Best LSAT Prep Courses


  • #1) Studying with a Private Tutor

    Studying with a private tutor is the most personalized option. Working one-on-one with an LSAT expert will ensure that you allocate your time efficiently and target areas of the test that will give you the greatest opportunity for score gains. This is also the most flexible way to prep with a teacher—your tutor will work around your schedule so you don’t have to worry about moving things around to make it to a class that meets at a certain time. Some options, like Kaplan’s LSAT tutoring, give you access to online lessons or a full Live Online LSAT course so you can supplement your in-person tutoring with self-study.

  • #2) Taking an LSAT Live Online Course

    Skip the commute and take a Live Online LSAT course. You can attend class from anywhere you have a wifi connection. Kaplan’s Live Online LSAT courses are taught by a team of teachers—one teacher leads the lesson on-camera while additional expert instructors answer your questions via chat in real-time. The experience is interactive. No more waiting for an opportune time to raise your hand—get your questions answered as you have them.  Many courses come with additional online study materials so you can brush up on foundational concepts tested on the LSAT.

  • #3) Studying in a Traditional LSAT Classroom

    Some people learn best face-to-face, tapping into the energy of an In-Person Class. Class sizes are small to strike the right balance of individual attention and active participation.

  • #4) Studying on Your Own With an LSAT Self-Paced Online Course

    If you study best on your own and know that you can hold yourself accountable to a consistent schedule, an On-Demand Course is a great option. You’ll get a full self-paced course and online guidance to structure your studying. Kaplan’s On Demand Course comes with access to the LSAT Channel, which features over 150 hours of teacher-led sessions, live or on-demand.
