Wow, LSAT world is fascinating. Did you know in LSAT-landia, “many” can mean the same as “all”. Common usage says “many” means a majority, and implies that “many” is not “all” because if it were “all”, you would say “all.” I have missed more than one Logical Reasoning question before I learned this the other day. (Please correct me if I’m wrong.)
And can I just say, Kaplan sucks. I worked through the main Kalpan test prep book first, and it did well to introduce me to what was on the test. But now that I am working though the PowerLogic book, such a big difference! I actually understand now how the testmakers are constructing the questions and how to tackle the questions from the inside out. Kaplan barely scrapes the surface.
I also took the Kaplan class back when I was studying for the SAT and I would have the been the same off if I had just sat outside in the New Mexico sun and made adobe bricks out of mud and my own spit. I don’t think that class had any affect on my final score, granted, I didn’t really study which is a key factor in getting a really good SAT score, but still. I don’t think the KAPLAN instructor even knew what she was there for; she’d just wander into the closet of a classroom open the prep book, and work through the problems right along with the rest of us.
Thus concludes my tirade on Kaplan test prep.
