Highlights
Class started with a general discussion about Logical Reasoning. Ben answered questions about how to predict answers, how to review your mistakes, and whether to keep a wrong answer journal. We also discussed the difference between necessary and sufficient assumptions and necessary and sufficient conditions.
We reviewed all nine LR questions on the syllabus. These included Supported, Must Be True, Weaken, Parallel Flaw, Strengthen, and Necessary Assumption questions. Ben offered advice to a student who struggles with “overthinking” easy questions. He also encouraged students to resist diagramming and try to understand intuitively why arguments are flawed.

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's class was my first official one with the Demon and I LOVED it. I thought the class was very well structured and the explanations Ben gave were very helpful.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.Goddess X
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.Priya K.
Fun class! Lots of helpful information packed into an hour and a half without feeling boring or draining.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.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.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.Sam C.
Ben demonstrates the Demon thinking style. I tend to forget to slow down. It is good to witness the expert in action.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.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.Anonymous
Ben’s class was super helpful! I enjoyed walking through the thought process and being able to discuss questions in real-time.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.
