An incredibly grateful student
GBFrom 140s to 99th percentile score: thanks Golden LSAT! Nearly a year ago, I started with a diagnostic in the 140s and using another test prep company/tutor was able to record my first official score in the mid-160s However, I still didn’t feel like the exam had fully “clicked” for me. After doing extensive research on tutors and different test prep companies, I stumbled across Mitchell’s AMAs on Reddit. Larger test prep companies, like the one I used, rely on too many gimmicks or shortcuts that actually make the LSAT more complicated than it needs to be. Mitchell’s AMAs exposed me to a more practical and intuitive approach to the LSAT. I knew I wanted him in my corner as I ramped up for a re-take! While working with Mitchell for just under 3 months, I was able to move my practice exams scores to the mid-170s, even notching my first 180! On the June exam, I scored a 174 official score. Mitchell’s approach to the exam is fundamentally different than other test prep entities. Using helpful analogies, intuitive strategies, and even connecting back the exam to basic reading/analytical skills (that are SO relevant for law school), he made the test both fun and rewarding. Not to mention, Mitchell really helped me get into the mindset of what it means to be a high scorer. On top of all of this, he’s incredibly thoughtful, flexible, and accessible. His primary goal is your success, not a paycheck. The cost: For many of you, a point of hesitation might be the cost (and it certainly was for me). As someone who works full-time, I allocated a larger than expected portion of my paycheck towards LSAT prep. The moment I logged onto LSAC and saw the 174, I knew it was worth it. Fortunately, this score places me at or above nearly every schools’ median. This not only means I have a shot at some of the best law schools in the country, but also great scholarship offers. In short, if you can afford it, don’t hesitate, especially if you’re just starting. If you can’t afford it, Mitchell’s AMA’s are still a great resource and even a consultation call with him can help you learn how a 180-scorer approaches the exam. THANK YOU MITCH AND GOLDEN LSAT!

GBFrom 143 to 165 (EXCELLENT LOGIC GAMES METHOD) For over 6 months, I struggled to reach a score above the low 140s. I studied with BluePrint (a bleak experience) and desperately needed a change. Than I found Mitchell on Reddit. After a quick phone call with him, I signed up for multiple sessions, and I saw my test scores rise from the 140s to the 150s and finally to the 160s. By the June 2023 LSAT, I achieved a score of 165, after previously scoring 143 and 146. I credit this jump to his method and teaching. It was a struggle, and there is no substitute for steady, consistent work, but Mitchell's highly personalized coaching and constant availability made the whole process so much easier. I cannot stress enough how superior the experience was compared to the depersonalized approach of the major prep companies. Mitchell knows how to motivate you when you need it, yet he also knows when to slow down and take a more patient approach. He never overburdens you with fancy concepts or long-winded study sessions (like the big prep companies do); instead, mental health and rest are prioritized. I found his teaching style versatile and well-suited to a broad range of students -- from slow learners to fast ones, and I definitely consider myself a slow learner! But what took Mitchell's tutoring to the next level was his strategy for Logic Games. The beauty lay in its simplicity and replicability, factors that propelled me to the mid-160s in just a few months. Soon, I was reaching nearly 100% accuracy in Logic Games, which gave me tons of breathing room with Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. And the best part was that I was actually studying for far fewer hours compared to my time with Blueprint! Overall, I highly recommend studying with Mitchell. He is an excellent teacher AND friend, and I say this from the heart.

GBIncredible Tutoring! Mitchell helped me improve my LSAT score from the low 160s to the high 160s after working with him for several months. He always had new approaches to working on challenging sections or questions, and they were tailored to fit my own struggles with the exam. I really enjoyed working with Mitchell and would highly recommend him to others looking for a very personalized, effective approach to improving your LSAT score.

GBMitchell is the best!! Mitchell is the absolute best! He is very thorough and teaches you in whatever way is best for you. He’s very patient, flexible, and makes it enjoyable to learn. He guided me to a huge percentile gain, a 19% gain to be exact! I had tried LSATmax before seeing Mitchell, but the only thing that helped raise my score was Mitchell’s teaching methods. Mitchell made sure to teach in a way where I would learn, versus LSATmax is for the collective. One thing that Mitchell had me do was keep a log of my work. It was the best thing for me as it helped me see my day to day improvements, as well as identifying my problem areas. Mitchell is a friendly smile that makes studying for the LSAT more enjoyable. He is an intelligent individual that is eager to help others be successful.

GBHis last name says it all Before working with Mitch, I was unorganized and inconsistent in my LSAT approach. Through a course of a year and a half, Mitch helped me change my thought process and create a unified routine of work, study, and execution. Mitch’s unique process is indicative in the fact that my initial LSAT score went from a 138 to a 153. This jump of 15 points is a direct correlation from the teachings and self-practice that Mitch would assign, and teach me how to execute. Numbers aside, Mitch became a friendly face and I enjoyed meeting with him. Whether it be through sports, video games, or some other topic, I found him demonstrating LSAT techniques through references I was already familiar with to the point that I would hear his voice in my head while taking exams…in a good way. Through our combined effort and Mitch’s guidance, I have been accepted into Chapman University’s Fowler School of Law and am currently on the waitlist at UC Hastings School of Law. From personal experience, I believe Mitch to be an outstanding LSAT tutor, mentor, and friend and I would highly recommend him for the LSAT exam preparation and essay advice when applying to law school.
