TestMasters LSAT Course Syllabus
The TestMasters LSAT Course consists of twenty-four class meetings. Twenty of these meetings are four-hour lectures taught by a live instructor, and the other four meetings are full-length LSAT diagnostics administered under official testing conditions. The total in-class teaching time is eighty hours, and the four proctored diagnostic exams represent an additional sixteen hours of classroom time. The twenty lectures consist of fifteen four-hour lessons, three four-hour diagnostic reviews, and two four-hour LSAT Jam sessions. Each of the fifteen lessons is accompanied by an extensive homework assignment, and TestMasters students typically spend an average of fifteen to twenty hours a week preparing for the LSAT outside of class. The following syllabus outlines what is covered in each of the fifteen lessons of the TestMasters LSAT Course.
