LSAT Prep Course Options in Champaign

“Let me start by saying I have never written a review for any service or product before. I reached out to TestMasters to do this because I feel compelled to vouch for their service and share my experience. Over the course, my score rose from a 150 to a 166 on the actual LSAT. However, it is worth noting that I signed up for TestMasters a day late and took Diagnostic 1 on my own after two weeks of instruction. I say this because 150 may not be an accurate measure of how far I actually came. My score very well may have increased by 20+ points.

Needless to say, I was thrilled with my score and very impressed with TestMasters as a whole. My instructor was an excellent teacher, easy to work with, and always eager to help. In my opinion, he was as good, if not a better teacher than any college professor I had. Also, the materials and resources you have at your disposal are more than sufficient. You are given more real LSAT problems than you could probably use, which is extremely helpful when trying to hone your skills in certain areas that you find difficult.

I could go on about the details of the course, but what matters in LSAT preparation is results. Top 25 schools that I would not have dreamed of applying to have been waiving my application fees in light of my score. A school that I was initially worried about getting admitted into before the class just offered me a full ride. As I see it, the factors that would inhibit someone from taking this course are cost and time. But as I just demonstrated the price of TestMasters is a mere fraction of what you can obtain in scholarship money or the value of getting into a better law school. Also, time is a requirement of doing well on the LSAT and with TestMasters you know that your time is being used efficiently and that you are improving. If you are serious about attending law school, do yourself a favor and sign up. TestMasters will allow you to score to the best of your abilities. I give this course my strongest recommendation.”

“TestMasters is definitely the way to go for anyone who wants to conquer the LSAT. As long as you put in the time and effort, TestMasters will show you exactly what you need to do to get the score you want. I took the LSAT for the first time after taking a frustrating and disappointing Kaplan course. I scored a respectable 163, but was hoping for something a bit higher. I signed up for TestMasters and, a year later, scored a 173! Between my great instructor and the much better strategies that TestMasters teaches, I was able to get the score I had only dreamed about. Especially helpful for me was the much more holistic approach that TestMasters takes for the Reading Comprehension section. With Kaplan, if you didn’t get every step just right and flag each and every little key word in the passage, you were out of time and luck when it came time to answer the questions. Reading comp had always been a problem for me, but with the techniques TestMasters taught, I was able to significantly raise my score on this section and ultimately my overall score. I only wish I had known how good TestMasters was when I started studying for the LSAT the first time. Thank you, TestMasters, for helping me realize my potential.”

“Due to life circumstances, I had to concentrate my studying from July through September for the October exam. There was no way of knowing for certain that I could manage to study thoughtfully with a full-time job, and I worried that I would potentially not feel fully prepared when sitting down to take the LSAT. TestMasters made all the difference. For every missed question I felt confused about, the TestMasters team was there to provide meticulous instruction. With your help, I scored in the 99th percentile on the real test. Words cannot begin to thank you enough. I will highly recommend TestMasters to anyone looking to give the LSAT their best shot. And thank you especially to Megan, Hailey, and Sabrina (who answered one of my questions the morning of the exam!).”

“My LSAT score redefined possibility. I ended up turning down schools that before TestMasters I had not even dared to dream of. With utterly no hesitance I am willing to say that TestMasters was essential to my success. There is no substitute for hard work, but without my instructor to effectively and thoroughly teach me the logical principles underlying the test, all the hard work in the world would have been for naught. While I cannot speak for other companies’ strategies for taking the LSAT, as I haven’t used them, TestMasters’ strategies work. I can think of no higher endorsement. TestMasters instills a firm grasp of all the necessary principles as well as effective test taking techniques, and, perhaps just as importantly, brings you into effectively structured contact with the entire available range of past test materials. As with hard work, there is no substitute for comprehensive exposure and that is exactly what TestMasters provides. If you are thinking at all of taking the LSAT, take TestMasters. It’s that simple.”

“The very first time I took a practice test with TestMasters, I scored a 149, which was disheartening to me. By the end of my class with Chloe Hurley (amazing teacher!), I was scoring up to a 168 on my practice tests and ended up with a 166 on the actual exam, which I was very happy with, especially considering where I started out. I think my experience with Chloe and the great amount of resources available on the TestMasters website really helped to improve my score. Couldn’t have done it without you guys—thanks!”

“TestMasters gave me the most comprehensive, personalized LSAT and application experience I could have ever imagined. After originally choosing an online course because I wanted flexibility in my studying, I looked for ways to supplement my learning and TestMasters was ready with options. I was able to clarify questions via their online center and work through confusion during a few one-on-one tutoring sessions with my awesome TestMasters instructor Zac Henderson. The online course taught me everything I needed with the flexibility I’d hoped for and Zac was there motivating me, encouraging me and answering any questions I had throughout the entire process. He even cheered me on at our school’s law school fair AND on test day!

After having such a positive LSAT experience (and seeing a 14-point increase), I knew I wanted to stick with TestMasters for the continuation of my application process. Austin Stack, my admissions consultant, talked me through law school fairs, interviews, resumes, and countless personal statement drafts. He really took the time to get to know me as an applicant and helped me gear my story appropriately towards a successful application. The work is certainly tough, but TestMasters helped me learn the information in the best way possible, and both Zac and Austin were there for me every step of the way. Originally, I was overwhelmed and completely unsure of what might be possible. Five months later I am proud to say I will be attending Columbia Law next fall!”

“Studying for the LSAT is a high-stress pressure cooker that will make you want to rip your hair out on a daily basis. I had started studying on my own with a Princeton Review book and I didn’t feel like I was making any progress. There wasn’t a strong structure and I certainly wasn’t seeing any growth. That all changed when I started TestMasters. The in-person classes come with a price tag, but there is no better investment for your future than this class. I wouldn’t be writing this if I believed otherwise. Don’t get me wrong, the process is long, grueling, and mentally taxing, but if you trust the TestMasters process you will improve greatly. TestMasters breaks this giant monster of a test into manageable weekly homework and in class sessions. Each class builds off the previous ones, and before you know it you are waking up at 4am with logical reasoning questions on your brain (and that’s no hyperbole).

I owe a great debt of gratitude to my TestMasters teacher. He made this course unbelievably more enjoyable and productive. He brought energy and humor to an otherwise dull subject. My score improved 12 points, increasing my standing among test takers to the high end of the bell curve. This completely changed the course of my life. TestMasters will show you exactly what, when, and how to get the most out of the LSAT…the rest is in your hands.”

“Before TestMasters I honestly believed that the LSAT was an exam that I couldn’t tackle. TestMasters was extremely helpful in that each lesson was well organized in teaching core concepts to master the LSAT. I never left a class feeling confused about any concept. Probably the most helpful aspect for me was the vast amount of study material they provided. TestMasters gives you everything you need to succeed on this test.”

“The TestMasters self-paced online LSAT course gave me all the tools I could have possibly needed to reach my full potential on the LSAT. The course was a perfect balance of working at my own pace and being held accountable. The required homework ensured that I got enough practice with each type of question, and the vast quantity of supplementary materials let me practice until I got the hang of things. Additionally, the course provided statistical insights into which types of questions I struggled with, which helped focus my studies on problem areas.

The most impressive part of the course was the helpful staff who provided personalized responses in minutes to any question I had. The LSAT can be a frustrating exam, and it is easy to get deterred when you don’t understand why a certain answer is correct. Getting help quickly was an incredibly beneficial aspect of the self-paced course, and it is clear that the team at TestMasters genuinely cares about their students.”

“When I received my diagnostic score of 160, I thought to myself that maybe 170 would be attainable with lots of hard work. Now I am sitting here with a 175 with many law school options available to me that I never would have dreamed of before taking the LSAT. The formula for such success consists of attending every TestMasters class, absorbing the methods taught in class, and applying these methods outside the class sessions on the endless number of real LSAT questions that TestMasters provides. TestMasters gives you the problem-solving methods necessary to attack any LSAT question. Some of the methods may not come naturally at first, but you will pick up these skills with continued effort and dedication. And TestMasters provided me with more than just methods for answering questions. My instructor was able to guide my class through the final weeks of preparation and he gave us helpful tips for test day that eliminated any elements of surprise. I am truly thankful to everyone at TestMasters for helping me achieve the LSAT score of my dreams. I can’t imagine having taken any other prep course.”

“TestMasters more than lives up to its reputation as the best prep course on the market.

I was working full time while I prepared for the LSAT. So, I wanted to make sure I got the most out of every minute I put into studying for the test. It wasn’t just the breadth of the TestMasters material, but also its meticulous organization that helped me study efficiently and effectively.

But, at the heart of a good prep course are the instructors—and the TestMasters instructors are the best in the business. My instructor had a mastery of the material that allowed her to teach the concepts effortlessly and answer any questions we had with confidence. And it wasn’t just her. I occasionally attended other classes when I had scheduling conflicts with work. Every other instructor held to that same high standard of excellence both in understanding the material and in teaching it to us. They not only teach you the content of the test, they also teach you how to mentally prepare for the grueling experience that is the LSAT.

The biggest thing TestMasters gave me was confidence. I was confident that I knew the material and could handle anything the LSAT might throw my way. Having that kind of confidence makes all the difference in the world on test day.”

“TestMasters was the best decision I could have made to prepare for the LSAT. Their method of breaking down question types and teaching strategies for approaching them was incredibly helpful and my instructor was awesome. The materials provided had everything I could possibly need to prepare and more real LSAT questions for practice than I could possibly finish. I recommend TestMasters to anyone who is serious about doing their best on the LSAT.”
