Curriculum
Test-Taking Strategy
Introduces strategies designed to increase your speed and accuracy on the LSAT. Topics covered include: examination format, working continuously, breaks, testing order, and post-test decisions.
Diagnostic Examination
Careful, objective measurement of your performance on a diagnostic examination will allow you to approach the LSAT more intelligently. The Diagnostic Examination introduces the multiple-choice question types and the 120-180 LSAT scale. You will learn approximately what percentage correct is required to attain a particular score. For example, what percentage correct is required to earn a score in the top 10%? You will begin to set personal goals. Topics covered include: raw score, % correct, percentile, and the score conversion table used to estimate your LSAT score.
Reading Comprehension
Treats reading passages as arguments. Introduces active reading and time management in reading comprehension. Topics covered include: selecting the best answer, transitional words, over and under statements, primary purpose questions, and inference.
Logical Reasoning I
Logical Reasoning questions comprise two-thirds of the scored portion of the LSAT. That's why Prepmaster Review seminars spend so much time on Logical Reasoning. Presents short arguments as puzzles. Topics include: inference and deduction, argument recognition, evidence, and consistency and contradiction.
Logical Reasoning II
You will apply the principles you learned in Logical Reasoning I to practice sets of gradually increasing difficulty. Your instructor will spend extra time explaining the really difficult questions. You will leave this class with a well earned sense of Logical Reasoning mastery that will pay big dividends on test day!
Argumentative Writing Sample
We make sure you know exactly what admission committees are looking for on the Writing Sample and then teach you how to deliver the perfect essay. Explains the use of "issue spotting" to develop a clear, concise, and effective essay.
Personal Statement
Learn how to write a distinctive, well written personal statement that will help you stand out from the crowd.
Simulated LSAT
A simulated LSAT is administered and scored. Actual test conditions are carefully reproduced. Your simulated LSAT is carefully scored before you depart the class.
Planning for Further Study
Focuses on proper use of study time. You will develop a personal study schedule based on your performance on the Simulated LSAT.
Key Success Factors

Test-Taking Strategy
