What will the
Course be like?
The TestWell LSAT Class consists of seven
5+ hour class (don't worry we give you
two breaks during each class). That adds
up to nearly 40 hours of instructor time.
Most of the Course content is industry-unique,
and our proprietary methods are demonstrably
more effective and efficient than those
taught in mass-market courses.
Mass-market courses are for mass-market
students -- the 70% of the population
that will score between 140 and 160. They
cover the basics, the fundamentals, to
some degree -- and the techniques they
teach are often simplified, "dumbed-down"
methods that might be appropriate to the
needs of some student scoring 140 and
trying desperately to get to a 150.
But higher scoring students are in need
of more sophisticated, more powerful,
more efficient higher-scoring techniques.
LSAT 180 methods are not just the same
techniques in a different course; they
are radically different, industry-unique
processes that have been developed over
a decade of serving higher-scoring students
at Harvard, Brown, Dartmouth, BC, Brandeis,
Tufts, Wellesley, and other "highly
competitive" schools.
That doesn't mean we're ONLY for high
scorers; mid and low scorers learn MUCH
more and score much higher than they might
have thought they could, by learning high-scorers'
techniques. We routinely take students
from the 140s to the 160s and from the
150s to the 170s -- increases nearly unheard
of in mass-market courses.
Below is an outline of the Class:
| Exam
1 |
Real LSAT
1 Before Picture |
The "Before
Picture" is a REAL LSAT that
we give you so you'll have a framework
for everything we teach you in the
Course. As you go through your training,
you'll see how questions and problems
that were confusing, challenging,
or too time-consuming in the "Before
Picture" suddenly make sense.
We also give you a detailed analysis
of your performance in the "Before
Picture," done by a live Instructor,
not just a computer, for much more
meaningful feedback. Our Instructors
even look at the pictures you drew
for the Puzzles, the notes you wrote
for the Passages, and your alternate
answers when your first answer was
wrong - things no computer can do! |
| Lesson
1 |
LSAT Overview
& LSAT Logic I |
In Lesson
1, you'll learn why the LSAT is
different from other exams, and the
radically different modes of thought
& the major test-taking strategies
you'll need to score more. And, in
the Logic Lesson, you'll see
the logical Formulas you'll need to
translate "Rules" in the
Puzzles section and to answer "Inference"
Questions. |
| Lesson
2 |
Arguments
I & LSAT Logic II |
Lesson
2 covers the Formulas you'll need
to analyze LSAT Arguments -- showing
you how to answer "Conclusion,"
"Assumption," and "Flaw"
Questions, and laying the groundwork
for answering other question types
in later Lessons. The Logic Lesson
will cover advanced Formulas and Rule
Translation in context. |
| Lesson
3 |
Puzzles
I & Passages I |
In Lesson
3, we'll give you a proven, powerful,
and efficient step-by-step process
for setting up and solving any LSAT
Puzzle, and unique methods for attacking
the three different Question Types.
In the "Passages" part of
the Lesson, you'll see why LSAT Passages
are NOT "Reading Comprehension"
-- and what they are instead. And
you'll learn a whole new way of reading
specifically designed for answering
LSAT Passages Questions. |
| Lesson 4 |
Puzzles II & Arguments
II |
Lesson 4 we'll
give you pre-fabricated picture setups
for the three most commonly-tested
Puzzle types: "Ordering,"
"Sorting," and "Matching"
Puzzles. In the Arguments portion,
you'll learn the Formulas for five
more major question types -- "Strengthening"
& "Weakening," "Principle,"
"Explanation," and "Reconciliation"
Questions - and how to recognize and
avoid the trap answers, or "Distractors." |
| Exam 2 |
Real LSAT 2 Mid-Course
Correction |
The "Mid-Course"
Correction Correction is another
REAL LSAT that allows you to try out
your new techniques and strategies
in a full-length exam. Again, it will
be analyzed for you, with the most
extensive analysis in the industry
- the only analysis that includes
the categories of "Distractors,"
or trap answer types, that you fell
for - so you can learn from your mistakes.
|
| Lesson 5 |
Arguments III & Passages
III |
Lesson 5 covers
the Formulas and tactics for the three
most common Passages Question Types
-- "Primary P.," "Inference,"
and "Detail" Questions --
and picture setups for the remaining
12 Puzzles types. You'll also see
how to get more points in less time
in both Puzzles and Passages, plus
our own intelligent-guessing techniques
that will get you points when you
haven't got time to finish -- even
without reading the Passage! |
| Lesson
6 |
Arguments
III & Passages III |
In Lesson
6 you'll polish off the remaining
8 Arguments Question Types, as well
as the Arguments' timing-and-pacing
strategies. In the Passages part,
you'll cover the remaining Question
Types and the Formulas for Passage
structures and "Distractor,"
or trap-answer categories. |
| Exam 3 |
Real LSAT 3 Dry Run |
The"Dry Run"
is a full-length exam, complete with
"experimental" section and
Writing Sample, to build your stamina,
and allow for discovering areas for
final point-building changes in tactics
and strategy. |
| Lesson
7 |
Writing
Sample & Exam Day Preview |
Lesson
7covers the Writing Sample, and
walks you through the entire exam
day experience, so you'll know what
to expect. You'll also have your final
review of the
entire Course contents, with reminders
of all the most important strategies
and tactics, and a chance to ask last-minute
questions. Don't forget, though --
we also give you up to 18 more
REAL LSAT practice & review sessions
- each with a live Instructor Q+A
session. Nobody else gives you this
much total class time - or even comes
close! |
In addition, before each Real LSAT, we offer
at least SIX PracTests
where you will take a full, Real LSAT in
a proctored setting after which one of our
instructors will go over each of the Puzzles
and take you questions on Passages and Arguments.
