LSAT Prep Course Options in St. Paul

“I was referred to TestMasters by an acquaintance, and once I researched the company more, I was completely sold on their program. I think TestMasters was the best investment I have made in my endeavor to go to law school. Coming in, I had never taken any practice exams, but I got a 152 on my first diagnostic. I was very nervous because I did not think I would see much of a score increase from 152, but on the actual February exam I scored a 168! The best thing about the entire experience was that I had an instructor who really knew how to teach the fundamentals. TestMasters gave me the confidence I needed to be able to succeed during the exam. Half of the battle was familiarizing myself with the types of questions I would see, and by the end of the course, I could tackle any type of question thrown my way. My instructor showed me how to hone in on my weaker areas while still maintaining mastery of my stronger ones. I was juggling being a full-time student at the same time, but I got out of the program exactly what I was willing to put into it. I cannot thank TestMasters enough for helping me achieve my LSAT score. I am sure, had I self-studied, I would have done fine, but it would not have been anywhere near what I got with the help of TestMasters. A couple pieces of advice: take this course if you’re willing to put the time and effort into it, take this course if you have the diligence to do the homework outside of the classes, and take this course if you want to see a big LSAT score increase because it really works!”

“When I signed up for TestMasters I had never looked at an LSAT question before, let alone taken a practice test. I figured that the structure of a course would motivate me to work harder and take the test seriously. My TestMasters course, however, did much more for me than simply provide structure and motivation. The instructor was not only excellent at formal logic and the skills necessary to perform on the LSAT, but also a remarkably gifted communicator. His ability to explain complex logical problems and to make learning about these problems engaging was, in my opinion, the number one reason I ended up succeeding on the LSAT. TestMasters is a well-organized course with lots of helpful resources, but what makes it really excellent is that they hire top-notch instructors. When I walked into the the test center on test day, I felt I had truly learned the LSAT and knew it would be my last time taking it.”

“Without TestMasters I would never have achieved a 167 on the LSAT. Prior to taking the course my score had stagnated well below my goal and I had no clue what to do about it. I was doing everything the home prep books told me to yet my score did not budge for a full month. The horror stories I had heard from friends about their scores stagnating or even decreasing came to mind. Thankfully I came across my future TestMasters instructor Zac Henderson at a law school fair, and his enthusiasm about what I perceived to be a boring, painful test had me hooked. From the first week of class my worries were put at ease. Yes, TestMasters has high expectations for the amount of time you dedicate to studying, but it is completely manageable if you prioritize correctly. Zac was more than willing to walk me through any questions I had during class and the resources available online were invaluable. I would highly recommend TestMasters to anyone serious about doing well on the LSAT!”

“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.”
