Candid Review of LSAT Prep Companies

Which is the best LSAT Prep company for you? I will do my best to update this and consider all your input. So if you have any updates or pertinent info that I'm missing here (for a brief and candid review), then please let me know.
    Behemoths:
    Kaplan (**)
    Princeton Review (**)
    TestMasters (***)

    Small to Medium:
    Manhattan LSAT (**)
    BluePrint Prep (***)
    LSAT Freedom (***)

    * = Star. The maximum number of stars I give is 5.
    Stars are given based on 5 criteria
    1. Instructor Quality
    2. Effectiveness/Originality of Curriculum
    3. Student/Consumer Friendly Price
    4. Results (Score Guarantee/Point Improvement/etc.)
    5. Good & Ethical Marketing/Business
    FULL DISCLAIMER: I worked for 3 out of 5 of these companies. No longer working for them. I'm on my own.

    LAST UPDATE - 1/18/2012. LSAT Freedom is not nearly as big as BluePrint or Manhattan. But given that an online company can literally be anywhere/everywhere, it made sense to include it in this list of prep companies.

    UPDATE - 11/6/2011. Manhattan LSAT and BluePrint each lost a star. I was considering giving Kaplan an additional star for their amazing score guarantee, but that would be placing the at the same level as TestMasters and Blueprint....which is not true. So I kept Kaplan at 2-stars despite their awesome guarantee.

    2. I only know of LSATfreedom by reputation. Haven't really had the opportunity to play with their curriculum/course.

      I'll find some student(s) - former and current, and then try to do a review on it.

    3. Hello,
      Do you tutor in Miami?
      If so, I need an LSAT Tutor.

    4. Looks like you're letting lsatfreedom get away with spamming your comments section. Be careful or these shady companies will overrun your site.

    5. Thanks for the heads-up. Frankly, I've been wary of such trolling.

      But thus far LSAT Freedom has been quite obliging; they are willing to let me speak with their students and consult their curriculum.
