Who it is for

For students short on time.

The Foundational Curriculum focuses on the foundational concepts and skills tested in each section of the LSAT. It is in many respects an accelerated version of the Advanced Curriculum, for students who have about a month before their exam.

Twelve one-hour sessions, one-on-one, with a practice-test calendar built around your test date and Slack access between sessions.

If you are not sure the Foundational Curriculum is the right fit, start with the diagnostic session. We recommend a curriculum after we have seen you work.
