How good or bad is this "Focus Prep" LSAT course?

Question

I saw an advertisement for "Focus Prep" for LSAT online course. I did a search for some ranking or ratings or something but found nothing. Has anyone heard anything about its effectiveness or lack there of? Anyone used it? It SOUNDS good but it seems a little new or low-budget compared to say PowerScore (which I can't afford). I'm just doing lots of logic tests and the Kaplan prep books right now, anyone know of any other ways to study that don't cost a grand? Thanks for the help?

Answer 1

Do you have a link for the course so we can see what they say? I've never heard of them so it is hard to make an evaluation.

If the PowerScore courses are too expensive, perhaps look into buying their LSAT Bible series. That is a great way to get a lot of the ideas for much less than the courses.

Added: It's interesting. It's not actually a prep course, and they don't seem to teach anything about the LSAT but instead they focus on memory work and mental focus. As a teacher, I'm all for anything that helps people concentrate and stay focused during the exam. Whether this program actually does that, I have no idea. The 4 stages they talk about are the same on every test page, which means that you are buying a product aimed at improving memory and focus for any test (note how they mention "formulas" on the LSAT page; that looks like an error brought over from the GRE or GMAT pages since the LSAT doesn't use formulas). I also don't love that the "studies" fail to mention how many people were in them or who conducted them. That said, it's pretty cheap, so even if it didn't work you wouldn't be out that much. Your call.
