"What
results/improvements do Get Prepped students see?"
Our experience is that when our weekend students take a real LSAT
diagnostic on the Saturday morning of the class, they average about
50% correct. On Sunday afternoon, when they take the wrap-up diagnostic,
they have increased that score several percentage points, even before
doing any outside practice. Many of our tutoring students score
in the 150-155 range before starting the tutoring, and score in
the 160-170 range by the end. A 7-10 point improvement is normal
for both tutoring students and multi-week students..
"What
is the latest date I can sign up for a Get Prepped class / the LSAT?"
Since our classes are limited to 12 students, it is good to sign
up early to reserve your place. Also, you need to begin the pre-class
preparation as early as possible. Registering 4-6 weeks before the
class date is normally sufficient. Sign ups in the final two weeks
before a class must pay late registration fees. Check the exact
deadlines at the LSAC.org website, but plan on registering for the
LSAT a minimum of one month prior to the LSAT date.
"How
does Get Prepped compare to other LSAT prep courses?"
- Compared
to the "national" prep courses.
- Weekend
class- Our weekend class is less than one-third the price
the "nationals" charge for their classes. Admittedly,
the weekend class meets for fewer hours, but the other companies
administer two to four 3-hour tests during class time yet count
those hours as class time. Get Prepped weekend classes are structured
so that you do much of your practice on your own time and don't
pay us to watch you. Also, since our classes are guaranteed to
be smaller, you get more attention in fewer class hours. Also,
very importantly, we exclusively use authentic licensed
LSAT questions.
- Multi-week
class- Our multi-week class is a superior alternative to the
multi-week classes offered by the "nationals." Our small
classes (limit of 12 students) are considerably less expensive,
yet offer the a similar number of instructional hours, and are
taught by higher-scoring instructors who have more experience
teaching LSAT classes. But we don't stop there. Our multi-week
classes are compactly scheduled, so you do not need to start classes
until three to four weeks before your LSAT.
- One
on One- Our one-on-one tutoring costs less than what the "nationals"
charge for their 8-25 student classes. They just can't beat our
value. Kaplan offers a 15 hour tutorial that costs nearly twice
as much as the Get Prepped tutorial. Their tutoring simply can't
compare to Get Prepped's tutoring.
- Compared
to a commercial weekend course: Get Prepped uses actual LSAT
questions from previous LSATs; some companies make-up "simulated"
questions. All our students are given a free self-study course
to use before and after class. Finally, we offer the most comprehensive
guarantee in the LSAT prep industry. This shows how confident
we are that our customers will be satisfied.
- Compared
to a campus-sponsored course: Campus courses vary so greatly
in quality, time, cost, ability of instructor, and materials that
it is difficult to generalize. To our knowledge, none of these
courses offers a money-back guarantee, or the range of course
options that Get Prepped does.
"What
kind of preparation should I do?" The more the better. If you
learn the fundamentals before you come to class then your class
time is spent getting an even better score. The best preparation
is to use the guided self-study course
(free with your enrollment). Also, many students buy one or more
commercial LSAT guides. Read the explanations sections of those
books, but spend most of your time taking the practice tests. Doing
this will help you determine the areas you need the most work.
"I
have never heard of Get Prepped, are you new?" No, we are not
new, we have been teaching the LSAT since 1999. There are two reasons
you may have never heard of us. First, to keep tuition affordable,
we do not spend as much on marketing as other prep companies. Second,
we exclusively teach the LSAT, unlike other prep companies. So you
would not hear about Get Prepped until you began researching LSAT
prep options. These are our strengths, and these are the reasons
we have helped thousands of students successfully prepare for the
LSAT since 1999.
"What
experience does Get Prepped and its teachers have?" The Get
Prepped staff has written LSAT textbooks that are used in courses
taught in hundreds of campuses. We have also written commerically-available
self-study books. Many of our instructors have taught at other LSAT
prep companies. All of our teachers are law students or law graduates,
and many are practicing attorneys. (At other prep courses, your
instructor may not have taken a real LSAT, much less be a law student.)
All of our instructors have scored above the 94th percentile, and
most have scored in the 98th or 99th percentile. But a high score
is not enough. We hire skilled teachers and communicators. We feel
that it is better to have an excellent teacher who scored in the
95th percentile than a weak teacher who scored in the 99th percentile.
