Blueprint LSAT PreparationReviews of blueprintprep.com

Great service! Surprisingly fun and very helpful online videos. Good in-person class. Practice tests and question-by-question walkthroughs are invaluable.

I felt that the live courses felt rushed. I don't feel I improved my score at all. I was truly disappointed.

ross was amazing! boosted my score by over 15 points!

I'm not sure where to put my review for Michael Moss, but he is an extremely intelligent, kind, and helpful man who is excellent at what he does. He is funny, witty, and always willing to answer questions. He deserves way more than he's getting, put in the least rude way I could. Mike if you see this man sorry for not doing the review last year here it is now!!!!! -Mateen Nozzari, 4th year undergrad Pre-Law student

Too many things to go over in such few time. Didn’t stay on one topic enough to understand.

Ross was a good instructor.

I took the live class with Blueprint in spring 2017 and really regretted it. While I really personally liked my instructor, I found most of the Blueprint methodology unhelpful. I attended every class and diagnostic test and wound up only scoring 1 point higher on the June 2017 LSAT. I wound up switching to another company (Fox LSAT) which encourages you read logical reasoning stimulus' before the question (opposite of what Blueprint teaches) and wound up scoring 8 points higher on the September 2017 LSAT. What shocked me most about the Blueprint course was the sexism that was baked into their "humorous material" in both the workbook and instructional videos. When I first mentioned the problematic material in my first survey, I emailed with a Blueprint representative who told me that Blueprint had an "edutainment" philosophy to make studying for the LSAT as stress free as possible. The intended jokes did not make studying for the LSAT stress free for me, but rather, it really bothered me, so much so, that I took time to document the questionable material. Eventually, I had to stop watching the lesson videos because it upset me. The nonchalance with which Trent and Matt (Blueprint owners) in the videos make truly damaging remarks along with the accompanying cartoons is incredibly distressing. Aside from the overt objectifying statements, anytime there is a joke or question involving a woman, the cartoon and commentary either inevitably objectified her looks, made her out to be some caricature like gold digger, routinely demeaned sex workers; if she was referred to as a child in the stimulus, she invariably became sexualized. What truly horrified me was the fact that there are several rape jokes in the lesson videos, and the callousness with which those were presented seems to be rather obtuse thinking. Considering that more women attend law school than men these days, it seems unconscionable to think why Blueprint would think it's appropriate to continuously subject its female students to such basic misogyny. To compound matters, given the overt sexist political climate we now find ourselves living in, it seems shortsighted for Blueprint to engage in this type of behavior. Aside from the sexism, the jokes just aren't funny. I'm not some overly sensitive person who can't take a joke. I'm a former film executive who has worked in comedy for years but making jokes about women or sex doesn't inherently make your material funny. In addition to the sexism in the material, it's also ethnocentric and offensive to a multitude of different ethnicities. I told you on the phone and I'll repeat it- if Blueprint wants to be the best LSAT course for white, heterosexual males, then it's achieving it's purpose quite well. And yet, the majority of my class (UCLA 2) or at least the students who attended quite regularly, were a diverse group of women. I had multiple conversations with other people in the class, both men and women, who were all surprised and uncomfortable with many of the same examples I'm detailing below. At the end of the course, I shared all of the offensive "jokes" I came across during the course with Blueprint. One of their representatives did share with me that they changed some of the graphics in one of the videos to eliminate the rape connotation. I really feel that Blueprint needs to modernize its chauvinistic style and realize that it has nothing to gain by depicting women and minorities in an offensive and stereotypical light. A few sexist Examples from Blueprint's course book and lesson videos: In a video , Matt says after listing the rules, that we have options. We can run into the questions blind (the graphic on screen is a woman in a bra and underwear running in heels, which I wrote about in it's initial usage) and get assaulted. The woman then gets bruises on her body. It is so dangerous and insulting to analogize a woman getting assaulted to that of going to the questions without making the proper deductions. Conditional statement video- Matt explains how you already use conditional statements in your life. He says "If you have a Rolls Royce then you are rich. There's a naked chick on the hood. Apparently they just come with cars when they're that expensive." Then Matt gives another example, "If you get your own reality tv show, then you have a low iq." He intentionally lists "Killing the Kardashians" and when corrected by someone off screen, he notes, "Apparently it's not called that. It must have been my own invention. But we were all thinking it." Then discusses whether the necessary condition of having a low IQ guarantees the sufficient condition of having your own reality tv show. Matt says "How about the quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mr. Ben Roethlisberger. He strongly resembles a neanderthal and doesn't have the IQ to get a girl to say yes voluntarily. Allegedly, I know." Why would joking about a serial rapist be okay?
