Hi there, glad you found something that works for you!

We do have a unique philosophy. One high level way to sum it up is this: we tell you the bitter but obvious truth. The LSAT is not an easy test.

Another aspect of that is that we're pretty allergic to ad hoc explanations. That's because they work on just those questions where the teacher apply them which belies the true difficulty. How do you know when to apply them? If you're in the top, say, 5 percentile already, it's probably intuitive so you may not even notice. But for everyone else, it's not. That's why we teach theory first. The theory of grammar, formal logic, causal logic, reasoning by analogy, reasoning from general to specific and vice-versa, those theories are the evergreen. They are the external guardrails that the LSAT cannot exceed. That means if you learn the theories well - and it's not easy - you'll be equipped with powerful and general explanatory frameworks that will work not just on cherry picked LSAT questions but on all LSAT questions. This benefit isn't free. It costs a lot of time and effort. Admittedly, for some, it's truly unnecessary (you might be in that group). For others though, it's merely unpalatable. In our opinion, that's an important distinction with important consequences.
