LSAT Prep Course Options in Alexandria

“My decision to enroll in a TestMasters course was based on the calculation that I would need a score in the 170s to have a legitimate shot at a top tier law school with programs, curricula, and opportunities that would make the investment of law school tuition worth my while. After completing the course and scoring a 172 on the actual LSAT I can say that the decision was validated. My initial score of 154 was probably not an indicator of where I would have been without TestMasters, since I would have purchased practice tests to prepare, yet I am convinced that I would not have been able to crack the 170 barrier without the strategies and resources made available to me through TestMasters. I made a point of doing every homework question and attending every class to get the most out of my time with the program and if you are willing to do that, you will see a dramatic improvement not just in your test score, but also in your understanding of the concepts underlying the test. The TestMasters approach is very effective, but it requires a significant commitment of your time and energy, particularly for the first 10-12 lessons. If you are willing to put in the time to be at each class and do each problem assigned, you will be satisfied with the program and the results. The teachers are all highly competent, the classes are illuminating, and the course materials (especially the video explanations) are very helpful. If you want to do very well on this test and are planning on enrolling in a prep course, this is the one to choose.”

“I absolutely could not have done it without TestMasters.

I am sure that this sentiment is echoed by many former students and I am not an exception. I can unequivocally say that based on my experience, TestMasters was a game changer. The first time I took the test (studying by myself) I was scoring mid-to-upper 160s while I was practicing. I was devastated when I scored a 159 on the real thing. I knew at this point that I would have to revise my strategy but I was really hesitant to pay for something I thought I should have been able to do myself. However, I decided to take the advice of some of my coworkers at the DOJ who had had success with TestMasters and it was worth every single penny. My instructor Anthony Meni was just absolutely incredible. I don’t think I’ve ever in my life had such an engaging and effective instructor. I’m definitely a worrier, but the support that Anthony gave our whole class was invaluable—we talked often on the weekends about my most nagging questions. I credit this class for helping me turn the corner on the most difficult questions on the LSAT. That’s where I really feel that the combination of classroom instruction, repetition, and superior reasoning methods outlined by Robin Singh resulted in my ability to retrain my brain. On my first diag, I scored a 164; on test day, I scored a 174, and to me that really just speaks for itself.”

“I am a high school math teacher, and that means working incredibly long hours. The TestMasters self-paced online course gave me the flexibility to study with my busy schedule. The online system is very straightforward and easy to follow. After watching the videos accompanying a lesson (usually about three hours), I would then complete the homework. Only after completing the homework can you go on to the next lesson, which ensures accountability and focus. This course would have been hard for me to do in person, but the online system allowed me to break up the lessons into an hour here or there, instead of commiting to three straight hours during busy workweeks. This flexibility was key.

Additionally, Robin Singh really gets to the heart of the exam. I felt like I understood every part of the test so well that I was not nervous about anything unexpected popping up on test day. Instead, I felt confident about my plan of attack, about the types of questions, about the format, and about the endurance needed to make it through the entire test. The studying and time that you put in at TestMasters will pay off.”

“I could not imagine a more comprehensive test prep program. My instructor made the classes engaging and accessible, and he did a great job of driving home the most important concepts. Furthermore, the online resources are a treasure trove. The video explanations really helped me learn how to best approach the questions. I’m really happy with my experience and recommend the live course unequivocally. Thank you TestMasters!”

“TestMasters is, by far, the best LSAT prep course. The teachers are superb, the course is rigorous yet manageable, and all of the materials are comprised of real LSAT questions. I took the course in Washington, DC. My instructor knew the material inside and out, was able to explain situations in a variety of ways to ensure that every student understood the question and answer, and was always willing to respond to the specific questions we had. The TestMasters course itself is efficient and unbelievably thorough. I did not feel like a minute of class time was ever wasted and I felt prepared to answer any and all question types. Additionally, the TestMasters lesson and homework questions are excerpted directly from old LSAT tests and organized by type, which allows for the best preparation possible. I recommend TestMasters to everyone who is interested in significantly increasing their LSAT score!”

“My experience with TestMasters was great, and I truly believe it helped move the needle and get me into my top school. I started with the asynchronous online course and felt that it helped hone my skills and learn the LSAT inside and out. The TestMasters team was extremely accessible and helpful whenever questions did arise. Robin Singh personally dedicated significant time to reviewing questions and giving advice both in advance of my test and after I received my score, and his guidance was invaluable.

After my LSAT course, I used the admissions consulting program. Chris Tucker was extremely helpful in reviewing and refining my personal statement and supplemental essays and got me to a point where I felt very confident and ready to submit my applications. TestMasters was there with me through every stage of the application process and played a vital role in helping me get into my top school with a substantial scholarship. I am so grateful to the TestMasters team and extremely satisfied in my decision to participate in the LSAT prep course and the admissions consulting program.”

“The TestMasters course set me up to be primed and poised going into the LSAT. The class sessions provided clear demonstrations of how to approach different types of questions, and the homework and practice drills cemented these approaches. I found the video explanations of difficult review problems to be particularly helpful as I studied on my own, as they ensured that I always understood why I chose the wrong answer. My instructor, Anthony Meni, was an experienced teacher who consistently engaged with the class. He made an effort to know what was going on in the lives of students, which allowed him to give more personalized advice on studying. He always made himself available outside of class to answer questions, and this was especially helpful as I tried to schedule practice tests and review work optimally in the several weeks right before the LSAT. Most importantly, he instilled in me the mentality that should be used to approach the actual test, which helped me more than any amount of content review could have.”

“Having never performed well on standardized tests in the past, I knew I needed to seek help from experienced and knowledgeable professionals in order to perform my best on the LSAT. After the big-name, mainstream course I had signed up for was cancelled, I signed up for TestMasters on a whim, and thank goodness I did! Due to other commitments, I went with their self-paced online program and their academic support team helped me develop a reasonable schedule that I could stick to while still allowing me to maintain my everyday commitments.

I was excited and encouraged after scoring a 161 on my first diagnostic, but after almost two months of studying my score went up a measly two points to a 163. Needless to say, I was disappointed. On the verge of tears I spoke to one of their instructors, and she went through some of the questions I couldn’t wrap my head around, encouraged me that the course was not yet over, and cautioned that the climb through the 160s wouldn’t be an easy one.

I focused all my time and energy for the next month on learning the best techniques for tackling all different question types. TestMasters allows its students to truly get to know the LSAT through video instruction along with extensive lessons and homework materials. By the time test day rolled around, I had been taking daily diagnostics and felt confident and excited to prove myself through the skills that TestMasters taught me. I ended up scoring a 173 and received close to a full tuition scholarship at my dream school, which four months earlier seemed unattainable.

The climb through the 160s wasn’t easy, but TestMasters made it possible. Thank you TestMasters!”

“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 first heard about TestMasters through a friend who took the class and scored a 165. Her recommendation plus the results she got were enough for me to consider signing up. I had recently completed graduate school and took the summer off before starting work. I studied business in undergrad and graduate school and wanted to do something to ensure I got the best score I was capable of (so that I would only have to take the test once). I purchased two different LSAT books but without the classroom environment, self-study proved futile. I spoke with a different friend who took a LSAT class with Kaplan, and while she was happy with the class, she wasn’t satisfied with her score.

I visited the TestMasters website and saw that there was a class offered in my area. I registered for the class and looked forward to getting started. I took the first practice test with very little preparation and scored a 156. Shannon Sanders (our instructor) also took the time to explain the LSAT, how it factors into your application to law school, and what we needed to do as students to get the most out of the class.

TestMasters is definitely a rigorous program. By the end of the course you’ve seen every type of question you might see on the LSAT and you have enough practice to know how to approach the question, how to answer the question, how to recognize a right answer and how to recognize a wrong answer. At first all the questions seem overwhelming, but Shannon provided a system for us to see every type of question even if we couldn’t complete all the homework in between classes.

TestMasters’ diagnostic scoring is very helpful. In addition to knowing what score you would have received on the real LSAT and seeing which questions you got right and wrong, you also get a detailed report showing how you did on each specific question type. These reports allowed me to focus on my weakest areas as my test date approached.

I scored my highest on the final practice test, a 167. On the real thing I got a 165. There is no way I would’ve been able to achieve that without TestMasters!”

“I knew preparing for the LSAT while working full-time would be a challenge, but the course helped me score even higher than my goal. It definitely takes work and time, but TestMasters makes sure you focus on the right things and don’t waste any effort. I always felt like the class was an efficient and productive use of my time. My instructor carefully walked us through each of the questions in the materials and clearly taught us not only why the right answers were right but also why the wrong answers were wrong. He was great at feeling out if the class needed a question or topic explained in a different way or if he could move on to something else. I also appreciated the mix of conceptual and example-based modules. The course was very effective at picking out LSAT questions that incorporated concepts, strategies, and patterns that would continue to show up on other questions. When test day came, I felt ready and I was very happy with the results.”

“The TestMasters course helped me immensely. I scored a 163 on my first diagnostic and moved up to a 177 on the actual test. The course taught me a new way of logical thinking that is essential to success on the LSAT. It was a significant time commitment, but in the end all of the work paid off. By the day of the test, no question on the LSAT was a surprise to me, and most questions felt very familiar. I have heard mixed reviews of other LSAT prep courses, but never a bad review of TestMasters. I strongly recommend this course.”
