Which LSAT class is worth spending the money on?

I was just wondering which LSAT prep classes are worth spending the money on; which ones have had the best results. I scored a 157 on my last test for a few reasons (health being one of them) and anticipate being able to do better. I am hoping to score a 165+ on the October LSAT, and am looking to spend $300- $500 on the class.
Thanks!

Most LSAT prep review courses are priced from $995 to $1,495. There are abbreviated & weekend courses that cost less but do not cover as much as the full length courses. Princeton Review, TestMasters & PowerScore are three to consider.
The weekend courses with which I am familiar charge $450 for a 16 hour course that meets for 8 hours a day for two consecutive weekend days.
With a budget of $300 to $500, you may want to consider self-study with the PowerScore Bibles (available on-line or at Borders bookstore--Borders charges about $65 per PowerScore Bible, they stock two of the three, so you should try to get Borders 40% off coupons that are emailed to Borders reward members every month or so) & buy some LSAT practice tests (some of which are also sold at Borders bookstores for eight ($8) dollars each).

If I could find a way to get the rest of the money sponsored, and then had the $900- $1500 to spend on a class, which would you recommend?

I don't believe any of the courses are worth what they charge. Especially if money is tight and you don't have a lot of disposable income.

Kaplan is terrible, period.
My Testmasters class had several retakers, and also me (I scored above 160 on my initial diagnostic), and I think we all got our money's worth.
