The best decision I made during this process was choosing Blueprint. The tutor, Keith Barry, that they connected me with was the absolute perfect match. I would not be where I am without Keith. I went from a 142 and 140 on my first two diagnostics to hitting 170+ on my practice tests. I improved by 20+ points on my actual LSAT and the range of schools that I was expecting to attend when I first started studying are now after thoughts. I was just waitlisted at Wash U, and was admitted into some phenomenal schools as well. Keith helped me in all three areas of the exam. I made huge strides in a LR and RC because of his process of review during our tutoring sessions. I was getting 10-11 questions right on each exam section when I first started, but ended up getting near perfect sections on my PTs by the end. The biggest difference however was with LG. I was so lost and confused those first few months of studying, but because of Keith's help, LG was by far and away the easiest section for me and I would get perfect sections on 9/10 PT's. The last few months I wanted to focus more on LR/RC but whenever I needed help on LG, he was right there with his expertise to help me through the inferences and set ups. Most importantly, we talked test strategy. I was able to see patterns and deductions that I never believed I would be able to see before I started studying with him. The harder questions on LR and RC that would take me 2+ minutes to answer (and usually get wrong), I would be able to finish in 30 seconds and answer correctly. His test strategy saved me much needed time, which anyone knows is critical during this exam. I really cannot state enough how wonderful a tutor and person Keith Barry is.
One of the aspects of working with Keith that was so helpful was his availability. He always worked around my busy schedule and was available whenever I had questions about certain problems at random times of the day, as well as questions about schools and the application process. He made this stressful and hectic experience seamless. Not only did he help me study, but he was able to advise me on my personal and diversity statements. They were works of art after we finished discussing them. I had a unique story and my statements articulated the struggle that I went through beyond my wildest dreams. Moreover, he was an excellent person to bounce ideas off of on when and where to apply to schools. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Keith for all of his help. Keith is an LSAT wizard.
