LSAT Prep Course Options in Newburgh, NY

“I was referred to TestMasters by a friend who had recently taken the LSAT. After I did some research and checked schedules, it seemed as though the TestMasters course was the best fit for me, and that proved to be the case. Its creator, Robin Singh, has broken down the LSAT into components/types of questions and set them up in a way that’s easily digested. They have a lot of good techniques for getting to the correct answer. Also, for the two-plus months that I spent studying for the LSAT, the TestMasters website was my best friend. The site is clear and easy to navigate and has pretty much everything an LSAT student might need.

I knew I had the potential to do well on the LSAT but I was not sure how I was going to get there. TestMasters was the answer.”

“Before starting to study for the LSAT I was very nervous about how I would do on the test. I had heard about all these really smart kids and how they were doing amazing, but I thought there was no way I would be able to compete. The TestMasters course taught me how to think in a new way and how to apply this new form of thinking to the questions and answers. The private tutoring I additionally purchased helped me with personal things that I was struggling with, and the online explanations were so helpful in making things clear. I have a bunch of other friends who are also taking TestMasters and love it, and I would recommend TestMasters to anyone studying for the LSAT.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I would certainly recommend taking the TestMasters course to anyone interested in taking the LSAT. In the summer I decided I would register to take the September LSAT, and I signed up for the TestMasters course only days before the first diagnostic. Due to the instruction I received at TestMasters, my score quickly rose into the 170s on my diagnostics, and I scored a 172 on the real LSAT. I am not naturally a logical person, so I was pleased with this score. My TestMasters instructor was a vibrant teacher who was clearly committed to helping each student reach his or her highest potential. Taking TestMasters was also helpful because it familiarized me with the material on the LSAT and presented the underlying logic of the LSAC test writers. By the end of the course, I had a solid understanding not only of why certain answers were correct, but also of why LSAC had asked the question in the first place and why the question was framed that way. I had learned what LSAC was testing on each question. This improved my timing, as I learned to predict the right answer from the question stem before I had read any of the answer options. This also helped my performance on the more difficult questions, as I was able to move beyond the convoluted language and bizarre inverted sentences to discern the logic behind the questions.”

“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.”

“Signing up for TestMasters is one of the best decisions I made with regard to the LSAT. The program is extremely thorough and the materials are extensive beyond what I could have imagined. The online dashboard was invaluable. I can’t imagine taking the LSAT without having prepared through TestMasters. My teacher was incredibly knowledgeable and always able to answer any questions I had. TestMasters is the best of the best, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality LSAT course. I couldn’t have gotten the score I got without TestMasters!”

“If you sign up for TestMasters, be prepared…this course is rigorous. Do not sign up for it unless you have several hours a day to hone in on the techniques they teach. This course contains no gimmicks or tricks. It progresses like a math class—often, you’ll be taught skills and concepts in class that build upon previous lessons. It’s the type of learning where an hour or so of practice each day benefits the student far more than cramming 10 hours of HW into a day or two each week. This is because you will be developing an actual skill set to methodically analyze new, challenging and diverse questions—not just relying on pure repetition to increase your score. Even though this is true, you will still see every question type hundreds of times and invest well over 200 hours into the LSAT by the end of this course as well.

I found that every LSAT had its own unique curveballs and subtleties, and TestMasters taught me to recognize these scenarios and exploit them to my advantage when appropriate. Every question used in class and the homework comes from a real LSAT previously administered by LSAC. By the end of the course, there was not a single question (out of thousands) I got wrong that my instructor or the academic support staff was unable to help me with. They understand all the questions with stunning accuracy and are extremely talented at explaining the logic behind any question. No question felt like it was outside my understanding or capability by the end of the course.

I also thought my instructor went the extra mile and took his job very seriously. It was clear that he took everyone’s score as a personal reflection of his own skills as a teacher. His confidence in our abilities as his class as well as during private conversations with him was very reassuring and appreciated. I never felt uncomfortable venting or having a private mild freak out moment with him when test day seemed so close (thank you for your patience Jeff—you are the man!).

At the end of the course I was really psyched to take my exam. After many diagnostic exams and months of practice, the real test day felt routine. It was a surprisingly comfortable and familiar experience once I sat down to take the exam in spite of my nervousness leading up to it. I went from a first diagnostic score of 149 to a final score of 164 on test day. My increase in score jumped me over half of all LSAT test takers and it’s all due to this course.

This is an investment I would recommend to any person interested in law school. I strongly urge you not to go with competitors because this course is the real deal. Stories of friends who took other courses truly lead me to believe that the other courses are mere imitations of the TestMasters material. TestMasters is the course that changed LSAT prep, and in hindsight, it is easy to see why.

UPDATE: After scoring a 164, I decided to retake the TestMasters course and subsequently scored a 170!”

“TestMasters’ course structure, analytics, and academic support (shoutout to Megan Giacomantonio) were super valuable. The greatest challenge for me was balancing my own perfectionism with smart time management on the test so I could get to every question, and that is why drilling and practicing timing strategies played a big part in my 22-point score increase. But the tools TestMasters provided are what allowed me to build a systematic and complete knowledge of the test and its content, so I was then able to dedicate my focus to timing.”

“I cannot say enough good things about TestMasters. My instructor was the man, an absolutely awesome teacher. I started off with zero knowledge of the LSAT and ended up with the score that I really wanted. Of course I had to put in the time and work to achieve it but TestMasters paved the way for me. I recommend TestMasters to everyone who is planning on taking the LSAT.”

“I initially heard about TestMasters through my older brother who took the course and scored a 172 on his LSAT. He recommended it highly so I figured it was worth trying. I started out by getting a 164 on my first diagnostic, but, after meeting my instructor, Amelia Brasher, I was optimistic that my score could improve. She was intelligent, energetic, fun, and, most importantly, genuinely interested in seeing us all do well.

The classes were well designed and incredibly effective. They taught all of the necessary methods and tools for taking the test. The homeworks, while often extremely long, really helped solidify the lessons that were taught in the preceding classes. Furthermore, the TestMasters website was an essential resource for additional study material.

By the end of the course my diagnostic scores were routinely in the mid-170s. I felt that the TestMasters program had adequately prepared me for the actual LSAT. By the time the test day rolled around I felt comfortable and confident, having practiced this day so many times with TestMasters. I ended up getting a 179, much better than I ever could have imagined on my first day in the program.

I owe a tremendous amount of my success to TestMasters for providing me with all of the tools that are necessary in order to do well on the LSAT. They made sure I was well prepared for the test, as well as the test day itself. I highly recommend this fantastic service. If you want to improve your score, and are willing to put in the necessary work to do that, then take TestMasters. You won’t be sorry.”
