LSAT Prep Options in Salem

“I feel that the TestMasters LSAT course was an excellent investment. Before signing up, I asked a number of friends in law school whether a prep course was worth the investment (as compared to independent study), and if so which one. The friends I asked surveyed their peers and I got quite a few responses. Most of the responders suggested taking a course, and of those, the vast majority recommended TestMasters. In fact, a number of people expressed dissatisfaction with courses they had taken through other companies, but I received no such reports regarding TestMasters. I chose to take the TestMasters course rather than study independently, and I am glad that I did for a number of reasons. First, the course required that I study much more that I would have on my own; essentially it offered a sort of imposed discipline. Second there were a countless number of actual LSAT questions available through TestMasters. Third, the course materials went way beyond practice problems. I learned what types of problems I would be more or less likely to face on test day, and strategies for dealing with the different types of questions. Fourth, the diagnostic tests prepared me mentally for the actual test day—I was a nervous wreck when I took the first diagnostic, but by the end of the course, I was so familiar with the test and the test-taking environment (which TestMasters does a very effective job of simulating) that I felt calm and collected on test day. Finally, my TestMasters instructor offered several pieces of ‘last-minute’ advice to the class in the week immediately before the test that, although not intuitive, proved very effective at keeping me calm, well-rested, and confident in the days and hours leading up to the actual LSAT.

The TestMasters course prepared me not only for the LSAT, but for law school as well. I did not have much exposure to concepts such as argument structure or logical reasoning as an undergraduate science major. However, as a result of the course, I am now confident in my logical reasoning and argument deconstruction skills, which will surely serve me well in law school.”

“I went into my TestMasters class absolutely terrified. My performance on the first diagnostic test made me doubt whether I even wanted to be a lawyer. But about halfway through the class I realized I was making significant headway thanks to the hands-on instruction my TestMasters instructor gave me. It was a challenging and frustrating class at times, but in the weeks before the LSAT I became calm and confident, and as a result of all the work I did with TestMasters, my actual LSAT score amazed me—I thought I might improve 8 or 10 points, but I improved 18. Now I am getting letters from schools like UCLA, Duke, and the University of Virginia congratulating me on my score and inviting me to apply for free. I never thought I’d be one to write one of these testimonials, but I never could have done this without TestMasters. TestMasters buys the rights to all previous LSAT questions and uses those in class and on the homework to teach students what they can really expect to see on the LSAT. By the end of the class, we had seen every LSAT question in existence and spent 6 hours each week with our instructor. If I can give future LSAT takers a piece of advice, it’s to remain calm, trust that you will learn the material in time, and take TestMasters over other courses because it’s more than worth the money and the time you put into it.”

“The first time I took the LSAT, I studied on my own with a bunch of Kaplan books and LSAC tests. I got a 157, and I decided I could, and would, do better. So, after reading through reviews and class descriptions online, I chose TestMasters and got a 169 after taking their course. I attribute my improvement to the formal logic drills which are invaluable for nervous test takers, to the clever strategies that focus your test skills into LSAT mastery, and to the enormous amount of questions you’re assigned each week that make every new question you come across seem like something you’ve already seen before. Also, their instructors were able to clearly explain all the tough LSAT questions in a way that enabled you to get other tough ones right when you encountered them. From what I can tell, TestMasters has the most selective hiring process and I don’t think any other LSAT course has the quality of instructors that I had at TestMasters.”

“Before taking TestMasters, I was very skeptical about the benefits of an LSAT test prep course. The LSAT is supposed to test how you think, so how can a test prep company prepare me in any way that I couldn’t do myself? Well, the answer is: if that test prep company is TestMasters, then you can learn a lot more than you could have imagined. What makes the TestMasters course so unique is that it teaches you the logic necessary for the LSAT. I was fortunate to take the TestMasters course with the creator, Robin Singh, and he taught me how to read each question on the LSAT carefully, analyze the information present, think about the missing information, and find the flaws in the argument’s construction. This type of technique is not only important for scoring well on the LSAT but vital for success in law school. Had I not taken the TestMasters course, I would have studied on my own, taken a few past LSAT tests, read a few test prep books, and could have scored decently on the LSAT. But I would never have scored as high as I did nor gained the insight I have as to how to think critically and logically not only for the LSAT but for law school. If you are going to make an investment in a test prep program, you should get all the value you can out of it. TestMasters offers the greatest value towards your score on the LSAT and towards your future.”
