Blueprint LSAT Preparation

I highly encourage any future LSAT taker to sign up with Blueprint for a review course. Having taken a different LSAT prep course prior, I could easily see the difference between the two companies. Blueprint’s course was easier to learn, had more resources, and was more engaging overall. The company’s careful selection of an instructor was evident. My instructor, Brett Donaldson, was positive, supportive, and had such an approachable personality. I felt that he truly cared about his students and our success with the LSAT. Blueprint built this course with students in mind. All of the resources available, including different electronic platforms, was to help their students in any and every way possible. Aside from the big picture benefits, it was definitely the little things that helped my LSAT journey. For example, the books themselves and the online videos have humorous jokes and comments that help you learn the concepts quicker in a more relaxed environment. Aside from the material itself, my instructor, rain or shine, came to class with the attitude that we all won a million dollars that day. It was that positive energy, that truly helped me not be as stressed for my studying and is what really helped me master the concepts easier.

Not only was Blueprint an excellent learning utensil, my teacher Brett did a great job at prepping me for the test! If you’re ever in doubt, this course will get down to the niddy griddy and teach you from basics to the extremes of what to expect. I recommend it to everyone I talk to now, who’s interested in getting into law school. Definitely take the class and like I said if you can get in with Brett even better, he’s personable, relatable, and not some old boring man or an uptight old lady. Ha. Take the class I promise it’s worth it!

Blueprints course was extraordinarily helpful in preparing me to take the LSAT. I can’t believe how much I was able to learn in two months using this course. The instructor, Branden, was funny and knowledgeable, and I was surprised at how short he can make a four-​hour class feel. 10 weeks wasn’t quite enough time for me to prepare, so I went ahead and bought the $ 250 extension in order to keep all of my videos and materials until June. I feel like that is a fair price for the amount of information they let you keep. I’d recommend this class to anyone serious about preparing for the LSAT. If you go to class and put the time in doing homework, your score is pretty much guaranteed to go up.

I took the CSUN Blueprint LSAT Prep course for the Spring LSAT with Branden. It was hands down worth every penny! I had previously put a deposit on a Kaplan LSAT course but after attending one of Blueprint’s seminars I was sold and withdrew my deposit from Kaplan (Best Decision ever) The LSAT and Law School are huge investments, essentially you are going to spend the money anyway so at least get what you pay for. Law School = on average around $ 120,000; The Application Process including registering for the LSAT can cost you over $ 1,000. It would be silly to try and skip on taking a prep course unless you are a genius. A better score on the LSAT in general correlates with higher pay after law school and if you think about it like that it makes no sense not to take the course and doing otherwise or not thinking about it that way would imply that you won’t be a very good lawyer. Blueprint is competitively priced and heads above the rest of the other courses out there, when they tell you that you can walk into there class knowing nothing about the LSAT and walk out being a ninja they seriously mean it (an LSAT ninja that is).
Furthermore, I managed nearly a 20 point increase from diagnostic to last practice test. Since the June test is Super Early for applications I ended up postponing it until september to see if I could break into the 170’s (I’m Close). I am still using my Blueprint Books and reactivated my online account. Even after the class, Branden keeps in touch and answers questions I have. He seriously is an incredible instructor. His time management in class is impeccable, we always got through the material. He never failed to make us laugh as well as accommodate everyone without slowing the quicker students down.
The bottom line is: if you are thinking of taking a course other than Blueprint, Don’t, you will not have nearly as much fun nor as much of an advantage on test day. Also, if If you live in the San Fernando Valley I highly recommend taking the course with Branden, he is top notch and there is never a dull moment.

I have been contacted numerous times by this company. It is almost on the border of harassment!
Yes I was enrolled in your course, do I need to show you my old books/​credit card payment?
The class was overall just okay. Matt was a good instructor, very personable and knowledgable. The class was somewhere around 40 or 50 students when I took the summer course which left very little time for questions or individual attention.
Save your money, do ALL of the old practice LSAT exams and review the answers you missed. There really is no secret formula for the LSAT expect preparation.

So I was actually going to wait until the end of my course to write a review but I just couldn’t help myself. I am currently taking the CSUN Summer 2 Course — 112 hours of instruction, 16 comprehensive lessons, 6 proctored practice exams and evaluations, 3 interactive workshops at the end of each book for review, and 3 end-​of-​the-​course clinics to help you get those last few, precious points. I could not be any more content with my decision to take Blueprint. I also really love the location– traffic is a lot easier going to Northridge than UCLA.
Going into the course I was lost. My study habits were pretty much non-​existent. Time management? What’s that? Blueprint has given me all this. I absolutely love the lesson plans, love the way they introduce the methods, and love the way the classes are executed. I actually understand concepts that I WOULD NEVER figure out by myself. A lot of people had told me just to practice for the LSAT on my own– I AM SO PLEASED I DID NOT LISTEN TO THEM. This prep course helps– and I’m only on lesson nine.
My instructor Branden Frankel is just amazing. I can’t imagine anyone else teaching me this subject matter. This is what I love about Blueprint– their employees. Branden is so good at what he does, he literally is an LSAT ninja. He breaks down the questions and concepts down to the nitty gritty until every single person in the class understands the answer. He is absolutely one of the funniest people I have ever met. He makes our dreadful 4 hour classes bearable. I never knew LSAT prep could be so much fun. I can’t remember the last time I laughed and had a pleasant time in a class setting. Branden is exceptional, I totally recommend taking a class with him. Plus, he did score a 173!!! I wish I could take him to law school with me. He also went to UCSB for his undergrad, so maybe I’m just biased ;)
Blueprint’s service has so far been superb. I missed a couple of classes and was given the online course for free. These videos have been very helpful– feels like I never missed class haha. Shannon Wessel who is our Classroom Manager is prompt on answering questions/​emails. She is also always emailing us about LSAT tips, test centers, and the latest news.
What really prompted me to write this review was this weeks dilemma. Our room at CSUN was changed because school had started and our room was no longer available. CSUN placed us in a no air-​conditioning room, which pretty much was hell. Branden did his best to teach, but we were all pretty much gasping for air after 4 hours. I meant to email Shannon to tell her about my complaint, hoping she could somehow contact CSUN and let them know about our situation. Before I could contact her the next day, I received an email from Shannon informing us that she had found a new room for us at a nearby hotel for the remainder of our limbo period (until CSUN could accommodate us with a better room). It didn’t even take 24 hours for them to arrange this new room. I was SOOOOOOOO impressed with the way they handled the situation. Thank you to Shannon and thank you to Blueprint– your accommodations were perfect.
Anyways, I will update my review when I finish the course, and hopefully score a perfect 180– yeah right lol. If you are reading this review because you are debating Blueprint– do yourself a favor and do it. SO WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY. Plus, Blueprint is a lot cheaper than Kaplan. I am beyond satisfied with my decision. Actually looking forward to the rest of the lessons. Happy LSAT studying everyone :)

I recently took the Blueprint Prep Class at CSUN in preparation for the June LSAT. t I’m confident I did the best of my ability. I wouldn’t have this confidence had I not taken the Blueprint prep course. Going into the course I was lost. I had tried to do a small bit of studying on my own and became completely frustrated. After doing some last minute research I decided to enroll in the Blueprint course about 10 days before it started. It was a huge expense and I don’t have parents in a position who could contribute financially. On top of the financial commitment, I had a commute of an hour and half in order to attend class. The cost of gas and the commute were an issue. But I took the plunge and maxed out three separate credit cards in order to pay for the course. I went into the course not knowing if I had made the right decision. After the second practice test I felt the financial hardship was completely worth it. The difference in my score from the first practice test and the second made me feel like the course was worth every penny. The instructor, Branden Frankel, was funny and intelligent and made everything so much easier. Its not easy to be able to keep a class entertained and actively involved for 4 hours three times a week, but Blueprint’s original and amusing method (combined with Branden’s witticism and knowledge) was able to make the time fly, while at the same time enable me to learn and remember the content. I feel like this class was definitely one of best investments I could have made towards my future. Thank you Blueprint!

Took Blueprint LSAT Prep this summer at Northridge for the October 2012 LSAT. I recommend this prep course for anyone who wants to take the LSAT. Very clear material that if practiced with discipline and dedication, will lead to an improvement in your LSAT performance. I enrolled in Spencer Robins’ course and he was AWESOME! I look forward to going to class and his knowledge about the material was impressive. Worth the $$$ and time. I felt very confident going into the test and hopefully whoever takes this course will feel the same way i did! Thanks Blueprint!
