<p>I have 3.83 GPA and took a practice LSAT completely cold, without doing any practice questions, or looking at the books, etc. and got a 163. I did dramatically worse on the logic games than any other section. If I'm shooting for top 14, is it worth spending the money on a prep course, or should I just study prep books?</p>
<p>Course would be a waste of time, especially a Kaplan or PR one. Those are geared to people aiming for a mid 150s score. Your cold LSAT is 1 point away from being high enough to teach for Kaplan.</p>
<p>Just get the powerscore logic games bible and logic reasoning bible. Keep taking the LSAC practice exams under test conditions. You’re score will go up.</p>
<p>I took the Kaplan course, and later taught there. My training consisted of listening to tapes of a mediocre teacher teaching the course.</p>
<p>I didn’t think the course was anything to write home about, but the practice materials were voluminous.</p>
<p>The one bit of advice I picked up on my course that I always pass on is to use a somewhat dull number 2 pencil to minimize time filling in the ovals.</p>
<p>For most people, the pay-off is in the amount of time you spend on practice tests. I found that ten hours a week for three months or so was about right.</p>
<p>blueprint, powerscore, or testmasters. </p>
<p>that or self-study.</p>
