STEPS provides highly advanced strategies and insights developed by Jay Cutts over 24 years of private LSAT coaching. The fee for the STEPS to the LSAT book completely covers access to the full STEPS to the LSAT test prep program. After purchasing the book, you can register online at no additional charge for access to all of the other features in the STEPS program. These include: * A Buddy System (mutual, peer support with another student) * LSAT Solution of the Week - A full explanation of how to apply the Barron's strategies to a specific, actual LSAT question * A library of in-depth explanations of actual LSATs by Jay Cutts.

STEPS is guided by a national advisory board including current and past prelaw advisors and law professors. Our mission is to make high quality LSAT prep available at an affordable cost to all students, including those from underrepresented populations. The strategies included in the STEPS program are those that we have found from experience are most helpful for students who may be struggling with the test, for example peer support and a highly specific study plan. The fee for the STEPS to the LSAT book fully covers enrollment in the STEPS to the LSAT program. STEPS students must also purchase the Barron's LSAT Prep Book and will most likely need to buy some of the actual LSAT exams from Law Services. The fee for STEPS does not include any tutoring or coaching with a live person, including by phone, chat, or email. The LSAT is built on specific patterns. The STEPS program teaches these patterns, along with the strategies for dealing with them. The beginning student often finds that there are two answers to a question that seem indistinguishable. In fact, one answer contains a fatal flaw. One of the most important strategies for the LSAT is learning to find that flaw. Timing strategy is critical for a strong score. Completing all the questions in the allotted time is usually NOT the way to get the most points. STEPS teaches and reviews the most effective timing strategy. STEPS includes all of the unique, advanced strategies developed by Jay Cutts over 24 years. An independent, professional Reading Comp specialist described our approach to the RC section as "the most effective approach I've ever read. My score improved after reading it." If/then logic is typically a stumbling block for many students. STEPS teaches an extremely simple three step approach for clearly understanding any if/then argument. The STEPS teaches a highly systematic approach Analytical Reasoning (Games), as most students, when stumped, "stab in the dark." The STEPS approach condenses systematic logical problem-solving into a simple two-pronged strategy. The Logical Reasoning is the heart of the LSAT, comprising two sections. The key to LR is a logical problem-solving tool called the Adversarial Approach, which teaches students how to uncover the strengths and weaknesses of each answer choice quickly and accurately.
