If you're a Cambridge student planning to take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), Manhattan Review is here to help you achieve the score you need to make your law school dreams a reality. No two students learn in exactly the same way. Many students do perfectly well in a group setting, enjoying the sense of comradery and using others' questions as a springboard for increasing their knowledge. Other students, however, know they learn best in an environment where they are able to go at their own pace, focusing on the aspects of test preparation that are most challenging to them individually, without the distractions posed by a classroom-style format. If you know one-on-one attention is the most effective way for you to grasp and retain information, contact us today to learn more about our LSAT private tutoring options.

The LSAT is purposefully designed to assess the skills required for the first year of law school. These skills include reading comprehension, reasoning, and writing. LSAT scores fall in a range between 120 to 180, with the median score being approximately 152. A median score, however, will not be enough to secure acceptance to a top-tier law school, and competitive scores generally fall in the 160s to 170s. The Law School Admission Council (LSAC) is the organization responsible for the administration of the LSAT, and they regularly track and report statistical information about those who take the test, analyzing their information as a whole while also dividing test-takers into subgroups. According to the LSAC, among the most respected law schools, successful applicants have an LSAT score in the 170s. In order to be competitive for the highest-ranking law schools, it is necessary to do well on the LSAT. We at Manhattan Review can help you master all sections of the test, improving your reading comprehension and reasoning abilities while also strengthening your critical writing skills.

When you choose to work with a private tutor, you allow yourself to prepare for the LSAT at times that are most convenient for you.

Meet a Cambridge LSAT Tutor: Christine P.

Christine P. has always loved words, fascinated by them since an early age. "I was constantly reading as a child, and I remember being fascinated by how so many people could use the same basic words but convey such incredibly different meanings." Christine enjoyed writing her own short stories, which she shared with her family, and she found herself drawn to the rules of grammar, "which was, admittedly, not something most tween girls were into," she recalls with a smile. In high school, Christine worked her way up from contributing reporter to editor of the entire newspaper, and also worked as one of three editors on the yearbook. She won countless awards for her essays and research papers, and it wasn't long before she found herself tutoring her friends in the finer points of writing in the English language. 

Christine grew up in Chicago and thanks to her hard work and dedication (and an impressive SAT score), she was accepted at the University of Chicago, graduating with a degree in English with a focus on journalism, arts, and media. During a seminar her sophomore year, Christine had the chance to attend a lecture by a visiting professor who was also a lawyer and specialized in contract negotiation. Christine was riveted to learn there was a job that revered words as much as she did. "That's when I knew I wanted to be a lawyer…not the kind who argued in a courtroom, but someone behind the scenes, ensuring everyone is happy with a document." Christine had continued to work part-time as a tutor in the learning center during undergrad, but now she shifted her attention to being tutored herself, working with a private tutor through Manhattan Review to prepare for the LSAT. "I don't get stressed out by standardized tests," she admits, "but I struggle with pacing. Sometimes I get so caught up in what I'm reading or what I think the words are saying, I lose track of time, and you can't do well on a test like the LSAT if you don't answer questions because you ran out of time." Christine's focus and persistence were rewarded with offers of admission to numerous top-tier law schools, and she ultimately chose to attend Columbia University, recognized around the world for their contracts and commercial law program.

After graduating from Columbia, Christine was offered a job with a firm in the Cambridge area, and while the work was challenging, she appreciated the flexibility the position offered, frequently allowing her to work from home. "A lot of contract law is just emailing documents back and forth until clients are satisfied," she shares, "and I found myself looking for ways to connect with others in the legal field, particularly those just getting started or hoping to get started." With years of both informal and formal tutoring behind her, Christine became an immediate asset when she joined the Manhattan Review Cambridge team in 2018. Those students she works with through private tutoring are impressed by her attention to detail and her techniques for helping them understand exactly what a question is asking or presenting. When she isn't guiding future lawyers through comprehensive and effective LSAT preparation, Christine enjoys visiting family back in Chicago, snowboarding with friends up and down the East Coast, and completing crossword puzzles.
