The Blueprint LSAT course is nothing but exceptional. Studying for the LSAT is a difficult and frustrating endeavor, but Blueprint makes it as painless as possible by incorporating humor into their lesson plans. The course is structured in a way that enables you to succeed. The weekly homework helps you hammer home the key concepts for the various sections and question types, and theres online explanations to every question that can prove invaluable for understanding what makes the right answer right and the wrong answers wrong. Their teaching on the games section is flawless. I went from getting 10-13 correct answers on games to ultimately only missing one question on the real test. Aaron was the instructor I had and hes awesome. He makes it abundantly clear that hes concerned about your improvement and will regularly check in to see how your studying is going. Hes always there for you to answer questions and his advice can prove invaluable. If youre seriously considering taking a prep course, do not waste your money by going somewhere else. Choose Blueprint. You wont regret it.

Presently taking this course with Mehrdad Alvandi as the instructor. He is clear and concise in all of his explanations and if were both confused he will work through it to make sure we understand the concept. Fantastic teacher who makes himself available outside of class to answer questions or offer tips / tricks / or new perspectives on various questions.Only reason its not a 5 star is due to the fact that I have to commute from over an hour and a half away, nothing against the teacher, I just wish that courses were offered in more areas in Northern California.Overall: Fantastic, passionate, and knowledgeable teacher who understands the core concepts of the LSAT and wants us to get our best score.

It was a wonderful experience being a Blueprint student! The program met the expectations I had after hearing nothing but positive reviews of their prep courses. The staff are great and very responsive. Nick, my course instructor, went above and beyond just teaching the material and made the course interesting and even fun, at times. He was always available before and after class and on breaks to answer any questions that we had. LSAT prep is a significant investment of both time and money, but I gained so much from Blueprint and wouldnt hesitate to recommend their services to any future law students.

My Blueprint experience was fantastic and the course was wonderful. The Blueprint app was definitely amazing because it made me want to study for the LSAT even more. Greg Muren was my awesome LSAT instructor. He was very helpful and went out of his way to help us as a class and individually. The Blueprint curriculum was very comprehensive and helped tremendously.

I took Aarons class in Berkeley, and it was really helpful. I was able to raise my LSAT score seven points, and I credit the increase to the classes and the extensive online practice that Blueprint makes available to its students. Aaron is a great teacher, and the class is well worth it!

I would have been so lost had I not taken this course! Blueprint gives you the tools you need to tackle the LSAT! Mehrdad Alvandi is an incredibly energetic and invested instructor! Hes always willing to stick around after class to answer questions and makes sure no one gets left behind! We got so lucky with him as our instructor!! Its only been three weeks and I already feel SO much better about taking this test than I did going in to this course. I would highly recommend!!

I took the prep course for 2011 October LSAT exam at Berkeley Blueprint, from late July to the day before the exam. My instructor was Brad Snyder.For the reference of the readers, my LSAT experience is quite a unique one. My first LSAT was in June 2011. I studied by myself with some test prep books I ordered online, and expected about 168~170. What do you know? I made a bubbling error on my first exam and got a 160. I was certainly in stress and I chose to take a Blueprint prep course to maximize my score for the October LSAT.Despite my considerable level of stress, I felt that my Blueprint course was very manageable and endurable. Brad was a very skilled instructor who also worked very hard to connect with the students and fit their needs. The in-class lessons were very well organized and easy to follow.The printed material was both abundant in quantity and high in quality, in my opinion. I received more than enough practice questions and study materials for 2 months of studying about 4~5 hours per day. The answers were well explained and the video explanations from the online portion of the class was also easy to follow.Overall, I think Blueprint prepared me very well. I received 175 on my October 2011 LSAT, which was a 5~7 point increase from my self-studied state. I am certain that Blueprint will continue to prepare the students to optimal LSAT performance.

I took the San Francisco course with Meredith. She definitely knows her stuff. Meredith goes above and beyond for her students. Along with being knowledgeable, she was also entertaining and encouraging. You wont regret enrolling in her class.

I am taking the Blueprint LSAT course in Sacramento and Mehrdad Alvandi is the best!!! He is to the point and focused on what to do for the LSAT taker to answer questions fast and correct. This is what we need to cut through the beast, the LSAT.

Taking a class at Blueprint was definitely worth the investment. I took a prep course to help me prepare for the January 2015 LSAT, and it helped me improve my score dramatically. Aaron is an engaging and thoughtful teacher who makes the class more enjoyable. I highly recommend Blueprints prep course.

I am currently taking this course with Mehrdad Alvandi. I really appreciate the Blueprint structure and all of the resources available to students. The online lessons and homework are an excellent supplement to the in person course. Mehrdad is a very engaging and knowledgeable instructor, he gives us very useful tips and tricks in addition to teaching us everything in the Blueprint curriculum. He truly goes out of his way to ensure that his students are understanding the material and is able to make a three hour long class period both productive and enjoyable.

The Blueprint LSAT prep course has been a great asset in improving my LSAT test score. I am currently taking the Sacramento course taught by the instructor Mehrdad Alvandi. Mehrdad is a wonderful instructor. He is clear and concise in his explanations and you can tell that he truly cares that each and every one of his students does well on the LSAT. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone desiring to improve their score on the LSAT.

My experience w blueprint has been so so so incredibly rewarding. Mehrdad Alvandi is such an amazing instructor. He’s funny, smart, passionate, & enthusiastic about all of the lessons & super eager to help everyone in our class learn. I literally felt so much more confident in taking the LSAT off the first lesson alone & now that we’re halfway through the course I’m like insanely more confident. I feel like 87 lightbulbs go off a day throughout each lesson. I also somehow someway find studying kind of fun now bc I get so excited that I’m actually answering entire sections correctly. I’m super happy with my choice to take this course & also grateful to have lucked into having Mehrdad as our instructor. 10 out of 10. would recommend to a friend

Few deny that the thought of spending months and months studying for another standardized test (that, incidentally, dictates your professional career) is a pleasant prospect. However, I can honestly say that my experience with Blueprint was a wonderful one, from start to finish.First and foremost their instructors (if youre in Berkeley, NICK REY) are honestly fantastic. Nick scored a 180 on the test and then decided to get a degree in education, presenting the best of both worlds: someone who knows the test inside and out AND is a fantastic teacher. Never in my life (and perhaps never again) has a 4 hour class passed so quickly, while teaching me a bunch, and keeping me laughing 99% of the time. It might sound ridiculous but I actually looked FORWARD to class, and that is something one can rarely say about learning logic (or anything 4 hours long)...Second, the online resources are really unparalleled. There was a video or in-depth PDF explanation for every problem on our 1000+ hours of homework and every practice exam. Whats better, the videos by Matt and Trent are hilarious and simultaneously instructive and thorough. I quite literally felt like there was someone holding my hand every step of the way, able to address and fix all the bumps that came up. At the same time, they really prepare you to do it on your own--targeting your weaknesses and providing tons and tons of additional and alternative practice for wherever you need it. On test day, while freaked out I knew i was as ready as I could be...Finally, the administration and other test material is fantastic. Sure, its a test prep company and they are making money on you. But, they are also real people who are positive, personable, and always ready to help. I really enjoyed my experience at Blueprint and would highly recommend them to anyone considering an LSAT prep class. I would finish by touting how much my score increased, but those come out in 10 days so I wont jinx anything... :) bottom line, if youre considering Blueprint seriously dont hesitate--you wont regret it!

I strongly recommend Blueprint LSAT Classroom Preparation at Berkeley to anyone interested in an LSAT course. After taking the Blueprint classroom test preparation course during the winter of 2014-2015, I can definitely say that the course has left me feeling immensely more confident in my LSAT skills. I began the course without having studied or prepared at all for the LSAT; I was a “clean slate,” as they say. When I began the course, the first thing that struck me was that the class was actually fun. Fun may not seem that important when you’re studying for a very difficult test that can essentially determine your future. However, when it comes to attending classes that are 4 hours long, 3 times a week... fun might just be one of the most important aspects. I had Aaron Cohn as my instructor and I remember always laughing during the classes at his jokes. Aaron definitely makes class fun and informative.I will also say that the Blueprint curriculum is extremely comprehensive. It covers each section of the test in depth and in a manner that is interesting and entertaining. The resources that Blueprint offer are quite helpful; they have extra online tests, explanations of the homework questions and tests that allow the user to check answers and fully understand why the answer given is right or wrong.Personally, I enjoyed Blueprint and was able to increase my score by 10 points. In fact, I felt that Blueprint was so helpful and useful that I decided to take the course again, at the discounted price provided to repeat customers. I’ve already squeezed a few more LSAT score points out of Blueprint this second time around!To anyone considering taking a LSAT prep class with Blueprint, I would recommend it whole heartedly. Of course, taking the class won’t guarantee you a great score; it takes a lot of work and improvement is really based on how much time you devote. Nevertheless, the Blueprint program makes the entire process more enjoyable and absolutely increases your likelihood for success. I definitely recommend Blueprint and would encourage anyone considering a LSAT class to take one with Aaron Cohn, he’s an amazing teacher and is always there for his students!

Haha, I am writing this on the day my score came out. Not that my score hinged on my review but I was reminded that I havent written a report talking about how AWESOME Blueprint is.LOVE Blueprint. Aaron, my teacher, was a great, down-to-earth, funny and really helpful guy. You can tell he really knows his way around the course and the LSAT at this point. He is really patient with ALL the students and spends time getting to know their names and their situations. You can tell he cares. He also bought us sliver pizza twice!! WHAT! Such a great guy.The company Blueprint itself is also a great LSAT prep company. If you are choosing between them or Kaplan I would choose BP all the way. They make the material funny, dont take themselves too seriously, and they are always willing to help you to try to improve and answer any of your questions asked in your moments of anxiety and insanity.I found the customer service/support team one of the most helpful sources for tech support or just any small questions. They are so quick to respond and always really friendly and patient with your questions. I never felt like I was getting lost in a big company like I do with many other test prep companies. I knew pretty much all the names of the people on the customer service team by the end of my course and they were all lovely.They also had a lot of sources for study material, whether it be through practice tests, practice sets, practice questions, etc. The list goes on. The website is really sleek and easy to use although sometimes can be a bit glitchy (they are always really quick to solve it)If I could do it all over again, I would still choose this company over any others in the bay area. Amazing company, amazing staff, amazing teachers! Love you BP!

I took Blueprints San Francisco class this spring, and cannot overstate how helpful it was. Not only do these guys know the LSAT inside and out, but their curriculum and their instructors are also entertaining, accessible, and easy to understand, unlike a lot of the other prep companies. I was worried about finding the time and motivation to study while working 60+ hours a week, but the fact that I truly enjoyed class made it easy. Our instructor, Ben, was brilliant and hilarious and always available to help with all of the questions, concerns, and logic-induced panic attacks that cropped up along the way.Best part, their method works. I raised my score 16 points and ended up scoring in the 99th percentile. If you want a prep class that manages to be awesome as well as intelligible and effective, and you have a soft spot for dinosaurs and/or His Honor the former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall (thank you, LSAC, for making Reading Comp so interesting), Blueprint is the place for you.
