Stratus Prep's LSAT classes saved my life... The teaching methodology and friendly instructors helped me increase my score by 12 points to a 172! Thank you Stratus!
I was the first of my friends to take Stratus Prep’s LSAT class. After theykept hearing me bragging about my score increasing with every practice exam (up to a 171 on the real LSAT!!!), they all signed up too! Now we’re all at top 10 law schools.
Before Stratus Prep, I took a course with a different company where there were almost 60 people in my class. I learned next to nothing because no one answered my questions. Then,luckily, I discovered Stratus Prep, where my class only had 10 students and my instructor knew my name after the first class. I never left a class confused, and by the end my score increased by 15 points!
I researched a few companies in Long Island where I live but none was as impressive as Stratus Prep. The commute ended up being so easy! The office is close to Penn Station and right near the subway. I took a Sunday afternoon class so I only had to come in once a week. Even though it was a five-hour class, my teacher made it fun, and I was never bored. Highly recommended!
My daughter had an excellent experience at Stratus Prep. From all the individualized attention she received to the quality of her instructor (a Harvard Law graduate taught her!), Stratus Prep was absolutely worth every penny.

LSAT Classes | What are 12 Points Worth?

While it does not sound like a lot, 12 points is an enormous improvement on the LSAT (which is graded on a 120 to 180 scale). For example, if you improve from 150 to 162, you are moving from the 44th percentile to the 86th percentile. And the difference between 160 and 172 can be the difference between a top 100 school and a top 5 school.

Our students often ask us how much a 12 point increase on the LSAT is really worth. Below you will find just one way of thinking about this question.

A 12 point increase makes you tremendously competitive at an entirely different tier of schools. The graph below demonstrates that the law school you attend has a very strong correlation to your starting salary after school. As this graph illustrates, a twelve point increase is worth well more than $20,000 in your first year after school alone.

At Stratus Prep, we have many students who end up pursuing a career in the public interest. If you take this path, you still need to take into account the average starting salary of your colleagues. This will have a direct bearing on how others value your degree, so it influences the public interest positions you can obtain.
