Testimonials

Dave's course was exactly what I needed to improve my LSAT score. First off, his videos are very, very entertaining: so much so that I never really felt like I was actually "studying." But even more importantly, Dave's course helps you understand the LSAT and all of its little nuances. With his help, I was able to score a 172 and will be applying to...

I can't thank Dave enough for all the help he provided me throughout this whole process. The thing I loved most about Velocity was Dave's individualized approach to helping each student with their specific needs; he took the time to work with me personally and give me drills to do to hone in on my weaknesses, which ended up increasing my score dramatically. It...

No doubt your program, materials and 'eye of the fucking tiger' attitude helped me make at least a 10 point jump. The LSAT was an enormous psychological hurdle for me. I was really bummed at my low starting score. I felt defeated and like I wasn't smart enough to beat it. Your program allowed me to be calm but fierce and steadily work towards performing...
Amber K.
I distinctly remember clicking "play" on my first video lesson. Within two minutes I thought to myself - "I'm going to be writing a testimonial when all of this is said and done". Ten weeks and 10-point improvement later I'm proud to be convey this to all who are reading. Dave Hall will get you where you want to be. His teaching style is...
Gabe G.
Dave is the best - there is no one out there that can compete! I used various course materials prior to finding Dave & there is just nothing that comes even close to Dave's way of teaching. I wasn't able to truly 'get' the LSAT until finding Velocity - I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to really master the test!
Anya
Reading Comprehension was my big weakness. On the October 2012 LSAT, I missed 7 RC questions. I was crushed, because my Logic Games and Logical Reasoning sections were stellar. RC was costing me my dream. Then, I got Dave. His RC system broke everything down to idiot-proof levels. I went into my retake test confident and walked out with a 177. I couldn't be...

I chose Velocity LSAT because with a full time job and a busy lifestyle, there was no way I could allocate time for a traditional classroom LSAT prep course. Furthermore Velocity is priced much more competitively than other services, but all that aside the most important reason I recommend Velocity LSAT is because it is effective. If you do the work and follow the...

I just want to say that before Velocity, I was facing an abyss. After taking another company’s course and putting months of training in, I scored a 158. Dave’s course took complex concepts and made them easy to understand. In games, instead of magical inferences, Velocity provided a systematic approach that works for any game the LSAT could throw at me. In the end...

Dave turns the LSAT from an arduous 600 page novel, into an easy to read children’s book. His Velocity program allows the average person to see clear patterns, which allows anyone at any level to answer all questions with efficiency and accuracy. I, myself, raised my score by 22 points, and I owe it all to Dave.
Joel T.
I feel so lucky that I found the Velocity system. Since the class, I have enthusiastically recommended Dave to anyone who aspires to apply to law school-- there's just no comparison. In the beginning, the LSAT was so puzzling to me, specifically the games section, and after the course I had an arsenal of strategies to tackle each section. I am no longer in fear of...

Not only is Dave Hall an amazing LSAT teacher, he is a great mentor and has helped me throughout the entire process of applying to law school. He made learning the LSAT fun, understandable, and interesting while offering a tangible method to beat the test. In my opinion, Dave's methods are easy to implement and with enough practice anyone can achieve a 170+ score...
NB
Dave is ridiculously talented and his efficient explanations are second to none. I'm a little bit less of a "bookworm" than your typical LSAT taker so his simplistic, straightforward, "guy at the end of the bar" way of describing these seemingly complex concepts is spot on for my style.
Kyle M.
Deciding to retake and signing up for Velocity is probably one of the best decisions I ever made. In the past, I would miss ~4 answers between the LR and RC sections combined, but score < 171 because of getting ~9 LG wrong. The LG course was great for me. It really taught me to internalize the patterns of the games and to methodically attack the section. Even...

With Velocity LSAT and a lot of work, LG finally clicked for me. I scored a 176!

I got a 172 and so can you! Dave is the man to show you how. Dave's developed a unique set of skills which allows him to break down the LSAT in all of its gargantuan complexity into simple bite-sized pieces. His approach is disciplined, methodical, effective and instantly accesible. Every thousand mile journey starts with a single step. Do the right thing, sign up...

I would describe Dave Hall as the Jedi Master of LSAT prep instructors. He is wise, insightful, an incredible teacher and yes he can move objects with the Force.
