LSAT Prep Course Options in Newton, MA

“The TestMasters course provided the structure and detail I needed to study for the LSAT. I found the carefully organized lesson plans, the hundreds of practice problems for each concept, and the online academic support for my specific questions to be extremely helpful. I followed the curriculum exactly and my score improved like clockwork. What’s more, it was actually enjoyable!

My favorite thing about the TestMasters approach is that it doesn’t try to teach you cheap tricks or shortcuts—you get plenty of strategic advice and tips for timing that are very helpful, but above all, they teach you how to really learn and understand the concepts behind the test. I didn’t feel like I had a superficial knowledge that would get me through the test—I felt like I knew the test, inside and out. I tell everyone I know to use TestMasters—it really is the best!”

“I really believe TestMasters was the best LSAT prep I could have done. I thought I could prepare for the test by myself, but after a couple of weeks of trying to do this through prep books and practice questions, I realized how hard it was to sit down and force myself to study while working two part-time jobs. I needed structure—a set time to learn the material. Before TestMasters, I felt like I was blindly going through the questions, but TestMasters identifies concrete patterns and concepts that apply to almost every LSAT question. TestMasters has studied literally every question in modern LSAT history and organized the questions in a way that was easy for me to understand and see common themes. There were no cheap tricks to learn, no blind guessing. There was a reason for every answer, and they made sure to equip you with the tools to identify those reasons, to really understand the ‘why’ behind an answer. The prep material was plentiful, the instructor was caring and effective, and the confidence I gained from taking this course was priceless. TestMasters is a great investment in your future.”

“TestMasters was worth every penny, and I cannot stress that enough. While other programs may provide tempting price deals, you simply can’t compromise quality. TestMasters provides first-rate teachers so comfortable with the curriculum you will never for a moment question their competency. On top of that, they provide more study material then you will ever get to...believe me, I tried! Taking TestMasters was by far the best decision I’ve ever made and I now have a score that will allow me to get into a great law school; and for that I am forever grateful. Take TestMasters and do the homework, you will knock the test out of the park.”

“I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with TestMasters or about my instructor. I recommend this course to everybody, which is really saying something because I am a student executive leader for the political science department and I talk to pre-law students about the LSAT almost exclusively. I thought the curriculum made sense and the homeworks, though challenging and frustrating when I was doing them, were so helpful and necessary in hindsight. What made this program most impactful was my instructor, Anthony Meni. He went above and beyond to help me through my LSAT process and, from what I have heard from other TestMasters students, I was not unique in this experience. I genuinely believe that he wanted each of us to succeed not only on the LSAT but in law school and as attorneys. He would frequently connect course concepts to practical experience (What skill is this question type trying to exercise? What about a legal practice might necessitate this skill?) to keep us grounded and to help us remember why the LSAT mattered for our goals. In a class of over 40 people, he knew my name and remembered basic facts about me (topics that confused me in the past, what my goal schools were, etc). I recently enrolled in my dream school with a merit-based scholarship and I absolutely attribute a percentage of my success to Anthony’s guidance and to the TestMasters curriculum.”

“Unlike other LSAT prep courses which try and teach tricks to answer LSAT questions or how to make your best guess, TestMasters teaches you how to find the correct answer every time. They teach you why that answer is right and every other answer is clearly wrong. They don’t take any shortcuts in their teaching methods and instead teach you how to think like the test writers. I loved going to my class and this made studying that much easier. My instructor not only took time to answer all of our questions, she encouraged us to challenge her thinking, until it was clear in all of our minds why the correct answer was correct. I ended up raising my score 30 points because TestMasters taught me how to think like the LSAT.”

“My first encounter with the LSAT was taking a free test available on LSAC’s website. My score was respectable but not as high as the score I knew I would need to get to be an attractive candidate to top law schools. Initially, I planned to prepare for the exam with just an LSAT prep book. However, my mother heard good things about TestMasters. ‘Why not?’, I thought. When I looked at the mountain of coursework from TestMasters, I wondered what I had gotten myself into. But after starting the course, I knew I’d made the right choice.They taught several techniques that allowed me to understand the test questions better and answer them quickly. I particularly found it helpful to learn how to diagram logical reasoning questions involving necessary and sufficient conditions. When I took the actual LSAT, I felt very well-prepared and calm and finished each section early. I am thrilled with my score and feel that the TestMasters course was much more beneficial than any book would have been.”

“I never presumed the LSAT to be a walk in the park, but after taking the first LSAT diagnostic I was seriously overwhelmed and found my score to be much lower than what I was hoping to accomplish. Even though I was discouraged, I resolved to stick out the course and see what happened. I am now confident that it was the best decision I could have made.

I attribute my success to my instructor and the TestMasters program. This course and their instructors are so different from other prep courses because of their approach and the sheer amount of resources given to you. Rather than teaching gimmicks and shortcuts—and believe me there are NO tricks to the LSAT—you are taught how to think and how to apply strategies to every single type of passage and question you may encounter. Not only was my instructor able to tell me why answers were correct, he was also able to explain exactly why all of the other answers were wrong. Because the answer choices sometimes have only slight variations in them, this was extremely useful.

In addition to the in-class hours, TestMasters provides you with extensive homework, supplemental material, and numerous full-length past LSATs. The minute that you have completed a practice exam, a detailed score report is waiting for you. This shows exactly which problems you got wrong and which types of questions they were, providing you with your areas of strength and weakness so you know what you need to work on to maximize your points. As long as you are willing and motivated to put in daily hours of extremely hard work and practice using these resources, you can literally train your mind to think like the LSAT and attack each problem rather than be intimidated.

Looking back on those months of intensive and focused preparation, dedication and sacrifice I now realize that it was all worth it because my score increased by 19 points! Thanks to TestMasters, I can now apply to a wide range of law schools and couldn’t be happier. This course is worth all the time and money, and should be recommended to anyone taking the LSAT.”

“TestMasters was phenomenal! Having experience with multiple TestMasters instructors, I can also say that each one was extremely competent and encouraging. They made us challenge ourselves, explain how and why we arrived at our answers in order to ensure we really understood each question. Not only did they help us master the test, but they also did their best to try and help us master our stress level, which is usually an obstacle in itself. When I walked into the exam, I felt ready, and even relatively calm. I knew TestMasters had prepared me in the best possible way, something I think the improvement in my score clearly reflects. If you’re willing to actually put in the time and work to get a top score on the LSAT, TestMasters is definitely the best resource available to do so.”

“TestMasters was absolutely fantastic. I was coming out of a great undergraduate school and had a goal of attending a top 20 law school. However my 40th percentile starting point was not going to get me anywhere I wanted to be, so I really have to give credit to the TestMasters course and my brilliant instructor Amelia Brasher for my 20-point score increase. Certainly there was a lot of hard work involved, but the classes were critical to my success. Amelia was always extremely clear in her explanations and made certain that a question was fully understood before moving on. Moreover, she always taught the class with a smile and a great attitude—something much needed in what could have become an even more stressful process. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate the TestMasters prep course. It got me to 170 and made me a competitive candidate for a top law school. I’d recommend—and have recommended—TestMasters to anyone taking the LSAT.”

“The TestMasters formula works; what you put in is what you get out. TestMasters offers you everything you need to improve your score—fantastic course materials, instructors, and practice tests with comprehensive explanations. However, there are no shortcuts in the process. When your instructor tells you in the first class that you need to spend 15-20 hours a week studying outside of class, they’re not lying. You have to be committed to see improvement. The good news is that if you are committed, TestMasters offers everything and anything you need to achieve your goals.”

“I improved my score by 23 points from my first diagnostic after four months of studying through TestMasters’ self-paced online prep course. The course is easy to follow, accommodates different learning paces, and uses repetition to reinforce essential strategies. In my experience, it took several months and 5-10 practice tests before I felt familiar enough with both the material and the experience of taking the test that I understood which building blocks of the course I needed to revisit and fortify. About a month before my scheduled test date, I was scoring considerably below my goal and had difficulty identifying much of a pattern in the question types I was getting wrong. I decided to work with a TestMasters tutor, Megan Giacomantonio, for several one-hour sessions. Megan was incredibly patient, thoughtful and generous with her time. She encouraged me to consistently employ the methodology (i.e. stopping at the stimulus to take it in, actively ID question types upon reading the question stems), which really turned everything around for me. I decided to delay my scheduled test date by a month, and with more practice, I began scoring consistently in the high 160s. I did not reach my goal of 170 until test day. I unequivocally recommend this course to anyone embarking on studying for the LSAT, particularly to folks working full-time. For me, a combination of delaying my scheduled test date by a month and working with a tutor one-on-one was instrumental to my success.”

“After taking TestMasters, I have no doubt that it is the best test prep course out there. Right from the beginning, TestMasters builds up your ability to use the tools necessary to handle any question that may come up, and the TestMasters philosophy and teaching methods were vital to my improving to the extent that I did. I had no need to buy any other practice materials or prepare in any other way. The course is organized very logically so that students can continually build on what they have already learned. TestMasters isn’t about teaching tricks, but rather about really understanding and learning how to tackle each question. Besides the instructor-led classes, the TestMasters online materials are extremely useful, thorough, and easy to navigate. The course offered so much well-organized practice that I felt completely confident on test day. The instructors are really committed to helping students, and they make sure that every concept is fully covered before moving ahead. I would recommend that anyone who is serious about taking the LSAT should enroll in a TestMasters course.”
