Search this thread, I probably posted it before.

IIRC, 1/3 of Fisch students scored in the 170's when I was taking the test.

That number is mind blowing... I know.
Found it... Not a bad memory after all

I once heard 1/3 of his students score in he 170's no other program can even touch that number.

Can be true but you need to look at who is taking each course and see where they would end up if they took the other course instead. I think the average Fisch student is far ahead of the average Kaplan student.

Yeshiva guys specifically (which made up a majority of my course IIRC) have a leg up on the LSAT IMO. (This definitely does not translate into a leg up in law school or later on as some like to think - e.g. my yeshivish friend who asked me if my law school classmates are able to say a "glatte svara"- but for the LSAT it works since we are trained to think in that way.)

No doubt there are other factors, also someone willing to pay $2,500 is clearly more motivated that a yokel taking the LSAT for kicks. But 1/3 in the 170's speaks for itself.

Or they have rich parents, which is too often the case.  Parents want their kid to be x, but kid has no interest. 


Fisch is way to go.  He is fully remote now.  I improved from 130s to NYU with $ (those days a 166 did it!).  He has so many interesting tips and tricks: like recording yourself after reading a LR stimulus and seeing if you remember the main point and then going to the questions using this memory, rather than glancing back at the stimulus).  Not sure that "regiment" is his selling point.  He is a master at helping on LG, but not so much RC (and he admits this is very difficult to teach/improve on). 

He is a teacher's teacher, but I don't think he'll baby you and he is not very good at getting back to people via email/once the course is done, you're basically on your own type of thing, which I do not blame him for.  You need to put in work on your won, so maybe that's what someone meant by regimented.  LSAT is a FT job.  Period.

FYI here's an AMA he did on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/ulze4x/hi_rlsat_i_have_45_minutes_free_to_answer_anyones/

Also happy to chat with anyone who is looking for jobs (biglaw or whatever).  Prelaw too!

Does anyone have any recommendations for an admissions consultant?
Thank you

They say Spivey is the best. Wtvr you end up dong make sure you get someone with actual admissions experience, not someone who just read all of TLS and reddit and claims to know everything. Many ppl will be happy to take your money and its hard to know how m uch value they are providing.
