I heard about Blueprint from a friend of mine who went to school and took the course in California, and after his recap, comparing other classes, and the additional online videos and supplemental tests, I decided it would be the best choice for me. I took Natalie Knight's class for the Feb. 2016 test. Natalie was an awesome instructor, always engaging with the class, and kept things moving (hard to do when you are talking logic games from close to 10:00 at night!). I had sat in on other courses, and there was really no contest. She was always open to going into more detail about questions or points of confusion, and she was great about recommending how to approach studying. She also took stock of how we were doing, and was willing to slow down or speed up on a particular game or prompt depending on the class's ability to understand the concepts. The one thing I would say is that the design of the course is a little intense for people working full time, with the amount of time in class and the amount of homework. It is great that the class leads up to the test date, but because of weather and incidents outside of anyones control, the weeks leading up to our test were a bit to crammed with material for a reasonable person to be able to get through. I didn't love my Feb. score, so I ended up taking the June test. Great thing about starting out with Blueprint is I had the option to extend my use of the online materials, and it still kept track of all my stats. I was able to really focus in on the areas I was struggling with. Logic games and reading comp were giving me issues with timing, but come the June exam, I got every single reading comp question right and only missed one logic games question. That just WOULD NOT have happened had it not been for the Blueprint method. But I also don't think I would have achieved that from self-study alone. If you can afford to take a classroom course with blueprint over the online, do it! read more

The way I look at it, I've entrusted Blueprint prep with my future by allowing them to guide me through the complex and sometimes intimidating process of preparing for the LSATs. Having done my research and comparing the pros and cons of all the LSAT prep companies out there (Kaplan, TestMasters, Princeton Review), Blueprint really stood out as the "next generation" of LSAT review companies. So, after the solid first impression I got from talking to a Blueprint rep on the phone (their customer service is top-notch), I decided to sign up for the DC class. Mark Salvador, our live class teacher, exceeded my expectations tenfold. Mark is a pretty brilliant kid with a natural affinity for teaching. Though he is only 22 (roughly my age-I'll be a senior in college), he earned the respect of the entire class within the first class block; not through intimidation, but through demonstrating his mastery of LSAT methods and making it easy for us to use those methods. His instruction is VERY clear, easy to implement, and most of all entertaining. His willingness to meet with us before and after class, as well as his insisting to email, call, or even skype him with questions outside of class shows his dedication to raising his students' scores. As a motivated student, I've found that Mark moves through the material efficiently while still making sure that the whole class grasps the concepts. My situation is unique in that I'm returning to college outside of DC and cannot finish the live class. Even though I'll be finishing the Blueprint course online through Blueprint: The Movie 2.0, Mark has assured me that I can still contact him any time I'd like with questions, etc. I fully expect to see my LSAT score increase to my target score and then some thanks to Mark's instruction. read more

I took the summer class with Maria. Still waiting on my scores from the September test, but from practice tests alone I can attest to what a difference her class made. She knows everything there is to know about the LSAT and law school admissions in general, and was genuinely enthusiastic about sharing as much of that knowledge with us as possible. She's super sharp, kind, and made class entertaining even at 10 pm on a Wednesday. Shir subbed for our classes once and was also wonderful. I am docking a star not because of the quality of the in-person course (If I was rating Maria alone I'd give her six stars!) but because Blueprint really needs to update their print and video materials. The content is still relevant and helpful for the test, but some of it is surprisingly offensive. Given the fact that 1) it's 2018, and 2) there are now more women are enrolling in law school than men, there's seriously no excuse for making jokes about women's appearances or sexuality in a law school prep class. I understand wanting to incorporate humor into otherwise dry content, but I found it distracting at best and disturbing at worst, especially when delivered by two middle-age white guys in the Blueprint videos. Maria was quick to acknowledge these faux-pas's in class, but it shouldn't be on the teachers (or the students) to identify and correct those mistakes. I also acknowledged this in all of my course surveys, and got an apology but haven't heard anything concrete about when Blueprint plans to remedy this. read more

I took the LSAT once studying on my own and once a few years later studying with an in-person Blueprint class, my instructor was Steve Homola. I think people often wonder if the cost of an in-person course is worth the investment, and I can say without a doubt that it is. I went from scoring in the 74 percentile on my own to the 90th - a 164 -- with the course. The content is amazing (I studied on my own with Kaplan books and found even the Blueprint books far superior) and all of the instructors are highly knowledgeable and provide ongoing support throughout the course and afterwards. The course comes with access to the online portal with online lessons -- you can review a lesson or get the content if you have to miss a class -- homework, and charts that track your progress on practice tests. The online portal helps you identify your areas for growth and provides extra practice for you in those areas. If you have initial sticker shock on the price, follow Blueprint on FB/Instagram/Twitter and they have deals on their courses all the time. I saved $300 by posting one photo on Instagram -- well worth it! And their customer service is amazing. I've never written a Yelp review on anything before, and this was well worth the time to do it. You will absolutely be glad you took the class! read more

I took the fall 2016 course with Natalie Knight, and it was a fantastic experience. I was working a full-time job and the class was 6-10 PM, two days a week with workshops and practice exams on the weekend. Many other students in the class shared my busy schedule. Natalie made the material easy to understand and worked to help us comprehend it fully. She was approachable, kind, and funny, and she tirelessly broke down difficult questions so we could master some of the trickiest parts of the exam. The interactive homework was also a huge help - it's easy to use and access on a laptop, and it is tailored to help you improve on your weakest sections. Natalie also made herself available to go over parts of the class/homework you had additional questions on - she goes the extra mile for her students and is committed to helping them succeed. While I did not score as well as I wanted to on my December LSAT, I continually improved my score throughout the fall and I plan on continuing to use Blueprint to help me reach my dream score. 5/5 - I highly recommend this program to anyone who's serious about crushing the LSAT. read more

I took the DC classroom course with Natalie Knight, who was a fantastic professor. She was really relatable and always had a solution to help you study weaker areas, even when you would ask her on the spot. She made a point to know everybody and be available, and I personally give her a 5/5 stars. She also likes Hamilton, which is a big plus in my book. In terms of the course material itself, I'm still waiting to get my score back, but my practice exam scores increased over 10 points with me ending in the 170+ range before the exam. I found that the way in which is the material is broken down is logical, builds on itself over the course, and is easy to comprehend. I particularly liked that if you missed a class, they had videos explaining the lesson online that were just as comprehensive. I personally learn better in a classroom, but it was nice to have that flexibility as a part-time worker and full-time student in case I needed to miss a night. Definitely recommend Natalie and Blueprint to any and everyone studying for the LSAT! read more

I took the Winter 2018 class (Washington, DC), Mara L. was my instructor. Maria is fantastic! I really enjoyed the course and how it is structured. Maria really understands the material...I mean she can really explain why an answer is/isn't correct, which really helps you understand the material. Maria was witty and made us feel like we were all on the same team. She did inspire me. Blueprint presents some very threatening material in a very non-threatening way. The course structure (if you follow it...DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND KEEP UP WITH YOUR LESSONS) is easy to follow and moves at a steady pace. The techniques/skills/tools that you will learn in the Blueprint course is 100% usable. If you keep up you can see your own progress. You can access lessons on line, take practice exams, do homework ....did I mention questions comes with explanations. If you are looking for a great LSAT prep course, Blueprint...if you are looking for a great LSAT prep course w/ a great instructor....Blueprint and Maria L. read more

After doing research on a few different LSAT prep companies, I ended up taking the Blueprint class with Natalie Knight for the December 2016 test, and it was the best decision. Natalie was an amazing instructor, and was willing to go the extra mile. Even with class ending at 10 pm on a weeknight Natalie was willing to stay after class and answer all of my questions. Natalie also made the material easy to understand and was great about catering to different levels of comprehension and skill. Blueprint's online materials were the best that I have seen in the LSAT prep world and helped me individualize and focus my studying. When I took the December 2016 test I scored in the 99th percentile, and there is absolutely no way I could have reached that score without Natalie's help. I would definitely recommend Blueprint, and Natalie's class in particular, to anyone looking for intense but very effective LSAT prep. read more

Great class! Natalie Knight taught my class for the February 2017 LSAT and she was awesome. Super approachable and down to earth, and made the long, 4-hour classes go fast. Also, I have to point out that on multiple occasions, I e-mailed Natalie with a question on my progress and she took the time to send back really comprehensive and thought-out responses - it was extremely helpful. Most recently, I e-mailed her about my LSAT score (which came out over a month after the course ended), and she STILL sent back a really helpful, long response. I'm very grateful that she still cares to help even though she's no longer my instructor! Finally, the online homework and practice sets on Blueprint's website and on the mobile app are the best. I would recommend this class to anyone looking to put in the hours for LSAT prep. (As a reference point, I went from a 164 on the diagnostic -- 172 on the test) read more

I took Natalie's LSAT class with blueprint in DC and it was excellent! Blueprint weekly classes are a bit longer than many other prep classes, and this extra face time really pays off. Natalie was especially great. Not only does she know the material inside and out, but she has tons of energy and a great sense of humor -- which is essential in class that runs from 6pm to 10pm. She was always easily accessible for extra questions regarding homework and general test day strategies. Natalie also is really helpful when discussing strategies for test day and providing pep talks before the test. In general, the blueprint curriculum is very well developed. The online tools to track your score, drill concepts and target weaknesses, were incredibly helpful. I would highly recommend Blueprint, and Natalie's classes in particular, if you are looking for a hardcore class to prepare for the LSAT! read more

First off--Natalie was an amazing instructor. I would give her 5 stars! She was clear, had a lot of experience, brought humor into the classroom, and was encouraging. I highly recommend her as an instructor! Blueprint as a whole I think is a good company, but there is one large concern I brought up with the classroom coordinator. I think some of the material they produce in their books, videos, and online drills can be inappropriate. For example, there was a joke about sexual assault on one of the videos. While Blueprint edited and removed content when I gave specific examples, I did not leave the course (after a conversation with the classroom coordinator) feeling like they were seriously reviewing all their content. I think that Blueprint is a good company but that it could be better if it reviews and monitors content to ensures jokes are appropriate. read more

I took the live course with Mark Salvador for the June 2012 LSAT and I couldn't be happier with my choice! I ended up going from a starting point of around 160 up to a 167 on test day and I owe all of that to this class. Mark is an awesome teacher and he is always willing to come early or stay after class to answer questions about the LSAT or even about the application process. He helps you really understand the LSAT inside and out, not just learn a few tricks to get a few extra points. You'll start to notice patterns in the structure of just about every question and Mark made sure everyone understood the concepts before moving on. If you're in the DC area, take Mark's class and you will be happy with your score on test day! read more

An update on my previous review--Blueprint was not only a great course but I have found the instructors and program to be very helpful even after I took the June LSAT. I ended up deciding to retake the exam and Natalie Knight has been a valuable resource in terms of coaching and advice, even though I'm no longer a 'current' student. I purchased the $250 summer extension pack (3 months of access, from June through the September LSAT) and feel it's well worth the money spent. Having access to all of Blueprint's practice questions, extra exams, and clinics is VERY helpful in studying the second time around, and I've been impressed by the way Natalie has gone the extra mile to make sure I have the resources I need! read more

I work for the Department of Justice and am surrounded by 20-something young professionals who are serious about the LSAT and getting into great law schools. Blueprint was recommended to me by my most LSAT-savvy friend, and I am very happy that I signed up. The course materials are intuitive and interesting. I find myself using the online resources (practice sets, explanation videos, law school compass) all the time. Took the test in September and got a great score. Natalie was a fantastic instructor who really cares about her students and makes the class fun. I don't know how she maintains such a great attitude, but I'm grateful for it. Overall, a highly beneficial (and surprisingly fun) experience. read more

I just took Maria LaBella's summer course and I cannot recommend both Blueprint LSAT and Maria enough. Maria is truly one of the best instructors I've had and makes preparation for the LSAT (dare I say it) fun. The course materials (both online and physical materials) are both efficient and exhaustive and give you everything you could need to succeed. Maria is incredibly dedicated to her students and a testament to the caliber of instructors that Blueprint hires. I've found that the entire experience from beginning to end has been insightful and effective. You will not be disappointed by choosing Blueprint. read more

I have taken Testmasters and now I am currently taking Blueprint with Maria and she is an incredible instructor. Her humor and her ability to interact with you is second-to-none. She makes the class easy to understand and she is very much prepared to crank up the difficulty to really test you. I am a very picky shopper and don't like prep courses but with her she made me very confident that I have what it takes to succeed. I am currently scoring near 170 and she definitely has played a major role in this. 10/10, would recommend. (Oh, and by the way, she brings food to class) read more

Shir was my instructor and she was AMAZING. Super smart, knew her stuff and was an effective teacher who was committed to her students' success. You could tell from class one that she genuinely cared, and always went the extra mile - staying late to answer questions, sending thorough and timely email responses, and providing pep talks and encouragement. Her sense of humor made class interesting and helped me remember the tricks. The Blueprint program itself was well-crafted, and the adaptive homework was incredibly helpful. The method WORKS. And thank you, Shir!!! read more

I took a Blueprint class with Natalie Knight in preparation for the June 2017 test and loved it! Natalie was an engaging instructor, and my score dramatically improved from my first practice test. Natalie even took the time to listen to me vent for 20 minutes after our last class about my nervousness for the test, and come test day, I felt prepared. I highly recommend Blueprint and their engaging online platform to anyone -- though like other reviewers have mentioned, it'd be good if Blueprint could remove some of the insensitive jokes from their online material. read more

While I have yet to take the actual LSAT, the Blueprint class, and more specially, my teacher Maria, have been instrumental in my preparation for the exam. The in-class portion of the class is very helpful. Maria's experience and instruction were invaluable tools that helped me learn strategies to (hopefully) master the LSAT! The online portion of the course is comprehensive and informative. It is truly AMAZING, and it supplements the lessons from the in-class portion well. Overall, I full-heartedly recommend this class. It will help you improve! read more
