I'm wondering if its worth it to take an LSAT course. I've taken it once, and I have a 157/180, which is the 75th percentile. I'd love to get a 165+, but I'm guessing there's some sort of bell curve that their "guaranteed score improvement" points goes on. Anyone take an LSAT course? How did it work for you?

Juniorgrrl, wow - 1420!!!! Smartie
!! Well, you know what, I'm being completely serious here - you could have gotten a 1600 (which is the highest score) if you had taken Kaplan! Here's the thing that I totally forgot to mention in my previous post. My friends and I NEVER did our SAT homework like we were supposed to - and I'm kinda regretting it now, as I still want a higher score, but anyway, even without doing ANY Of the homework, our scores dramatically increased 200 points, some ppl increased by 220 points, some even have increased by 240 points! It's almost ridiculous - but in a highly GREAT way
.
So if you do your homework - can you believe how many points you can increase by?
. (I'm starting to do my SAT homework now...hopefully my scores will improve even more
.)
ABout the LSAT - my sis is thinking about law school, and she is in the same range as you, I think. She is going to take Kaplan for sure, as Kaplan helped her tremendously many years back for the SAT. Her friends who are in law school took Kaplan for LSAT preparation and they recommended it to her!
