Taking LSAT

Has anyone used the prep classes, and if so, what did they think of them for the money they paid? Anyone reccomend a good prep book?

Thanks.

I think the prep courses are most useful if you do middling at standardized tests. They teach you some good strategies, particularly narrowing the answers down to two and moving on.

If you're already good at standardized tests, I recommend buying several books and taking TONS of practice tests, under controlled, simulated "real" conditions.

I can't remember what book I used, but the practice tests definitely helped me. My curve went from pretty good to great, in the space of about a dozen of them.

Good luck!

On Edit: Make sure to take practice tests that have actual questions from older LSATs on them, if you can. Those -- or variants of them -- often show up as repeats on the actual exam you take, at least in my experience.
