Who should pick what
Pick LSATPathway if
You want the lowest price for a complete prep: free curriculum to start, $49/mo for unlimited practice, live classes at $99/mo, and tutoring at $70/hr only if you want it. Every paid plan has a 15-day money-back guarantee.
Pick 7Sage if
You specifically want official LSAT questions with video explanations and a big student community, and $69/mo fits your budget.

Pick Kaplan or Princeton Review if

One honest caveat
Our practice questions are original, written for LSATPathway. They are not official LSAT PrepTests. If practicing on official questions matters to you, 7Sage or LSATDemon plus a LawHub Advantage subscription is the honest way to get that. We would rather tell you that here than have you find out later.
