HOW MANY TOOK A LSAT PREP COURSE BEFORE TAKING THE LSAT?
I signed up for the kaplan extreme starting this saturday, ive dabbled in a few LSAT prep books, but i would rather learn from someone who knows it better. Do many people take these courses? Or are good amount of people gung-ho about the whole LSAT and just took it? Do you feel these courses help your chances at getting a better score?

I think a better way to go is to try studying on your own first and then decide if you need help and what kind of help you need.
Many people are fine without courses, gung-ho or not, because there are a lot of written study materials out there. The most important are, of course, the officially released practice tests by LSAT, which are real, previously administered tests.

I heard alot of negative reviews about kaplan and princeton review so I opted for Testmasters instead which was an awesome class. But I also live in Socal and was able to attend all the extra sessions with the LSAT guru Robin Singh, so it was the best value for me don't know what my score is but I started at 148 and finished testing in the low 170's so yeah I thought it was a good class.

I took Kaplan's standard course. I had already figured out the logic games and was scoring perfect on those before I came in, so I didn't pay attention to those methods (they just slowed me down and confused me and I already had a method that worked).
Kaplan was great for me, although some people on here have had bad experiences. I raised my score 17 points (actually peaking on test day) and was incredibly satisfied.

I didn't take a course because I couldn't afford one. For me, going through both power score books and 30 prep tests was enough. It all depends on you, though. If I had had the money to burn, I might have taken one. But I like to eat
If I were you, I would take a diagnostic, read both powerscore books, take another prep test and see if
a) you are within 5 points of your dream score and
b) you could live (although a bit disappointedly) with that score
If so, I would save the money if it would be painful. If not, you might want to take the course if you can afford it.
I don't know how the Powerscore course is, but the books are awesome. They are actually the only prep course I'm not qualified to teach for with my LSAT score. I don't know what that means, though . . . .
