<p>Hey,
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good LSAT prep course. I heard Testmasters is good, but Im looking for backing on it-- I know about Kaplan and PR, but I hear that they aren't the best out there. What about Powerscore? Anything would help. Thanks</p>
<p>I've heard that Test Masters is pretty good. I know my sister liked it when she took LSATs.</p>
<p>The Good Old Bump--</p>
<p>Please do not bump.</p>

<p>talked to my sister again, she said Powescore and Testmasters are like the same. But that if you do Testmasters, you need to do the one that was founded by a guy named Robin, not the one founded by Roger.</p>
<p>yeah, i heard about that rip off testmasters. the one i want to do is by the actual guy that score a perfect 180 on 12 LSATS. The testmasters people want to attend is the one from the website testmasters180.com not testmasters.com</p>
<p>the NY BBB is looking into the other testmasters for possibly copyright infringement. </p>
<p>TESTMASTERS180.COM (AKA Testmasters.Net) is good... Testmasters.com= BAd</p>
<p>Thank Dcfca for asking you sis</p>
<p>Dcfca, would you mind sharing what your sisters Pre LSAT testmasters score was and what her post Testmasters score was?</p>
<p>Has anyone on this forum had any experience with any testprep?</p>
<p>Which company is right for you, and whether you should go for a class or private tutoring, depends on your score and your study style. If you scored above 160 on your first cold practice exam, don't do a mainstream course like Kaplan or PR. If you have a good work ethic and you will practice on your own without someone reminding you all the time, and if your errors are mainly in one or two sections of the test, it may be more economical to get a private tutor rather than taking a classroom course.</p>
<p>I did testmasters, and their materials have been helpful, but ultimately, you get out of any prep course roughly the same amount of time and effort that you put in. (This isn't to say that some courses or materials aren't inferior and won't be a waste of time, as I've heard about Kaplan.)</p>
<p>Also, ditto the previous poster on work ethic.</p>
<p>hOW far in advance should I study for the LSAT?</p>
<p>I'd recommend getting started a year before you plan to take it. That way, if your initial diagnostic test goes well, then you can delay studying, but if it turns out that you need that year, you have it.</p>
<p>The above post on MLIC is not true and is probably written by an MLIC employee or owner. My daughter, my neice’s husband and one of my patients took testmasters and scored 170 or better.
From my observation there are two parts to studying for the LSAT: first, learning the techniques; and second, mistake avoidance. Testmasters’ textbooks cover the techniques very well if you do the work. One advantage of taking a course is that it forces you to do the work because you are going to face the instructor in two days and you’re going to feel like an idiot if you didn’t do the homework. (Just like going to a dietician forces you to stay with the program, if you lack discipline.) Logic Games is the part where they can help you the most, then LR and finally RC.
Learning techniques can get you into the 160s. Mistake avoidance to raise your score further is best accomplished through rehearsal. Take the practice tests to build confidence and get used to the testing environment. First work on quality, then on timing, I.e. being neither too fast or too slow. Testmasters has real LSATs on line that they grade for you. Take all of them in a somewhat testlike environment, E.g a cafeteria.
Before the test develop regular sleep habits, eat healthy meals etc…</p>
<p>MLIC spams on a LOT of message boards. Just type MLIC Scam into google and you’ll see a bunch of them.</p>
<p>Mardad and all these daddies shilling for testmasters ought to be ■■■■■■■■ for Robing Singh. Google Testmaster RIPOFF and TESTMASTERS SCAM and you can see the many posts about how Testmasters rips you off. Why are “daddies” writing posts here? How about their daughters share their real experiences with the others on this forum. </p>
<p>Testmasters asks you to sign a waiver that Robin Singh is not responsible for your score. That shows how confident this Robin Singh dude is about his course. Use your head and don’t listen to 'dadd-o’s. Testmasters is truly a ripoff.</p>
<p>Another course that looks promising is Blueprint. They have only a few locations. I don’t know anyone who has taken the course.</p>
