"1)i couldn't find that on the review.com website"
Sounds like you have poor information gathering skills. That took about 20 seconds.

Expert Instructors
What's worse than sitting in a classroom for hours on end? Having to listen to a boring instructor. Princeton Review instructors are energetic and smart - they've all scored in the 95th percentile or higher on standardized tests. LSAT material is far from exciting, but our instructors will make the experience as engaging as possible. After all, it's hard to learn when your teacher's droning voice puts you to sleep.

"2)having worked at tpr for a few years, i personally know for a fact that 90% is the cut-off"
Again, you're wrong. See above.
"3)check out http://www.powerscore.com/comparison.htm although this is powerscore's website, it's been up for quite some time and we've had no complaints"
If I were PR, I'd sue powerscore for putting up that false 90% info. Good job toting the company line, buddy.
"4) thanks for telling me how to be successful on the lsat - i only scored a 176"
I honestly don't believe you on this. You seem closer to a janitor at powerscore than an instructor. I suppose it's possible that you're one of those people who tests extremely well but has no common sense.
It'd be one thing if you were rude but correct. There's nothing more pathetic than someone who's wrong and rude about it.

1) "they've all scored in the 95th percentile or higher on standardized tests" --- what about on the lsat? ahhh - another sucker for slick advertising. i'll tell you what, call tpr and say you scored a 163 and ask if that meets their cutoff. you don't think a big company like tpr would prosecute one (actually 2 - see below) of their chief competitors if it was false? see also http://www.testmasters180.com/CompareFCities.asp
i know instructors at tpr who scored "high" on other tests such as the sat, taught those other tests then transitioned to the lsat without ever actually taking one.
2) i could care less if you believe me on this. we've already had a discussion before mr. texas and my ego doesn't depend on your subjective beliefs which tend to be innaccurate anyway.
