LSAT Prep Course Options in Elizabeth, NJ

“Before taking TestMasters, I took another popularly known LSAT class and received an average score on the test. I decided that I wanted to try again, and sought advice from some young, successful attorneys. All of the former TestMasters students recommended it highly. As this was not the case for some of the other well-known courses, I decided to try TestMasters.

The difference between TestMasters and my previous course was drastic. My TestMasters instructor was always excited to be there. Not only was he enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable, but he managed to do the seemingly impossible—he breathed life into LSAT questions! On one occasion we had a substitute, and the substitute was just as engaging as my regular instructor, which suggests that my great teacher was not the exception to the rule at TestMasters.

Before TestMasters, I could not fathom scoring much higher than I did on my first try. But as the course progressed I felt more confident and more efficient in my abilities across the board. Even as I improved past my own expectations, it still did not register that I could potentially score in the upper percentiles. TestMasters opened that door for me. I could not be happier that I chose this course. Undoubtedly, I will strongly recommend TestMasters in the future.”

“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.”

“After deciding to take the LSAT, I did not know which approach was best to study for the test. Some of the pre-law students on my campus were using self-study regimes, but the thought of studying for the test on my own seemed daunting. It was not a coincidence that the people that I talked to who did the best on the LSAT had also taken the TestMasters course. After doing some more research online, it became clear to me that TestMasters was definitely the best option. The course provides more than enough resources to be successful on the exam and the diagnostics I took each week were crucial to keeping track of my progress. I could have never improved 16 points on my own and I am so thankful I chose to take the TestMasters course.”

“TestMasters in general and my class instructor in particular have my undying thanks. I could not have gotten a 178 on the LSAT without TestMasters. From little things like the fact that an either/or construct implies ‘or both’ to bigger things like the proper way to diagram sufficient/necessary statements, the things I learned from the classes and materials were absolutely instrumental to my LSAT success.

My instructor was a great guy and at least as great a teacher. He was appropriately serious but maintained a sense of humor to leaven what can be a very stressful, anxious process of preparation. He was thorough but not ponderous and always made sure to address any lingering questions. TestMasters is an intensive course—6 hours of class a week could be rough, but he was able to make sure that the course was intensive without being intense. I feel lucky that he was my instructor.

More generally, the TestMasters course is very well put-together. The lessons are clear and the wealth of prep materials is astounding. I took the LSAT twice, and had more than enough practice questions with which to prepare for each. The strategies, tips, and advice are never less than spot-on and made a world of difference. I knew going in that it would require a high degree of self-motivation, but TestMasters makes it easy to apply oneself fully to the task.

I had several friends who insisted I take TestMasters. Having scored a 166 on my first prep test (without having done any prep), I was hesitant to put in the time and money. I am SO glad that I listened to them and made the investment.”

“When I decided to pursue law school, I was nervous about the LSAT because, in general, I did not perform well on standardized tests and I knew nothing about this particular test. My friend recommended I sign up for the TestMasters course because he did so and had fantastic results. Thankfully, I listened to him. I was crushed after I scored a 145 on my first diagnostic because I thought my dream of attending law school was over. I thought it would be impossible to achieve my goal of 160, and I considered giving up. However, my TestMasters instructor explained to me that the first test means nothing and told me about success stories of students improving by 20+ points, which made me believe that with TestMasters a 160 was still possible. Not only did I reach my goal, I far exceeded it. I am now receiving scholarships at schools that I first labeled as reaches, and I am a competitive applicant at schools that I used to only dream about attending. My 23-point increase is indicative of the incredibly effective methods taught by TestMasters to answer all of the different types of questions on the test as well as the dedicated and highly knowledgeable instructors.”

“I highly recommend TestMasters to all who are serious about crushing the LSAT. The TestMasters study program is challenging, thorough, and carefully designed to foster intimate familiarity with the test material such that, on test day, there are no surprises. My instructor was brilliant, yet always inviting and accessible, and my fellow classmates were just as eager to improve as I was. Applying to law schools with an LSAT score that is an accurate representation of my effort and ability is resoundingly fulfilling, and I am grateful that TestMasters was instrumental in helping me reach that crucial goal.”

“TestMasters is hands down the best investment I’ve ever made. I went up 22 points from my initial diagnostic solely from studying TestMasters methods and materials. Our instructor was an LSAT expert who could answer any question we had. He made himself available for as long as we needed help, no matter how much time it took. If you commit the time to use all that TestMasters has to offer, you will see a huge improvement in your score and your competitiveness in the application process. The cost of the class will be paid back tenfold in the forms of fee waivers, scholarships, and career opportunities based on your LSAT score. With my LSAT score increase, I’m now competitive at the top 14 schools as compared to schools ranked in the sixties and seventies with my initial diagnostic score.”

“Using TestMasters has been an incredible experience. My instructor was personable and helpful and truly made the three-hour classes pass by in an enjoyable way. The course materials are irreplaceable and really gave me an advantage over other students without the resources that I had. Any question I had at any point during the course was answered clearly and precisely by very competent instructors within a short amount of time, and they really tailored their answers to help me understand the material in my own way. Of course, watching Robin’s videos was also extremely helpful. It made me see that the same methodologies could be applied by any instructor with the same accurate results. Even small things were appreciated in this course, including the option to make up classes at any time. I would not have gotten my 171 without TestMasters!”

“I absolutely loved the TestMasters course! Our instructor Hailey Evans encouraged everyone in the class to participate and provided individualized feedback and answers to questions, which, in turn, enabled her to really cater to each of our strengths and weaknesses. We also learned from each other’s questions as well as from the planned lessons and course materials. This process of learning as a group demonstrated for me how well the TestMasters methodology truly worked. Although we each came in with a different way of looking at questions and a different degree of preexisting aptitude, the skills and tools that we were learning could be systematically applied to any given question by each of us.

I personally felt that this course made two major contributions to my test taking.The first was that when I chose an answer, I almost always knew with confidence exactly why that was the correct answer, as opposed to just feeling as though it was. The second contribution was the sheer volume of questions that we completed and reviewed, both on our own and in class, within the framework of given lessons. I became so familiar with the way that the LSAT writers structure their various questions and the common types of ’sucker choice’ answers, that I quickly began to see red flags in answer choices that I otherwise might have had a much harder time eliminating. This allowed me to get through the test questions more quickly while at the same time getting fewer wrong answers.”

“I took TestMasters with Chloe Hurley in preparation for the LSAT. When I first started, it was the first time I had ever seen the test and my score was a disappointing 143. With the help of TestMasters, I was able to score a 167 on the real thing after only twelve weeks of study. Chloe was consistently energetic and upbeat even though the class was from 7 to 10 at night and she made the course as interesting as possible, even through some especially tedious and frustrating material. She consistently answered all my questions, no matter how annoying or repetitive they were, in the most thorough ways possible and never made me feel dumb (even though sometimes I probably was). In the rare instance that she didn’t quite know the best explanation for something, she would go out of her way to find out the answer and relay it to the class. She was great and I would highly recommend her class to anyone preparing for the LSAT.

Beyond that, I was able to consistently watch refresher videos of Robin Singh teaching the lessons online, which was always helpful, especially after a particularly exhausting evening or a particularly difficult concept that needed a little more practice. Beyond that, the online academic support is literally the best. It’s like having a tutor without the extra cost – any question I had, they consistently made sure to answer in the best way possible. One moment stands out: there was this one instructor that recognized I was being lazy in my formulating of questions because I just wanted it explained to me without actually thinking why I got the wrong answer. She told me “I’m going to push back and I want you to explain what your actually thinking on this was”. At first I was irked at this because as we all know when you don’t understand something, it’s easy (and less embarrassing ) to just say explain it to me, but after a few times of this, I would get halfway through trying to explain my thought process and literally say “OH, that’s where I went wrong” and I can’t be more appreciative to her for making me work harder. This class obviously requires work (a lot of it), no one’s going to be doing it for you, but if you put the time and effort in, the support system is there to guide you through it and help you get the best score you can.”

“Intro: I came into the LSAT TestMasters class 20 months removed from college, brain ice cold, never having seen an LSAT question before. On my first diagnostic I got a 149. Four months later I was staring, jaw-dropped, at an email telling me I got an LSAT score of 171. 98th percentile baby. This is my story.

I was getting ready to call Princeton Review to sign up for their LSAT class. For no other reason than I knew it existed, and Princeton sounded smart. Yes, I’m a marketing sucker. Fortunately, a friend of mine had taken the LSAT previously and recommended something called TestMasters. ‘Why?’ I wanted to know, should I drop the extra money for something I had never heard of? Her response: ‘It actually teaches you logic. And I’ve seen materials from other classes—they don’t compare to TestMasters.’ I checked her wallet for a TestMasters employment ID card - none existed. I was convinced and I signed up.

I took the spring class in New York in preparation for the June test. From the start I knew I’d made the right choice. For the first 5 weeks, stopwatches don’t exist. It’s about getting the questions right, understanding why, understanding what the question is asking, and most importantly understanding the logic behind it all. My instructor was a great teacher for this. She was patient with every question and explained everything to us ‘like we were 6-year-olds’ to steal a Denzel quote from ‘Philadelphia.’ This was critical - the LSAT is unlike any test you’ve ever taken. Every word matters, every word that’s NOT there matters, every comma matters, and to assume will make an...well you know the expression.

What works at TestMasters is the methodical pace and timing of the classes. Each class focuses on specific question types, and the repetitions in the homework hammer the lesson home. The next class builds off of the concepts learned from the previous class. If you’re building a little ‘logic house’ in your brain, each class is a brick of its own that cannot be laid until the previous layer has settled in. Once the lessons ended, there was enough extra material to work through my weaknesses until I was satisfied. By the beginning of June, I was doing—literally and figuratively—LSAT questions in my sleep.

TestMasters is geared towards teaching you to think the way law schools want you to think. It’s not all about test-taking tricks or memorization; the focus of the class was to provide a theoretical foundation upon which to build your understanding of the test. Do the work, show up to class, and take the diagnostics seriously, and there is no reason you can’t see a 22-point jump in your score like I did. I was looking at state schools before—now the top 10 is within reach. I have my teacher and TestMasters to thank.”

“There is no other LSAT prep course that is as effective as TestMasters in explaining the methods and logic needed for the exam. The TestMasters system makes taking apart the LSAT easy and helps you become familiar with the type of questions the test makers like to ask. By the end of the course I found myself able to anticipate most of the answers before I even began reading the choices. I improved in every section, and using the strategies I learned in the course helped me to break down complex questions into simple forms. The resources that TestMasters provides along with the intelligent instructors ensure that the time you spend studying is worthwhile. In short, as long as you do the work, invest the effort to master the strategies, and familiarize yourself with the testing environment, with TestMasters it is impossible not to improve your performance on the LSAT.”
