LSAT Prep Course Options in Schenectady

“I took the TestMasters self-paced online LSAT prep course and could not have had a better experience. Everything in the course was very well organized. Robin Singh, the instructor in the videos, is a genius and teaches the simplest ways to approach these questions. From the time of my first diagnostic to my actual LSAT, I improved 10 points! I know firsthand how daunting it is to choose a course, but I can confidently recommend TestMasters to anyone looking for LSAT prep. If you utilize the insane amount of resources they provide, you will surely improve! Loved the course!!”

“Before enrolling in TestMasters, I had used a few prep books to help me study, but none of them had as comprehensive a strategy for how to succeed as TestMasters does, and none were as ambitious. Our instructor told us we should all shoot for 180s and showed us how taking the LSAT was a teachable skill we could improve on. When I finally took the real test, I had a strategy for every type of question that I knew would work for me, and I knew exactly what to expect from the test creators. Thanks to TestMasters, I was able to increase my score by 18 points.”

“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 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.”

“My experience with TestMasters was so positive that I found myself advertising the course at the test center during my actual LSAT examination. I came into the course assuming I would have no problem scoring about 170 because I’ve always been good at standardized tests. On my diagnostic, I scored a 152 and was almost ready to give up the law school dream altogether. But after ten weeks with many hours of in-class instruction and many more hours of homework, my score went up to a 171. What I loved about TestMasters is that we weren’t learning tricks to magically do better on this test; instead, we were just learning the proper approaches one must take to different types of questions, learning how to spot flawed reasoning in arguments, and learning techniques that allowed us to do questions quickly. Also, the materials that TestMasters provides its students with are endless. Even if one has done every single homework problem and every single practice exam, you can still find many hours worth of supplemental practice problems to do in the weeks leading up to the LSAT. Finally, the academic support service that students can use at any time is yet another reason why TestMasters is amazing. I highly and unconditionally recommend TestMasters.”

“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 came into my TestMasters course concerned whether it was even possible to improve to the score I wanted after taking my first diagnostic. I was immediately impressed, however, by the organization of the course and the immense knowledge of my instructor. He had the ability to easily explain even the most complex and difficult concepts in a way that everyone could understand. It is obvious that TestMasters rigorously trains its instructors so they are well-equipped to answer any and every question, and I was very grateful for this. I quickly found my confidence increasing as I attended each class and worked through the homework. TestMasters gives each student an immense amount of material that is presented in an effective, well-organized way. I found the diagnostic tests extremely helpful because they really simulate the test day environment. The day of the real test, I felt extremely prepared and confident because of TestMasters. I was committed to improving my score and I would not have done nearly as well without the course. TestMasters provides its students with the knowledge, strategies, and materials that with hard work enable any dedicated test taker to succeed. I would recommend it to anyone taking the LSAT.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“My experience with TestMasters was very rewarding and I recommend it to anyone looking for help on the LSAT. The company gives you an overwhelming amount of resources so you will have plenty of material to practice with and improve your score. My teacher Sam Lehman was great both in his classes and in the one-on-one tutoring sessions I had with him. He was patient, thorough, and encouraging, and he made sure I understood how to find the right answers in an efficient fashion. As long as you are willing to put in your best effort, with TestMasters you will be able to reach your ideal score.”

“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.”
