It’s just logic.

Why War Room

Reasoning, not ritual.

We know the standard prep advice. We keep what earns its place, discard what does not, and make every departure deliberate. The point is not to sound contrarian. The point is to make the reasoning visible.

01

Understand the argument

Skip the tutor jargon. Separate the premises, conclusions, assumptions, concessions, and competing viewpoints you can actually defend.

02

Train past comfort

Know why the credited response works and why each tempting alternative fails. Difficult practice is useful when it exposes a precise weakness.

03

Apply one method

Use original material to build the skill independently, then bring the same reasoning into a tutoring plan shaped around the student in the room.

Private tutoring

One student. One instructor. No test-prep factory.

Private tutoring is the highest-touch version of the War Room method. Follow the full curriculum, continue past 30 hours, or focus narrowly on the reasoning costing you points.

  • Live, one-on-one online instruction
  • Flexible session length and scheduling
  • Guided practice by question type
  • Explicit review of wrong answers
How tutoring works

Founder & Lead Instructor

Why War Room

Serious instruction should still feel personal.

“A private tutor shouldn’t take your whole paycheck. This is a war for your future, and we’ll fight it together.”

Davis founded War Room Education after hundreds of hours of one-on-one tutoring with roughly 50 individual clients. He scored a 175, but the company grew from the teaching: seeing what students repeatedly misunderstood, what conventional advice failed to clarify, and what helped in practice.

Frequently asked

Before we begin.

Questions about the books, the workbook, or private instruction? Start here.

How do the book and workbook fit together?

Rules of Engagement explains the reasoning, question families, reading approach, and study strategy. Operation Overkill provides original Logical Reasoning material for deliberate, repeated practice. You can study independently or use tutoring for help with a particular problem.

Are the publications available to buy?

Both publications are forthcoming. Rules of Engagement is planned as a $20 PDF. Contact us for availability and for Operation Overkill pricing. Neither requires a tutoring package.

Do I have to commit to all 30 hours?

No. Thirty hours is our recommended framework for a complete course, not a cap or a required package. Tutoring is billed hourly. You can use fewer hours for targeted work, follow the full course, or continue beyond 30 hours if more instruction would help.

Are sessions online?

Yes. Sessions are conducted live online, so you can work with War Room Education from anywhere.

What parts of the test do you teach?

Our flagship curriculum focuses on Logical Reasoning. Sessions can also address broader testing strategy and Reading Comprehension where appropriate.

Do you use official test questions?

Instruction may discuss properly accessed official material, but War Room’s curriculum and practice materials are original. Original questions let us isolate particular reasoning patterns and give you practice you have not already seen.

Can you guarantee a score increase?

No responsible tutor can guarantee a particular score. We provide rigorous instruction, honest feedback, and a structured path; the result also depends on your practice, timeline, and test-day performance.

How do I get started?

Send a short inquiry with your test date, current score range, and goals. We will discuss fit and scheduling before you book anything.
