Why Kaplan?

Caveats

  1. Price
    Pricing starts around $399 + $199 per month after the first month and works itself up to over $3000 for extensive tutoring packages. Kaplan LSAT prep is not cheap, but given the resources at your disposal it doesn’t seem like a bad value so long as you use what is available to you.
  2. Get up-to-speed
    There isn’t that much hand holding. Don’t waste your classes by failing to do the review work beforehand. Have questions ready to ask. Kaplan LSAT courses are hard, so don’t take them casually. Much of the benefit of these classroom courses is that they force you to take LSAT review seriously and not procrastinate. Signing up for a course immediately puts you on a schedule that will make sure you’re not slacking in your test prep.
  3. There is no easy way to a high LSAT score
    Kaplan instructors will tell you that using their course is like joining a gym. You have to make the most out of it. Don’t be shy about asking for help. You have to put in tremendous work to make the most out of the staggering resources Kaplan LSAT offers. If you are lazy or fail to assert yourself, it isn’t going to make a difference how much money you spent.
    Here a Kaplan teacher advises students to reach out early and often. Don’t be shy and assert yourself.
