Kaplan on-demand course

I'm considering getting Kaplan's on demand course ($450). They have explanations for every LSAT administered. This is mostly for checking whether my logic was correct when analyzing a wrong answer choice. Are there any other options?
Thanks,
DCPL

Thanks Kurst, but I was looking for more information on explanations for official preptests. I'm not really interested in going through their videos and the actual course. If I take a course it to only access the explanations for the preptests.

Kaplan's explanations are garbage. TLS,
Steve Schwartz (LSAT Blog), and
Atlas/Manhattan LSAT are better sources. To inquire on TLS, post the preptest #, section #, and question # (e.g. Preptest 60, section 3, question 22). Before you look for explanations, however, try to explain the question to yourself.
Noah's review strategy is particularly insightful on this subject.

I took the Kaplan's Advantage course last December. Their explanations are quite detailed and useful. I heard somebody complaining about Steve's explanations; something about he treats some questions/explanations like they are too obvious and doesnt go into detail.
Anyway, from my experience, i checked my answers with Kaplan's explanations when i first started my preparation. After a while, i got used to the test question and choice patterns and can figure out the logic myself.
Hope this helps.
