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.

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

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.

Then we’ll help you carefully draft that touchy letter to the admissions committee.

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.

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!

So fortunate to have found TPG!!!  

Before I started with TPG, I explored numerous resources and programs to find the best value for my investment. Now, with a score surpassing my goal of 170 and a commitment to matriculate at a top 5 ranked law school, I can confidently say that working with TPG was the single best decision of my pre-law experience.
Randall and Amanda's approach is remarkably effective, and their understanding of the test is borderline scary. Beyond their all-encompassing recall of every LSAT question and answer choice, what truly sets them apart is their unparalleled understanding of test-maker and test-taker tendencies. They not only have a perfect grasp of test-maker habits and patterns but also an unparalleled ability to precisely identify and clarify students' reasoning errors—often illuminating my own thought processes and the mistakes therein before I was even remotely aware of where I had erred.
I don't know whether Randall and Amanda are LSAT-concept geniuses, mind-readers, or both. Their approach went beyond simply teaching me why wrong choices were wrong and right choices right; it enabled me to think exactly like a test-maker and gave me the tools—like no other resource—to eliminate uncertainty clearly, quickly, and profoundly accurately. This method was unbelievably advantageous, ultimately leading me to make leaps in performance that seemed unthinkable before. Without a shred of doubt, TPG was not only the best resource for me but also the greatest factor in reaching my law school dreams.

There is truly no one better  

If you are able to use TPG, I highly recommend using him as soon as possible. He is a miracle worker when it comes to the LSAT. He has such a thorough understanding of the test and truly helps you understand your misconceptions when it comes to attacking questions. While you have to be willing to put in the work and have determination on your end, Randall's strategies and program will get you where you need to me. I saw a 20+ increase in my score from his program and now I will be attending a T14 law school on an amazing scholarship.
