Just as a general FYI, if you want to see the teaching style of any of our instructors (including the Austin one, Curtis), just call up the main office and we'll set up a time for you to sit in on a class.

I had a good experience with the Kaplan Advanced class. However, prep courses are expensive, and I think my experience had a lot to do with my instructor, who was great. Not sure if she's still teaching, but if your cold diag is/was in the mid-high 150s or better, I'd recommend taking Kristin Longley's class. She has a lot of good advice on the application process and law school in general. (And IIRC she's how I found out about TLS haha.)

I think many on TLS advocate getting your hands on as many preptests as you can, self-study with the powerscore bibles, etc. There are a lot of threads about this and some guides that will help you plan your self-study if you decide to go that route. I would probably do that if I had to do it all over again and save myself $1200 :/

I highly recommend this as well. Blueprint was very accommodating about letting you view their classes before signing up.

So I'm dumb. My brain conflated a thread about Phoenix and Austin, and they existed as the same location in my head over the past few days.

Elan is our instructor in Austin! But everything else I said still applies - call the office if you want to arrange a time to sit in on the class!
