This book is intended to empower all students to achieve their dream scores. The lessons that follow will methodically walk you through the Ginsburg methodology for Reading Comprehension, an approach that is the product of more than 8,000 hours of one-on-one LSAT tutoring, spent largely with students navigating test anxiety and disabilities.

This book is intended to level the playing field;helping unique learners develop a mastery of the skills and competencies assessed by the Reading Comprehension section, the mindfulness to study in a healthy manner, and the confidence to excel on test day.
