LSAT Prep Course Options in Stamford

“When I decided to pursue law school, I was nervous about the LSAT because, in general, I did not perform well on standardized tests and I knew nothing about this particular test. My friend recommended I sign up for the TestMasters course because he did so and had fantastic results. Thankfully, I listened to him. I was crushed after I scored a 145 on my first diagnostic because I thought my dream of attending law school was over. I thought it would be impossible to achieve my goal of 160, and I considered giving up. However, my TestMasters instructor explained to me that the first test means nothing and told me about success stories of students improving by 20+ points, which made me believe that with TestMasters a 160 was still possible. Not only did I reach my goal, I far exceeded it. I am now receiving scholarships at schools that I first labeled as reaches, and I am a competitive applicant at schools that I used to only dream about attending. My 23-point increase is indicative of the incredibly effective methods taught by TestMasters to answer all of the different types of questions on the test as well as the dedicated and highly knowledgeable instructors.”

“I first heard about TestMasters from a friend who was disappointed with his LSAT score and regretted not taking the class. I’ve never been the best standardized test-taker and I felt extra nervous because the LSAT is weighted so heavily in law school admissions. Enrolling in the course assuaged my concerns and helped me improve my score more than I believed I could. My instructors—Anthony Meni and Palmer Heenan—were experts at breaking down the logic underlying complex logical reasoning stimuli and dense reading comprehension passages. Most importantly, my instructors were kind, positive-minded people. They made classes entertaining, went above and beyond to answer my questions about the material, and imbued me with confidence that I could score well on this test. I owe my score to TestMasters and would recommend it to anyone who is preparing for the LSAT.”

“If you sign up for TestMasters, be prepared…this course is rigorous. Do not sign up for it unless you have several hours a day to hone in on the techniques they teach. This course contains no gimmicks or tricks. It progresses like a math class—often, you’ll be taught skills and concepts in class that build upon previous lessons. It’s the type of learning where an hour or so of practice each day benefits the student far more than cramming 10 hours of HW into a day or two each week. This is because you will be developing an actual skill set to methodically analyze new, challenging and diverse questions—not just relying on pure repetition to increase your score. Even though this is true, you will still see every question type hundreds of times and invest well over 200 hours into the LSAT by the end of this course as well.

I found that every LSAT had its own unique curveballs and subtleties, and TestMasters taught me to recognize these scenarios and exploit them to my advantage when appropriate. Every question used in class and the homework comes from a real LSAT previously administered by the LSAC. By the end of the course, there was not a single question (out of thousands) I got wrong that my instructor or the academic support staff was unable to help me with. They understand all the questions with stunning accuracy and are extremely talented at explaining the logic behind any question. No question felt like it was outside my understanding or capability by the end of the course.

I also thought my instructor went the extra mile and took his job very seriously. It was clear that he took everyone’s score as a personal reflection of his own skills as a teacher. His confidence in our abilities as his class as well as during private conversations with him was very reassuring and appreciated. I never felt uncomfortable venting or having a private mild freak out moment with him when test day seemed so close (thank you for your patience Jeff—you are the man!).

At the end of the course I was really psyched to take my exam. After many diagnostic exams and months of practice, the real test day felt routine. It was a surprisingly comfortable and familiar experience once I sat down to take the exam in spite of my nervousness leading up to it. I went from a first diagnostic score of 149 to a final score of 164 on test day. My increase in score jumped me over half of all LSAT test takers and it’s all due to this course.

This is an investment I would recommend to any person interested in law school. I strongly urge you not to go with competitors because this course is the real deal. Stories of friends who took other courses truly lead me to believe that the other courses are mere imitations of the TestMasters material. TestMasters is the course that changed LSAT prep, and in hindsight, it is easy to see why.

UPDATE: After scoring a 164, I decided to retake the TestMasters course and subsequently scored a 170!”

“As someone who typically studies independently, I was hesitant to enroll in a prep course to prepare for the LSAT, but I felt that the structure of a class that meets multiple times a week, assigns homework, and provides practice tests would be beneficial, especially since I was working full-time. A friend of mine recommended TestMasters, so after a little bit of research I enrolled and could not have made a better decision.

I hadn’t had much exposure to the content of the LSAT prior to registering for TestMasters. I had seen a sample question or two before, but I never tried my hand at a practice test prior to my first day of class with TestMasters. After going in cold and seeing my results, I knew I had a lot to learn. I developed a tremendous appreciation for the TestMasters curriculum after just a couple of lessons, as it is extremely well-designed and is meant to teach you all the skills you need from the ground up. Each additional lesson builds on the last and ultimately prepares you to tackle any type of logical reasoning or reading comprehension question you could possibly encounter on test day. In addition, TestMasters provides so much course content that buying additional prep books or study guides is a waste of money. As a TestMasters student, you have at your disposal thousands of practice questions, all of which appeared on actual LSAT exams, as well as detailed video and written explanations for these questions. Furthermore, TestMasters has instructors standing by through the ‘Academic Support’ section of its website who will answer any questions you have about the material within 24 hours. The course also provides students with full-length practice tests and detailed analyses of their performance. This was crucial to my preparation, as it gave me a great deal of insight into my own progress, outlining exactly what I had mastered and exactly what I still needed to work on.

In addition to the TestMasters curriculum, I owe much of my success to my in-class instructor, who was nothing short of phenomenal as a teacher and mentor. She had a wealth of knowledge and was always ready to break down any difficult question or concept that was giving us trouble. Her patience and poise were critical in helping us become comfortable with the content of the LSAT and what acing the exam would require of us. It was clear she wanted us to succeed and believed that we could, and I cannot thank her enough for all of her support.

I had a fantastic experience with TestMasters and I strongly recommend it to anyone willing to work hard and take advantage of all of the resources that this intensive and comprehensive course makes available to its students. If you put in the time and effort, enrolling in a TestMasters LSAT course is worth every penny.”
