An incredibly grateful student
GBFrom 140s to 99th percentile score: thanks Golden LSAT! Nearly a year ago, I started with a diagnostic in the 140s and using another test prep company/tutor was able to record my first official score in the mid-160s However, I still didn’t feel like the exam had fully “clicked” for me. After doing extensive research on tutors and different test prep companies, I stumbled across Mitchell’s AMAs on Reddit. Larger test prep companies, like the one I used, rely on too many gimmicks or shortcuts that actually make the LSAT more complicated than it needs to be. Mitchell’s AMAs exposed me to a more practical and intuitive approach to the LSAT. I knew I wanted him in my corner as I ramped up for a re-take! While working with Mitchell for just under 3 months, I was able to move my practice exams scores to the mid-170s, even notching my first 180! On the June exam, I scored a 174 official score. Mitchell’s approach to the exam is fundamentally different than other test prep entities. Using helpful analogies, intuitive strategies, and even connecting back the exam to basic reading/analytical skills (that are SO relevant for law school), he made the test both fun and rewarding. Not to mention, Mitchell really helped me get into the mindset of what it means to be a high scorer. On top of all of this, he’s incredibly thoughtful, flexible, and accessible. His primary goal is your success, not a paycheck. The cost: For many of you, a point of hesitation might be the cost (and it certainly was for me). As someone who works full-time, I allocated a larger than expected portion of my paycheck towards LSAT prep. The moment I logged onto LSAC and saw the 174, I knew it was worth it. Fortunately, this score places me at or above nearly every schools’ median. This not only means I have a shot at some of the best law schools in the country, but also great scholarship offers. In short, if you can afford it, don’t hesitate, especially if you’re just starting. If you can’t afford it, Mitchell’s AMA’s are still a great resource and even a consultation call with him can help you learn how a 180-scorer approaches the exam. THANK YOU MITCH AND GOLDEN LSAT!

GB162-173 in three months! I worked with Mitchell for three months in preparation for the September 2022 LSAT. This was my first official LSAT. I had a diagnostic score of 162, but I shared with Mitchell that my goal score was at least 170. Mitchell from the start showed how personally invested and interested he was in my success; he never doubted my ability to reach that goal score and helped reassure me even when I doubted myself. He planned our sessions incredibly well, utilizing every minute of our time and planning homework for me to work on between sessions. I met with him once a week for a two-hour session. I always felt like the pace was right on track, never too fast for me to fully absorb but never too slow that I wasn’t learning enough. Mitchell’s professionalism as a tutor is abundantly evident in his teaching style, patience, and organization. Content wise, Mitchell really is the Lord of the LSAT! He had an answer to every question, a method for every bump in the road. In my opinion, Mitchell’s knowledge is far more valuable than any other LSAT studying tool combined. I know this from experience: before starting with Mitchell, I used 7Sage, The LSAT Trainer, and LSAT Demon and none showed significant improvement in my score. It is worth every dollar and cent. Studying for the LSAT can feel all-consuming and treacherous. I spent many nights crying over practice scores, wondering if it was worth continuing. Mitchell always made it clear that I could reach out with anything, and when I did reach out for emotional support, Mitchell was my most vocal supporter, offering advice that I will continue to carry not just with the LSAT, but in life. In the end, I received a 173 on my LSAT, a full three points over my goal score. Mitchell prepared me for every possible scenario, every potential hiccup that may arise, allowing me to buckle down on test day and use the extremely solid foundations I had built in my time working with him to achieve my strong score without letting any outside factors filter in. I cannot recommend his services enough.

GBAmazing Tutor! Working with Mitchell was the key to getting out of my bad LSAT habits and attacking the test in a whole new way. Before working with him, I scored a 171 and struggled with maintaining consistently good scores on RC and LR. I had essentially hit a plateau. After just a few weeks (May until the June test) we trained on habits that improved my speed, which lended to better, more consistent scores. These were ways of attacking the test I had never heard about from commercially available prep books. His confidence in me and my abilities went a long way to making me feel like I could succeed. I ended up scoring a 174 on the June test thanks to his help!

GBIncredible Tutoring! Mitchell helped me improve my LSAT score from the low 160s to the high 160s after working with him for several months. He always had new approaches to working on challenging sections or questions, and they were tailored to fit my own struggles with the exam. I really enjoyed working with Mitchell and would highly recommend him to others looking for a very personalized, effective approach to improving your LSAT score.

GBMitchell is the best!! Mitchell is the absolute best! He is very thorough and teaches you in whatever way is best for you. He’s very patient, flexible, and makes it enjoyable to learn. He guided me to a huge percentile gain, a 19% gain to be exact! I had tried LSATmax before seeing Mitchell, but the only thing that helped raise my score was Mitchell’s teaching methods. Mitchell made sure to teach in a way where I would learn, versus LSATmax is for the collective. One thing that Mitchell had me do was keep a log of my work. It was the best thing for me as it helped me see my day to day improvements, as well as identifying my problem areas. Mitchell is a friendly smile that makes studying for the LSAT more enjoyable. He is an intelligent individual that is eager to help others be successful.
