LSAT Prep Course Options in Newark, NJ

“At my first time looking at it, the LSAT seemed to be a very difficult and complicated exam. The TestMasters course, unlike other test preparation services, really broke down the exam into its components. After understanding each section and learning its different question types, I was able to gain a comfortable grasp of the test and was ready to tackle any question. My instructor was highly qualified to teach the course and he was very efficient and articulate during each class. TestMasters also provides each student with a comprehensive set of materials including problem sets and practice tests. The course will enable you to learn the logic behind every question and provide you with strategies that have proven to be effective.”

“Unlike other LSAT prep courses which try and teach tricks to answer LSAT questions or how to make your best guess, TestMasters teaches you how to find the correct answer every time. They teach you why that answer is right and every other answer is clearly wrong. They don’t take any shortcuts in their teaching methods and instead teach you how to think like the test writers. I loved going to my class and this made studying that much easier. My instructor not only took time to answer all of our questions, she encouraged us to challenge her thinking, until it was clear in all of our minds why the correct answer was correct. I ended up raising my score 30 points because TestMasters taught me how to think like the LSAT.”

“After deciding to take the LSAT, I did not know which approach was best to study for the test. Some of the pre-law students on my campus were using self-study regimes, but the thought of studying for the test on my own seemed daunting. It was not a coincidence that the people that I talked to who did the best on the LSAT had also taken the TestMasters course. After doing some more research online, it became clear to me that TestMasters was definitely the best option. The course provides more than enough resources to be successful on the exam and the diagnostics I took each week were crucial to keeping track of my progress. I could have never improved 16 points on my own and I am so thankful I chose to take the TestMasters course.”

“TestMasters in general and my class instructor in particular have my undying thanks. I could not have gotten a 178 on the LSAT without TestMasters. From little things like the fact that an either/or construct implies ‘or both’ to bigger things like the proper way to diagram sufficient/necessary statements, the things I learned from the classes and materials were absolutely instrumental to my LSAT success.

My instructor was a great guy and at least as a great a teacher. He was appropriately serious but maintained a sense of humor to leaven what can be a very stressful, anxious process of preparation. He was thorough but not ponderous and always made sure to address any lingering questions. TestMasters is an intensive course—6 hours of class a week could be rough, but he was able to make sure that the course was intensive without being intense. I feel lucky that he was my instructor.

More generally, the TestMasters course is very well put-together. The lessons are clear and the wealth of prep materials is astounding. I took the LSAT twice, and had more than enough practice questions with which to prepare for each. The strategies, tips, and advice are never less than spot-on and made a world of difference. I knew going in that it would require a high degree of self-motivation, but TestMasters makes it easy to apply oneself fully to the task.

I had several friends who insisted I take TestMasters. Having scored a 166 on my first prep test (without having done any prep), I was hesitant to put in the time and money. I am SO glad that I listened to them and made the investment.”

“If you sign up for TestMasters, be prepared…this course is rigorous. Do not sign up for it unless you have several hours a day to hone in on the techniques they teach. This course contains no gimmicks or tricks. It progresses like a math class—often, you’ll be taught skills and concepts in class that build upon previous lessons. It’s the type of learning where an hour or so of practice each day benefits the student far more than cramming 10 hours of HW into a day or two each week. This is because you will be developing an actual skill set to methodically analyze new, challenging and diverse questions—not just relying on pure repetition to increase your score. Even though this is true, you will still see every question type hundreds of times and invest well over 200 hours into the LSAT by the end of this course as well.

I found that every LSAT had its own unique curveballs and subtleties, and TestMasters taught me to recognize these scenarios and exploit them to my advantage when appropriate. Every question used in class and the homework comes from a real LSAT previously administered by the LSAC. By the end of the course, there was not a single question (out of thousands) I got wrong that my instructor or the academic support staff was unable to help me with. They understand all the questions with stunning accuracy and are extremely talented at explaining the logic behind any question. No question felt like it was outside my understanding or capability by the end of the course.

I also thought my instructor went the extra mile and took his job very seriously. It was clear that he took everyone’s score as a personal reflection of his own skills as a teacher. His confidence in our abilities as his class as well as during private conversations with him was very reassuring and appreciated. I never felt uncomfortable venting or having a private mild freak out moment with him when test day seemed so close (thank you for your patience Jeff—you are the man!).

At the end of the course I was really psyched to take my exam. After many diagnostic exams and months of practice, the real test day felt routine. It was a surprisingly comfortable and familiar experience once I sat down to take the exam in spite of my nervousness leading up to it. I went from a first diagnostic score of 149 to a final score of 164 on test day. My increase in score jumped me over half of all LSAT test takers and it’s all due to this course.

This is an investment I would recommend to any person interested in law school. I strongly urge you not to go with competitors because this course is the real deal. Stories of friends who took other courses truly lead me to believe that the other courses are mere imitations of the TestMasters material. TestMasters is the course that changed LSAT prep, and in hindsight, it is easy to see why.

UPDATE: After scoring a 164, I decided to retake the TestMasters course and subsequently scored a 170!”

“As someone who typically studies independently, I was hesitant to enroll in a prep course to prepare for the LSAT, but I felt that the structure of a class that meets multiple times a week, assigns homework, and provides practice tests would be beneficial, especially since I was working full-time. A friend of mine recommended TestMasters, so after a little bit of research I enrolled and could not have made a better decision.

I hadn’t had much exposure to the content of the LSAT prior to registering for TestMasters. I had seen a sample question or two before, but I never tried my hand at a practice test prior to my first day of class with TestMasters. After going in cold and seeing my results, I knew I had a lot to learn. I developed a tremendous appreciation for the TestMasters curriculum after just a couple of lessons, as it is extremely well-designed and is meant to teach you all the skills you need from the ground up. Each additional lesson builds on the last and ultimately prepares you to tackle any type of logical reasoning or reading comprehension question you could possibly encounter on test day. In addition, TestMasters provides so much course content that buying additional prep books or study guides is a waste of money. As a TestMasters student, you have at your disposal thousands of practice questions, all of which appeared on actual LSAT exams, as well as detailed video and written explanations for these questions. Furthermore, TestMasters has instructors standing by through the ‘Academic Support’ section of its website who will answer any questions you have about the material within 24 hours. The course also provides students with full-length practice tests and detailed analyses of their performance. This was crucial to my preparation, as it gave me a great deal of insight into my own progress, outlining exactly what I had mastered and exactly what I still needed to work on.

In addition to the TestMasters curriculum, I owe much of my success to my in-class instructor, who was nothing short of phenomenal as a teacher and mentor. She had a wealth of knowledge and was always ready to break down any difficult question or concept that was giving us trouble. Her patience and poise were critical in helping us become comfortable with the content of the LSAT and what acing the exam would require of us. It was clear she wanted us to succeed and believed that we could, and I cannot thank her enough for all of her support.

I had a fantastic experience with TestMasters and I strongly recommend it to anyone willing to work hard and take advantage of all of the resources that this intensive and comprehensive course makes available to its students. If you put in the time and effort, enrolling in a TestMasters LSAT course is worth every penny.”

“TestMasters is hands down the best investment I’ve ever made. I went up 22 points from my initial diagnostic solely from studying TestMasters methods and materials. Our instructor was an LSAT expert who could answer any question we had. He made himself available for as long as we needed help, no matter how much time it took. If you commit the time to use all that TestMasters has to offer, you will see a huge improvement in your score and your competitiveness in the application process. The cost of the class will be paid back tenfold in the forms of fee waivers, scholarships, and career opportunities based on your LSAT score. With my LSAT score increase, I’m now competitive at the top 14 schools as compared to schools ranked in the sixties and seventies with my initial diagnostic score.”

“I have been pleased with TestMasters’ services since day one. My instructor was a phenomenal teacher and clearly willing to be an asset to her students. She did a great job answering everyone’s questions and kept the class involved with her humor and lighthearted personality. The TestMasters course motivated me to study for the LSAT week after week. By attending all the classes, working through thousands of LSAT questions and explanations, and taking the diagnostic tests, I went from a 157 on the first diagnostic to a 169 on the actual LSAT! I am now able to confidently apply to many top law schools with this score. Thank you TestMasters!”

“My first encounter with the LSAT was downloading and taking a free test available on LSAC’s website. My score was respectable but not as high as the score I knew I would need to get to be an attractive candidate to top law schools. Initially, I planned to prepare for the exam with just an LSAT prep book. However, my mother heard good things about TestMasters. ‘Why not?’, I thought. They taught several techniques that allowed me to understand the test questions better and answer them quickly. I particularly found it helpful to learn how to diagram logical reasoning questions involving necessary and sufficient conditions. When I took the actual LSAT, I felt very well-prepared and calm and finished each section early. I am thrilled with my score and feel that the TestMasters course was much more beneficial than any book would have been.”

“Because of TesMasters’ incredible program and the dedication of my incredibly knowledgeable teacher, I had a score improvement of over 30 points and was accepted to top law schools such as George Washington, William & Mary, and the University of Minnesota, along with generous scholarship offers. Make no mistake, it takes lots of dedication and focus, but TestMasters prepares you step by step so that you can reach your goals. I would strongly recommend TestMasters to anyone who aims to get accepted to a reputable school.”

“When I decided to pursue law school, I was nervous about the LSAT because, in general, I did not perform well on standardized tests and I knew nothing about this particular test. My friend recommended I sign up for the TestMasters course because he did so and had fantastic results. Thankfully, I listened to him. I was crushed after I scored a 145 on my first diagnostic because I thought my dream of attending law school was over. I thought it would be impossible to achieve my goal of 160, and I considered giving up. However, my TestMasters instructor explained to me that the first test means nothing and told me about success stories of students improving by 20+ points, which made me believe that with TestMasters a 160 was still possible. Not only did I reach my goal, I far exceeded it. I am now receiving scholarships at schools that I first labeled as reaches, and I am a competitive applicant at schools that I used to only dream about attending. My 23-point increase is indicative of the incredibly effective methods taught by TestMasters to answer all of the different types of questions on the test as well as the dedicated and highly knowledgeable instructors.”

“The TestMasters formula works; what you put in is what you get out. TestMasters offers you everything you need to improve your score—fantastic course materials, instructors, and practice tests with comprehensive explanations. However, there are no shortcuts in the process. When your instructor tells you in the first class that you need to spend 15-20 hours a week studying outside of class, they’re not lying. You have to be committed to see improvement. The good news is that if you are committed, TestMasters offers everything and anything you need to achieve your goals.”
