Your Guide to Understanding
— and Mastering —
the LSAT
The LSAT is more than a test — it’s a skill-based measure of reasoning, precision, and problem-solving under time pressure. Understanding how it’s structured, when it’s offered, and how long to prepare is the foundation of effective study.
At Vestry Street Prep, we guide students through every step — from your initial diagnostic exam to your final score goal — with a plan that’s strategic, efficient, and fully personalized.
