Princeton review tends to be easier and kaplan tends to be harder. Only use ETS/gregmat material for verbal. For math i used Magoosh and it worked out well

Paid for Princeton review course, biggest waste of money I’ve ever spent. Kaplan book and TTP I found to be really good value and gregmat has some good tricks for math.

Ran through all the ones you mentioned. I think it has its place among the 3.

I would not get Princeton Review for GRE - the quant questions are easier than the exam

What was your experience with the LSAT? Do you think it's gatekeeping, preventing students who can't afford it (often people of color) from entering the field? OR is it helping future attorney's of color by giving them a chance to go to a top school regardless of grades? I've seen questions about the LSAT all day and just want to know how people feel.
