Highlights
Ben chatted with students about the Review Inbox feature of the Demon before we started Logical Reasoning questions. He gave tips on how to find what’s wrong with an argument before looking at answer choices. Today’s questions showed that improving on the LSAT requires finding the gaps between premises and conclusions.
The Advice Columnist question showed us a type of invalid argument common to the LSAT. It led to a classroom discussion about the need to weigh both pros and cons to evaluate a normative conclusion. We saw several LR question types—both passage driven and answer driven—in class today. Ben helped students spot common flaws and gave tips on eliminating answer choices quickly.

The LSAT will make sense when you start focusing on one question at a time—do the question, review it, learn it. You got this.
Students love Ben!

Ben demonstrates the Demon thinking style. I tend to forget to slow down. It is good to witness the expert in action.Anonymous

Ben is an exceptional teacher. His explanations for each of the problem sets were very in-depth. I personally find his classes very insightful. With that being said-Sign up! The live course are worth every penny.Anonymous
Ben is funny and explains the material in a straightforward way that is easy to understand. I enjoy the structure of his class. He recently started using breakout rooms and I find that really helpful.Priya K.
Fun class! Lots of helpful information packed into an hour and a half without feeling boring or draining.Anonymous
Ben is great. I really enjoy how he communicates with students and gives thoughtful advice. I've been understanding so much more why I shouldn't do the things I used to do when he explains things a different way than what I am used to using prior LSAT prep.Mike E.
Ben's great! I really like hearing his thoughts as he reads through the passage - it helps me know how I should be thinking and how I should be slowing down as well.Anonymous
Ben's class is fantastic, as he effectively walks you through each answer choice to explain why each one is right/wrong. Questions and thought processes are encouraged, and it really is a supportive environment just meant to help you learn and succeed.Ethan A.
Ben is seriously the best. Listening to his thought process on each passage, question and answer choice is helpful and insightful. He is also hilarious and makes the LSAT feel easy.Michelle F.
Really helpful class and Ben was really patient with us which is really appreciated. Reviewing worlds with Ben made me realize to stop freaking out and don't be scared to fail.Nina R.
I don't usually get to attend Ben's classes due to schedule conflicts, but I finally got the opportunity to today and I'm glad that I did! Ben is great at translating complicated LR questions sentence-by-sentence and clearly walking us through his thought process. His class reminds us to slow down and process each piece of the argument carefully. I also like the class structure and found it helpful to attempt sets of LR questions independently before doing a thorough review with Ben and peers.
