Before and After - LSAT score 143 to 171

There are many LSAT prep options out there (see here and here). One of the most common advertising ploys/tactics that companies love to use is the "before and after" testimonials.


Below is a similar example from one of the test prep company out there:

"The T********** course does a marvelous job at rigorously exercising your brain and preparing you for the real thing."

Jin Choi
Before: 156
After: 168

But don't believe in everything you read or hear. You don't know if Jin Choi actually exists. Despite laws against false advertising - it's really difficult to check and monitor against companies that will make up fake testimonials and numbers.

Don't abandon common sense. If you think something is too good to be true, perhaps it is. If you have your doubts, you ought to do your due diligence and ask the right questions - find out whether the claims are actually true (or not). You're going to be LAWYERS - it behooves you to be an excellent critical thinker and investigator.
