LSAT Prep Options in Philadelphia

“Preparing for the LSAT can be a stressful undertaking. For me, TestMasters eased that stress. I hadn’t even cracked a prep book before my TestMasters course began, so I can say with confidence that TestMasters gave me the structure and support I needed to raise my score immensely. The TestMasters curriculum begins by teaching the core logical concepts on which the test hangs. By first getting a strong grasp of the constructs that underlie the LSAT, I was well equipped to absorb the subsequent material, and did so at a fast pace. The course also did a great job of pointing out patterns and trends in the questions, which proved incredibly valuable on test day. Furthermore, both during and after the course, I had the support of the full TestMasters staff, and each person I interacted with, whether in person or online, was devoted to my success. Moreover, the individualized support I received from my live class instructor, Robin Singh, also the course author, was truly wonderful and exceeded my expectations. Not only was he always available for questions, but he was able to target my weaknesses and suggest methods for improvement. If you want to feel prepared and assured on test day, choose TestMasters!”

“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.”

“Intro: I came into the LSAT TestMasters class 20 months removed from college, brain ice cold, never having seen an LSAT question before. On my first diagnostic I got a 149. Four months later I was staring, jaw-dropped, at an email telling me I got an LSAT score of 171. 98th percentile baby. This is my story.

I was getting ready to call Princeton Review to sign up for their LSAT class. For no other reason than I knew it existed, and Princeton sounded smart. Yes, I’m a marketing sucker. Fortunately, a friend of mine had taken the LSAT previously and recommended something called TestMasters. ‘Why?’ I wanted to know, should I drop the extra money for something I had never heard of? Her response: ‘It actually teaches you logic. And I’ve seen materials from other classes—they don’t compare to TestMasters.’ I checked her wallet for a TestMasters employment ID card - none existed. I was convinced and I signed up.

I took the spring class in New York in preparation for the June test. From the start I knew I’d made the right choice. For the first 5 weeks, stopwatches don’t exist. It’s about getting the questions right, understanding why, understanding what the question is asking, and most importantly understanding the logic behind it all. My instructor was a great teacher for this. She was patient with every question and explained everything to us ‘like we were 6-year-olds’ to steal a Denzel quote from ‘Philadelphia.’ This was critical - the LSAT is unlike any test you’ve ever taken. Every word matters, every word that’s NOT there matters, every comma matters, and to assume will make an...well you know the expression.

What works at TestMasters is the methodical pace and timing of the classes. Each class focuses on specific question types, and the repetitions in the homework hammer the lesson home. The next class builds off of the concepts learned from the previous class. If you’re building a little ‘logic house’ in your brain, each class is a brick of its own that cannot be laid until the previous layer has settled in. Once the lessons ended, there was enough extra material to work through my weaknesses until I was satisfied. By the beginning of June, I was doing—literally and figuratively—LSAT questions in my sleep.

TestMasters is geared towards teaching you to think the way law schools want you to think. It’s not all about test-taking tricks or memorization; the focus of the class was to provide a theoretical foundation upon which to build your understanding of the test. Do the work, show up to class, and take the diagnostics seriously, and there is no reason you can’t see a 22-point jump in your score like I did. I was looking at state schools before—now the top 10 is within reach. I have my teacher and TestMasters to thank.”

“TestMasters was incredibly helpful in my preparation for the LSAT. Prior to taking the course in the summer going into my senior year, I had completed a book of practice LSAT problems. However, even when I was getting questions right, I didn’t always know how I had arrived at the answer. The TestMasters instructors truly take the time to review all of the question types, and make sure that you understand why the right answers are correct and why the wrong answers are not. The homework and diagnostics help to build up your ability and confidence as the test date grows nearer. In the middle of the summer, after Diagnostic 3, I was stuck at 158 and was unsure if I could succeed on the LSAT. I remember being frustrated and upset, but ultimately I was able to use this to motivate myself and work harder on the homework and, with a personal tutor provided by TestMasters, I peaked during the last month leading up to the exam. After scoring in the high 150s/low 160s, I was finally able to score consistently in the 163-165 range. The supplemental diagnostics TestMasters provides were helpful in getting used to the test and gauging my performance. On the final diagnostic I took, I scored a 165. Because it was during the week before the actual LSAT, I was able to have the confidence I needed going into the test. Throughout the actual LSAT, I told myself this was just another TestMasters diagnostic. Thanks to the realistic atmosphere of the diagnostics, the only added pressure I felt was the night before the test. I am so thrilled with my score and the teaching/training method of TestMasters.”

“To be honest, I’ve always been wary of test preparation programs because so many of them promise the world and then fall far short on delivery. TestMasters, on the other hand, truly stands apart. When I took my first diagnostic test, I scored a 166. Because I was actually pretty satisfied by this score without any preparation, I wondered how much TestMasters could help. When I received my score from test day and saw that I got a 177, I got my answer. I am very excited about my application possibilities now and I couldn’t have done it without TestMasters.

The key to the program’s success is its total mastery of the test itself. Robin Singh and his team have developed an intensive course that leaves no stone unturned and no concept untouched. No matter what your skill level is when you enter into the program, TestMasters sees to it that you excel. Many test preparation programs teach you tricks to try to get around the questions, but TestMasters teaches you how to beat the test makers at their own game. By the end of the course, I felt like I already knew the answer after reading the question stem. And by the time I walked into the test center and saw other students who were nervous, I was able to relax because I knew that I had been prepared by the best.

No matter what score you start off with, TestMasters can help you reach your goal score and beyond. I can’t emphasize enough how amazing of a program TestMasters is. Forget the other LSAT study guides, forget other prep classes, TestMasters is all you need to destroy the LSAT when test day comes around. I certainly would not have a 177 without TestMasters, and for that I will always be thankful.”

“I can say for sure that I would not have increased my score nearly as much as I did without TestMasters. My instructor was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. From answering the toughest questions from the homework, to encouraging us to make full use of the extensive online resources that TestMasters offers, to explaining logical reasoning in a way that was easy to understand and put into practice, she was instrumental in engaging the students in my class with the materials. For me, TestMasters was worth every penny!”

“When I asked two friends who are now enrolled at Columbia Law School which prep course to take, they answered unequivocally: TestMasters. So I signed up for their late summer course to prepare for the October LSAT. My instructor was fun, smart, and engaging; most importantly, he could convincingly explain the correct answer to any question thrown at him. The TestMasters course made it easy to identify the types of questions I needed to focus on, but also ensured I got enough practice in all areas. Furthermore, all the questions used in lessons and homework are from past LSATs, which meant there were no surprises on the real thing. TestMasters had a good balance of in-class instruction with individual attention when needed. The course resources and academic support provide explanations for those questions which might not be covered during the lessons. I have no regrets about taking TestMasters–they helped me exceed my target score by several points!”

“I had entered the TestMasters course with what I felt was a relatively mediocre score (153 on an official LSAT) and I even went down on my first diagnostic (151). I did not feel confident about applying to my preferred law schools, and I was especially annoyed because I felt that my score did not properly represent my previous work in college and high school. While I had excelled in my courses that emphasized critical thinking and writing (history and philosophy classes), for some reason my skills were not translating onto my LSAT score. My TestMasters class helped me to improve my score greatly. My teacher was extremely dedicated to helping us perform better on test day, and the homework assignments greatly improved my ability to break questions down and locate the answers. I had improved by 10 points by the time of the second diagnostic and continued to score in the 160s afterward. I got my highest score yet (164) when I took the official LSAT again. I now feel much better about applying to law school, and I thank the people at TestMasters for helping me to realize my goals.”

“TestMasters was absolutely the right choice for me. Before I began the course, the LSAT seemed daunting; I didn’t know where to start studying. TestMasters helped by breaking the test down into problem types and providing detailed explanations of how to solve each one. In addition, my instructor was both informative and engaging. By the end of the course I felt well-prepared to take the test, and I ultimately improved 16 points from my first diagnostic. TestMasters really made the difference for me. Anyone aiming for the top law schools should seriously consider this course.”

“The TestMasters course is amazing, and I can say with absolute honesty that I wouldn’t have been able to garner that much of a score increase without it. First, the materials they supply you with are invaluable—outside the course lessons, you will still have more than enough material to study on your own, which is just as important. Second, my instructor was engaging, funny, incredibly knowledgeable, and always available to his students. Having that in-class experience with definitely made a difference, and being able to take full LSAT practice tests in similar test conditions helped prepare me for game day.”

“I researched the different LSAT prep options before deciding to take the TestMasters course. I read a lot of positive reviews about TestMasters and they were all warranted. I decided to take the self-paced online version of the course, which was a great balance of structure and flexibility. I was able to set up a study plan and stick with it. The videos were engaging and informative, and the diagnostic tests and analyses were helpful in identifying which problem types were difficult for me. Thanks to TestMasters, schools have been reaching out to me, offering me fee waivers, and asking me to apply. I owe the huge jump in my score to TestMasters and I recommend the course because it really works.”

“I was very happy with the online resources TestMasters offered that enabled me to study for the LSAT at home and at my own pace. The practice exams were extremely helpful, particularly as I was able to get instant feedback on the results of my practice exams and identify which problems I needed to work on. Most importantly, the ability to watch videos by Robin Singh explaining how to solve questions I had trouble with was an incredibly effective way to improve my test-taking abilities and target the types of problems I found most difficult. I could not be happier with how I did on the LSAT and with the online resources available through TestMasters.”
