Took the LSAT PowerScore prep course, and I couldn't be more displeased. My class was with Jon Denning (PowerScore's Vice President) and despite my attempts to meet with Jon, he proved to be too busy to care about his students. I told him I was struggling and asked if he thought I should get an actual tutor through PowerScore, he insisted that I probably didn't need one and he offered to tutor me. Too bad he never showed up to show up for any of the times we scheduled. Before I knew it, it was time to take the LSAT. Jon urged us all to contact him AFTER we took the LSAT, which I did. He said he would try and go over the test materials with me, and 3 emails asking for help later, he never did. I could have used the $1400 for my class to get a real tutor, not have my time wasted as I was seeking help and wasn't given any. I'm so incredibly disappointed. read more

I enrolled in the full-length course for $1195. Less than one week prior to the start of the classes, I received an email stating that the course was cancelled due to lack of enrollment. I was given a refund, but left scrambling to enroll in another prep class. Reliability: no stars, actually minus one star. Actual course: unknown, never got to take it. Prep Materials: This is the ONLY reason why I gave them 4 stars. I purchased their Logic games and reasoning prep books, which are excellent in regards to explaining how to successfully choose the correct answers. From the language used to the way you are walked through every example/explanation, I can definitely say it has improved my ability to answer questions correctly. After I have received my score, I will update this review again. read more

Powerscore is extremely unreliable. I enrolled in a full-length in person LSAT course last year and planned my entire Fall semester college schedule so I could take it. Powerscore then called to inform me four days before the start of the class that it was cancelled. They withheld my refund until I shipped back their course materials, and offered no discount or voucher for my inconvenience. I was left with a less-than-ideal college schedule and couldn't take certain classes I would've taken otherwise, as I wasn't given adequate notice of the Powerscore class cancellation. I thought this may be a one-time mistake and gave Powerscore another chance (big mistake). I enrolled in one of their weekend-long accelerated courses and was just informed that it was cancelled again, five days before the class was due to start. Luckily I hadn't made such a big commitment as I had prior, and I am lucky I didn't plan my entire semester around a full-length course that would likely be cancelled again. It's very disappointing, as I have heard great things about their LSAT books. I wanted to learn the techniques in a classroom setting, but it seems that the company is not competent or organized enough to offer anything that they promise. read more

DONT WASTE UR TIME ON POWERSCORE LIVE CLASSES___So I took a few classes and learned NOTHING----so basically they tell you to call a homework help line ask the instructor or go online on their site! That's it!...then we complained because the hotel where we had the classes was charging us 10 bucks every time for parking,the classes were 3 times a week that's 30 BUCKS A WEEK!!! i called and spoke to Adam,manager he said there is nothing they can do about parking they are not responsible....i just left a message with he CEO of powerscore to see what he says about that but so far----terrible course,company doesn't care-not friendly---i would go with blueprint instead-- read more

All I got out of this course was a stack of books I could have bought for less than $100 on Amazon. The in class portion was a waste of time that I could have been home studying. The teacher was nice, but never seemed prepared and was just winging each lesson. He was sometime late, and at best showed up when the class was supposed to be starting. My favorite was that at the beginning of the course he made seem like he was teaching the class out of charity saying "I do this to give back and help others." You're a lawyer, pretty sure there's other ways to give back to society. In the long run it turned out he just worked for his uncle in a small law firm, which is fine but not on par with all his attempts at bragging about himself. I found it strange that we weren't given any class time to review our homework from the last lesson. The teacher said we can email him, but that it might take him a few days to get back to us. So, basically it was easier to figure it out by doing some research online? They did have a homework line, which was mostly open during business hours, so if you worked fulltime and didn't get to your homework until later in the night (like some of us,) you couldn't utilize this service. As the course went on I could tell other people were getting frustrated too. One student even snapped at the teacher to slow down, since he was always rushing through the lessons. People started leaving half way through the classes, and I would sometime take off a bit early figuring I could use the extra time to get work done at home. I expressed these and other concerns to Powerscore halfway during the course, and then again at the end when I got my score and found that I had only slightly improved. They did not speak with the teacher and basically washed their hands of it. I'm now trying LSATmax, which is more interactive and straight forward. At best, I would say that maybe using their online course might be ok, since you're not wasting a couple of nights a week going to midtown, but I would advise looking into another prep course. read more

Like the other review, I too was called one week before the course and informed that "due to lack of enrollment, they were cancelling the class." Well, this is actually the 2nd time I've had this same issue with Powerscore. They suggest I transfer to another class in another location, however, I work weekends and had to do some serious wrangling in order to get the weekend of Sept. 10 and 11 off. The next class is Sept. 24 and 25 and because I managed to get Sept 10 and 11 off, there's no way I can get the 24 and 25 off. Basically, it's a wash. There's no way I can do another prep course before the Oct 1, 2011 test. Also this was my "free repeat" course that you can take within one year of paying for the course. My one year time frame will be up Oct. 1 and needed to take the course before then. I intend to call back and ask if they will extend me another opportunity to take the LSAT weekend prep course since they cancelled it due to NO fault of my own. Frankly, I feel that if people are signed up for the class, it should be taught regardless of their being 1 or 100 people signed up! Giving a discount/refund isn't always what it's about. People have schedules and sometimes, as in my case, rescheduling isn't possible. I will no longer recommend Powerscore as a test prep company to any of my friends/family members preparing for tests. Totally unprofessional! read more
