<p>I'm debating which of these options I should pursue. the Kaplan course is located right on my campus, and is the cheaper option when I factor in student discounts and the fact that I was a previous Kaplan customer for the GRE. The latter is seemingly more prestigious and effective in terms of instructor quality and classroom rigor. If I went out and took the Kaplan course and bought the PowerScore bibles on the side, would that be just as effective as taking the PowerScore/Testmasters course as a whole? Is it possible that/have you ever heard of students scoring extremely high with Kaplan in any capacity?</p>
<p>Go to lawschooldiscussion.org. The majority will tell you that Kaplan is a waste of money. I haven't taken any of their courses or looked at any of their books, but the word of mouth is that they are not good. There is, however, something I can say. The Powerscore bibles are GREAT and way better than any Kaplan books I've browsed in the library. It is not beneficial to you to take a Kaplan course and study Powerscore. They have completely different methods and you may find yourself confused by using conflicting methods. Basically, what's the point of taking a Kaplan course if you plan to use another company's material? </p>
