The Talented Mr. Beer
Posted by Cory@manhattanlsat.com in LSAT Fun, Manhattan LSAT Announcements on March 21st, 2011
Tools of the Trade
At Manhattan LSAT we are constantly swelling with pride over the achievements of our instructors. If you’ve ever spoken with us about them, you’ve probably noticed that we fancy them quite a bit! We’re lucky to have so many incredibly intelligent, talented, and downright fascinating individuals on our team.
A recent example of our collective Manhattan LSAT-instructor-coolness takes us deep in to the world of metaphor and rhyme. John Beer, a Manhattan LSAT teacher in Chicago, has recently been given the Norma Farber First Book Award for his book, The Waste Land And Other Poems, The Norma Farber Award is given annually to one exceptional poet who has published their first book of original American poetry. John will be traveling to New York City in April to accept the award.
I’ve been treating myself to a healthy sized sample of these poems for the last week or so and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
There is even an entire section toward the end of the book called “Sonnets to Morpheus”. Yep, that’s a Matrix reference!
We’re so incredibly proud of John. I would encourage any of you who are interested in poetry to check out his book, available on Amazon.
Harvard’s Stephen Burt has written a review of The Waste Land And Other Poems for bostonreview.net (scroll down a little ways until you see John’s name in the subheading)
LSAT Study Groups (Stop Playing Games with Yourself)
Posted by noah@manhattanlsat.com in LSAT Gossip, Manhattan LSAT Announcements on March 8th, 2011
Our last self-study group continue to do logic games together, years later.
Man is a social animal. And women are too, but more polite usually. And thus it makes sense that you might be hankering for a group to study with. Let’s face it: the LSAT might not make you feel so good about yourself, especially if it’s forcing you into a dark cave of untamed intellectual training. Have no fear. We’re psyched to put you in touch with some other LSAT geeks and let you get your prep on together.
We’re starting up a group in a weekend or two. You’ll all meet in an online classroom on Sundays (or more often if you like), work on assigned problems together, and one of our teachers will come and help out the group every few sessions.
This might be the motivation you’re looking for. (Or, perhaps this is how you’ll find your soul mate. And, if you do end up hooking up with someone in a serious way, bravo – you took LSAT prep to a whole new level – and you need to invite us to the wedding if you can get over your fear of commitment.) One of the benefits of this arrangement is that you end up having to explain ideas to other students (that’s a part of our classes as well).The other is that you are more likely to do the work if there’s a group that’s going to cheer you – or give you an awkward silence when you haven’t done squat.
We’ll assign you some HW, we’ll toss your group some surprise problems to work on, and we’ll mail out stickers (no, we won’t – grow up).
If you want to join up – shoot an e-mail to studentservices(@)manhattanlsat.com and we’ll plug you in.
It’s going to be fun – and serious. And free to anyone who owns a shred of one of our books, self-study courses, or is a course student. Buckle up.
The New Manhattan LSAT Logical Reasoning Guide is Out!
Posted by noah@manhattanlsat.com in Manhattan LSAT Announcements on February 14th, 2011
It's Big, and it's Not Yellow
You’re going to love it. Take a look at how much we love it:
If you bought our last Logical Reasoning Guide after December 15, 2010, we’ll happily replace the book with a new one so that you can join in the Manhattan LSAT logical reasoning jamboree. If you bought it at a bookstore, send us the receipt, if you bought it through us, just e-mail us the shipping address to use.
Woo-hoo! We like big ducks.
The LSAT Scores Are In!
Posted by Cory@manhattanlsat.com in Manhattan LSAT Announcements on January 10th, 2011
I NAILED the logic games!!
As I am sure all of the December LSAT takers are keenly aware of, the LSAC has recently released the scores from the December exam. Took them long enough, right?
Despite our best efforts to lobby the LSAC to present the scores to each recipient the way Olympic Figure Skating scores are shown (you know, complete with flowers, teddy bears, applause from adoring fans, etc.), the reality of getting your score back often differs from our gold medal fantasy.
Perhaps along with a standing ovation you were expecting a better score. Fear not, we are here to help. Attend our free online Review Class in which two of our 99th percentile instructors will review some of the tougher Logic Games from the exam, teach helpful strategies for solving such ridiculous questions, and go over the options available to those of you considering whether or not to re-take the LSAT exam (and here’s a discussion of whether to re-take in February to get you thinking ahead of time). If you were less than satisfied with your score, canceled your score, or are curious about a few of the harder questions from the Dec. 2010 exam (i.e. you’re a fellow geek), this online workshop is where you need to be tomorrow night.
Unlike the Olympics, the free Review Class will be held online, so it is not necessary for you to be located in a certain geography to attend. For more information, please click here. Hope to see you there!
Atlas LSAT is becoming Manhattan LSAT!
Posted by noah@manhattanlsat.com in Manhattan LSAT Announcements on October 6th, 2010
On October 11th, Atlas LSAT will officially become Manhattan LSAT!
Why the change?
Several years ago, Manhattan GMAT created a sister company to tackle the LSAT. To ensure that this new company developed its own reputation and developed its own LSAT-specific program, it was decided to run this new company separately and give it a distinct name. Atlas is all grown up now and is ready to take its place alongside Manhattan GMAT. We’ve also launched Manhattan GRE , and with three related companies it makes sense for us to have a shared name so people know who we are.
What’s going to change:
• Our name
• Our logo
• Our e-mails (studentservices@manhattanlsat.com, for example)
• Our website address (though we’ll automatically re-direct you to our new site, so no worries if your fingers memorized “www.atlaslsat.com”)
What’s not going to change:
• Our focus on great teaching.
• Our LSAT-specific curriculum.
• Our LSAT-specific audition and training program.
• Your account login, your access to all of our awesome online resources.
• Our telephone number: 646-254-6480
Thanks to everyone who has been a fan of our company and referred us to their friends – and we appreciate you switching over with us to the new name. It’ll be sad to lose the cool almost-anagram of Atlas LSAT, but we’re excited to officially join the Manhattan prep family.

Breaking the LSAT Arcade
Posted by noah@manhattanlsat.com in LSAT Arcade on July 23rd, 2010
Some students treat their LSAT prep like a side gig – dipping their toe once or twice a week. Others dive in, with their clothes on. I now speak of Derek – who’s set up a blog post to record his travels through LSAT land. And yesterday, he posted this about his latest conquest with the LSAT Arcade:
That’s the first game-breaker we’ve seen (other than from our geeky curriculum developers who spent hours playing each game).
Break-away, Derek! Break-away!
(but which game was this?)
A New LSAT Video Game
Posted by noah@manhattanlsat.com in LSAT Arcade, Manhattan LSAT Announcements on July 6th, 2010
Finally, Mario Brothers meets LSAC. It’s here, it’s funny-looking, it’s full of really tough questions, it’s the Atlas LSAT Arcade! Take a look and have fun.
Can You Unlock the Dragon? (or the Mixer?)
Congrats to all the teachers, developers and web-savy folks who put lots of sweat into this game – it’s a beauty! We’ll talk more about how to use it as part of your prep – it’s not just for kicks…
Waiting For Your June LSAT Score!?
Posted by noah@manhattanlsat.com in LSAT Arcade, LSAT Gossip, Manhattan LSAT Announcements on June 25th, 2010
The Wait
If you’re already trying to figure out whether to re-take, take a look at a discussion of the re-take issues or marvel at our re-take flowchart – a true breakthrough in flowchart technology.
While you’re waiting I suggest you sign-up for our review the June LSAT workshop. The workshop will include:
- A review of one or two logic games.
- A review of several logical reasoning questions and a lesson on improving your approach.
- A discussion of your re-take options.
- A special test-analysis spreadsheet – one of our LSAT trackers – to help you analyze your results to identify your strengths and weaknesses.
Our fingers are crossed for you!

New Atlas LSAT classroom in New York City
Posted by noah@manhattanlsat.com in Manhattan LSAT Announcements on May 10th, 2010
For those of you reading this blog from outside of NYC, you may not know how big a deal real estate is in NY, but suffice it to say that it is completely common to ask a near-perfect stranger what she pays for rent. It’s sort of a shared burden, so why not ask? Thus we’re very excited that we now have a great new class space! And it just the right size for our classes — enough to keep 18 students in LSAT-blissdom. (Don’t ask about the rent though!).
There’s no place like home…
