[blindlaw] LSAT preparation

[Johnston]

Hi Tanya,

I used two sources.  1. Kaplan over-the-counter text.  I used a readr to 
help me with it.  2. A Kaplan private tutor.  It was spendy (over a thousand 
dollars for the time package I chose), but without it I wouldn't have earned 
a score that would have given me admission.  The tutoring package included 
the same texts that come with their classroom classes, which are very 
helpful: hundreds or even thousands of questions from former LSATs.  After 
not too much effort they provided me the texts in PDF format.  The tutor 
came to my house, which was very helpful.  It included the online lectures 
but they are in flash, so almost useless with a screen reader.

The other difference-maker was hiring a company named Admissions 
Consultants.  Give their website a look.  It is another expensive company, 
but their consultants are former admissions workers- unlike the people at 
Kaplan.  Mine was the former Dean of Admissions at the U of Penn Law School 
(Ivy League).

You'll find that dealing with LSAC and their accomodations office will be a 
bigger chore than prepping for the exam itself.  They have been sued by the 
NFB and I think the ACB.  A California attorney was suing on behalf of a law 
student or LS applicant a couple years ago; I'm not sure the status of that.

Good luck.  Give me a mail off list if you have any questions.
