Binary Solution

Excuse me Unilocal for not recommending my review? I must follow up. This course works. It. works. I was scoring in the low 50s with K**lan. After succumbing to this course, i scored a 164, the 91^st percentile and got full rides to law school. Yes, eva showed up late. Yes my hand wasn’t held throughout this course. But you know what? Eva made sure I succeeded. And any lack of hand holding only benefited me Bc I have news for everyone that is reading this review and contemplating law school. The LSAT is tough, law school is demoralizing, the Bar is an absolute mental violation… and the actual practice of law… is not for the weak and can drive you to a bottle everyday and make you second guess what the heck you are doing with your life. Eva’s and the course’s approach makes you think twice about what you’re getting yourself into. And you will be better for it. I love my life as an attorney and thank Eva for that.

I echo all of Nik B’s comments, with the modification that your score WILL increase if you accept Eva’s method. I took the September 2009 LSAT and scored a 64^th Percentile (after enrollment in Testmasters), and then took Eva from February-​June 2011. 10 point, 30 percentile jump in my score.
The point is, as Nik says, Eva’s method has serious logic to it and can work if you drop your preconceived notions about the LSAT, the method of instruction you require, and trust in her. Her and her co-​instructor were extremely available outside the classroom through phone calls, personal 1 – 1 sessions, and Webinars. The intensive testing built into the course is key to your success. FULL practice exams are what you need to do well, and understanding Eva’s method will increase your stamina and ability to recognize patterns in the test.
Towards the end of the course and in the 2 weeks before the LSAT, Eva helped me build up my stamina and dedication such that I was taking 2 exams a day. Yes, that is what it takes if you’re initial test scores are not in the 80−90%. She provides more than enough course material to take practice tests and examples over and over again.
I was more than satisfied with Binary, and have since recommended to many friends. Not to mention, Eva’s course was more affordable than the large companies. If you are in New York, you should definitely consider Binary as your first LSAT option.
(Also got into my dream school, NYU Law! Thanks Eva!)

Make no mistake about it: Eva is brilliant. This course is designed very differently from your average due to the founder’s science and technical background, hence, the very technical language and methodologies, of course. This is the monster of courses and many others simply cannot compare in terms of theory and application.
The claims of «deconstructing» the LSAT are valid. Eva is also very knowledgeable and available to her students. I believe I have been one of those students in the past who dropped a thousand here and there on a course, expecting a 10-​point score increase just because. Not how it works! It is a matter of the student’s investment (time-​wise) that makes the difference. Although my score did not increase significantly because of my limited investment at that particular time, I did jump a few points and would actually highly recommend this course.
What I appreciated about Eva was her attack of the content. It may be strange grounds for most but you must be open to her approach. She invests in her students who are actually invested in themselves. You cannot half-​ass it and expect to see results. Isn’t this the formula for life? She was the first individual in my LSAT career to tell me that I should not accept below a certain score with my level of intelligence. She knew my potential and that alone made a world of difference in my confidence years later, and as I studied again (and for real) for a later administration of the exam. Priceless.
Sadly, the one negative that I must note (and the reason for rating a mere 3-​stars instead of 4) was the course affiliation with and promotion of a «law school admission coach» who misrepresented himself and his company in addition to swindling a couple thousand dollars from me, but that’s another story. I am years wiser for it and certainly will be a better practicing lawyer for it. You live and you learn. My advice is to take Eva’s course when you are ready to LIVE, BREATHE, and SLEEP LSAT, listen to and apply her instruction, put in the required independent study time aside from class time, and pump your law school applications out either on your own or with the help of a FREE and real professional.

Studying with Binary Solution probably increased my LSAT score by at least 25 points. Before Binary, I cancelled just before my first test after consistently scoring in the 140s, studying with the usual prep books. After Binary, I got a 169 on the exam and would have done even better had I not come in on a redeye just a day or so before the test (I was scoring in the high 170s in practice). Their approach can be a bit abstract — which is different from some of the «gimmicks» that other test prep companies did — but if you can roll with that and you put in your work, your score WILL improve. I can’t speak to the experiences of other reviewers, but my experience was outstanding.
Full disclosure — I’ve known Robert for many years and he is a dear friend, but I’m writing this review because I believe in the course. If you want to hear more about it, Tweet at me at @tamirnovotny.

The biggest scam ever!!! I spent a year with private lessons with both Eva and Robert. Was consistently late and took personal calls during my sessions– I could go on and but the worst was the 2800 unauthorized charge on my credit card that I had to fight to get removed! Bottom line it’s a gimmick it’s the same course as the rest study hard you don’t need to add extra stress w scams!!!

I don’t give out 5 stars blindly like some crazed music fan on itunes. Binary Solution is a God send. You will not get more bang for your buck period that’s it! The in depth knowledge of the LSAT that is conveyed to you from Eva and her staff makes the test into your native tongue and no longer a foreign language. I took the test before I enrolled in binary solution and I was in tears. I used another prep course which shall remain nameless, and I fell on my face HARD! I was on the phone crying to a friend telling them that I wanted to go to law school so bad and they told me about Binary solution. At first it seems like weird science, but Eva mentions in the form of a disclaimer that you will have to do hundreds of problems until the method makes sense to you. I did what was required of me and the matrix became decoded. I started to see the answers for the questions before I finished the stem. The 20 plus practice tests in a proctored environment is unheard of. The webinars where she stays online along with Robert who offers additional tutoring until the wee hours of the morning. I was able to raise my LSAT from a dreadful 146 to a 162! I am not 22 I work full time so it was hard to teach this old dog new tricks. I am still in the middle of my application cycle, but I have already received scholarships from several top 100 law schools and awaiting admission to many other schools. Here’s the truth, the LSAT is not an easy task. It is the hardest test I’ve ever taken. I didn’t go to Columbia or NYU for undergrad so my learning process is different. You have to do the work! Any prep course that treats the LSAT like a 30 min workout will fail you! Eva and Binary cover everything and that’s why it is intense! Yes there are times that she is late, SO WHAT! She will never leave until every question is answered and will cover every base! I owe so much to Binary and I enthusiastically recommend Binary Solution to anyone who can make it to NYC to take the course!

In response to the owner’s comment:
I was not given the option of evoking a full refund if I found a ‘single question without an efficient response,’ as that option seems to be a recent amendment to the course. Had I had that option, it would still not suffice in serving as a guarantee of the success of the course methodology– which was specifically one of my major problems with how it was taught. Showing someone an efficient way to respond to a question does not necessarily lead them to attain the ability to generate such responses independently.
