If you are in the SF/LA area, you are a very lucky person. You have the opportunity of working with…read moreone of the best LSAT instructors out there: Nathan Fox. When I joined the class, my LSAT score was plateauing. I received a 166 on my first official take, but after 2 more months of self study I did not make any improvement. That's where Nathan came in. His class is absolutely perfect for those who have a solid foundation for the LSAT but need a little more improvement to meet their test goals. He's a great resource to ask with questions about the problems you've missed, as he provides a logical map to help you get to the right answer yourself. In addition, the live testing done each week acquaints you with actual LSAT conditions and the LSAT Demon is a godsend for those looking for reinforcement of material. Eventually, I was practice testing in his classes around 173-175. And then on test day, I beat that with a 176, a 10 point increase from my first official score! In conclusion, I'm a satisfied customer. Nathan will help you truly understand the test (regardless of your previous exposure) and you'll reap the rewards as a result. Good luck!

I've been writing Yelp reviews for a while and it is extremely rare for someone to have 40+ reviews…read moreand have almost all of them be 5 stars. In this instance they are well-deserved. I was in Nathan's LSAT class in April and May of 2013 and benefited greatly from it. The material on the LSAT is boring as hell and Nathan does a great job of making the class fun with his humor. Nathan is constantly arguing with the speaker and using profanity (which is hilarious, btw) to keep the class alive. Actually, I think he's just being himself which makes the otherwise dry material very entertaining. Nathan scored a 179 on the LSAT so it seems he can do most of these in his sleep if he wanted to. The class is located at the Westfield mall right above the Powell Street BART station so getting there is very convenient if you MUNI or BART. In addition to covering the LSAT section he does a 30 minute Q&A before every class (530pm-6pm) where you can ask him anything related to law school. He is always honest about the pros and cons of pursuing a legal career which I appreciated. He also did a great job of bringing in guest speakers to answer questions you may have. Nathan is always available to his students. You can always email him and he'll get back to you. If you have a question about applying, want to send him your personal statement or got stuck on a question he's your man. I admire how available he makes himself. You can tell he wants to help people succeed on the LSAT and get into the best possible law school they can. One thing I particularly appreciated is he allowed me to pay on a payment plan. This helped ease some of the financial burden of a $500 a month class. His prices are very reasonable and worth every cent but his flexibility was very much appreciated. Nathan also offered proctored tests on the weekends so you get to mimic test conditions. I found those valuable. Unless you're an outstanding test taker my advice would be to take the class for 1-2 months. At that point you start to see the patterns in some of the logic games and get a feel for how to set them up and you may be able to recognize certain types of questions throughout the test. I 100% unequivocally recommend Fox Test prep. I researched a couple of places before choosing Nathan's class and preferred to support a local business and I can guarantee Nathan is funnier and more effective than any of the big test prep services out there. Thanks Fox Test prep!

Cross your fingers and hope for Jeff Hogan to be your instructor. Full of knowledge, examples,…read morestories to understand concepts, and passion as well as humor, he really made this bootcamp worth the time and money. Thanks Jeff for making this a pleasant bootcamp and staying pass 6pm for our September Pleasanton bootcamp. You provided us with confidence and knowledge in how to study moving forward. Also want to give a shout out to all my classmates (yes, all 5 of you) as you all have contributed to making this a collaborative experience. The material itself let alone the support staff (admins, tutor, and post bootcamp webinar support) were all worth what you pay (superb service and very responsive). I read the PMBOK a month before the class. Had I signed up earlier with PMA, I would've had time to also go through their additional online course training and quizzes (which is similar to what Jeff presented). For those early preparers who actually want to understand the material before bootcamp, the online course training helped me more than reading the PMBOK (give yourself 2-3 weekends to go through the online course training). You'll find reading the PMBOK is easier (and more productive) once you finish bootcamp. NOTE: Day 1-3 will cover the majority of what you need to know. Day 4 is a 4hr mock exam plus time to review or ask your instructor whatever remaining concepts you'd like to go through. The mock exam was not as horrible as I expected. It gave me a great overview of what to expect on the day of the exam. Highly recommend you sign up with PMA instead of The Knowledge Academy (go onto the Better Business Bureau website between these two companies and you'll see why). They have still not refunded me for canceling my registration after I paid in full.

I took the June-July LSAT class with a fee waiver and had Austen Yueh as my instructor. This review…read more(and the five stars) is primarily for Austen's teaching. Austen is a phenomenally bright instructor who exudes warmth and a genuine desire for her students to succeed. She is methodical and highly skilled at explaining complex inferences, which was incredibly helpful for mastering logic games. Austen often went above-and-beyond to help ensure that her students could succeed. She made herself available to her students before and after class via email, and often stayed for well past-hours after each class to field any additional questions her students had. Despite the fact that nearly every student was taking this class after a full work day, Austen did a tremendous job keeping the class thoroughly engaged and entertained (with pizza and ice cream to boot!). Having primarily self-studied for my first attempt at the LSAT (using 7sage, Powerscore, the LSAT Instructor, etc.), I was initially wary of taking a course for my second attempt. Having received my results last week, though, I can definitively say that taking Austen's class affirmed my choice and will (fingers crossed!) be what makes the difference in getting accepted into my dream law school. If you're looking for an LSAT prep course, I would highly recommend taking Austen's class at Blueprint!

Aaron is literally the best. There are so many LSAT courses so I know it can feel overwhelming…read more After doing research for two months Blueprint stood out as the best course. I took the Spring San Francisco course with Aaron who was an awesome instructor. Every day of class I would come to class excited to learn and hear his lame jokes. Not only did the jokes help me stay up since the class is from 6 pm - 10 pm it also allowed to remember complex concepts in a fun way. I felt throughout the course I was overly supported. My instructor was available to offer advice, study tips and homework review before and after class. After each exam (especially when I hit a wall with my score) Aaron helped me switch up my testing strategies to find something that worked for me so my score would continue to increase! I also enjoyed the class overall because everyone there was very friendly, and it was a lighthearted environment where no question was viewed as stupid or obvious. The online component was also super helpful, one day I was too sick to go to class so I had to watch the lesson online which allowed me to keep up with the class. I love the Chain of Being because it feels like studying for the LSAT is a video game which brings me back to my PS2 days. Overall, great course for anyone who really wants to perform above and beyond on the LSAT! Also, my score has increased drasitcially!
