Is it worth $200 to upgrade to Ultimate+ if I'm taking the Dec. LSAT?

I'd be upgrading to get access to 9 prep tests (73-81). Is there that much of a difference in the difficulty of the tests that I should invest in upgrading?

Thanks in advance for your input!

    If you just want the Preptests, then it's much cheaper to buy them in book version.

    @uhinberg That's a good point! I'd also like the explanations too but $200 is a bit steep for me. We do get the logic games explanations for free so I'm not sure if it'd be worth the extra cash for explanations to the RC and LR sections.

    @"lena.c1992" , 7Sage is gonna hate me for this and I also hate to do it because I think it's an incredible resource and they deserve all the business they get and more... but, if you get your hands on those newer tests... https://lsathacks.com/explanations/

    Taking at least some of those new tests is a must. Having the explanations and extra drilling materials at your disposal will be the most helpful thing at this point, in my opinion. I feel that the full explanations for LR and RC have been indispensable to my continued improvement.

    If you find the LR/RC explanations now helpful, I'd upgrade. $200 bucks is a lot but if it helps net you even a single point, then it's already worth it.

    I think its worth it if you want JY's explanations. I think that's really going to be the deciding factor. There are other people's explanations sure - that are cheaper and maybe even free so you can go that route. But if you want JY's explanations then that's where the $200 comes in. So you need to decide which is it you want. Btw, you also get an admissions course with the + package in case it helps make your decision.

    @FerdaFresh thanks for linking. I've never used LSAT Hack before but I'll def take a look at it.

    @"Alex Divine" You bring up a great point that didn't cross my mind. I'm leaning towards upgrading at this point.

    @LCMama2017 Thanks for including the tidbit about the admissions course. I had no idea so that is definitely tipping the scales in favor of upgrading.

    Probably better to get more practice tests

    If I remember correctly, Ultimate+ is the only option that includes "hard" level questions... so I would say it's worth it if you're trying to score a 650+. I think about it this way: if I get another three questions right, I could get way more than $200 back in scholarship money.

    I added a +5 month extension to your account so you have the full 18 months. :)

    [Admin note: Ultimate+ includes 12 months now]
