I scored a 175 on the LSAT® in ten weeks, without a $10,000 course.
Now I'm teaching you exactly how I did it — the same method, the same drills, the same patterns — without the gap year, the fear-mongering, or the price tag.

Scared students buy $10,000 courses. Scared students take gap years. Scared students hire tutors at $365 an hour and re-sign every quarter. Fear is the business model for these big companies — it isn't mine.
What they want you to believe
- You need 12–18 months of study to be "competitive"
- You can't do it without a $5K–$15K course
- You should take a gap year to "really focus"
- It's 170 or your career is over
- The LSAT® measures something deep about you
- The system is too complex to figure out alone
What's actually true
- I did it in roughly ten weeks while in school
- I spent $0 on tutoring or prep companies
- Gap years are a luxury sold as a necessity
- ~1% of test-takers hit 170. Stop pretending it's normal.
- It's a learnable test. Not a measure of your worth.
- It's a pattern. I cracked it. I wrote it down.
I'm Ava. I'm a college student who beat the LSAT® industry at its own game.
Two and a half months of self-study. Zero dollars on tutoring. A score in the top 1%. And, somewhere along the way, a quiet decision that I wasn't going to let the next pre-law student get scared into spending $10,000 on the same fear-marketed prep courses I refused to buy.
How a remote proctor and five unanswered questions accidentally started this whole thing.
The first time I took the LSAT®, I got locked out of my own test with five questions left on the screen.
Six hours of staring at a monitor. A proctor who treated me like a cheater. Tech glitches that ate my final section. By the end of it I was on the phone with my parents trying not to cry, telling them I'd just thrown away months of work because some software couldn't keep me logged in.
I was crushed. My dad told me not to give up, but I had been trying to log back in for hours. I knew it was over.
What I didn't know — and what the LSAT® corporation doesn't exactly advertise — was that I could request a retest. Two days later I was sitting in an in-person testing center down the street, having done zero additional prep, because I'd already burned through every drop of stress I had. I told myself: whatever happens, it can't be worse than Friday.
My retest was a breeze by comparison. The proctors treated me like a human being. I had minutes to spare on every section. I went home, didn't think about it, and a couple weeks later, I woke up to a notification that scores had been released.
Here's what nobody tells you about that score: I'm not a genius. I'm not a "natural test-taker." I went to a normal college, I have a normal brain, and I had a normal amount of time. What I had was a method — one I'd reverse-engineered from scratch over about ten weeks while everyone around me was telling me it couldn't be done that way.
And after I got the score, the strangest thing happened. A family friend — the kind of helicopter parent with a pre-law daughter who'd been white-knuckling this stuff for years — reached out and told me I should go work for one of those big LSAT® companies. They'd "pay me well," she said. They'd "open doors."
But that's not my way.
I'd just spent ten weeks watching the entire prep industry try to scare me out of doing exactly what I ended up doing. Why would I go work for them? Why would I help them tell another generation of pre-law students that the only way through this test is the most expensive, slowest, most fear-soaked way possible?
So instead, I wrote down everything I did. Every framework. Every drill. Every shortcut. Every "wait, that actually worked?" moment. I built it into a course, a community, a study tracker, and a weekly live session with me — the whole system I wish I'd had when I started.
It's called The 175 Method. And right now, I'm accepting new students.
The three foundations that turn the LSAT® from a wall into a pattern.
The 175 Method isn't a pile of tricks or a 600-page logic textbook. It's three things the prep companies won't teach you — because if they did, you wouldn't need them.
Reading Endurance: The skill nobody calls a skill.
Here's the thing nobody in the prep industry will tell you: the LSAT® isn't really a logic test. It's a reading test wearing a logic costume. Logical reasoning, reading comprehension — the entire exam is built on your ability to read carefully, sustain focus, and not lose the thread on dense text for hours at a time. That's it. That's the whole game.
Most students never train this directly. They drill question types, memorize logic rules, hammer flashcards. None of it builds the underlying skill the test is actually measuring. I'll show you the exact reading habit I used — yes, it involves fiction, and yes, that sounds counterintuitive — that built my focus from "phone-scrolling teenager" to "four full sections without flinching." This is the move that quietly does more for your score than any tactic in the major prep books.
Banana Split Sentences: Translating LSAT® into English.
LSAT® sentences are designed to feel impossible. They're written in a deliberately tangled academic register, packed with qualifiers and double negatives and clauses inside clauses inside clauses. The first time you see one, your brain just slides off. That's by design.
Once you know how to break them down — literally how to translate LSAT-speak into plain English, one chunk at a time — the "hard" questions stop being hard. They become easy questions disguised in expensive-sounding language. This is the core decoding move that changed my score the most, and it's the thing my students mention first when I ask what clicked.
Pattern Recognition: Stop solving. Start recognizing.
Big prep companies will hand you a 200-page rulebook to memorize. Conditional logic, contrapositives, formal logic notation, an entire vocabulary of terms you'll never use anywhere else in your life. I'm going to hand you four patterns instead.
Once you can spot them, you stop "solving" questions and start recognizing them. You see a stimulus and your brain immediately knows what kind of trap you're walking into. That's the difference between a 160 and a 170+ — not more rules, not more tricks, just the pattern recognition that comes from seeing the same shapes over and over until they're obvious. I'll teach you the shapes.

I'm not going to promise you a 175. Here's what I will promise.
The 14-Day Method Promise
If you're on the fence right now, I get it. You've probably been burned before. A course that overpromised, a tutor who charged a fortune, a stack of prep books collecting dust. So you're allowed to be skeptical.
That's exactly why this promise exists. Not as a sales tactic, but so the decision stops feeling like a gamble.
Here's how it works. Join the program. Go through your first lessons. Show up to a live session. Run the 175 Tracker on a real practice test. Actually try it, the way you'd want a student to try anything before judging it. If after 14 days you don't believe this is a smarter, calmer, more honest way to study for the LSAT® than anything else you've tried, email me and I'll refund every cent. No forms. No exit interviews. No guilt trips.
I made it this simple for one reason. The people I built this for want a better way to study, and need to test the method before they can fully commit to it. If that's you, this promise is yours. Use the 14 days to find out.
And if it turns out this isn't your way, you'll get every cent back and I'll genuinely wish you the best on test day. I'd rather have your trust than your money.
This isn't for everyone. And I'm not going to pretend it is.
If you want someone to hold your hand for 18 months, tell you you're special, and charge you $14,000 for the privilege — I am genuinely not your person. There are companies that do that. They have nicer websites than mine.
The 175 Method is for the kind of person who looks at a $10,000 prep course and thinks, "there has to be a smarter way." Who's willing to actually do the work but doesn't want to lose a year of their life doing it. Who wants the test demystified, not dramatized.
If that's you — The 175 Method is the right next step.
Straight answers from Ava.
"Why is it $1,997 when the stack is worth almost $4,000?"
Because I priced it against what it actually takes to deliver, not what the big companies think they can get away with. Blueprint runs $2,000–$4,000 for self-paced material. Kaplan in-person is $4,000+. Private tutors with a 170+ charge $300 an hour and up, which turns into five figures fast. You're getting the complete system, weekly live access to me, and the community — for less than any of those. That's the whole math.
"Are you going to promise me a 175?"
No. Anyone promising you a specific score is either lying to you or has a guarantee buried under so many conditions it might as well not exist. What I will tell you is that this is the method I used to get mine, that I'm a normal person with a normal brain, and that the framework is repeatable. Your score is on you. The method is on me.
"Two to three months — really? Be honest."
Really. I took the LSAT® in November 2025, and that was my actual prep window. I'm not selling you a story from 2018. The catch is that "two to three months" is real focused work, not casual. The course walks you through exactly what that looks like.
"What if I've already started studying or already took it once?"
Probably even more reason to join. A lot of the people I work with are retakers who did the "right thing" the first time — bought the big course, followed the schedule, plateaued anyway. Coming in with prior context usually helps you see what's been getting in your way.
"How do the weekly live sessions actually work?"
One live call a week with me, on Zoom. We work through real LSAT® questions, I clarify whatever you're stuck on, and we workshop the patterns together. If you can't make a session live, every call is recorded and posted in the community within 24 hours.
"What's the 175 Tracker?"
A web app I had built specifically for my students. You log your practice tests, and it shows you your score trend, your confidence trend, your weakest question types, and where to focus next. It's the thing I wish I'd had when I was studying on my own with a half-broken Google Sheet.
"What if it's not for me?"
You have 14 days. Go through two modules, show up to one live session, run a practice test through the tracker. If it's not the right fit, email me and I'll refund you in full. No questions asked. No "well, did you really try?" I'd rather you walk away than feel stuck.
You can keep googling. Or you can join The 175 Method.
It took me ten weeks to build this method from nothing. Most students I talk to have been "thinking about studying for the LSAT®" for months — collecting tabs, watching free YouTube videos, downloading PDFs, and not actually getting anywhere.
If that's where you are right now, I'd rather you join The 175 Method and get unstuck than keep doing what isn't working. If you're willing to do the actual work, I'll teach you everything I know.
