LSAT Prep Options in Amherst

“When it comes to getting into law schools, your LSAT score is the biggest factor. Just a few extra points can put you into a better range of schools and make the difference when it comes to scholarship money. That said, my decision to attend a full-length TestMasters course has paid for itself, and then some.

Before taking the course, my approach on several practice tests I’d purchased was extremely haphazard. I had no methodology for breaking down the questions; I had no system. TestMasters has basically done the work for you, categorizing all the question types that appear on the LSAT as well as the types of passages you will encounter. They also provide you with more practice questions and material drawn from actual LSATs than you will likely ever be able to complete (this is a good thing!!). The TestMasters course not only teaches you the techniques to correctly answer the questions, but breaks down how you are doing on each question type, and thus allows you to see and target your weaknesses. For example, at a point I was getting more Type 2 Questions wrong on the Logical Reasoning sections than I was all other types of questions combined on those sections. Without TestMasters’ methodology of breaking down the question types, I would have remained woefully unaware of this glaring weakness. Studying alone, I never could have recognized this.

Of course, by itself the course is no magic bullet, but if you are willing to put the work in I can virtually guarantee your score will improve. I highly recommend TestMasters to anyone who is serious about law school and willing and able to put the time in that mastering the LSAT requires. Finally, a quick shout-out to my instructor Matt Peterson. He was enthusiastic about the material even when it might get a little dry towards the end of a three-hour class and did a great job of answering our questions. Thanks Matt!!”

“I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with TestMasters or about my instructor. I recommend this course to everybody, which is really saying something because I am a student executive leader for the political science department and I talk to pre-law students about the LSAT almost exclusively. I thought the curriculum made sense and the homeworks, though challenging and frustrating when I was doing them, were so helpful and necessary in hindsight. What made this program most impactful was my instructor, Anthony Meni. He went above-and-beyond to help me through my LSAT process and, from what I have heard from other TestMasters students, I was not unique in this experience. I genuinely believe that he wanted each of us to succeed not only on the LSAT but in law school and as attorneys. He would frequently connect course concepts to practical experience (What skill is this question type trying to exercise? What about a legal practice might necessitate this skill?) to keep us grounded and to help us remember why the LSAT mattered for our goals. In a class of over 40 people, he knew my name and remembered basic facts about me (topics that confused me in the past, what my goal-schools were, etc). I recently enrolled in my dream school with a merit-based scholarship and I absolutely attribute a percentage of my success to Anthony’s guidance and to the TestMasters curriculum.”

“Studying for the LSAT and working a full-time job can be an especially intimidating prospect. TestMasters gave me the tools and the practice materials necessary to make sure that every second I spent preparing was a step toward a better score on the real test. The quality of the teaching as well as the course’s focus on mastering each and every problem type on the LSAT is surely one of the most efficient routes to a great score. Don’t waste your time with other LSAT study books, TestMasters will provide you with all the tools you need, and you are guaranteed that every practice problem comes straight from the test itself. When the big day finally came around, I could not have felt more confident and prepared. Thank you TestMasters!”

“TestMasters was worth every penny, and I cannot stress that enough. While other programs may provide tempting price deals, you simply can’t compromise quality. TestMasters provides first-rate teachers so comfortable with the curriculum you will never for a moment question their competency. On top of that, they provide more study material then you will ever get to...believe me, I tried! Taking TestMasters was by far the best decision I’ve ever made and I now have a score that will allow me to get into a great law school; and for that I am forever grateful. Take TestMasters and do the homework, you will knock the test out of the park.”

“When I decided that I wanted to go to law school, I spoke to a few friends and all of them recommended TestMasters. I asked myself ’How can one LSAT course really be that much better than all the others?’ After finishing the program, I understand how. The TestMasters curriculum is so comprehensive, I felt that nothing on the exam would have surprised me (even a rare type 15 question!). Also, the best way to get good at taking the LSAT is to practice, and they gave me more than enough study materials to reach my true potential. Since I got my score back I’ve been recommending TestMasters to everyone!”

“I really believe TestMasters was the best LSAT prep I could have done. I thought I could prepare for the test by myself, but after a couple of weeks of trying to do this through prep books and practice questions, I realized how hard it was to sit down and force myself to study while working two part-time jobs. I needed structure—a set time to learn the material. Before TestMasters, I felt like I was blindly going through the questions, but TestMasters identifies concrete patterns and concepts that apply to almost every LSAT question. TestMasters has studied literally every question in modern LSAT history and organized the questions in a way that was easy for me to understand and see common themes. There were no cheap tricks to learn, no blind guessing. There was a reason for every answer, and they made sure to equip you with the tools to identify those reasons, to really understand the ‘why’ behind an answer. The prep material was plentiful, the instructor was caring and effective, and the confidence I gained from taking this course was priceless. TestMasters is a great investment in your future.”

“TestMasters provides an outstanding product that is extremely useful even for students who have a strong natural aptitude for the LSAT. By participating in class exercises, sticking to the rigorous homework expectations, and working through the practice tests you can be sure that your performance on the real test is a reflection of your best abilities!”

“I first took the LSAT after studying on my own using a preparation book. My score was pretty good, but I decided that I needed a better score to gain admission to the most competitive law schools. I enrolled in TestMasters and took their course, and it made all the difference. I learned new ways to approach logical reasoning questions and better strategies for the reading comprehension section. My instructor made the difference; his teaching style was fast-paced and comprehensive, yet he took the time to fully explain the concepts. My score jumped twelve points when I took the LSAT for the second time, and I couldn’t be more pleased.”

“I would certainly recommend taking the TestMasters course to anyone interested in taking the LSAT. In the summer I decided I would register to take the September LSAT, and I signed up for the TestMasters course only days before the first diagnostic. Due to the instruction I received at TestMasters, my score quickly rose into the 170s on my diagnostics, and I scored a 172 on the real LSAT. I am not naturally a logical person, so I was pleased with this score. My TestMasters instructor was a vibrant teacher who was clearly committed to helping each student reach his or her highest potential. Taking TestMasters was also helpful because it familiarized me with the material on the LSAT and presented the underlying logic of the LSAC test writers. By the end of the course, I had a solid understanding not only of why certain answers were correct, but also of why LSAC had asked the question in the first place and why the question was framed that way. I had learned what LSAC was testing on each question. This improved my timing, as I learned to predict the right answer from the question stem before I had read any of the answer options. This also helped my performance on the more difficult questions, as I was able to move beyond the convoluted language and bizarre inverted sentences to discern the logic behind the questions.”

“The TestMasters course provided the structure and detail I needed to study for the LSAT. I found the carefully organized lesson plans, the hundreds of practice problems for each concept, and the online academic support for my specific questions to be extremely helpful. I followed the curriculum exactly and my score improved like clockwork. What’s more, it was actually enjoyable!

My favorite thing about the TestMasters approach is that it doesn’t try to teach you cheap tricks or shortcuts—you get plenty of strategic advice and tips for timing that are very helpful, but above all, they teach you how to really learn and understand the concepts behind the test. I didn’t feel like I had a superficial knowledge that would get me through the test—I felt like I knew the test, inside and out. I tell everyone I know to use TestMasters—it really is the best!”

“Taking the TestMasters self-paced online course allowed me to balance a full academic course load, a collegiate sport, and LSAT prep simultaneously. Studying by my own schedule allowed me to remain flexible and devote time to the areas that I needed most. Walking into the test center, I knew that I had as comprehensive an understanding of the exam as any other test taker and that is thanks to Robin Singh and TestMasters.”

“Before enrolling in TestMasters, I had used a few prep books to help me study, but none of them had as comprehensive a strategy for how to succeed as TestMasters does, and none were as ambitious. Our instructor told us we should all shoot for 180s and showed us how taking the LSAT was a teachable skill we could improve on. When I finally took the real test, I had a strategy for every type of question that I knew would work for me, and I knew exactly what to expect from the test creators. Thanks to TestMasters, I was able to increase my score by 18 points.”
