Branden is the BEST instructor at Blueprint. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are prepared for the test. For example, I had a tough time with a few different concepts. Not only did he email me back and forth with detailed explanations but he also met me before class to go over the difficult topics. Moreover Blueprint's online interface is GREAT and super user-friendly. One thing I would say is it seems like you get as much as you put in. If you put in hard work, you will reap the rewards. read more

I took the class and did not know what I was getting myself into, especially after the first practice exam to establish a baseline score. After scoring the exam I knew I needed a lot of work to get even a decent score. However, over the next three or so months Branden Frankel was able to break down a lot of the concepts for me and I was able to improve my score by 18 points by the end of the program. He was very entertaining and funny and very knowledgeable about the material. He provided help even before the class began and was willing to stay after as well to help out with any problems. Overall I had a great experience and would recommend this prep class, especially with Branden. read more

Taking this course has been one of the smartest decisions I've made all summer! If you are not a self-disciplined person you NEED to take this course. Branden Frankel, our blueprint instructor was very helpful. He was always on time and NEVER let us out early (which as much as I hated I appreciated because I am paying for the course). He was helpful when I had personal LSAT questions. But most importantly he is honest, funny, and makes a long semi-boring class a lot less painful. He made a lot of the material relatable and enjoyable. He would make sure students understood the material and did a good job at explaining. The course itself is very helpful, I don't have much else to compare it too but I am very satisfied since my score is going up 20+ points. They have an abundance of resources online, just make sure to put in the time. Def. take the course that starts the earliest that way you will have more time, and don't fall behind on the h.w. Worth the investment!! read more

I'd be lying if I said that I didn't hesitate signing up for the class when I saw how much it would cost me. However, by the end of the course, I didn't have an ounce of regret and was really glad that I decided to take this Blueprint course. Having Branden as the instructor is what made the tedious material doable and the class as a whole enjoyable. He teaches students in a highly engaging manner and does a great job at being entertaining and educational at the same time. I had previously taken an extension LSAT prep course through my university and I can confidently say that Branden's class was a thousand times better. I actually looked forward to showing up to each session and really felt like I was learning each step of the way. read more

If you are set on taking the LSAT and looking for extra help that is worth the painful financial investment Blueprint is the course for you. It is an individualized program-online portal and in class teaching that gets you where you want to be in terms of your final LSAT score. Of course you have to do your part but they give you the tools to succeed. A program wouldn't be solid though without its top notch instructors one of them being, Brandon Frankel. You definitely want to take the course with him. He knows very well the beast that is the LSAT. He emphasizes which areas of each section LR, LG and RC to look out for, memorizing those flaw types and how to tackle appropriately sufficient and necessary questions.They are a doozy! read more

With the help of my instructor, Branden Frankel, I felt completely prepared for the LSAT after having no prior knowledge of the test before the course. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone understood the material and surpassed my expectations, while making night and weekend classes bearable. If you have the opportunity to take Blueprint, I highly recommend taking this course. Class was fun and enriching and the online tools were extremely helpful. Blueprint not only prepares you for scoring to the best of your ability on the test, but also teaches you how, when, and all the options one has to take the LSAT. If you attend all the classes and put in the effort to do the homework and practice tests, you will see improvement and it will be worth the cost. read more

Prior to the Blueprint LSAT course I had not studied whatsoever for the LSAT. The course was extremely beneficial for me, I have improved drastically since my diagnostic exam. Branden Frankel, my instructor, did a great job of breaking down the material that was so dense and difficult to understand. He really cares about his students and encouraged us to ask questions and stay after class to explain certain questions. It was a worthwhile investment, I would definitely recommend this course. read more

My experience with BluePrint was great. They have very useful methods that with practice can be mastered. The classes were very well structured and Branden is one of the best instructors I have had in any academic setting. He does an amazing job at explaining every question type and strategy that proved to be very useful when I took the LSAT. I was able to see myself improve in certain areas throughout the course and never felt scared to ask Branden a question. He is inviting, knowledgable and friendly. I would recommend Blueprint to any of my friends looking to take an LSAT class and I would highly recommend they take it with Branden as the instructor. read more

Branden Frankel was the best LSAT prep teacher ever. He was really funny and really motivated me to do my best.

I did my fair share of prep course searching before choosing Blueprint. The fact that they only service LSAT lives up to its expectation. They really structured the course and the online material to be learner friendly; I felt like they paid attention to even small details in how to engage the student. That said, who your instructor is plays a huge part in learning. Branden Frankel was the perfect mix of fun and serious. Coming to class for four hours at night after work, you need an instructor who understands how to make these concepts graspable for you. He knew how to keep us on track but was able to stop and answer each student's questions and interpretations. I highly encourage you take this course from him. read more

I took the CSUN session over the summer, and I am so grateful that I did. Branden Frankel is such a great instructor and made the dense LSAT material more digestible. I really appreciated his investment in the class and how much he cared about how well we all understood the material. read more

I was recommended Blueprint by a friend who took the LSAT prep course a few months prior to me. The course was challenging at first, having so much information to process and understand, but luckily my instructor was Branden F. and his teaching method was one of the best I have come across. He teaches the class in a very practical and fun way so that those hard to grasp concepts become broken down and easy to understand. The student is his first priority, he is quick to respond to emails and goes above and beyond to help his students reach their maximum capabilities. My professors could learn a thing or two from him. I improved my LSAT score by over 11 points so I highly recommend you take this course with Branden. read more

Like many others I was also recommended to try this program by a few friends. I'm glad I took their advice. My teacher was Branden Frankel, who also taught my friend. I took the classroom course in April and continued with the online course after in preparation of this coming September exam. Branden's class was nothing short of awesome, incredibly helpful and very informative. Amiable, approachable, kind, accommodating, patient and caring. He is attentive of his students and their needs as a whole and individually. He uses many methods to explain the challenging information. Visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners, have no fear. He demonstrates the questions, solutions and study tools- draws them out, explains them and makes you practice and work through them. Whatever it takes to get you to understand, he will do. He's also hilarious. So the class never felt boring. I had fun, laughed a ton, enjoyed myself and learned not just about the test, but also about law jobs, schools, scores, applications, practices, and even about myself as a person and student. He's a very effective and efficient teacher. Branden definitely went above and beyond for his students. He always made sure to stay after class to answer questions and help out. He'd also come early to class which offered even more time to get extra help. Endless respect and appreciation for him. Course: The course really helped me understand the nature of the exam, which helped me reach the right mindset in order to face the test with a cool head and a calm heart. It helped me understand how to tackle the test strategically. By thoroughly explaining the types of questions, how to work through them, how to approach each individual section, and helping me pin point my strengths and weaknesses. With Branden's guidance, I was able to use all that info and play my strengths to my advantage and improvement. This allowed me to work through my sore spots and improve them with more time and less stress. Long story short. Blueprint definitely provides the tools necessary to better understand the exam and efficiently complete it to the best of our abilities. But how you perform is entirely on you. So voila. I highly recommend the classroom course. I recommend taking some extra time using the online course too following completion of the class. Be patient and honest with yourself. Don't give up. Have a little faith. You'll do great. 8 days until my test day! I feel calm, collected and so much less stressed. I feel prepared and maybe even a little confident. While I'm hoping luck will be on my side, I know that I'm ready and I don't actually need it. I've got this. Ps: suggestion for blueprint. The mobile apps need a little TLC. Had issues highlighting when practicing. Would be cool if the stimuli was on a page formatted as an open image file. One we can work on. A tool bar on the side maybe. So that we can highlight while reading, but also have options for a pen, circle and underline tool. That would allow us the option to underline, scribble or write in and around the stimulus with our fingers or accessories like stylus pens when using our phones or tablets- much like how we would when actually taking the exam. read more

My friend (who took this prep class just last year) recommended Blueprint's LSAT prep course. I ended up taking it at CSUN (summer course) and was a tad skeptical because I have always been a HORRENDOUS test-taker. However, Branden Frankel instilled so much confidence in his students from day one I knew I would benefit from this class. Branden made the class entertaining (as fun as a 4 hour LSAT preparation class can be). He has an amazing sense of humor and knows how to keep the class engaged. Branden uses his class time effectively, making sure every student is determined to conquer the sections they aren't the best at. I started off HATING logic games, and now I kill those things. My score increased 16 points, so if you're even debating taking a blueprint class, don't. Take it with Branden, you won't be sorry. read more

I started this course having not seen a single LSAT question. The course broke down everything and was very easy to follow. The online resources are amazing and they provide more practice than anyone will actually be able to complete. Branden Frankel was a fantastic instructor. His teaching method is what really helped me during the course. He kept us engaged in the material and made sure everyone understood the concept before moving forward. He created a fun and exciting setting for the course. He is the best LSAT instructor!! I highly recommend taking his Blueprint course. read more

Blueprint's materials were understandable and easy to follow. I would recommend that ALL online materials be printable as not all of it is. Not everyone enjoys staring at a screen for hours. Branden was my instructor and he had patience even with the dumbest questions. He made sure we were grasping the content. He made appropriately inappropriate comments to keep us laughing and engaged, it worked. If Branden is your instructor, you will understand the concepts! I enjoyed the course as much as anyone studying the LSAT could. read more

I highly recommend Blueprint as an LSAT test prep company. The BP methods work, the instructors are not only knowledgeable but make class fun and engaging, the online resources are great, and the service from the classroom manager and BP office is wonderful. During my course, I had a 17 point score increase. Blueprint gives you the tools to do well and it is up to you to put in the dedication to studying and practice. Yes, the LSAT can be scary and overwhelming, but after taking a course with Blueprint you will feel prepared and confident on test day. My support for the BP Company and methods is why I am also a proctor for them. The course is definitely worth the investment and if you apply the methods and practice, you will definitely see a score increase. read more

Of the different LSAT prep books/companies I have used, Blueprint was by far the best. The online and in-class courses are very engaging and fun. Branden Frankel was a great instructor and made the lectures funny and interesting. He is very knowledgeable about the LSAT. I loved the online portion of the course! The homework and drills use funny examples and are very user-friendly. I also really liked the Law School Compass and Clinicals. I found these to be very useful tools. Reading Comprehension was my hardest section, but after using the Blueprint method I saw major improvements in my performance. Overall I highly recommend the in-class course for BluePrint. It is definitely an investment in time and money but it is worth it! read more

Branden was my instructor during my review for June LSAT. Being a foreign student I was at first reluctant and worried if I'll be able to understand the lesson (im not an english native speaker) but Branden was very helpful, he explains the concept really well. He is also approachable and honest whenever you need his advice. read more

I HIGHLY recommend this course for anyone who is serious about taking the LSAT and going to Law School. I increased my score by 9 points which should allow me to get into the university of my choice. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE IT WITH BRANDON! He genuinely cares about all of his students and goes the extra mile to make sure we understand the material. He also makes it fun so you never dread coming to class. I promise if you show up and put in the work, you will approach the LSAT with more confidence than you can imagine. Thanks again Brandon and to the Blueprint staff! read more

Easily the best LSAT prep out there. I would recommend and have recommended this course to two of my friends already and they are now currently enrolled. The Blueprint method is effective and their website is incredibly useful and user friendly with countless hours of practice and reference material. But perhaps the greatest aspect of Blueprint at least for me was my instructor Branden Frankel. He is an amazing teacher who actually takes an interest in his students. He was very knowledgeable, was not arrogant at all, added humor every now and then which is very much needed when studying for the LSAT, and made sure you understood a concept. He never lost his patience and was always very friendly to every student. He is very engaging and to be honest the four hours in class flies by. Highly recommend Blueprint to anyone looking to study for the LSAT. read more

Studying for the LSAT is no small task. Your score reflects not only your previous knowledge, but also your preparation and understanding of key concepts. It's all about learning how to think in a certain way, and Blueprint gives you clear steps all the way through. The instructor for this class, Branden, was phenomenal. He is very personable and really wants to help his students improve. He kept us engaged by making tedious questions and difficult concepts more relatable through his hilarious examples. I recommend taking his class. If you put in the time, your score will definitely go up. The class gives you structure and fills in the gaps much faster than self-study. It makes the whole process much easier and way more fun! read more

Like any student trying to find the right course to take, I was really happy to have gone with Blueprint. I surprisingly found the online course to be fun and the classroom lessons went by quick--especially since they were in the evening. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable about the material and very funny when teaching. He was cool and really put an effort into making sure everyone knew what was going on. The online course really helped as well bc if I had any questions that needed to be answered right away, I'd just go online and watch the corresponding video. Quick, easy, and straight to the point so I definitely recommend Blueprint. read more

You need to make sure you take the class with Branden. He absolutely took care of everyone as a class and gave appropriate individual attention. Blueprint was great for me. Happily waiting for me good score!! read more

I genuinely hate being in a classroom for a long period of time, but Branden was such a great instructor that it went by so fast and was very captivating. Getting distracted easily for me makes it harder to learn the material, but his jokes and excitement helped me really understand it while at the same time not getting bored or disinterested. He's a wonderful instructor and so was the Blueprint material. I recommend this test company because it helped me work on all my weaknesses very well, as well as their enthusiastic and respectful instructor Branden. read more

So I was actually going to wait until the end of my course to write a review but I just couldn't help myself. I am currently taking the CSUN Summer 2 Course - 112 hours of instruction, 16 comprehensive lessons, 6 proctored practice exams and evaluations, 3 interactive workshops at the end of each book for review, and 3 end-of-the-course clinics to help you get those last few, precious points. I could not be any more content with my decision to take Blueprint. I also really love the location- traffic is a lot easier going to Northridge than UCLA. Going into the course I was lost. My study habits were pretty much non-existent. Time management? What's that? Blueprint has given me all this. I absolutely love the lesson plans, love the way they introduce the methods, and love the way the classes are executed. I actually understand concepts that I WOULD NEVER figure out by myself. A lot of people had told me just to practice for the LSAT on my own- I AM SO PLEASED I DID NOT LISTEN TO THEM. This prep course helps- and I'm only on lesson nine. My instructor Branden Frankel is just amazing. I can't imagine anyone else teaching me this subject matter. This is what I love about Blueprint- their employees. Branden is so good at what he does, he literally is an LSAT ninja. He breaks down the questions and concepts down to the nitty gritty until every single person in the class understands the answer. He is absolutely one of the funniest people I have ever met. He makes our dreadful 4 hour classes bearable. I never knew LSAT prep could be so much fun. I can't remember the last time I laughed and had a pleasant time in a class setting. Branden is exceptional, I totally recommend taking a class with him. Plus, he did score a 173!!! I wish I could take him to law school with me. He also went to UCSB for his undergrad, so maybe I'm just biased ;) Blueprint's service has so far been superb. I missed a couple of classes and was given the online course for free. These videos have been very helpful- feels like I never missed class haha. Shannon Wessel who is our Classroom Manager is prompt on answering questions/emails. She is also always emailing us about LSAT tips, test centers, and the latest news. What really prompted me to write this review was this weeks dilemma. Our room at CSUN was changed because school had started and our room was no longer available. CSUN placed us in a no air-conditioning room, which pretty much was hell. Branden did his best to teach, but we were all pretty much gasping for air after 4 hours. I meant to email Shannon to tell her about my complaint, hoping she could somehow contact CSUN and let them know about our situation. Before I could contact her the next day, I received an email from Shannon informing us that she had found a new room for us at a nearby hotel for the remainder of our limbo period (until CSUN could accommodate us with a better room). It didn't even take 24 hours for them to arrange this new room. I was SOOOOOOOO impressed with the way they handled the situation. Thank you to Shannon and thank you to Blueprint- your accommodations were perfect. Anyways, I will update my review when I finish the course, and hopefully score a perfect 180- yeah right lol. If you are reading this review because you are debating Blueprint- do yourself a favor and do it. SO WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY. Plus, Blueprint is a lot cheaper than Kaplan. I am beyond satisfied with my decision. Actually looking forward to the rest of the lessons. Happy LSAT studying everyone :) read more

I took the CSUN Blueprint LSAT Prep course for the Spring LSAT with Branden. It was hands down worth every penny!! I had previously put a deposit on a Kaplan LSAT course but after attending one of Blueprint's seminars I was sold and withdrew my deposit from Kaplan (Best Decision ever) The LSAT and Law School are huge investments, essentially you are going to spend the money anyway so at least get what you pay for. Law School = on average around $120,000; The Application Process including registering for the LSAT can cost you over $1,000. It would be silly to try and skip on taking a prep course unless you are a genius. A better score on the LSAT in general correlates with higher pay after law school and if you think about it like that it makes no sense not to take the course and doing otherwise or not thinking about it that way would imply that you won't be a very good lawyer. Blueprint is competitively priced and heads above the rest of the other courses out there, when they tell you that you can walk into there class knowing nothing about the LSAT and walk out being a ninja they seriously mean it (an LSAT ninja that is). Furthermore, I managed nearly a 20 point increase from diagnostic to last practice test. Since the June test is Super Early for applications I ended up postponing it until september to see if I could break into the 170's (I'm Close). I am still using my Blueprint Books and reactivated my online account. Even after the class, Branden keeps in touch and answers questions I have. He seriously is an incredible instructor. His time management in class is impeccable, we always got through the material. He never failed to make us laugh as well as accommodate everyone without slowing the quicker students down. The bottom line is: if you are thinking of taking a course other than Blueprint, Don't, you will not have nearly as much fun nor as much of an advantage on test day. Also, if If you live in the San Fernando Valley I highly recommend taking the course with Branden, he is top notch and there is never a dull moment. read more

I have been contacted numerous times by this company. It is almost on the border of harassment! Yes I was enrolled in your course, do I need to show you my old books/ credit card payment? The class was overall just okay. Matt was a good instructor, very personable and knowledgable. The class was somewhere around 40 or 50 students when I took the summer course which left very little time for questions or individual attention. Save your money, do ALL of the old practice LSAT exams and review the answers you missed. There really is no secret formula for the LSAT expect preparation. read more

I would highly recommend Blueprint. I came in with 0 to no knowledge about the LSAT and have gained so much valuable information. Branden F. was a great instructor. He made class fun yet we were learning at the same time. He always explained things well and in ways that I could take home and use to practice. read more

Took Blueprint LSAT Prep this summer at Northridge for the October 2012 LSAT. I recommend this prep course for anyone who wants to take the LSAT. Very clear material that if practiced with discipline and dedication, will lead to an improvement in your LSAT performance. I enrolled in Spencer Robins' course and he was AWESOME! I look forward to going to class and his knowledge about the material was impressive. Worth the $$$ and time. I felt very confident going into the test and hopefully whoever takes this course will feel the same way i did! Thanks Blueprint! read more

I took the Blueprint course in Northridge with Branden and I definitely was not disappointed. Branden was able to make a difficult 4 hour class pass with ease. He is an LSAT guru who knows the Blueprint method well and teaches it to you in a manner that is easy to understand. Moreover, he is extremely funny and keeps the material engaging throughout the lesson. In addition to the great instructor, the Blueprint course at Northridge offers a wide variety of tools such as clinics, video explanations, and drills that made studying for the LSAT a whole lot easier. read more

Branden was super helpful, he really tried to make the material the least boring possible. Similarly he really tried to answer any questions that arose to his best ability. His sarcasm was very much appreciated made class more humorous !!! read more

Branden Frankel was the best LSAT prep teacher! 4 hours seems like a drag, but it flew by with all the jokes he incorporated into each class. He was very helpful with any questions his students had and would stay after class if students still needed help. Very happy with this class and definitely got my moneys worth! read more

I took Branden's class for the September LSAT. He made the process and material so much easier to understand. Thankfully Branden was funny so it made a four hour class bearable. The best thing about Blueprint is the online tool. The practice sets, videos, explanations were the best tools in this process. With the logistics tool, I was able to find the areas I needed to improve on. Overall, I highly recommend Blueprint! read more

I recently took the May - July LSAT prep class with Instructor Branden Frankel. I have nothing but positive things to say! Not only was Mr. Frankel extremely knowledgeable and professional but he ensured our questions were answered and even focused on our test day confidence, the last of which is equally important as the material, in my opinion. I greatly enjoyed this class and feel better prepared for my September LSAT. This is my second time taking the LSAT and I can say that I feel more confident in a score increase after taking this course with Mr. Frankel compared to just preparing on my own. read more

I don't think I could have taken the LSAT without taking this prep course. I took the course in Northridge with Branden Frankel. He made the class very enjoyable, funny, and an overall great experience. He was always helpful and he made sure everyone was comfortable with the material before moving on. I would 100% recommend this course, especially with Branden, to anyone looking to improve their score. read more

I was recommended by a friend who took the course previously and took the Spring '17 course with Branden in Northridge and he was awesome! His teaching was fun and informative. My score went up by 11 points from my first practice exam to my 6th one! Branden incorporated a lot of jokes into his teaching style which makes learning that much more fun! The blueprint online lessons and homework are really helpful in mastering all the skills taught in the classroom. They have so many practice exams as well as over 1000LR Q's, over 150 games and reading comp passages to practice on. Really recommend Blueprint LSAT prep! read more

Studying for the LSAT can be very challenging, at first I was hesitant about enrolling in the class but it was honestly the best investment I made ,primarily because my instructor Branden F. made class a fun learning environment but also made the concepts taught very understandable and easy to digest! read more

Branden was my instructor at CSUN for the July-Sept LSAT. Honestly, Branden was one of the best instructors I have had throughout my academic career. He really cares about his students and wants all of his students to succeed. Whenever going over different problems, if someone did not get it correct he would go over exactly how the problem is wrong and the correct steps we need to take in order to get the right answer. He walked us through every step, never getting frustrated with anyone. On top of this, his humor made the 3-hour class go by so fast and very enjoyable. Branden went above and beyond for all his students and i could not recommend him enough. read more

I had the pleasure of taking this class to prep for my LSAT with Branden Frankel. It was such an enjoyable experience! Branden made the class fun and interactive, at the same time he explained the material extremely thoroughly. Every concept was reviewed and all questions answered. I feel ready and prepared to tackle the LSAT! Thanks Branden! read more
