I didn't take the LSAT, but I'm starting to teach for Kaplan (for the ACT and MCAT), but one of my friends is training for the LSAT, so we are going through training together (and I"m learning how to attack LSAT passages now as she practices teaching to me.). So obviously I'm a bit biased, but I've learned a number of things.

One thing about Kaplan's LSAT courses: All the questions you go through during class - in your lesson book, during full length practice tests, in any online workshop, anywhere in the course where there's a LSAT type question - were all on the actual LSAT. Being able to use actual test questions (and not just re-writes) as practice from day one is a unique advantage.

I don't know if the other test prep courses also pay the money to have access to the questions but it's something to consider.

Also, Kaplan is the only one of the 4 you mentioned that has a Higher Score Guarantee, that allows you to take the course again simply because you don't feel ready to take the test, or because you aren't satisfied with your score. Retaking it is free (PowerscoreLSAT charges $275 administrative fee, couldn't find anything for TPR). One of the guys in my MCAT class from the summer, scored above the 85%ile, but didn't get into the med school of his choice, so he's retaking the course free of charge. Some of the others list guaranteed results, but nothing that I could find said anything about taking the course again if you simply weren't satisfied with your score.

Just some things to think about.
