LSAT Prep Course Options in Northampton

“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!!”

“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.”

“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!”

“When I told a friend that I was going to take the LSAT he gave me one piece of advice: take the TestMasters LSAT class. ‘It’s a lot of work,’ he said, ‘but when you see your score, you’ll know it was worth it.’ He wasn’t exaggerating. TestMasters gives you thorough preparation for the exam. Every type of question to be expected is dissected and explained. When I finally took the exam, I felt like I was taking another practice exam. There were no surprises. Now when my friends say they are interested in law school, there’s only one piece of advice that I give them regarding the LSAT: take TestMasters.”

“When I decided to apply to law school, I became very overwhelmed by the idea of studying for the LSAT while working a full-time job. I knew that I needed some structure in my studying and after much research decided to take the TestMasters LSAT course. Although I was working between 50-60 hours per week, the course was designed in a way that made it possible for me to attend classes and still make time for myself to complete (most of) the homework. I scored a 149 on the first diagnostic and, even though many people told me to not be concerned with the score of diagnostic 1, I was worried. I scored a bit higher on each diagnostic and on the actual test I scored a 164—a 15 point jump I attribute completely to the TestMasters curriculum and Sam Lehman, my TestMasters instructor. Without the TestMasters course, I wouldn’t have had the resources nor the structure I needed to succeed on the LSAT. The course was even more positive than I expected and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interested in taking an LSAT prep course. It is 100% worth the money you pay.”

“My experience with TestMasters was so positive that I found myself advertising the course at the test center during my actual LSAT examination. I came into the course assuming I would have no problem scoring about 170 because I’ve always been good at standardized tests. On my diagnostic, I scored a 152 and was almost ready to give up the law school dream altogether. But after ten weeks with many hours of in-class instruction and many more hours of homework, my score went up to a 171. What I loved about TestMasters is that we weren’t learning tricks to magically do better on this test; instead, we were just learning the proper approaches one must take to different types of questions, learning how to spot flawed reasoning in arguments, and learning techniques that allowed us to do questions quickly. Also, the materials that TestMasters provides its students with are endless. Even if one has done every single homework problem and every single practice exam, you can still find many hours worth of supplemental practice problems to do in the weeks leading up to the LSAT. Finally, the academic support service that students can use at any time is yet another reason why TestMasters is amazing. I highly and unconditionally recommend TestMasters.”

“TestMasters was absolutely fantastic. I was coming out of a great undergraduate school and had a goal of attending a top 20 law school. However my 40th percentile starting point was not going to get me anywhere I wanted to be, so I really have to give credit to the TestMasters course and my brilliant instructor Amelia Brasher for my 20-point score increase. Certainly there was a lot of hard work involved, but the classes were critical to my success. Amelia was always extremely clear in her explanations and made certain that a question was fully understood before moving on. Moreover, she always taught the class with a smile and a great attitude—something much needed in what could have become an even more stressful process. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate the TestMasters prep course. It got me to 170 and made me a competitive candidate for a top law school. I’d recommend—and have recommended—TestMasters to anyone taking the LSAT.”

“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!”

“Before I saw the light and came to TestMasters, I tried three other test prep companies. The others showed me the basics, but that was it. TestMasters went above and beyond, preparing me for anything on test day. My first official LSAT score was a 163. I was happy, but not thrilled. After taking the TestMasters self-paced online prep course, I sat for the October test and got a 170. Now I’m applying to law schools with a much more competitive score. This program is completely worth it! Just one more conditional statement: If you put in the time with TestMasters, it will pay off.”

“There are so many good things for me to say about TestMasters. Before I began the TestMasters course, the LSAT terrified me. TestMasters showed me that it is totally possible to do well on the LSAT. It was amazing to learn strategies that work. By the end of the course the strategies had become second nature to me. It felt good to see all the question types. Seeing and learning all the different types of passages and questions along with the supplemental materials allowed me to know that there would be no surprises on test day. Taking the TestMasters course made me feel like I had an edge over people who did not. My score increased fourteen points. I don’t think I would have been able to see such a dramatic change if I studied on my own. I would recommend TestMasters to anyone considering taking the LSAT.”

“I have nothing but positive things to say about TestMasters. It was extremely well-hyped to me by friends and colleagues who had taken or were familiar with the course, and it lived up to my high expectations. It’s not magic; you definitely have to commit yourself to the course and completing the significant amount of homework, but the quality of the course’s methodology and classroom instruction is what lays the groundwork. Anthony Meni was an amazing instructor who seemed to know every student’s name by the second class, and he was more than happy to talk things over if I missed a class or underperformed on a diagnostic. Overall, TestMasters was a top-notch test-prep experience; it’s a large and successful company, and the quality of its product and customer service appears to be what got it there.”

“TestMasters was phenomenal! Having experience with multiple TestMasters instructors, I can also say that each one was extremely competent and encouraging. They made us challenge ourselves, explain how and why we arrived at our answers in order to ensure we really understood each question. Not only did they help us master the test, but they also did their best to try and help us master our stress level, which is usually an obstacle in itself. When I walked into the exam, I felt ready, and even relatively calm. I knew TestMasters had prepared me in the best possible way, something I think the improvement in my score clearly reflects. If you’re willing to actually put in the time and work to get a top score on the LSAT, TestMasters is definitely the best resource available to do so.”
