LSAT Prep Course Options in Richmond

“I cannot recommend TestMasters enough. I heard about the course from a friend who was urged to choose TestMasters over other test prep companies by her college’s pre-law advisors. I had attempted to study on my own and was scheduled to take the test, but I was disappointed that I kept scoring in the low 160s with no sign of improvement. At the last minute, I decided to postpone taking the LSAT and signed up for the course. One of the main reasons I took the class was to take diagnostics under official test-taking conditions, but I got so much more out of it than that. My instructor was the best! He addressed every question we had while keeping the pace fast enough to be interesting, and he made the class fun. By attending every meeting and doing the homework, I was able to increase my score to a 175, even with a full-time job. I work at a law firm and even my bosses were impressed! I actually did better on the real LSAT than I had done on my last couple diagnostics, and that was due to the confidence I gained from taking TestMasters.”

“I recommend TestMasters completely. The course was very engaging and beneficial and the way it was taught made attending class enjoyable. For example, the way the materials were organized and divided made it easy to compartmentalize the tools to solve each type of question and made the information easier to manage. It was especially important that we met twice a week, three hours at a time, so that when test day came I felt comfortable working for that long of a time period. The homework questions were extremely helpful because they were all from real exams. The diagnostics helped with both timing and mental preparation for test day. TestMasters is the best in LSAT preparation.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I had studied on my own for the June LSAT, spending hours every week while teaching and going to school full time independently working through various practice books and reading different companies’ strategies. When I received my score of 169, I was slightly disappointed, but wasn’t sure how much of a difference it would make for me to retake the test. Two friends—one a former TestMasters student, and the other a former TestMasters instructor—encouraged me to look into taking a course, specifically a TestMasters one, to see if I could boost my score.

Since I work full-time, I chose to take the self-paced online course, so that I could study around my schedule. The combination of video lessons and printed materials taught me to approach the test in a whole new way, and helped me to correct previous mistakes that had previously cost me points or even just valuable time. The TestMasters methodology really clicked with me, and I was able to gain a better understanding of what the LSAT assesses and how.

I had been reluctant to shell out money for an expensive program, but I would happily make the same choice again. Completing the online coursework independently allowed me to raise my score from a 169 in June to a 174 in October, and hopefully will help me to gain admission to the kinds of law schools I’d like to attend!”

“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!”

“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!”

“At first the TestMasters course seemed like a big commitment, but in the long run I felt it actually saved me a lot of time. I tried self-studying but realized it was too inefficient; I lost a lot of time just searching for (and often failing to find) explanations that addressed my specific problems.

I found TestMasters to be invaluable to my LSAT prep. In addition to a searchable archive of every published LSAT question, TestMasters provides a score report for each test so you can see what types of questions you consistently struggle with. Instructors have access to this information so they can tailor reviews to students’ specific problems, and I often consulted the academic support team for further explanations. My in-class instructor was really enthusiastic and always encouraged us not to be intimidated by the LSAT which made studying for it a lot less tedious. By the end of the course I had done so many practice problems and full tests that when I finally took my LSAT, I wasn’t nervous because I felt I had prepared well.”

“I definitely made the right decision going with TestMasters for my LSAT preparation course. Everything about it was great, especially the instructor, who knew the material inside and out and was committed to going the extra mile to make sure we understood the material. Not only did I learn a lot but I had a great time and my instructor is still a source of advice on anything law school related even now that the course is over. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor or experience with a LSAT preparation course. Through my hard work and with the help of TestMasters I was able to do well on the LSAT, which has led to acceptance letters from some of the nation’s better law schools.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
