Highlights
Today’s class covered three sets of Logical Reasoning questions. Ben demonstrated how to answer Necessary Assumption questions by treating them like Must Be Trues—no “assumption negations” required. He explained that the order of premises and conclusions isn’t important on Parallel Reasoning questions—it’s the relationship between the ideas that matter. He also clarified that “overlooking the possibility” of a necessary assumption is never a flaw.

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.

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.Anonymous
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.Amrita A.
Ben makes the LSAT seem easy! Thank you for a wonderful class!Thomas C.
The class was great. Ben is so smart in how he attacks each question. It was so helpful to see his thinking process live as he read each LR stimulus and corresponding answer choices. His critical mindset of the author was something I have not been doing enough of.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.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.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.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.Elesia S.
I really appreciate the time Ben takes to teach. I love hearing his inner monologue as he works through questions. It's incredibly helpful and validating. His classes have completely shifted my mindset about the LSAT.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 was super helpful! I enjoyed walking through the thought process and being able to discuss questions in real-time.Priya K.
Fun class! Lots of helpful information packed into an hour and a half without feeling boring or draining.Sam C.
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 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.
