My advice, FWIW, is to buy every available *REAL* LSAT (avoid wasting your time with Princeton Review's or Kaplan's or whomever's own simulated LSATs), and take them under real conditions.

I teach for Princeton Review. Our diagnostic exams and class workbooks only contain real LSAT questions licensed to us by LSAC.

Yes, questions in your
class workbooks and
class diagnostic exams are LSAC-licensed, but the questions included in the workbooks you sell to the public--i.e., not the questions that a student in your courses will be seeing--are not real LSAT questions licensed by LSAC.

If you're going to take a review course, take
Testmasters. Their method is superior to PR's and Kaplan's, and all of their instructors scored in the 98th or 99th percentile.

I've heard this from several sources and I call BS. Nobody I have ever challenged has been able to name one difference (let alone one advantage) to Testmaster's method over the Princeton Review. Feel free to prove me wrong.

Most people don't have access to the teaching manuals of both, and therefore would have a hard time naming concrete differences in
method, but there is clearly an obvious and objective difference in quality of teachers. All Testmasters teachers are required to personally score in the ninety-eighth or ninety-ninth percentile, while PR teachers are only required to get a 163 on the exam. There is clearly not a perfect corellation between one's own score and an ability to teach, but I'm sure there's a decent one.
I don't really know how to prove you wrong here. I also wouldn't know how to prove someone wrong who insisted that a Bush is "just as good a President" as Washington.
You already seem resistant to public opinion, so it probably wouldn't help to mention that everyone who takes Testmasters loves it, and many people report mediocre PR experiences.
I would guess that you are an excellent PR teacher, but you have to admit that there are plenty of relatively poor PR teachers out there.
