“The TestMasters course is extremely well organized. The concepts addressed at the beginning are some of the more challenging, but they are the fundamental elements of the LSAT. The early presentation of these concepts allowed me plenty of time to learn and master them, and it also gave me a solid foundation to build upon as the course progressed. TestMasters also does a great job of breaking down questions by type and even subtype. For me, this approach worked very well as many of the types have specific techniques associated with them, so, as I was studying, I could readily associate the proper technique with when it should be applied. The techniques taught in the course are incredibly effective. Before I took the course, when I would see certain questions, I would spend a great deal of time pondering the question and end up selecting the wrong answer. The TestMasters techniques, however, enabled me not just to select correct answers, but to select those answers quickly and with confidence.
The course is centered around real LSAT questions, which helped me a lot as I moved into doing full-length practice tests because I was able to achieve an overall familiarity with the language of the exam and how questions were presented. During the lessons we would unpack each question, exploring what made the right answer correct and also what made the wrong answers incorrect. My instructor did an amazing job patiently answering every question we asked him, and he also asked great questions of us to ensure we actually understood the material. I also got a chance to learn from the questions my classmates had, which were often questions I would never think to ask, but questions whose answers provided additional clarity and insight for me. Each lesson was three hours long, and I expected those three hours to be extremely arduous, but the engaging set up made the lessons pleasant and productive. The homeworks are incredibly helpful as well. This is an exam that requires a ton of practice, and there is a myriad of practice questions and LSAT-related drills available. I found each homework important for solidifying the skills I was learning in class.
The LSAT is not an easy test and studying for it is not an easy endeavor, but the methodology TestMasters teaches makes the test extremely learnable and the course provided me with all of the resources I needed to achieve success.”
