Manhattan LSAT Prep Course

“Using TestMasters has been an incredible experience. My instructor was personable and helpful and truly made the three-hour classes pass by in an enjoyable way. The course materials are irreplaceable and really gave me an advantage over other students without the resources that I had. Any question I had at any point during the course was answered clearly and precisely by very competent instructors within a short amount of time, and they really tailored their answers to help me understand the material in my own way. Of course, watching Robin’s videos was also extremely helpful. It made me see that the same methodologies could be applied by any instructor with the same accurate results. Even small things were appreciated in this course, including the option to make up classes at any time. I would not have gotten my 171 without TestMasters!”

“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.”

“TestMasters’ course structure, analytics, and academic support (shoutout to Megan Giacomantonio) were super valuable. The greatest challenge for me was balancing my own perfectionism with smart time management on the test so I could get to every question, and that is why drilling and practicing timing strategies played a big part in my 22-point score increase. But the tools TestMasters provided are what allowed me to build a systematic and complete knowledge of the test and its content, so I was then able to dedicate my focus to timing.”

“I took TestMasters with Chloe Hurley in preparation for the LSAT. When I first started, it was the first time I had ever seen the test and my score was a disappointing 143. With the help of TestMasters, I was able to score a 167 on the real thing after only twelve weeks of study. Chloe was consistently energetic and upbeat even though the class was from 7 to 10 at night and she made the course as interesting as possible, even through some especially tedious and frustrating material. She consistently answered all my questions, no matter how annoying or repetitive they were, in the most thorough ways possible and never made me feel dumb (even though sometimes I probably was). In the rare instance that she didn’t quite know the best explanation for something, she would go out of her way to find out the answer and relay it to the class, She was great and I would highly recommend her class to anyone preparing for the LSAT.

Beyond that, I was able to consistently watch refresher videos of Robin Singh teaching the lessons online, which was always helpful, especially after a particular exhausting evening or a particularly difficult concept that needed a little more practice. Beyond that, the online academic support is literally the best. It’s like having a tutor without the extra cost – any question I had, they consistently made sure to answer in the best way possible. One moment stands out: there was this one instructor that recognized I was being lazy in my formulating of questions because I just wanted it explained to me without actually thinking why I got the wrong answer. She told me “I’m going to push back and I want you to explain what your actually thinking on this was”. At first I was irked at this because as we all know when you don’t understand something, it’s easy (and less embarrassing ) to just say explain it to me, but after a few times of this, I would get halfway through trying to explain my thought process and literally say “OH, that’s where I went wrong” and I can’t be more appreciative to her for making me work harder. This class obviously requires work (a lot of it), no one’s going to be doing it for you, but if you put the time and effort in, the support system is there to guide you through it and help you get the best score you can.”

“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.”

“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!”

“After signing up for the LSAT, I canvassed a group of friends who had gone to law school to see how they had prepared. There was the guy at work who had taken a TestMasters class and spent endless hours on the homework. And the friend at a party who pulled out his phone and texted ‘TestMasters’ to me when I couldn’t hear what he was saying for a second time. Countless others recommended I check out the TestMasters course, get a TestMasters tutor, or use the online material from the TestMasters site. I have to admit that the resounding support made me curious but also a bit skeptical—how could this place be that good? But after taking the self-paced online course, I agree that it is.

The self-paced course is structured for a comprehensive and efficient review of the material covered on the LSAT. With limited time and an unpredictable schedule, it allows you to focus on specific areas while ensuring that nothing slips through the cracks of your study regime. I’d recommend this version of the course to anyone looking for a way to study independently on a tight timeline...and would even text TestMasters to a friend at a party if they couldn’t hear me raving about it over the music!”

“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.”

“I absolutely loved the TestMasters course! Our instructor Hailey Evans encouraged everyone in the class to participate and provided individualized feedback and answers to questions, which, in turn, enabled her to really cater to each of our strengths and weaknesses. We also learned from each other’s questions as well as from the planned lessons and course materials. This process of learning as a group demonstrated for me how well the TestMasters methodology truly worked. Although we each came in with a different way of looking at questions and a different degree of preexisting aptitude, the skills and tools that we were learning could be systematically applied to any given question by each of us.

I personally felt that this course made two major contributions to my test taking.The first was that when I chose an answer, I almost always knew with confidence exactly why that was the correct answer, as opposed to just feeling as though it was. The second contribution was the sheer volume of questions that we completed and reviewed, both on our own and in class, within the framework of given lessons. I became so familiar with the way that the LSAT writers structure their various questions and the common types of ’sucker choice’ answers, that I quickly began to see red flags in answer choices that I otherwise might have had a much harder time eliminating. This allowed me to get through the test questions more quickly while at the same time getting fewer wrong answers.”

“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.”

“I initially heard about TestMasters through my older brother who took the course and scored a 172 on his LSAT. He recommended it highly so I figured it was worth trying. I started out by getting a 164 on my first diagnostic, but, after meeting my instructor, Amelia Brasher, I was optimistic that my score could improve. She was intelligent, energetic, fun, and, most importantly, genuinely interested in seeing us all do well.

The classes were well designed and incredibly effective. They taught all of the necessary methods and tools for taking the test. The homeworks, while often extremely long, really helped solidify the lessons that were taught in the preceding classes. Furthermore, the TestMasters website was an essential resource for additional study material.

By the end of the course my diagnostic scores were routinely in the mid-170s. I felt that the TestMasters program had adequately prepared me for the actual LSAT. By the time the test day rolled around I felt comfortable and confident, having practiced this day so many times with TestMasters. I ended up getting a 179, much better than I ever could have imagined on my first day in the program.

I owe a tremendous amount of my success to TestMasters for providing me with all of the tools that are necessary in order to do well on the LSAT. They made sure I was well prepared for the test, as well as the test day itself. I highly recommend this fantastic service. If you want to improve your score, and are willing to put in the necessary work to do that, then take TestMasters. You won’t be sorry.”

“TestMasters was the best decision I could have made to prepare for the LSAT. Their method of breaking down question types and teaching strategies for approaching them was incredibly helpful and my instructor was awesome. The materials provided had everything I could possibly need to prepare and more real LSAT questions for practice than I could possibly finish. I recommend TestMasters to anyone who is serious about doing their best on the LSAT.”
