Q.  Do I have to purchase a minimum number of hours?
A.  No; All services/products offered by Acme LSAT Prep are offered on an "as much or as little as you need" basis.


Q.  What is your curriculum like?
A.  There is no "curriculum," unless you're starting your preparation from scratch and need a complete LSAT overview or diagnostic testing.  The overwhelming majority of people who contact us have already done some prep, and want to work on particular sections or types of questions.  The focus is 100% student-oriented: Whatever you need help on is what the time will be spent on.


Q.  I've already taken a prep course; can Acme LSAT Prep help me?
A.  Absolutely!  Most people who contact us have already taken a prep course, and are very satisfied with the advantage that Acme offers over those courses.


Q.  Friends of mine are taking prep courses with big, national prep companies; what advantages can Acme LSAT Prep offer?
A.  Where should we start?!  We're owner-operated, so there are no middlemen (independent contract tutors), thereby keeping your hourly cost far below most national prep companies.  There is no prepackaged curriculum, so you won't sit there for hours (that you've paid for!) listening to things you already know, or skipping over the things you need help with - EVERY service provided by Acme LSAT Prep is 100% geared toward what you need; Your tutor is an experienced teacher and a practicing attorney who scored in the 99th percentile on his own LSAT; Services are available in person, online, on the phone, or by E-mail, with flexible hours, and possibly even direct to your door, if you're in the Los Angeles area.  There is no mininum number of hours you must purchase to secure our below-industry hourly rate, so you can structure your study program to suit your budget.


Q.  I took a prep course, and we covered a whole ton of question types, but I'm having trouble keeping them all straight.  Can you help me with that? 
A.  Probably not (though, depending on your course, we can explain concepts within the framework you've been taught.  Our position is that understanding the structure of the arguments, and the ways in which they typically go wrong, is far more important than categorizing "question types."  For instance, a passage in which a speaker leaves out an alternative explanation could provide the basis for all sorts of question types - "Find the Flaw,"  "Hidden Assumption,"  "Strengthen the Arugment,"  "Weaken the Argument," and more.  By focusing on how arguments are set up, and how they're imperfect, you'll be well-placed to answer any type of question that might come up.


Q. I hear a lot about "examsmanship."  What's that all about?
A.  Examsmanship is a major focus of Acme LSAT Prep.  It refers to just about everything other than a straightforward working out the answer from the question - Common wrong answer types, tricks and traps, time management, guessing effectively when you have to, saving time when you can,  picking up the patterns that recur, etc.


Q.  I get a decent percentage of questions correct when I do practice tests, but I run out of time.  Can you help me with that?
A.  Definitely!  Time management is extremely important on the LSAT, and we focus not only on accuracy, but efficiency, as well.  There are definite opportunities to save time here and there on the LSAT, and those precious seconds add up.  We'll show you how to find them.


Q.  How big are the classes at Acme LSAT Prep?
A.  Generally, it's 1-on-1.  If you're preparing with a buddy, or are on a budget, 2-student sessions can be arranged at a reduced hourly rate.
