LSAT Prep Course Options in Salem, MA

“When I decided to apply to law school, I became very overwhelmed by the idea of studying for the LSAT while working a full-time job. I knew that I needed some structure in my studying and after much research decided to take the TestMasters LSAT course. Although I was working between 50-60 hours per week, the course was designed in a way that made it possible for me to attend classes and still make time for myself to complete (most of) the homework. I scored a 149 on the first diagnostic and, even though many people told me to not be concerned with the score of diagnostic 1, I was worried. I scored a bit higher on each diagnostic and on the actual test I scored a 164—a 15 point jump I attribute completely to the TestMasters curriculum and Sam Lehman, my TestMasters instructor. Without the TestMasters course, I wouldn’t have had the resources nor the structure I needed to succeed on the LSAT. The course was even more positive than I expected and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interested in taking an LSAT prep course. It is 100% worth the money you pay.”

“When it comes to getting into law schools, your LSAT score is the biggest factor. Just a few extra points can put you into a better range of schools and make the difference when it comes to scholarship money. That said, my decision to attend a full-length TestMasters course has paid for itself, and then some.

Before taking the course, my approach on several practice tests I’d purchased was extremely haphazard. I had no methodology for breaking down the questions; I had no system. TestMasters has basically done the work for you, categorizing all the question types that appear on the LSAT as well as the types of passages you will encounter. They also provide you with more practice questions and material drawn from actual LSATs than you will likely ever be able to complete (this is a good thing!!). The TestMasters course not only teaches you the techniques to correctly answer the questions, but breaks down how you are doing on each question type, and thus allows you to see and target your weaknesses. For example, at a point I was getting more Type 2 Questions wrong on the Logical Reasoning sections than I was all other types of questions combined on those sections. Without TestMasters’ methodology of breaking down the question types, I would have remained woefully unaware of this glaring weakness. Studying alone, I never could have recognized this.

Of course, by itself the course is no magic bullet, but if you are willing to put the work in I can virtually guarantee your score will improve. I highly recommend TestMasters to anyone who is serious about law school and willing and able to put the time in that mastering the LSAT requires. Finally, a quick shout-out to my instructor Matt Peterson. He was enthusiastic about the material even when it might get a little dry towards the end of a three-hour class and did a great job of answering our questions. Thanks Matt!!”

“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 have nothing but positive things to say about TestMasters. It was extremely well-hyped to me by friends and colleagues who had taken or were familiar with the course, and it lived up to my high expectations. It’s not magic; you definitely have to commit yourself to the course and completing the significant amount of homework, but the quality of the course’s methodology and classroom instruction is what lays the groundwork. Anthony Meni was an amazing instructor who seemed to know every student’s name by the second class, and he was more than happy to talk things over if I missed a class or underperformed on a diagnostic. Overall, TestMasters was a top-notch test-prep experience; it’s a large and successful company, and the quality of its product and customer service appears to be what got it there.”

“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.”

“When I first considered taking the LSAT, the thought of studying for such a long and comprehensive test was quite daunting. However, these fears were quickly alleviated once I started my TestMasters class and explored TestMasters’ online resources. The curriculum broke down the LSAT into manageable pieces and the online videos and exercises answered any question that arose. With practice, I became very comfortable with each aspect of the test. On test day, I was totally confident that I would not encounter any surprises because I had already seen and practiced every type of question the test could ask.

Just as valuable as TestMasters’ extensive preparatory materials was the fabulous teaching I received. My instructor was incredibly engaged with the class and always took the time, both during and outside of class, to ensure that everyone understood each concept. His energetic personality and easygoing but effective teaching style made studying for the LSAT far more fun and easy than I ever imagined. He not only taught me the test taking tips needed to ace the LSAT, but, far more importantly, he instilled in me a new, logic-based way of thinking and problem solving. Long after I forget the difference between Type 4 and Type 5 questions, I will still use these new problem-solving skills in many aspects of my life.”

“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!”

“Studying for the LSAT and working a full-time job can be an especially intimidating prospect. TestMasters gave me the tools and the practice materials necessary to make sure that every second I spent preparing was a step toward a better score on the real test. The quality of the teaching as well as the course’s focus on mastering each and every problem type on the LSAT is surely one of the most efficient routes to a great score. Don’t waste your time with other LSAT study books, TestMasters will provide you with all the tools you need, and you are guaranteed that every practice problem comes straight from the test itself. When the big day finally came around, I could not have felt more confident and prepared. Thank you TestMasters!”

“Taking the TestMasters self-paced online course allowed me to balance a full academic course load, a collegiate sport, and LSAT prep simultaneously. Studying by my own schedule allowed me to remain flexible and devote time to the areas that I needed most. Walking into the test center, I knew that I had as comprehensive an understanding of the exam as any other test taker and that is thanks to Robin Singh and TestMasters.”

“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.”
