Does anyone have any experience with the Manhattan Prep Interact courses? I want to know what their success rate is before purchasing it.

I'm taking the LSAT in September and have been prepping for months, but the attorney I was interning for really encouraged I take a course, which I don't want to spend a lot of money on unless I'm going to get a high score. I am using their prep books, but I can't seem to find their success rates anywhere. The sites that compare the LSAT prep courses give overviews of each one, but no reviews to read.StopLawying wrote:You won't really get too many answers here because the program is pretty new. All I can say though is that Manhattan is incredible, IMO the best prep company out there. They cater to 165+ scorers and so really teach you the nuances of this test. But can't go wrong with 7sage either, I purchased one of their courses and am very happy. Good choices either way, good luck!
What do they have that you cannot get elsewhere?Clearly wrote:Velocity lsat, still the best in my opinion
7sage has been around for a bit and has received generally positive reviews on here so I am inclined to choose that over a program, like Manhattan Interact, that is relatively new. The Manhattan books are GREAT thoughEspadas wrote:What does 7Sage offer that Manhattan Prep doesn't?USayinBoalt wrote:I'm unfamiliar with the Interact course that Manhattan has, but just based on what I've seen on here most people rave about 7sage.

Their LG stuff in particular is genuinely the best. I say this as a person who legit worked through 7 sage, velocity, taught for powerscore, read all of Manhattan's stuff and worked with this test professionally for many years now. You can't really go wrong between Manhattan, 7 sage and velocity, they're all about as good as programs can be, but in my opinion velocity is the program most useful for actually taking the test. My main gripe with 7 sage was it's tendency to teach kind of in hindsight, here's the best way to do this particular question. I appreciated velocity for having a more structured plan that applied to future questions, when review was just applying that particular system to a game instead of looking at how we should have done that particular game from 7 sage.Espadas wrote:What do they have that you cannot get elsewhere?Clearly wrote:Velocity lsat, still the best in my opinion
That's my one gripe with 7sage. Sometimes you watch the explanation video and you're like there's no freakin way I would've been able to think of that set-up in real-time. Like for some games he splits into 6-7 boards, but that's not something many would do during the real exam. Yes, you may learn it's more efficient after the fact, but during the real thing I'd never spend that much time upfront creating so many boards. Too risky. I know you always say how great velocity is, but I was reluctant to try them for games since it's an entirely new system and I was worried I'd get confused. Wish I started with them first. Also Dave used to hang out on these boards, where has he been lol? Does he still teach the LSAT?Clearly wrote:Their LG stuff in particular is genuinely the best.

That said, none of these are Kaplan, they're all among the best so you can't really lose. Velocity used to have a huge following here but most from that era did well and stopped posting after admissions, the new gen here is more 7 sage focused, but thats just the ebb and flow of people and speaks nothing about the quality of programs.
