I took the LSAT Extreme course and was extremely displeased with the quality of the course, the content, and the teaching.
When I first enrolled, and paid the massive amount of money (1500.00, I believe). I was planning on taking the prep course for the December LSAT. However, a week before the class was to start, Kaplan called me and informed me that it would be canceled due to low enrollment. So this kind of screwed me over, because they weren't offering any other prep courses for December, and all Kaplan's competitors courses had already started.
So, I was offered to upgrade to the LSAT extreme for the Feb LSAT and sold into it with the promise that the majority of the information would be covered by December. That was bull. By the time December came, I was ill-prepared. The class is set up in such a way as to progress you to being prepared only at the end of the course.
So, I ended up having to reschedule for the February LSAT.
It didn't matter anyways. I ended up feeling rushed into it and did poorly, My instructor was a young woman (like 21) who had scored well on the LSAT (around 170) but, she had been a biology major and decided to go to law school at the last minute. She taught the class like a math class, in such a way that I and other students couldn't relate to. Her teaching method just didn't mesh well with the logical nature of the LSAT.
No one ever showed up to her class. She rushed through all the lectures, didn't explain very well, and didn't give us enough time to ask questions. She didn't even take Kaplan herself. In fact, she kept mentioning TestMasters and how she took that, and would tell us tips from TestMasters sporadically, throughout the course.
I was overall, very displeased with this course and I am thinking about contacting them for a refund or some sort of compensation.
The highlight of the course was when she brought us cupcakes at the end of the class with "180" written on them. read more
