Which Online Course to Take

[jcmcguff]

Hello,

I am thinking of taking a live online course in preparation for the February 6th LSAT. Of the options available to me and conducive to my schedule, the Winter II and Winter III options seem to be the best for my schedule. While I realize the content is the same in both courses, I noticed the Winter III session begins almost three weeks after session II begins (due to holidays it seems). My worry is if I take session III that I wouldn't be as sufficiently prepared as I would be taking session II and having three extra weeks. I do see that session III ramps up to three times per week during the course, so maybe that would offset some other things. It could be me just being paranoid. Anyway, any help in evaluating this decision would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey Jon,

Thanks for the question! When asked about this type of decision, I always give the same advice: start earlier if you can. There's no harm in having more time, and in my experience the students in early starting classes are a bit more relaxed (precisely because they know they have more time) and tend to score slightly higher. So, if all else is equal, I'd go with Winter II.

If you have any further questions about the course, I'm happy to answer those too. Thanks!
