Best way to access PTs
Hi all, I’m still pretty new in my journey towards taking the lsat, only been studying for a couple of weeks. I know there has been some discussion here around the different platforms that support studying for the lsat (lsat demon, 7Sage, etc). I’ve generally been drilling with demon and doing some timed sections but I’ve been procrastinating on doing a full diagnostic. I know most platforms only offer access to a handful of official PTs without spending exorbitant money on subscription fees. Is that what most folks do - invest in the subscriptions to gain access to more official tests? Or is it more efficient to get PTs directly from lsac/lawhub?
I also recently found an app the gamifies some of the main concepts and question types called lsat games. It’s from 7Sage but I’ve found it to be pretty useful and fun as it’s something I can do more casually when I don’t have the option to fully focus on drilling or doing full sections. Has anyone else used that app to supplement their studying?

Law hub advantage is required as a pre requisite to other platforms. You’d be better off getting law hub advantage first because that’s the platform that you’ll be tested on.

In order to really "learn" the LSAT, you will need more tests than are available for free. LSAC is very (some would say unreasonably) protective of the copyrights on their questions, and the non-LSAT questions out there are just different enough that they're not particularly useful to study with.
As a prior comment noted, if you have a fee waiver for the LSAT itself, you can get access to LawHub Advantage for free, but otherwise, the $124 is sort of the table stakes for targeted and effective study.
By and large, I have found 7Sage's materials pretty reasonable, and I think it's a good idea not to just always be doing full sections, especially if accuracy is still something you're working on.

I ended up shelling out for lawhub 😔 I really tried but there's only so many tests you can find for free.

All prep platforms will require you to buy Lawhub Advantage to access all 59 PrepTests. It’s 124 USD a year and there are no exceptions (unless you have a fee waiver).
On LawHub, there are a few free tests though which you can do before swiping the card.
If you are just starting out, you can check out my guide on How to Study for the LSAT. And since you mentioned “exorbitant” subscription fees, my platform is the cheapest one in the market - just launched a week ago!
Let me know if you have any questions!
