The TestWell New York Law School Bootcamp

Our program provides a unique combination of “insider” study and exam strategies with in-depth lectures on each of the core 1L subjects. Bootcamp Class Schedules

We will begin by exploring the key success factors which ensure you realize your full potential in law school and, as our previous students have, land at the top of your class at the end of the first year.

You will then learn how to quickly read, understand, and break down the cases which will be the almost sole focus of your first year studies. You will have the opportunity to practice these techniques as you prepare your homework prior to each of the lectures on the first year subjects.

Next, we will conquer the dreaded law school exam which will be the SOLE determinent of your grade in all or nearly all of your classes. These essays are read and graded in a matter of minutes thus it is essential that you prepare for and structure them so as to earn the additional points which separate the A students from the bulk of students who will earn B+s and Bs as dictated by the law school grade curve. You will have the opportunity to apply these strategies after each of the lectures on the first year subjects.

In our subsequent classes, we will learn how to approach each of the following subjects while reinforcing the study and exam techniques outlined above:

Contracts
Torts
Real Property
Civil Procedure
Criminal Law
Criminal Procedure
Constitutional Law
Legal Research & Writing

Finally, we will have some closing words on how you can attain your academic goals without (completely) sacrificing your personal time as well as on how to convert your top grades into the job offer of your choice.

Costs

Our goal is to ensure that by the end of our week together, you are completely prepared to succeed in law school.

Thus, included in your Bootcamp tuition, we will provide you with what are widely regarded as the best outlines/hornbooks for each of the first year classes. We will utilize these materials during the class so that you are familiar with them and how to leverage them to best supplement the sometimes indecipherable casebooks your professors will assign. We have broken out these materials costs since they represent an expense you, like new all law students, would have had once you arrived at law school. Based on the results from last year, we are confident that this strategy is not only convenient for our students (since you will not waste time and money on subpar study guides) but also enriches both the bootcamp and your first semesters on campus.

Please note that the study guides we will provide to you are in addition to the TestWell Law School Bootcamp Coursebook which we have specifically developed for this course.

The full tuition, which includes $500 of study guides and materials, is $1,599 if you register by April 1st ($1,699 from April 2nd to May 15th and $1,799 thereafter). Because class size is limited to only 19 students, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your space in one of our sessions.

How the TestWell New York Law School Bootcamp is Different
Coherently integrates law school study and exam techniques into the study of each and every first year class so that students can apply and refine these techniques as they move through the Bootcamp
 
Taught by one professional rather than a different lecturer each day which ensures the continuity of the concepts presented and avoids needless and wasteful repetition
 
Developed and will be presented by a test prep professional who recently navigated the very law school subjects you will study in the Bootcamp and in school
 
Only the TestWell New York course is in a position to critique "the official, law professor approach" to preparing a case or studying for an exam and teach you that the most effective and quickest way to learn these tough concepts is quite often distinct from "the official approach"
 
Sets you up with our “Plug & Play 1L”, a set of the prep materials you will need to hit the ground running when you arrive at law school
 
Only the TestWell New York course is small enough to ensure that you will receive the personal attention you deserve and have the opportunity to ask all your questions in a comfortable and supportive environment
 
Will be recorded so that students who need to miss a class for any reason can make it up at their convenience
