I purchased it...Please do not purchase this item. <br /><br />I purchased it after reading the reviews above - and although I do respect everyone's personal opinion on the product, I have to think that this is product will be useless for 99% of the people debating this purchase.<br /><br />I bought this product with the mindset thinking that a couple dollars would be worth any product that helps me improve my chances of success on the LSAT. This product is a waste of 25 dollars.<br /><br />It is shotty quality. It's basically five students that look like they made this for a high school project. I admit the concept for this product is clever. It was just poorly executed. The "distractions mode" is just the say film with a voice over of somebody literally saying "ach-choo" every five minutes (sometimes loud, sometimes softly). <br /><br />Nothing about this dvd seems authentic. The student portraying the proctor can barely read. <br /><br />Just my 2 cents...I don't even usually write reviews but I feel it is my duty to warn you not to burn your money like I have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294095.post-54040283289839342662010-05-15T20:18:29.183-04:002010-05-15T20:18:29.183-04:00This DVD makes a critical degree of difference in ...This DVD makes a critical degree of difference in forcing you to concentrate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294095.post-49548212440340549012010-04-09T01:49:53.335-04:002010-04-09T01:49:53.335-04:00I bought this DVD.

Certainly people confuse the simplicity of its premise with its usefulness and convenience. However, this would be a logical fallacy. It's a huge time and money saver and gives you the flexibility to take literally all of the LSAT Prep tests available wherever and whenever you'd like to (in the middle of the night if you so please) with a degree of likeness to the real thing that you're not going to find anywhere else for 20 - 25 bucks. And I'm not exactly sure if a loud/busy/cramped/high-trafficked/Kenny G playing Starbucks or a completely silent library that closes at 8:00 PM and has people moving about looking for books are anything like taking the exam in the testing center environment at all. Although, I do sometimes try to get a room with a projector and DVD player in my university's library for myself and my 2 other friends taking the LSAT, and we play the DVD there and then review each other's tests when we finish. Most of the time, though, I use it either in my living room or at my desk on my laptop.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Maybe you'll get (at most) 2 proctored exams with a $1000 prep course or get some audio file that says go and stop after 35 minutes without you seeing or hearing anything else. But what is the point of practicing with Prep tests at all if you're not going to try to at least emulate the environment of the test on the day of the exam? Or take more than 1 or 2 at a prep course? You have to take more than that under as close conditions as you can to get a good feel for it IMO. Some people just have an iron will and blood as cold as ice when it comes to stress and test taking. Good for them! haha For the rest of us and I believe a majority of people taking standardized tests (especially the LSAT), we have to prepare to be comfortable with the testing environment/experience. If not, you can just cancel, waste all that money and another 4 to 6 months of your life waiting for the next test day all because you weren't psychologically and emotionally prepared for what to expect come test day. The DVD does this well. But if you don't believe me, that's fine - less people competing with me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294095.post-61308999741054178922010-03-17T22:13:15.651-04:002010-03-17T22:13:15.651-04:00I've owned the DVD since this past summer and ...I've owned the DVD since this past summer and have found it to be extremely useful. My only complaint is that they don't give you as much control over the experience as possible: you should be allowed to reduce the amount of time they give you between sections (real proctors apparently give you less time than the girl in the DVD), or enable the proctor to call the 5 minute warning at a random time 3-10 minutes from the end. Even with those limitations, though, it's well worth the money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294095.post-29145867991920644352010-02-26T20:32:05.719-05:002010-02-26T20:32:05.719-05:00some of us have children and can only study after ...some of us have children and can only study after a certain time of night when it might be inconvenient for friends to make the drive over...and cannot be in the public places because while they are open we have the kids...<br /><br />:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
