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!

GBThe Best Tutor Having Mitchell as my tutor has been an amazing experience. Take someone who started with a diagnostic score of 135 and ended up with a 160! I never thought that would be possible. I was in a rough place, I did not understand anything about the LSAT whatsoever, and self-studying just wasn't it for me. I needed someone to teach me everything I needed to know for this test, and that is exactly what Mitchell did. I worked with Mitchell for a year and because of him, the LSAT started to make sense to me. His strategies played a huge role in the constant improvement of my diagnostic scores throughout the duration of working with him. He is not only the best tutor out there, but he is extremely reliable and dedicated A LOT of his time to make sure I was progressing. If I had any questions, comments or confusions, I would text him and get a response right away! I highly recommend Mitchell to anyone taking the LSAT and looking to significantly improve their score!

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!

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.

CAAn Invaluable Part of my LSAT Prep When I found Mitchell’s tutoring page online, it was after months of self-study, and only three weeks before my scheduled LSAT. I started with a 160 diagnostic, and was aiming for at least a 164 on the test. I was extremely stressed about hitting that mark, and my scores were inconsistent - especially in Logic Games. I only scheduled three sessions with Mitchell, two hours a week, but the strategies he taught me were invaluable. I learned new ways of approaching the question types, which really helped with “strengthen/weaken” Logical Reasoning questions and Logic Games. The Logic Games strategies I learned brought me from -7/8 on Games to a consistent -0. As well, Mitchell taught me how to approach the test as a whole - how to study the week before, what to do the day before, how to prep for technical difficulties, and so on. Mitchell was kind and helpful - although I made mistakes frequently in our sessions, he was understanding and happy to review without being belittling or condescending. Ultimately, the strategies Mitchell helped me to learn allowed me to exceed not only my goal score, but also each of my practice scores, ending up with a 176 on the exam.
