I think a course would be a waste of money for you. Courses are geared towards teaching beginners the basics.

Invest in the Cambridge Packets for drilling instead.

I took a prep course and really liked it, but It seems self study has put you in a pretty good position especially if your PTs have been around 175. I would stick with it and save the money.

I'm clearly biased, but I do recommend courses for most students. It's likely that they can contribute something to your skills repertoire and they provide a structure that many students find valuable.

Happy to talk more via PM, if you'd like.

Best of luck,

Don't most classes allow you to take the first session for free? Then again, the first session will be useless to you. I'd ask if you could sit in on a class halfway through the course. That's probably the only way you will know if you are missing something by not taking the course.

Have you done the LSAT Trainer?
Have you exhausted all prep tests?
Have you done all 7sage videos?

I'd look to the above first.
