At the time my blueprint course was ending (the same week of my LSAT exam) I was scoring around 145 on my practice exams. Now two months later, I feel way more confident to take the LSAT in November because my average practice exam score is 155-160. read more

Blueprint is a lifesaver. Branden Frankel was my instructor and he is honestly the best. He is really patient and genuinely cares about his students. He always answered question, even if they were dumb questions. Branden made sure we were understanding the material. Plus, the online homework and videos really helped. Whenever you did not understand something, there were videos for you to watch or just ask Branden. The homework is there to enhance your knowledge and help you practice the methods the instructor teaches. If you're looking to go to law school and need help with studying for the LSAT, take Blueprint. Enroll with Branden. He is awesome and will help you get the score you want! read more

I did Blueprint twice. I took the class and then the following year I just did the online course. here is the thing with ANY LSAT prep. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. Do not go to class and expect the instructor to instill the skills in you. Thats your job and your score will improve based on how much time and effort you put into it. With that said here is my experience. I like and dislike Blueprints model. I like that they tell you to eliminate but they also do not really teach you how to manage your time. So I feel like the class really lacked on getting the students to get better on timing and timing is 50% of the test. They also did not provide tips for studying. A few of my friends that were in law school suggested to time the practice tests from 35 minutes a section to 30 and that made a drastic improvement on my score and on test day, I finished each section with three minutes to go back and correct some errors. I discovered that combining another method by another textbook with the Blueprint method was the most productive. I basically spotted the error and the eliminated all the incorrect answer choices. I think the online course is a rip off honestly. $250 is a tad too expensive when seven stage can basically provide more in-depth tutorials for a fraction of the price but with all the money you are going to hash out on law school, it really does not matter. My instructor was not horrible but he was not amazing. I had Gerry and he was so full of himself. Im sorry to say that but he made you feel so dumb when you did not understand the why the answer was the correct answer. He was not helpful at all in helping you figure out your mistakes or spotting which errors you keep making. He would rush through the lessons and then brag how he keeps getting 179 on the practice tests. You would think as an LSAT instructor that would be second nature to him and he would not need to parade himself around. The one thing that Blueprint has over all the other companies (Kaplan, LSAT Tutor, Seven Sage, and the Bibles) is that the books are highly organized and well written. They provide charts to help you remember what to do for each question type. I would suggest to find a method of studying that works well for you and that may or may not be Blueprint. I found that combining the different methods from different companies and just drilling sections worked for me. Long story short, I got the score I needed and I ended up at my top choice (USC). read more

A scam and a ripoff. Changed the class schedule with two weeks notice to a WEEK EARLIER, completely changing multiple dates for the next two months. Website would not work, LSAT test prep materials got shipped to the wrong location, and unhelpful people on the phone suggesting I go online (to their broken website) for questions. read more

I took the Spring 2018 Downtown LA session with Branden Frankel at Southwestern Law School. Branden is an amazing instructor with a wealth of LSAT knowledge. He kept the class entertained and interested with his sense of humor and Blueprint strategies. Branden really cares about his students and goes above and beyond to make certain you understand the curriculum. I highly recommend this course and instructor. Thank you Branden and Blueprint!!!! read more

I took the Spring Downtown at Southwestern with Branden Frankel. Although the curriculum is not easy, having instructor Branden made everything so much easier. Not only does he make the material engaging, but he genuinely cares for the success of all of his students. He is very knowledgeable makes sure he answers all of your questions, and if necessary even goes as far as making time before or after class to address any struggles you might be having with the class. I would highly recommend Blueprint to anyone taking the LSAT and wanting to improve their scores. It's not an easy curriculum, but i believe it's definitely worth it. read more

Just took the LSAT this past January, and I highly recommend Blueprint (no matter your previous study level or comfort with the exam). Branden Frankel was an incredible teacher! He really knew how to explain things in a meaningful way and was incredibly patient. Highly highly recommend. read more

I took the Spring Downtown LA course at Southwestern Law School with Branden Frankel and couldn't be happier. Definitely saw increase in my score, gained better understanding of the tactics and techniques on how to approach the questions. Branden was great! He managed to present all the complexity and ambiguity of the LSAT with simple, true to life examples and outstanding sense of humor. I admired his knowledge of the subject matter and overall intelligence. And of course, I cannot not to mention the Blueprint team who was very helpful and responsive throughout the course. Keep up the good work Blueprint! read more

I took the September 2019 prep course with Dane Underwood at Southwestern. I thought that the course gave a really comprehensive overview of the material that is tested on the exam. Dane is a knowledgable and experienced LSAT instructor as well. He cares about how his students are doing, and I appreciated the time that he gave us during break and after class ended to answer any specific questions that we had. Especially with the now digitalized version of the LSAT, I think the online BluePrint platform is an excellent tool to practice what it is like doing the different sections on a screen. I took the September LSAT, and the experience was well replicated by BluePrint's version. The only thing that puzzled me was that when I tried to use my tablet to access BluePrint's online practice exams, it didn't load or work. So, I ended up practicing with the computer, which still did the job. All in all, I recommend this course to others. read more

I loved this course (Blueprint @Southwestern Law). My instructor, Branden Frankel, was not only very knowledgeable, but he also did an amazing job helping me target and attack my weaknesses. The class was taught in a way that helped presented the often dry, and difficult LSAT material, in a manner that was enjoyable, easy, and comical. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their LSAT Score. read more

I took the Blueprint class this fall and the LSAT in November 2018. Our instructor, Branden Frankel, (or Mr. B as he likes to be called) was able to confidently and patiently articulate his obvious grasp of the test material. He even took the time to do a diagnostic write up for us based on our practice tests 2 weeks before the actual test. This course is expensive, much more so than many other classes, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and Blueprint and Mr. B delivered. read more

I took the Downtown Spring Blueprint course at Southwestern Law School and absolutely loved it! Professor Branden Frankel was able to simplify the course material in order for us to better understand it. The four hour class went by so fast. He made it interesting and kept us alert. He cares about his students and makes sure that everyone understands the material being taught. Professor Frankel is the example of what a professor should be. I am recommending him to all of my friends that are currently studying for the LSAT. read more

I took the Spring Downtown LA course with Branden and absolutely loved it! He was extremely helpful in laying the framework for LSAT while engaging his students. Whether you're looking to boost your score a little more towards the end of your studies or looking to lay the foundation for your LSAT journey I think Blueprint with Branden will be an excellent choice! read more

I've never taken an LSAT before my attempt in June 2018. I took the BluePrint Spring 2018, and learned their methods of approaching each question type and games. Our instructor, Branden Frankel, made everything so comprehensible, and everything came second nature come test day. He's a very knowledgeable person, and he's also a lawyer that went through the process so he knows what's up! If you have the opportunity to take BluePrint prep course, do it! Make sure to pick a course that's taught by Branden! read more

I'm usually the type that tries to figure stuff out on my on and thought I can prepare for the LSAT without any prior knowledge. However, many friends recommended I take a prep course, so after searching around online, I decided to go with Blueprint mostly for its location (Southwestern Law School). My reasoning was, "eh, they're all probably the same. I'll sign up for whatever is closest to my house". But I'm glad I signed up with Blueprint. My instructor was Branden Frankel. He was a great instructor. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable of the material, he was friendly and very approachable, and always willing to go out of his way to help you with anything from specific questions to general concerns. He shows genuine concern and care for each of his student's progress and wants us to do well. Whatever prep course you choose, or whichever instructor you choose, I'm sure you will benefit from it. However, if I were to take this course again (hopefully not...heck, hopefully won't even have to retake the test for that matter), I would not hesitate to re-enroll in Branden's class. He's an awesome instructor and an awesome dude. So if you are preparing for the LSAT and deciding which program and instructor to choose, I highly recommend Branden Frankel at Blueprint. Happy studying. Deuces read more

Just finished taking this class this past November to January season at Southwestern Law School. Had a great experience. I definitely learned a lot and gave me great direction into taking the LSAT. I did not have much luck with my first tutor from another LSAT prep company and I highly recommend taking this course if you are interested in taking the test. I have taken the test twice and still felt lost but this class helped a lot. I had a great teacher, Branden Frankel, the class itself was intense, but he did his best to keep us engaged and made sure we weren't lost. He made it easy to understand concepts that I thought I would never understand, for me understanding the LSAT was like learning a new language, and he broke concepts down for me that I struggled with. He was also helpful after class if we had more questions and was also very responsive outside of class via email, if we were stuck on homework or workshops. Branden is a great instructor who was easy to understand and made concepts relatable, his analogies are funny too so it breaks up the monotony of a daunting class/test. He was also a great motivator and made you want to do your best, especially when the nervousness kicks in! The online part of the course is very helpful and has tons of new questions to help you prepare. Best decision I made to take the class! read more

I'm so glad I took the Spring Downtown LA Blueprint course instead of another lsat course. I was able to study where I took the actual test and had access to the facilities throughout the entire course. Also the teacher (Brendan Frankel) made everything way less boring and was always open to questions. He tried to engage the class as much as possible which totally worked for me because my score went up by 10+ points. You will become a blueprint method believer if you just pay attention to the class and actually keep up with the homework. read more

I was in Scott's course and am so thankful! He is a great teacher and really did an incredible job of making sometimes not-so-interesting material very engaging. The Blueprint materials are also, themselves, very helpful. I scored in the 97th percentile on the LSAT and it is in no small part because I chose to take this course. read more

I had the honor and privilege in taking the in class person Blueprint Course with Zach Pelchat at Southwestern School of Law (Los Angeles). Zach is an incredible instructor and has truly shown that he cares for each and everyone of his students. He goes beyond what he is required to do and makes himself available at all times via email, text, or call. He makes learning really exciting and fun to learn. I wouldn't be where I am today without him, scoring well above average on the LSAT. He is definitely one of Blueprints Finest and is truly an asset to the company. He does a great job in conveying the material in class to where everyone can understand and grasp the material. He makes it very clear that everyone can and should participate in class and that it is a judge free zone. I think that was very important to me. Being able to participate in class and ask questions about something you don't understand is paramount when learning the LSAT. If I were to do it all over again or recommend someone it would be Zach Pelchat. His tricks to the trade are like any other. I've also had the privilege of taking the same course with another instructor and that transition is what truly made me realize how different Zach is compared to other instructors. He goes above and beyond and his character as an individual is what makes him outstanding. Hands down 15/10. I've realized that a lot of reviews had said that its all up to you and only you to do well on the LSAT. I disagree. Having resources like Zach at any moment is paramount in succeeding and with his reassurance and guidance I was able to feel more confident and never alone in this endeavor. At the end of the day, its about how much effort you put into studying and how efficiently and effectively you utilize the resources that are available to you. Side note: My diagnostic was a 141. and I'm currently scoring 165 and above. Anything is possible. read more

I took the Winter Course at Southwestern with Branden Frankel . It was absolutely excellent. I've used a couple other prep course's material, and Blueprint is the best. Frankel is a fantastic teacher as well. I could not recommend him more highly. read more

I took the Fall Downtown LA course with Branden Frankel. I was skeptical of these "LSAT courses" but quickly learned how valuable a course could be because of him. While the Blueprint course itself is excellent, Branden is outstanding: he provides specific methods and approaches in addition to the standard course material that are very valuable. In particular I remember tips he gave on approaching Logic Games and on Logical Reasoning that made instant improvements to my scores. If you're going to take a course, go with Branden and Blueprint. read more

I took the course in Spring 2018 with Brandel Frankel in Downtown LA. I absolutely loved the course. From the first day until the last Practice Exam I had a 20 point increase! I could not believe the progress I made. The work was definitely time consuming but very worth it. What seemed impossible to comprehend in the beginning all began to slowly come together. As much as I would doubt myself, I began to trust the process and I realized that if you put in the work, you will definitely see results. Along with the curriculum, Branden's teaching strategies perfected the course and helped me prepare for the exam to full extent. Definitely would recommend! read more

I took the downtown blueprint course with Branden Frankel and it was excellent. I was actually entertained and most importantly I really learned skills to tackle the questions head on. Highly, highly recommend Branden. read more

Took Downtown LA course with Branden Frankel and loved the Blueprint course. Although it is a rigorous course, keeping up with the homework is manageable. Branden made the course much easier to understand he is very knowledgeable and really appreciated the patience he has. I had such a wonderful experience would definitely recommend taking the course. read more

These people are a joke, they have this crazy policy that they will charge you whether you cancel or not, whether your use it or not! Stay away from this place! Plus the course is horrible. read more

Blueprint is an innovative, thorough that gives you the skills you need to do well on the LSAT. I highly recommend taking the course.

I chose the personal tutoring service and was paired up with Jack Salisbury. With his guidance and preparation techniques, I saw my score jump 10 points the second time I took the LSAT. I definitely recommend his services as he's an incredible resource to have. read more

This is an excellent course. I took the Spring 2018 DTLA course with Branden Frankel who was incredible. I signed up for the LSAT randomly and within a few months, went up a total of 14 points which I completely attribute to Branden and Blueprint. You won't be disappointed with this course. Unlike other LSAT prep courses, the instructors are funny, the content can be humorous at times and the online portion of Blueprint is unrivaled. read more

I took the Spring Downtown LA course at Southwestern Law School with Branden Frankel and had an excellent experience. Not only did he learn the name of every student within the first couple classes, he did the impossible and somehow made LSAT prep enjoyable- using funny examples and keeping the class engaged for each four-hour session. He was great at checking in to ensure the entire class understood the content and followed up with students personally if they seemed to be behind on a particular topic. The online materials were also great although the app is nearly unusable because of all the bugs. Overall I would recommend this course to students who need to be held accountable while they study- the structure and length is perfect and I feel much better equipped to tackle the LSAT. read more

I took the Spring course @ Southwestern Law School w/ Branden Frankel. He knows how to actually teach - he's engaged the entire 4 hours and knows how to address all types of questions about the Lsat material, LSAT history/reality, study strategies etc. Also, he was an actual lawyer for a little bit and knew how to make law school themed lsat examples. Commit to the homework and get a class study group and the blueprint method really works. read more

I had a hard time grasping the LSAT and Scott Reding did the trick. He was very detailed and patient in his explanations. He truly is a great instructor- helps that he is also funny yet calm. read more

I took the June 2017 LSAT prep course with Spencer Robins. Spencer taught the course tremendously well. He teaches with great enthusiasm, and truly cares for his students. I would recommend anyone deciding to take a blueprint lsat prep course to take it with Spencer, you won't regret it. read more
