LSAT Prep Course Options in Grand Rapids

“As soon as I decided to go to law school, I knew how important doing well on the LSAT would be. I also knew that in order to be competitive, it was extremely important to enroll in a prep course—something that I had never done before for any standardized test. Luckily for me, I received great advice from a former TestMasters student and good friend of mine. He told me that TestMasters had improved his score and had also provided a great environment in which to learn about how to take the LSAT. Going off word of mouth alone, I signed up for the TestMasters course, and I could not have been more pleased with the results. Though I have always been a strong standardized test-taker, I know I couldn’t have achieved such strong results without the help and guidance of TestMasters. Not only was the material extraordinarily helpful, but my teacher was really great too. He made every class interesting and entertaining and did a wonderful job of explaining and exploring different problems with the class. He somehow was able to teach a class that catered to a wide range of scores and keep it relevant and helpful for all of us. By the final month before the test, I was scoring consistently in the 170s on diagnostics, so I was able to go into the LSAT feeling capable and confident. I owe TestMasters a great deal for the LSAT score I received, and if you want to improve your LSAT score, you should take this course!”

“Having first taken the LSAT my junior year of college, and failing to meet my expectations, I realized that it would take a full, concerted effort in order to achieve my target score. TestMasters gave me the resources, motivation, and practice I needed in order to boost my score, and I was scoring in the 170s roughly two weeks before the test date. The online resources truly enable you to read and understand the full breadth of the exam and its sections, and all of the instructors were insightful, energetic, and always willing to support me. I was able to devote the time and energy to score a 170 on the test, in spite of working a full-time job, and I owe TestMasters a debt of gratitude for helping me achieve my goals.”

“Coming into my LSAT prep I honestly knew very little about the format of the test, only that it was a very important part of a law school resume and that I wanted to do well. I knew that there was reading comprehension but knew nothing of the logical reasoning type questions. I signed up with TestMasters based on the recommendation of three friends who had previously taken the TestMasters course and had nothing but good things to say about the class. While I expected to do better on the first diagnostic, I was not disappointed with my score (149) because I knew we had learned no strategies or ideas yet and had a feeling that the questions were very learnable.

Once the class began I immediately saw personal improvement. Studying for the LSAT was truly a brand new way of thinking but one that TestMasters was clearly prepared to teach. Aside from being an expert on the content of the test, my teacher was clearly very knowledgeable about many other LSAT-related topics. These included more general test-taking strategies (slow down, relax, read carefully, etc.) and perspective on the importance of this test, whether or not to retake, etc. I felt that this was a very valuable part of the class as well and I credit him for that.

Without the unique TestMasters strategy for logical reasoning, I am confident I would not have achieved a desirable score increase. By dividing all of the LR questions up into different types, it allowed me to pinpoint exactly what kinds of questions I was repeatedly getting wrong and practice those questions over and over again until I began to increase my percentage of right answers. Also, by providing the approximate percentages that each question type is used on the LSAT, TestMasters really showed the students what types were the most valuable to learn. Another positive aspect of the class was the order in which the LR questions were taught, allowing the students to build upon their skills and use similar strategies for different types of questions. After getting anywhere from 9 to 12 wrong on every LR section at the beginning of the course, I was down to 3 or 4 by the end of the class (-4 and -5 on the real LSAT). Since LR questions make up the largest percentage of the test this improvement was obviously vital.

Overall, I found the class to be an excellent experience. While the class and materials were great, the confidence that my TestMasters course gave me may actually have been its most valuable part. I could not have been more prepared.”
