LSAT® Program

 

Expert Instructors

As three full-time LSAT® instuctors, we have dedicated our careers to unlocking our students’ potential through hard work and skills training. We do not simply study the LSAT®. We study those who study the LSAT®. We crafted our curriculum based on decades of experience working with LSAT® students.

Learning Modules

You will learn LSAT® concepts via learning modules with the most thorough, precise breakdown of LSAT® concepts possible.

Open Study Time (OST)

At all stages of the program, TPG instructors are available to answer your individual questions, just one click away. You will share your work with us and we will provide corrections and feedback. During OST, you will solidify basic understandings early in the program and identify nuances and remediate deficiencies later in the program.

Practice Tests

Students complete scheduled practice tests using some of the most recently administered LSAT® exams to gauge progress and identify weaknesses.

Test Reviews

For each practice test, we conduct a post-test review to reinforce your strengths and identify and remediate weaknesses.

Speed Drills

During the Gauntlet, students attend 13 to 16 speed drills sessions, in which live tutors will present timed LSAT® questions to push students to achieve proper pacing. We review each question within minutes of the timed effort, providing students with immediate feedback and correction.

Supportive TPG Community

We bring trust, respect, support, and exceptionally high expectations to ourselves and to each other to propel each of us to become the best versions ourselves. We compete every day, not against each other, but against our own previous best.  Our motto: BEAT YESTERDAY.

Application Document Review

Scholarship Negotiations & Law School List

Help with the Big Decisions

Application Document Review

Although applicants’ LSAT® scores and GPAs outweigh other aspects of the law school application, an outstanding personal statement and resumé can make your application stand out among those with similar numbers.

The personal statement serves to showcase your writing skills and to provide a broader picture of the person behind the numbers.

We have helped hundreds of students formulate optimal personal statement themes and refine their delivery of those themes. We strive for honesty and substantive accuracy, while helping you tell your story.

Your resumé should simultaneously showcase your history and your ability to create a highly professional, error-free document.

Other Documents: We provide strategic advice for Criminal History Addenda, Diversity Statements, GPA Addenda, and other Optional Essays.

Application Document Review

Once a student has earned the GPA and LSAT® score to gain admission to target law schools, a high quality personal statement and resume can give the candidate an extra boost in the eyes of admissions personnel. We have helped hundreds of students to formulate the perfect theme and message for the personal statement. Our goal is to show the admissions personnel who you really are and how you will be an asset to the law school. We strive for honesty and substantive accuracy, while helping you tell your story.

Other Documents: We provide advice and review for Criminal History Addenda, Diversity Statements, Optional Essays, etc.

NOTE: Please send your documents to us at least three weeks before your application deadline. Also, please DO NOT send any documents for our review within one month of an LSAT®. Don’t forget that our primary duty is to earn the highest LSAT® scores possible for our students.

Scholarship Negotiations

Yes, you can negotiate for more scholarship money! First, download our pre-formatted spreadsheet and input your law school list. We will evaluate the list based on your goals and numbers to recommend other schools.

Once you receive significant offers, you will input the scholarship amounts into the spreadsheet so we can easily evaluate effective tuition rates and develop a scholarship negotiation strategy. Then, we will help you carefully draft that touchy letter to the admissions committee, asking for an increased scholarship offer.

Scholarship Negotiations

Yes, you can negotiate for more scholarship money! First, create a spreadsheet with the actual tuition numbers for each school to which you have been admitted, along with the scholarship offers. We want to see the actual difference in price once the scholarships are taken into account. This will allow is to discuss the plausibility of negotiating for more money. Then we’ll help you carefully draft that touchy letter to the admissions committee.

I then studied with Randall and my score soared  

I took Kaplan and then took the LSAT and due to both me and Kaplan's fault I did not do well at all. I then studied with Randall and my score soared and that turned into a lot of scholarship offers and money. If you live in Austin, take advantage that his services are offered in your vicinity.

Best LSAT prep class there is  

My score increased by 10 points in this class. It is the best LSAT prep class there is. I would recommend it to anybody! Because of the class, I was able to get a full-ride scholarship to Baylor Law! Randall is one of the best teachers I have ever had!

Paul Saldana
Best in the game  

Without TPG, I may not have become an attorney. My diagnostic score was discouraging to say the least. At the start of the course I was anxious that I would not comprehend the material. Randall and Amanda quickly erased this notion. Their dedication to one on one teaching, carefully crafted course materials, and inspiring attitude sets TPG above all others. My score went up 28 points, something I never believed was possible. I tell people the best money I have ever spent was with TPG. I was able to not only get into law school, I also obtained a substantial scholarship due to my score increase. Best in the game.

Don't even think twice  

Randall is an incredible Law School Test Prep expert. We can not say enough great things about him and his staff. My son (UT student) actually had heard about the Test Prep Guy - an incredible law test prep service in Austin - which REALLY prepared these students to achieve high scores. We made an appt while we were in town and Randall graciously offered to not only meet with my son, but arranged a complimentary LSAT practice. Unfortunately my son was needing to take an LSAT prep course during a break period - which their office was closed. The thing that amazed us the most was that even though we were unable to utilize his company, Randall still advised my son, in how to prepare and study, and gave continuous advice, and always was there for him when he had questions. Randall is truly a great, caring, advisor and mentor, and highly specialized in his field. We so appreciate all the help he gave our son, and because of Randall - our son not only excelled on the LSAT, but received many offers from prestigious law schools. We would highly recommend any student considering LSAT prep to sign up with him and get a spot, while spaces available. Don't even think twice.
