from what i recall, law schools are interested in the overall person. not just the LSAT...though the score should be within the schools expectations. Looking back, im not sure what the LSAT did other than weed out those who were not serious about the process. there is nothing about law school, and certainly nothing about practicing law that is similar to the LSAT.

Others say Kaplan sucked. I recall my teacher being very very spastic and obsessed about getting a perfect score. He took it very seriously and it helped me. i would take it, regardless. you get out of it what you put in.

Law school is NOTHING like college. Most law schools will warn you of that during the first day of orientation. She MUST be, or learn to be as I did, totally disciplined and self-starting when it comes to preparation and learning and severe pressure every day. I could have gotten a 4.0 in college without ever leaving my bed compared to what law school took to do well.

I say take the course. she will get used to pressure but with some structure and will feel the seriousness of this very very life altering path she is about to take.
