Kaplan LSAT Instructor - Score-Qualifying PrepTests Forum

[wiseowl]

My buddy taught for Kaplan (I went for Powerscore) and was the last man standing out of his 8-person training course. Anecdotal at best, but apparently they cut without mercy.

Sort of like the Biglaw model - bring in a larger than needed class, weed 'em out, the best (or good enough) remain.

This is true, and this is what helps somewhat to protect against "gaming". Only 15-25% of those who score qualify will ever actually work for Kaplan. You're also observed and reviewed frequently enough that you would truly never be in front of a class for more than a few hours if you were an imposter.

The thing that struck me most was that Kaplan's instructors did not actually have to take the real LSAT. Does anyone know whether the other prep companies have a similar system? Do TM/PS/BP require a real LSAT score or do they do the same thing as Kaplan.

All the other prep companies (Princeton Review included) require a real LSAT score.

We actually called LSAC about taking the test for work, and they said it was okay.
