I doubt that many folks take 6 weeks off to study for the LSAT, so that works to your benefit.
The Kaplan and Princeton courses are both fine, and both have advocates. I agree with the other poster who said that the threads on comparing them you can search out on vault.com cover this ground pretty well.
I was one of those folks who did not take a formal review course, but instead merely got review books and drilled from them. My friends who took review courses reported that they felt their scores did improve from the courses.
I suggest that you pick up a couple of the review books before you ever come over. Most weeks, you can the search "LSAT" at ebay.com, and turn up auctions of these books at really cheap prices.
Although some sellers prefer not to sell internationally, even those can be approached by e mail prior to auction end and asked if they mind if you bid. If you get a bunch of these books and run through them prior to the LSAT prep course, it should maximize the effectiveness of the LSAT prep course.
Best fortune to you. |

I hadn't thought of prepping for the prep course---good thought!
All the practice you can get will help!
My only issue with the books was that the explanations weren't that great (I remember one that read something like "B" is the answer because its intuitively obvious...well, it wasn't intuitively obvious to ME!)
But it certainly would be good ramp up practice---and let you figure out your weak points before getting into a class!
