Re: Power Score vs. Kaplan course
by: BrianGriffintheDog on: November 7, at 03:00:25 in: LSAT Prep and Discussion Forum
So basically, the consensus seem that if a person is a "newbie," kaplan is recommended to bring your score to a decent one (low-mid 160s). If a person is somewhat experienced and wish to score 170+, powerscore is better. If I was to take kaplan course to bring myself up to 160s and then use powerscore to bring myself up to 170s, I'm just worried that the things I learned from kaplan m...

So somebody actually told me I shouldn't go to Loyola law school I should go to Cooley. He;s like Loyola is a risky move. I was flabbergasted like are you out of your mind!? What would you have said? the mere fact that you took the time to post this and create a poll on this inine question leads me to believe you would be a perfect fit at cooley. Typo made me LOL.
