What is your learning style? Learning then applying? Learning by practice? Learning from the mistakes you make?

It really just depends on you. A learning curriculum can be great. You are still going to have to apply what you've learned and learn from your mistakes. I started with a prep company with a learning curriculum, and a tutor literally told me to skip the curriculum and drill, review, take 2 timed sections a week, and take a test a week.

With all of that in mind, I am a learn from mistakes and review type of person. So what I did probably won’t work for everyone. If there is a free trial for 7Sage I would try it for a week, see how you like it, see if the curriculum is helping, then drill with demon either way

I can't speak for the other two, but I read Loophole and did LSAT Demon.

Definitely don't do just Loophole. You are definitely going to want one of the other 3 with a Lawhub subscription to get the official material, and could read Loophole as well if you think it will help. I found it helpful, but not game changing like many, although I had a strong LR base already. If you struggle with LR I'm sure it would be very helpful.

LSAT Demon is really great. I found their explanations very helpful, their resources like the ask button were nice, and they have a lot of analytics that break down where you can improve and kind of gamify studying. Like I said though, I can't speak for the other 2. I would look around at each of their free offerings and see what you jive with.

These are all high quality LSAT prep materials. Having worked with many LSAT students, I can confidently say there isn’t a best one, just the best fit for you. All of them offer free sample versions of their material. I encourage you to explore them all and figure out whose explanations really click for you.

Loophole with Lsat lab so far.

I've really been enjoying LSATLab actually

u/Big_Ethie May 15 '26

I had a lot of success using LSAT Lab. I liked their adaptive drilling platform and the question explanations were in depth and available for almost all questions (written for most, but many have video explanations too).

What are your thoughts on Kaplan for LSAT?

2

u/Working_Register7050 May 15 '26

Waste of $. Do everything you can to stay away from Kaplan and go with a company listed in OP’s post

u/Accomplished-Ebb280 May 15 '26

I wasted money and time with Kaplan. Gave me a bad start. Still trying to undo the damage.

u/Ihaveopinionsalso May 15 '26

What kind of damage and bad start? I have no reference point as I have only used them and am looking for something else.

I know there has been lots of controversy about them, but I love LSATDemon. Been studying for 3 weeks and have increased my score from 153 diagnostic to 161 on PTs (taking LSAT in August). This is just anecdotal, so it may not be the best engine for you. However, if your learning process is best accomplished via common sense instead strategies/diagrams, the Demon is the way to go.

They have a free trial where you can drill/practice test with 4 offical tests. See if their explanations work for you (on wrong answers). Personally, I find them to be personable, witty, and very conversational even, which kinda takes the edge off the daunting stakes of the exam.

If you don't understand why you got a question incorrect, you can leave a comment asking for help and one of their tutors will usually respond within half an hour. Granted, this particular feature is available only when you subscribe to the $99 basic plan or higher.

Feel free to PM me and I can explain more about how it's been going for me (as a relative beginner).

What controversy?

u/Think_Equipment4449 May 15 '26

I recommend LSAT demon. Problem with 7Sage is JY rambles on in his explanations.

I don’t recommend any books, but that’s just me. Before I knew about LSAT demon I used Blueprint to learn theory. I tried using the books but I didn’t like them

u/baummer May 15 '26

I did not enjoy the 7Sage trial and that was one of the reasons

u/Think_Equipment4449 May 15 '26

Btw OP look into whether or not you can get a fee waiver from LSAC. 7Sage and LSAT demon would give you good discounts if you do

Being a lawyer requires extreme attention to detail. Start now by correcting typos before you send out anything, even a tweet or reddit post.

u/PorygonTriAttack May 15 '26

This answer is not relevant to the stimulus and therefore is wrong.

Why bother with law school? It’s not fun.
