One of the first decisions you’ll have to make is which course schedule to select. Don’t worry – if you start with a certain course schedule and find out it doesn’t work for you, you can always change your mind later. This document should help you to make an informed choice about which schedule to choose and what factors to consider. You’ll have the same access and resources, regardless of the course schedule you select.

Use this checklist to help you decide on a schedule or read further for more details.

A once a week class is a good fit if:

A twice a week class is a good fit if:

  • You have a busy schedule outside of your LSAT preparation (work, college, etc) but can dedicate 10-12 hours per week to LSAT preparation.

  • You learn best with a schedule that is more spaced out.

  • Your target test date is 4 months or more from the beginning of their LSAT preparation.

  • You will have enough time in your schedule to dedicate 20-25 hours a week to LSAT preparation.

  • You learn best with full immersion over a short but intense period of time.

  • Your target test date is fewer than 4 months away.

Once a week course

Blueprint utilizes a flipped classroom model of instruction in which you’ll do some work before attending each class and then use what you’ve learned from your pre-work to practice during class with our LSAT expert instructors. To accomplish this, you’ll need to plan for roughly three times as much time outside of class as you spend in class. This will vary somewhat week-to-week, and remember that during some weeks you will also have a practice exam. You can see a sample week below where between Lesson 3 and Lesson 4 you would have 5 hours of out-of-class work. (Don’t worry, you still get to plan your days off!)

Twice a week course

Some students may want to choose a class that operates on a more accelerated schedule that meets twice a week. Because these classes feature the same amount of work to do over a shorter timespan, it means there is more work to do each week. Just as with a once-a-week class, plan to spend roughly three times as much time doing LSAT work outside of class as you spend in class. This will vary somewhat week-to-week, and you’ll also be taking practice exams regularly later in the course. You can see a sample schedule below. Notice that each day has more work due to the accelerated nature of the course schedule. You still get to plan your days off, and if you stay disciplined and on track, you’ll reach LSAT mastery in half the time!

Switching courses

Whichever course you choose, Blueprint makes it free and easy to switch between class schedules if your needs necessitate doing so.
