The LSAT tests your reading comprehension and ability to think analytically and logically. According to LSAC, the organization that administers the LSAT, law school applications continue to rise, and competition for the best JD programs remains fierce. LSAT prep courses can help you study for the exam with practice tests, tutoring, and techniques that may help boost your score.
We did deep-dive reviews on over a dozen providers to help you decide which LSAT prep course is best for you. Based on analyses of their course content, methods of instruction, faculty, cost, and more, we developed the following list of the nine best LSAT prep courses currently available.
Our list includes both well-established LSAT prep companies, like The Princeton Review and PowerScore, and newer programs like LSAT Demon and 7Sage. We evaluated all providers based on five criteria we developed alongside our LSAT prep experts.
- The Princeton Review – Best Overall
- Khan Academy – Most Affordable
- Magoosh – Best On-Demand Program
- Kaplan – Best Live Online Class
- Testmasters – Best In-Person Class
- Blueprint – Best Score Guarantee
- 7Sage – Most Flexible
- PowerScore – Best Premium Option
- LSAT Demon – Best for Drills
Our Ranking Criteria
- In-depth analysis of each company’s specific course offerings and materials via website review, sample lessons, and third-party resources
- Evaluation of course content through free trials, syllabus review, mobile app testing, and more
- Interactions with company customer service representatives via chat, email, and social media
- Analysis of customer reviews and comments on platforms like Trustpilot, Reddit, and Facebook
Based on these reviews, we removed three companies from the 2021-22 list: AlphaScore, Manhattan Review, and LSAT Max. We added two new providers, Khan Academy and LSAT Demon.
Programs had to meet five key criteria listed below to earn a spot on our list.
Flexible scheduling and adaptable formats
The LSAT requires a significant amount of preparation. For an LSAT prep course to be effective, it must be flexible enough for students to fit it into their lives. Our list includes several on-demand programs, like LSAT Demon and Magoosh, that offer self-paced study plans. For companies that offer live instruction, like Kaplan and Blueprint, we made sure classes are scheduled for days and times that are convenient for students. We also prioritized providers with mobile apps or mobile-friendly study materials for maximum studying flexibility.
Course materials
LSAT prep is most effective when students have access to a variety of different prep materials. We reviewed the resources offered by LSAT prep companies and are highlighting those that include practice tests and questions, video lessons, detailed answer explanations, prep books, and more. Most of these companies also provide their customers with access to LawHub Advantage, which is the premium version of LSAC’s official prep program.
Personalized instruction
Based on the LSAT’s content and structure, preparing for the exam is fairly straightforward. However, we know that not all students study and learn the same way, so we looked for programs that include various methods of instruction. We also prioritized programs like Magoosh and 7Sage that provide personalized study plans to help students maximize their study time and focus on the areas where they most need improvement. Many programs also include or offer the option to add 1:1 tutoring, which can further help students personalize their learning experience.
Pricing and plans
LSAT prep courses require an investment of money, time, and energy. To ensure students get the most bang for their buck, we compared LSAT prep courses based on pricing and plan options. LSAC requires students who enroll in any LSAT prep course that uses real LSAT questions to have an active LawHub Advantage subscription (this currently costs $115 per year), so we also noted whether each provider included this in their base price or as an extra fee. Many of the programs on our list offer free trials, allowing students to know what they’re investing in before they make a financial commitment, as well as money-back guarantees in case students don’t see score improvements.
Expert instructors and tutors
The best LSAT prep courses are designed or taught by individuals who know the LSAT inside and out themselves. That’s why we reviewed courses to confirm that they’re led by LSAT experts who have high scores, as well as rigorous training and extensive education experience. When available, we watched or attended sample lessons to confirm that not only are instructors knowledgeable but that they’re friendly and engaging as well. Our top picks offer instructors and tutors who are experienced educators with a track record of success with LSAT prep.
The Princeton Review – Best Overall
We chose The Princeton Review (TPR) as our best overall LSAT prep provider based on the variety of prep programs they offer, the wealth of preparation resources they provide, and the company’s positive user reviews. There are several different options to choose from with TPR, including a self-paced on-demand course, live online courses, and in-person classes throughout the U.S. For students who aren’t exactly sure what type of LSAT prep program will best suit their needs, TPR is an excellent place to start.
What We Like
Regardless of how students want to prepare for the LSAT, TPR has a course that will suit their preferences. Their most popular course is the LSAT 165+, which offers in-person and virtual classes with 65 hours of live instruction, as well as online drills, practice tests, and a guaranteed minimum score of 165 (or, if your starting score is below 158, a guaranteed score improvement of at least seven points).
Students who want even more preparation can opt for TPR’s Immersion 165+ course, which features a whopping 130 hours of live instruction delivered in virtual or in-person classes. Those looking for a less intensive prep experience can choose the Fundamentals course or TPR’s self-paced on-demand program.
All of TPR’s courses are taught by experienced instructors. Students can give live classes a test-drive by participating in a free sample class before enrolling.
Regardless of the course students choose, they will get one year of access to LawHub Advantage, LSAC’s premium prep plan. Those who need additional assistance can add on individual tutoring with one of TPR’s LSAT experts.
What We Didn’t Like
TPR’s LSAT prep courses are thorough, but they don’t come cheap. Prices range from $799 to $3999, making them among the most expensive resources on our list. While programs come with score improvement guarantees, students should read the fine print to ensure they understand the conditions.
What Test Takers Are Saying
The Princeton Review has a 4.4/5 average rating on Trustpilot. 69% of the company’s 1,985 reviewers give it five stars. Several students report score improvements after taking a Princeton Review course. Many reviews also call out TPR instructors by name for being knowledgeable, supportive, and engaging.

Khan Academy – Most Affordable
Khan Academy Logo (PRNewsfoto/Khan Academy)
Khan Academy provides free educational resources for a variety of subjects and standardized tests, including the LSAT. They’re a new addition to our list for 2022-23. Many students find Khan Academy’s materials helpful to supplement other prep programs, but they can also be used independently for students who need more affordable prep options. These resources are created in partnership with LSAC and are available at any time by creating a free Khan Academy account.
What We Like
The primary selling point of Khan Academy’s LSAT prep is that it’s free, but that doesn’t mean it’s lacking in quality. Khan Academy created these prep materials in partnership with LSAC, the organization behind the LSAT, so they are thorough and accurate to the actual LSAT test experience.
This is an on-demand program, so students can begin using these resources whenever they’re ready and practice according to their own availability. Khan Academy will help students create a personalized study plan based on their schedule and the results of a diagnostic exam to identify the areas on which they need to focus.
Materials include instructional videos that review key concepts tested by the LSAT, practice questions drawn from real LSAT tests to drill skills, and timed full-length practice tests that help students build their stamina for the real thing. Video lessons are short and easy to understand, making this a flexible, convenient study option for busy students. There’s also a variety of articles and resources that cover LSAT basics, including what to expect on the exam and how to use study time most efficiently and effectively.
What We Didn’t Like
One of the key drawbacks of Khan Academy’s free LSAT prep is that there’s not much in the way of personalized instruction or support. Without tutors or instructors, students are essentially on their own if they get stuck on a particular section or concept. They also don’t offer any type of score guarantee. While this makes sense because students aren’t paying for the course, it can leave them in a lurch if they fail to achieve the test score they seek.
What Test Takers Are Saying
Khan Academy has a 4.2/5-star rating on Trustpilot. Seventy-seven percent of the service’s users give it five stars. On Reddit, students who used Khan Academy’s free resources as part of their LSAT prep report score increases and said that the service helped provide practice tests and drilling questions.

Magoosh – Best On-Demand Program
Over the past decade, Magoosh has made a name for itself as a premier on-demand prep resource for a variety of standardized tests, including the LSAT. The company offers two LSAT prep options — the self-paced Premium program and the guided Premium + On-Demand Classes program. Based on its materials, reviews, and value, we chose the Premium course as our pick for best on-demand LSAT prep program.
What We Like
For $314, or less than $30 per month, students who sign up for Magoosh’s Premium plan get one year of access to a vast library of video lessons, question explanations, practice tests, and LawHub Advantage. Among paid LSAT prep courses, this is one of the most affordable but also one of the most useful.
Magoosh’s LSAT course is designed to be flexible and accessible. Students can access materials through the Magoosh website or their mobile app (available for both iPhone and Android). Customizable study plans help students maximize their prep time, whether they have a full year or just a few weeks.
Students learn through engaging video lessons and test their knowledge with practice questions drawn from official LSAT exams. They’ll also familiarize themselves with the test through Magoosh’s timed practice exams.
We also like that Magoosh offers tutoring assistance to students via email, so students aren’t out of luck if they don’t understand a particular lesson or concept. Magoosh backs up all of this with a 5+ point score improvement guarantee.
What We Didn’t Like
It’s hard to find a downside to Magoosh’s LSAT prep course. Their score improvement guarantee is less ambitious than the ones offered by some other prep companies; they only guarantee that a student’s score will increase, not that the score will be within the LSAT’s highest range. However, this may create somewhat more reasonable expectations among students when they take the LSAT.
What Test Takers Are Saying
On Trustpilot, Magoosh has 4.3 stars, with 88% of users giving it a 5-star rating. Says one reviewer, “Magoosh taught me how to actually learn the LSAT. The in-depth sessions and ability to fast forward/rewind, practice on my own, and come back to any lesson was the main reason I was able to jump 13 points on my LSAT.”

Kaplan – Best Live Online Class
Kaplan is another educational company that has been providing test prep resources to students for decades. When it comes to LSAT prep, they offer instruction in a variety of ways, including an on-demand program, in-person classes, and live online classes. We chose them as our pick for best live online LSAT prep class for the flexibility, quality of instruction, and support these classes offer to students, regardless of physical location.
What We Like
Students who enroll in one of Kaplan’s Live Online courses get 24 hours of live instruction with expert LSAT teachers. One instructor delivers the lecture, while a team of other instructors is available off-camera in the virtual classroom’s chat to answer questions.
Schedules for live online classes vary; students can choose a class that meets once, twice, or three times per week, depending on what works for their own schedule. Classes meet on weekday evenings or weekends, making classes accessible to working professionals.
When enrolling, students choose whether they want a 4, 6, or 12-month subscription. This gives them access to online LSAT prep materials for their selected amount of time, including 55+ full-length practice tests.
For those who need additional support, you can also order 10, 20, 30, or 40 hours of private, 1:1 tutoring with an LSAT expert. Kaplan’s rates for private tutoring start at $1,999 for 10 hours, though you can get a bulk discount by purchasing more hours at a time.
What We Didn’t Like
Kaplan requires students to choose their subscription length at the start of their program, which somewhat limits its flexibility. Students who aren’t sure exactly how much LSAT prep they’ll need may want to seek out a provider that offers a monthly subscription. Additionally, Kaplan requires students to purchase LawHub Advantage separately. Considering most of their LSAT prep programs cost over $1,000, it would be a welcome perk to include LawHub Advantage access with the program.
What Test Takers Are Saying
Kaplan’s test prep services have a 4.7-star rating on Trustpilot. 74% percent of reviewers give Kaplan 5 stars. One user writes, “It was truly an amazing course! I learned so many strategies that I am looking forward to utilizing during my September LSAT. Thank you, Kaplan, for a great experience.”

Testmasters – Best In-Person Class
In our digitally connected world, virtual classes or on-demand prep is often the most popular and accessible choice. However, nothing is more beneficial for many students than a live, in-person class experience. That’s why we chose to highlight Testmaster’s in-person LSAT classes. These classes are currently available in 20 cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C. For students who can’t attend an in-person class, Testmasters also offers on-demand and live online courses.
What We Like
Testmasters’ in-person course features 45 hours of instruction with expert LSAT instructors. Testmasters prides itself on only hiring top LSAT scorers and providing them with rigorous training to ensure they’re knowledgeable about the test itself and how to teach it. At $1,875, or roughly $42 per hour of live instruction, Testmasters’ in-person class is a relatively good value among LSAT prep providers.
Classes meet two times per week, making it easy for students to accommodate them in their busy schedules. Students enroll based on their anticipated LSAT test date, so the material is fresh in their minds when they sit for the exam.
Course content focuses on all the subject areas tested by the LSAT, as well as strategy-focused lessons to help students learn techniques that will help them ace the test. The course was designed by Robin Singh, the world record holder for the most perfect scores on the LSAT.
Classroom Course students also get access to a wealth of online LSAT prep resources, practice questions, written and video explanations for LSAT content, and 24/7 academic support.
What We Didn’t Like
The biggest drawback to the Testmasters Classroom Course is its geographical limitations. It’s only available in select cities in a fraction of the states. Also, students who are able to enroll in an in-person class must do so without the benefit of a score-improvement or money-back guarantee. This may be a deterrent for some who want to secure their investment with the knowledge that they’ll get a refund if they’re unsatisfied with the course or their LSAT score.
What Test Takers Are Saying
Testmasters has limited reviews on Trustpilot, although 6 out of 13 reviewers give it 5 stars. There are a number of positive reviews on Reddit, including one that reads, “I highly recommend [Testmasters] to those who need structure and struggle to study independently. The video explanations and lessons are amazing. They cover every single aspect of the test in so much detail.”

Blueprint – Best Score Guarantee
Blueprint has been helping future lawyers prepare for the LSAT and raise their scores for nearly 20 years with various prep offerings, including virtual classes, on-demand prep, and tutoring. We chose to feature their 170+ Course because it promises to help students either reach a score of 170 (if their starting score is 160 or higher) or improve their LSAT score by at least 10 points. This program is worth exploring for those looking to achieve a particular score to enhance their law school applications or scholarship eligibility.
What We Like
Blueprint’s 170+ Course helps students achieve the heights of LSAT success with live virtual classroom instruction, personalized assignments, and 1:1 guidance from an LSAT coach.
The course features 60 hours of live, instructor-led classes that meet two or three per week. These classes are taught by two of Blueprint’s expert instructors, all of whom scored a 170 or higher on their own LSAT. Enrollment and class schedules are based on official LSAT test dates, helping students stay focused and on track with mastering the skills they need to ace the exam.
Weekly check-ins with an LSAT coach also help students stay on track. These 1:1 sessions allow students to ask in-depth questions, review areas of concern, and get additional support on their LSAT prep journey. Blueprint also helps students customize their prep experience with a personalized study planner to help them focus on their weaknesses and polish their strengths as they progress through the course.
Students in Blueprint’s 170+ Course also get six months of online access to practice exams, 7,000+ LSAT practice questions with detailed explanations, and downloadable strategy guides.
What We Didn’t Like
At $1,899, Blueprint’s 170+ Course is one of the pricier prep programs on our list, which may make it inaccessible to some students. A free sample class is available though, allowing you to test out the program before committing all the necessary time and money.
What Test Takers Are Saying
Blueprint has a 4.6-star rating on Trustpilot. 86% of reviews give the test prep service five stars, with many reviewers praising Blueprint’s instructors for being engaging and supportive. Writes one reviewer, “Between the engaging and fun methods of presenting the material, supportive and committed instructors, and added resources and detailed explanations, this is the best course on the market.”

7Sage – Most Flexible
7Sage’s mission is to make LSAT prep more affordable and accessible. Their model is simple — students only pay for the course for as long as they need it, whether one month or two years. Their core curriculum is offered on-demand, with an option to upgrade and include live classes. Students can also bundle their LawHub Advantage subscription with their 7Sage subscription. Because of these features, we chose 7Sage as our pick for the most flexible LSAT prep program.
What We Like
Many LSAT prep programs force students to commit to a subscription for a specific amount of time, whether or not that’s how much time they actually have or need to prep. Not so with 7Sage, which only offers a monthly subscription.
We like this because it gives students the flexibility to subscribe for the amount of time they need. Students who choose a basic monthly subscription get access to a core curriculum of 50+ hours of on-demand video lessons, over 8,000 practice questions and explanations, and 99 practice exams. A personalized study plan helps students manage their time, regardless of whether they’re spending one month or several on preparation. 7Sage also has a mobile app, available for iPhone and Android, to help students study on the go.
For those that want more hands-on prep, 7Sage also offers a Live subscription, which includes access to live and recorded lessons with 7Sage’s expert LSAT instructors.
Another thing we like about 7Sage is its robust free trial, which lets students access a practice test, dozens of question explanations, and multiple sample lessons.
What We Didn’t Like
7Sage’s LSAT prep program is best suited for self-motivated students who won’t be tempted to skimp on their study time because they’re subscribing on a monthly basis. From a financial perspective, students who know they’ll need extended prep time might be better off selecting a course with a 6- or 12-month subscription. Also, the monthly subscription auto-renews, so students need to be mindful of their renewal date if they want to cancel without being charged.
What Test Takers Are Saying
7Sage currently has a 4.7-star rating on Trustpilot. On Facebook, 7Sage has a perfect 5-star rating. “I really appreciate how I can go at my pace and select the lessons that are the most pertinent to me,” writes one reviewer. “I believe I’ve been able to build upon what I already knew without feeling like I’m learning anything that’s useless.”

PowerScore – Best Premium Option
PowerScore is owned by the bar exam prep company BARBRI. Like most of the other options on this list, they offer several tiers of LSAT prep courses, with the higher tiers allowing students to unlock more resources and services at a higher cost. What sets this provider apart is their top-tier plan, LSAT Premium, which offers absolutely everything you might need to get a great score. Also, PowerScore’s pay-as-you-go pricing model makes even their LSAT Premium plan relatively affordable for those who only need a couple months of prep.
What We Like
For self-study, all of PowerScore’s paid plans offer 90+ official practice tests with full performance analytics. The LSAT Essentials and LSAT Premium plans also include 50+ hours of on-demand lectures, which go over every concept that’s covered in the LSAT.
We love the flexible way that PowerScore offers live instruction, which is included in the LSAT Premium plan. There are daily live online classes held by instructors who scored at least a 170 on the LSAT. You can drop in on these classes and interact with experts whenever you want, and you also have the ability to review recordings of these sessions at your convenience. And regardless of your plan, anyone can pay for additional on-demand, one-on-one tutoring as well.
PowerScore also has a highly active online forum, where you can review tens of thousands of posts about the LSAT and ask the community any questions you may have about the test.
Finally, it’s worth noting that PowerScore offers a free trial, allowing you to view 6+ hours of on-demand lectures and take three official practice tests with full performance analytics at no cost.
What We Didn’t Like
Unlike some of your other options for LSAT prep, PowerScore doesn’t offer a score improvement guarantee. Take advantage of the free trial to make sure this provider will work for you before committing to one of their paid plans, as you won’t be able to get your money back.
What Test Takers Are Saying
PowerScore doesn’t currently have reviews on Trustpilot or Facebook. However, many students on Reddit have shared stories about raising their scores with PowerScore. “I worked with a tutor online and it was AWESOME,” wrote one user. “Highly recommend.”

LSAT Demon – Best for Drills
LSAT Demon is a relative newcomer to the world of LSAT prep. They’ve already gained popularity among students who like their drill-based approach to mastering the test’s content and questions, with many users singing their praises in online forums. They offer four subscription tiers; we chose to highlight their Basic subscription plan, as it provides the most affordable access to LSAT Demon’s secret weapon — its AI-power smart drilling feature.
What We Like
A key component of LSAT prep is drilling questions to help students learn how to quickly and confidently answer the types of questions they’ll see on the exam.
For $95 per month, LSAT Demon’s Basic subscription gives students access to thousands of official LSAT questions, and its AI technology tracks progress and gives students questions based on past performance. Students can see which questions they got right and which ones they missed to help them focus their studying where they need it most.
Students with this subscription also get access to 78 LSAT practice tests, video explanations, and email assistance from LSAT Demon’s instructors. They can also attend a free live class, offered every month. Upgrades are available to plans that include more practice exams, explanations, and video lessons.
LSAT Demon founders Ben Olson and Nathan Fox also host a podcast, Thinking LSAT, where students can get insight into the LSAT, law school applications, scholarships, and more.
What We Didn’t Like
As LSAT Demon is a newer LSAT prep company, its reviews are limited, and its track record for student success is not well-established. They don’t offer any score improvement or money-back guarantee, so there’s a degree of risk in investing time and money into this particular prep program. They have a mobile app, but it is currently only available for iPhone users.
What Test Takers Are Saying
LSAT Demon’s average Trustpilot rating is 4.9 stars. One reviewer calls it the best investment of their LSAT journey. “It has given me an understanding of the complexities of the LSAT material that I never thought I could understand,” the user writes. “I truly enjoy practicing and learning with them. They make it entertaining with their real talk and explanations.”

What to Consider Before Signing Up for LSAT Test Prep
Your learning style
Before you select an LSAT prep option, it’s wise to take time to reflect on what your learning style is. This will help you find a prep course that suits your needs, so you don’t waste time and money with a program that doesn’t teach the way you learn. Think about what methods of instruction have resonated with you in the past. Do you prefer lecture-based classes? Then a live online program like Kaplan or Blueprint might suit you best. If you learn better by reading and having time to process concepts and ideas, a self-paced program like Magoosh or 7Sage may be your best bet.
Your amount of prep time
It is also important to consider when you will be taking the LSAT and how much time you have between now and then in which to prepare. Be realistic about how many hours per week you can devote to studying for the LSAT, as this will have an impact on which program you choose. If you have a short amount of time to prepare, consider a monthly subscription plan like LSAT Demon, which will let you focus on the areas in which you need the most practice. Many live virtual and in-person courses take several weeks to complete, so this might be a better option if your LSAT test date is still a few months away.
Your budget
It’s also a good idea to decide upfront how much money you can realistically commit to paying for LSAT prep. As you’ve seen, there are free and low-cost options like Khan Academy, so even if your budget isn’t big, you can still access quality prep materials. Many paid programs offer free trials or sample lessons. We recommend taking advantage of these to test-drive courses before committing to the full price of a subscription. Also, read the fine print of any money-back guarantees as well, as many have specific criteria students must meet in order to be eligible.
LSAT Test Prep Frequently Asked Questions
What are the important dates for taking the LSAT?
The LSAT is offered multiple times a year, with exact dates varying by region of the world. You can take the LSAT in person at a test center or schedule an online, remotely proctored session.

*Test dates accurate as of 5/20/24
Are there accommodations for disabilities?
Yes, LSAC provides accommodations for test takers with disabilities, which can include extra testing time, screen readers, and magnification software. Students seeking accommodations must first register for their LSAT test, then submit a request and any required documentation in advance through their LSAC account online. LSAC typically responds to accommodation requests within 14 days, but students should register and submit requests well ahead of their intended test date.
Where can I find practice tests?
Whether or not you enroll in a formal LSAT prep course, practice tests are a key component of preparing yourself for the LSAT. Taking practice tests allows you to familiarize yourself with the LSAT’s content and format. Free practice tests are available through LawHub. Many LSAT prep courses also include practice exams.
How early should I prep for the LSAT?
The amount of time a student needs to prepare for the LSAT depends on a few factors, including whether they’ve sat for the exam before, how much time they have to study, and their target score. For the best results, students should spend four to six months preparing for the LSAT, studying for four to six hours per week. Students should start their LSAT prep by taking a practice exam. This will give students a baseline score and an understanding of the areas on which they need to focus while studying.
How many practice LSAT exams should I take?
There’s no magic number of practice LSAT exams that will guarantee you get a high score on the official test. Taking multiple practice tests will help you track your progress, build your stamina, and help you get familiar with the test’s content and style. However, it’s also important to spend time studying the material and test-taking strategies so you know what skills to implement when completing practice exams. Most LSAT prep courses will include scheduled practice exams in their syllabus, but if you are studying on your own, we recommend taking at least ten full-length, timed practice exams before the official test.
Is LSAT prep worth it?
The LSAT is a challenging exam, and doing well without some form of advanced preparation is very rare. LSAT prep courses are beneficial because they review the test’s core concepts, introduce students to helpful test-taking strategies, and provide study structure and accountability. However, the key factor that makes LSAT prep courses worth it is for students to show up and do the work, including taking practice exams, completing homework assignments, attending classes, and reading prep materials.
How much does LSAT prep cost?
The cost of LSAT prep can range from free to several thousand dollars. How much LSAT prep costs largely depends on what type of course or resources you’re accessing. Individual tutoring and live online classes tend to be more expensive. On-demand self-paced study programs tend to be cheaper. Many LSAT prep courses are subscription-based, meaning students pay for the amount of time they need. For specific program pricing, please refer to the individual program descriptions above.
