Testmasters course vs. Powerscore Bibles
Posted: Sun Aug 01, 2010 11:37 am
Here's the situation: I haven't done a whole lot of prep yet, But my full-time job just ended and I am now free for this month until i go back to school for my senior year. Ideally, I'd like to go to law school right after my senior year.
In June, I took a cold diagnostic from Kaplan (PrepTest 36) and scored a 159. The breakdown went like this:
Logical Reasoning: 79% correct - most of my wrong answers were on "principle" type questions and some paradox/parallels.
Reading Comprehension: 88% correct (only 3 wrong, really not much to improve here except reading a bit faster).
Logic games: 39% Correct
As you can tell, logic games are clearly where I lost most of my points. I'm just beginning to start the Logic Games Bible, but so far I find myself very frustrated.
My parents have offered to pay for a Testmasters class. The problem is, it starts tomorrow, so I can't figure out if the LGB will eventually click with me. Seeing as most of my trouble is Logic Games, would i be well-served to take the testmasters class, or would it not be worth it?
WIth a diagnostic of 159, and most of my incorrect problems in logic games (which everyone says is the easiest to learn), my goal is a 170-175, which I know IS doable.
So what do you guys think? Stick it out with the Logic Games Bible, or take the class?
Edit: Sidebar question - How well do the logic games methods in the LGB mesh with the Testmasters methods?
