There are 3 tiers of LSAT Lifeline Study Packages offering different levels of customization and support. For each one, the goal is to empower you to make the best decisions for your own studies, and ultimately, to reach your goals as a future law student and lawyer. For the LSAT Lifeline, success looks like this: you get the resources and advice that you need so that you don’t need our services anymore.

No, this is not tutoring. Jackie, the LSAT Lifeline Coach, knows what it’s like to study for the LSAT and to tutor students for the LSAT. In her opinion, tutoring is not the most important tool for students of the LSAT. There are many free and affordable resources out there that she can help LSAT students to access. She’ll never tell a student not to sign up for a tutoring course, but she will give you a better understanding of the pros and cons of different study tools.

Jackie, the LSAT Lifeline Coach, is happy to communicate with you by email about anything to do with the LSAT, either for 1 month (for students who choose the Fundamental Study Package or the Targeted Study Package) or for 3 months (for students who choose the Premium Study Package). She will respond to your emails within 48 hours. The email correspondence is designed to empower you to move forward in your LSAT study. Jackie is happy to discuss specific practice questions via email, but email correspondence does not replace study time and her responses are not meant to just give you the answer to a question or even to explain how to get to the correct answer. Instead, her goal in all email correspondence is to help you improve your ability to understand and answer LSAT questions independently. If you’re struggling with a specific practice question, she can help you to identify the specific challenges that you’re facing and the kind of practice that will help you successfully tackle the same types of questions going forward.

Of course not. If you do a little research on available LSAT tutoring and classes, you’ll find that a lot of LSAT prep businesses advertise a ‘score increase guarantee.’ To offer a different perspective –this kind of guarantee is a marketing tool. A variety of tools, ranging from free to many thousands of dollars, can all help a student to increase their LSAT score. But at the end of the day, the power is in the hands of the student to increase their score.

No — and in some ways, the earlier you start thinking about your application, the better. Your LSAT score and your application don't exist in isolation. The schools you're realistically aiming for should inform your score goal, and your score goal should inform how you're spending your prep time. A law school consultation can help you see the full picture: where you want to go, what it's actually going to take to get there, and how to make sure your application and your LSAT prep are working toward the same goal. If you're not sure whether the timing is right for you specifically, reach out — Jackie is happy to help you figure that out before you book anything.

LSAT Lifeline was designed to empower students. If you’re studying for the LSAT, it means that you’ve already had many years of schooling and you’re getting ready for the rigors of law school. If you’ve made it this far, you already have the study skills that you need to master the LSAT. The LSAT Lifelife helps you to cut through the slurry of available LSAT study programs and advice and to make a plan that works for the capable student that you already are.
