    I'm taking the LSATs in a few weeks and I'm curious as to whether anyone out there has taken them and what they did to prepare? Currently, I have been studying Princeton Review's "Cracking the LSAT," book. But I have been hearing from people to take one of Kaplan's classes...but that is wicked expensive.

    So is there anybody out there that has had either negative or positive w/ Kaplan? And do Princeton Review and Kaplan teach anything different in their classes that is not in their books?

    Yeah, as a low level hill staffer I really had to bite my tongue watching that movie. Plus, I think Reese Witherspoon had more funds available to her than me. I really need to ace those LSATs for any chance--I need some scholarship money to go, basically.

    I haven't really found my question on any of those newsgroups (I hate to register on those things and only ask one question and get bombarded with junk emails), so I'll keep searching and asking around. I have feeling the classes won't cover anything they don't cover in the books. Most people said the classroom just forced them to study. Well, I don't need to spend $1,500 to force myself to study. But if people really get an advantage out of the classes then I might be willing to fork out the dough.

    I know a lot of companies and even some fed jobs have the option of covering educational expenses if they pertain to your job. You could try that route, the worst they could say is no.

    My boss took a sailing class for free, he justified it by saying that since he worked with the Coast Guard, it was related to his job and they paid for it.

    If I were to stay on the hill or comeback afterwards they would reimburse my tuition. but I'm not planning on sticking around, and I might comeback afterwards. I'm too worried about paying for law school, I need to worry about the lsat, for now.

    I worked for Kaplan, Princeton Review, and Learning Express...

    This doesnt help you with your decision, but none of the peopl involved in providing content for those books are lawyers, will be lawyers, or perhaps have never met a lawyer...

    Sad, I know... but pathetically true.
