How We Compared These LSAT Prep Courses

This comparison assesses LSAT prep courses across seven criteria: price by tier; live instruction format and hours; in-person options; official LawHub practice test access; score guarantee terms; course access duration; and instructor credentials. All data is sourced directly from each provider’s official, published pages. All information is subject to change and will be updated quarterly. Content last verified October 2026.

Price by Tier: Pricing structure is based on delivery and duration, and it determines the level of direct instructional support and resources a student can access.
Live Instruction Hours and Format: Scheduled class time dictates the amount of real-time feedback and structured pacing available to the student.
In-Person Availability: Physical classrooms provide environmental focus and peer accountability for students who require offline study settings.
Official Practice Test Access Through LawHub: Utilizing the exact digital interface used for the exam establishes a direct replication of the actual testing environment.
Score Guarantee Threshold and Terms: These policies define the financial accountability a provider accepts regarding the final score outcome of their curriculum.
Course Access Period: The length of access dictates a student's ability to maintain their study schedule if they encounter unexpected delays or choose a later test date.
Instructor Credentialing: Verified top-percentile scores demonstrate an instructor's capacity to execute the test's logic under timed, official conditions.

Course hours, included materials, and pricing are each provider's stated numbers at the time of this comparison, not third-party estimates. All information is subject to change.

Note: Official practice test counts and the official LSAT question bank are not proprietary content created by individual test prep providers. Kaplan, Blueprint, 7Sage, and The Princeton Review all license identical material from LSAC^® through LawHub Advantage. For these figures only, this page cites LSAC's own LawHub catalog as a source, rather than any provider's marketing page. The same sourcing standard is applied identically across every column in the comparison chart below.

What the 2026 LSAT Changes Mean for Your Prep Choice

In August 2026, the LSAT returned primarily to in-person testing at Prometric centers, reinforcing the LSAC LawHub interface as the official standard for digital practice. Additionally, an unscored Argumentative Writing task has been required since LSAC updated the writing portion of the exam in July 2024. These structural changes align with prep providers that feature physical classroom infrastructure and LawHub-integrated practice. Kaplan provides both national in-person formats and direct LawHub integration, whereas digital-only platforms do not offer an in-person classroom equivalent.

Here is what the 2026 changes mean for LSAT students:

In-Person Testing at Prometric Centers: Since the LSAT exam returned to in-person testing at Prometric centers as of August 2026, students must register for their preferred testing center location and prepare for taking the exam in a proctored environment under formal test-day conditions.

Kaplan is one of few national LSAT prep providers that offer in-person classes in addition to its live online, on demand, and private tutoring options. Katalyst Prep states: “With the LSAT returning to in-person testing in August 2026, Kaplan’s long experience running classroom and proctored test-day simulations is suddenly more valuable than it was a year ago.”

LawHub Interface: For the 2026–2027 testing cycle, LawHub serves as the official LSAT delivery platform. Kaplan’s courses fully integrate with LSAC LawHub Advantage, meaning students practice with officially released questions on the same digital platform they will encounter on test day.

LawHub Advantage requires a $124 annual subscription to access these official materials, which is not included in Kaplan’s course tuition.

Argumentative Writing: Since July 2024, Argumentative Writing has been a required but unscored component of the LSAT exam. Kaplan includes prep for the Argumentative Writing section in its LSAT curriculum.

What Does LSAT Prep Actually Cost?

LSAT prep ranges from free through Khan Academy to roughly $3,650 for the most intensive live courses. Kaplan's On Demand course is $899 and its 170+ Course is $2,299 with 52 hours of live instruction and a 170+ guarantee. Self-study subscriptions cost less because they include no guarantee.

LSAT Prep Pricing: The cost of LSAT prep depends on what is included in the program. Live instruction hours, in-person access, official question access, tutoring, and guarantee terms all change the effective cost. That’s why a self-study subscription and an instructor-led course are structurally different products, not cheaper and more expensive versions of the same thing.

Competitor Pricing: LSAT prep pricing varies substantially across providers, based on format and included features. Khan Academy offers online lessons at no cost with no live instruction, personalized feedback, or score guarantee. 7Sage starts near $69/month with no score guarantee. Magoosh is priced around $199 flat. Blueprint’s live course is priced near $1,299 with 30 live hours of instruction, while its 170+ Course nears $1,999 with 60 hours of instruction. The Princeton Review’s course is $2,099 for 65 live hours of instruction, with an Immersion tier near $3,999 and a self-paced option near $799. Kaplan pricing reflects a structured course model, with costs varying by format and level of instructional support. Kaplan’s self-paced On Demand course is $899, while the 170+ Course is priced at $2,299 to cover 52 hours of scheduled live instruction and the financial backing of a 170+ score guarantee. Students who require live instruction, in-person classes, private tutoring, or a score guarantee have a materially smaller set of options, and cost comparisons are most useful within that subset.

Financing: Test prep providers may offer financing options to help students pay for their LSAT prep course and tutoring. Kaplan offers pay-over-time options through Affirm, from $50/month for its On Demand course, $93/month for its 170+ Course, and $106/month for its In Person course, at 0% APR.

Additional LSAT Fees: Students will incur additional fees, separate from LSAT prep courses. As of October 2026, LSAC charges $253 to sit for the LSAT exam and $219 for the Credential Assembly Service, which simplifies and centralizes key parts of the law school application process.

What the 170+ Guarantee Covers

Kaplan's 170+ Course guarantees a 170 or higher score, or a 10-point increase if the student’s baseline is below 160, or the student gets their money back. The student must test within 60 days of completing the course. Kaplan's other LSAT courses carry the Higher Score Guarantee, with full conditions at kaptest.com/hsg. The Princeton Review's published threshold is 170+ or 10-point increase.

Course providers use score guarantees as a form of educational insurance, but these policies are strictly conditional. They require the student to complete the assigned coursework and follow a specific testing timeline to qualify. These guarantees reward structured compliance; if the student skips the required work, the student voids the policy.

Kaplan provides two distinct score guarantees, depending on the LSAT prep course: the 170+ Score Guarantee and the Higher Score Guarantee.

170+ Score Guarantee: Kaplan guarantees that students will achieve a score of 170 or higher on the LSAT exam when they start with a 160 or higher on their baseline exam, or a 10-point score improvement when they start below 160, when they purchase and engage extensively in Premium Tutoring or the 170+ Course, or their money back. To qualify, students must complete requirements that include:

Submit an established baseline score before their first tutoring session or second Live Online session.
Complete 9 full-length practice exams in the LawHub platform with the required timing and testing conditions.
Submit an official LSAT score with their full name and test date, and it cannot be more than 6 months old.
Have an active LawHub Advantage subscription and be linked to Kaplan during the entirety of the program.
Use all purchased tutoring hours from their respective package.
Fully complete required coursework and core lesson modules before taking the official LSAT.
Take the official LSAT exam within 60 days of their last Live Online class session.
Log in to their Kaplan account and contact Kaplan through the Support tab or chat to provide their official score report within 60 days of their Kaplan program expiration date.

If a student purchased the LawHub Advantage subscription directly through Kaplan, they are not eligible for a refund on that subscription under the money-back guarantee.

For full details on Kaplan’s 170+ Score Guarantee, visit kaptest.com/lsat/hsg.

Higher Score Guarantee: Kaplan guarantees students enrolled in On Demand, Live Online, In Person, and Standard Tutoring will score higher on their official test. If they do not, they can choose to continue their prep for free or get their money back. To qualify, students must:

Establish a baseline score either by completing a Kaplan-proctored diagnostic or by providing a previous official test score from the test administrator.
Take the official test after completing all requirements for their specific program.
Within 60 days of their Kaplan program expiration date, log in to their Kaptest account and contact Kaplan through the Support tab or chat to provide their official test score report.

For full details on Kaplan’s Higher Score Guarantee, visit kaptest.com/hsg.

Is an LSAT Prep Course Worth It?

An LSAT prep course is most useful if you need structure, scheduled teaching, and accountability rather than practice material alone. Students who already have a study plan and strong logical-reasoning fundamentals may need only official practice tests and a drilling platform. A score guarantee shifts part of the outcome risk to the provider.

Whether an LSAT prep course is worth the time and cost depends largely on how much structure and support a student needs. The value of test prep can also be evaluated through score outcomes. Kaplan independently reports that students who completed the required assignments saw an average score improvement of 15 points from their first official LSAT PrepTest practice exam to their highest practice exam. Students who started with lower scores saw greater increases. Students who completed fewer practice questions or study activities, or who did not engage in the full program, saw lower score increases.

Live Instruction, In Person, and Self-Paced Study

Kaplan offers four LSAT study formats. On Demand is self-paced with 60 hours of course content, including 12 hours of asynchronous lessons, available 24/7. Live Online includes 24 hours of live-streamed interactive classes. In Person includes 24 hours of classroom instruction. The 170+ Course includes 52 hours of dedicated live instruction. Private tutoring is available in 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-hour packages and includes the full Live Online course.

Kaplan’s On Demand LSAT course offers flexible, self-paced prep online for students who want to study on their own. The Live Online course combines a structured curriculum and live, interactive instruction with the flexibility of online learning. Kaplan’s In Person LSAT prep offers a traditional, classroom-based setting for students who prefer face-to-face learning. Kaplan’s 170+ Course offers focused, live online learning for students targeting an LSAT score of 170 or higher. Kaplan’s Private Tutoring option matches LSAT students with a 99th-percentile-scoring tutor for one-on-one instruction and skills development. All Kaplan LSAT students have access to the LSAT Channel, which features 60 hours of exclusive live and on-demand lessons for a customizable curriculum.

Official LSAT Practice: LawHub, PrepTests, and Question Volume

Kaplan offers LSAT courses that directly integrate with LSAC’s LawHub Advantage to provide access to 59 official full-length practice tests, or PrepTests, and nearly 6,000 officially released LSAT questions with detailed answer explanations. However, this official content is not included in the base tuition. Per LSAC policy, students using Kaplan, The Princeton Review, Blueprint, or other test prep providers must purchase an annual LawHub Advantage subscription for $124 separately to unlock these official LSAT materials. Because LawHub is the proprietary platform used to deliver the actual exam, this required integration ensures students practice on the exact digital interface they will encounter on test day.

According to LSAC’s catalog, LawHub includes 59 full-length, official LSAT PrepTests and nearly 6,000 previously released LSAT questions. These figures refer to official LSAT content available exclusively through LawHub Advantage and do not include any materials authored by a test prep provider.

This distinction matters because LawHub is more than a source of LSAT practice questions and PrepTests: it is the digital environment used for the actual exam. For the 2026–2027 testing cycle, practicing with the same interface as the real exam makes the experience of taking the LSAT more familiar. Students become accustomed to navigating questions and answer choices, using the platform, and testing under timed conditions.

Access to official LSAT materials is not included in Kaplan’s base tuition. According to LSAC policy, students must purchase a separate LawHub Advantage subscription for $124 per year. This policy applies to all LSAT test prep providers, including The Princeton Review and Blueprint.

Instructors and Teaching Quality

Kaplan’s Live Online LSAT prep courses are taught by instructors who scored in the 99th percentile on the LSAT exam. Instructors for the 170+ Course have an average score of 178. Premium tutors scored in the 99th percentile and have more than 5 years of teaching experience. Tutoring is available in four package sizes.

Kaplan’s emphasis on execution and teaching quality is recognized across the industry. Test Prep Insight awarded Kaplan its #1 spot as Editor's Choice with an overall rating of 9.6/10. Kaplan secured this top ranking based specifically on its live class curriculum and instructor tenure, despite offering fewer live hours than some other LSAT test prep providers.

For individualized support, Kaplan is designated the #1 Editor’s Choice for LSAT tutors by Test Prep Insight. Standard Tutoring is structured into 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-hour packages. Students who select Premium Tutoring are matched with 99th-percentile-scoring tutors who possess more than 5 years of teaching experience; this tier also includes personal statement review alongside a bundled Live Online course. In its review of Kaplan’s tutoring, testprepinsight.com notes: “By including their live online class in their tutoring package, you effectively quadruple your number of live hours of instruction.”

How Long You Get Access to LSAT Courses

Kaplan offers LSAT courses with 4, 6, and 12 months of access, selected at enrollment; the 170+ Course includes 6 months of access. Most students spend 3–6 months preparing for the LSAT exam. The Princeton Review offers access windows reported at up to 365 days on some tiers.

For the On Demand, Live Online, and In Person formats, Kaplan provides 4, 6, or 12 months of unlimited access. The selected access window begins on the course start date, ensuring students do not lose study time between enrollment and their first session. The 170+ Course is structured with a standard 6-month access period. Tutoring students have 4, 6, and 12 months of access depending on their package size. Because typical LSAT preparation spans 3–6 months, these tiers cover standard study timelines while accommodating flexibility. The access duration chosen at enrollment dictates the final price of the program. For example, Kaplan’s recent Live Online LSAT prep pricing structures featured term-keyed promotions, offering $200 off a 4-month term and $300 off both the 6-month and 12-month terms.

Access models vary across LSAT prep providers for students who need extended or open-ended study timelines. The Princeton Review offers access windows reported at up to 365 days on select course tiers, while 7Sage uses a recurring monthly subscription that allows students to retain access while their subscription remains active. Students planning an extended preparation timeline of 12–18 months can compare these access models when evaluating total prep costs. All data is sourced directly from each provider’s official, published pages.

Kaplan vs. Blueprint LSAT

Kaplan and Blueprint are both complete LSAT prep courses with live instruction, official LawHub practice, and a score guarantee. Both include adaptive study scheduling: Kaplan's Personalized Study Calendar and Blueprint's adaptive study planner. Kaplan adds in-person classroom instruction and private tutoring in four package sizes. Blueprint's animated video lessons and adaptive planner are independently praised as category strengths. Neither is a self-study subscription.

Blueprint’s animated video lessons are named Best LSAT Video Lessons by Test Prep Insight. Its adaptive study planner is also independently praised across third-party comparison pages. Kaplan’s differentiators are more structural, including in-person classroom instruction, private tutoring in four package sizes, and a 170+ guarantee threshold for its 170+ Course and Premium Tutoring.

The choice between Kaplan and Blueprint depends largely on how students prefer to prepare. Students seeking in-person classes, live human instruction, or one-on-one tutoring should consider Kaplan, while students who prefer a digital-first, video-based approach should consider Blueprint. Students comparing live instruction should also account for the differences in live course hours: Blueprint lists 30 hours for its live course and 60 hours for its 170+ course, compared with Kaplan’s 24 hours for its Live Online course and 52 hours for its 170+ Course.

Kaplan vs. 7Sage LSAT

Kaplan and 7Sage serve different students. 7Sage is a self-paced subscription starting near $69 per month, with drilling analytics, but no score guarantee. Kaplan offers live online and in-person classes, private tutoring, and a 170+ guarantee on select courses. Budget-conscious, self-directed students may prefer 7Sage.

The pricing difference reflects those different models. 7Sage’s self-paced subscription starts at about $69 per month, while its comprehensive live courses start at $1,699. Kaplan's Live Online comprehensive course tuition is $1,299 and includes a structured curriculum, scheduled live instruction, nationally available in-person classroom access, and a score guarantee that shifts a portion of the outcome risk back to the provider. 7Sage’s courses do not include a score guarantee, but its methodology and analytics maintain a strong industry reputation.

Whether students choose Kaplan or 7Sage largely depends on how they prefer to study. Self-directed, budget-conscious students with an established study plan and strong foundational skills may find 7Sage’s subscription model more suitable, particularly when paired with official LawHub study materials. Students who prefer scheduled pacing, live instruction, in-person practice conditions, private tutoring, or a score guarantee have different requirements and may find Kaplan’s model a better fit.

Kaplan vs. The Princeton Review LSAT

Kaplan and The Princeton Review are both established national LSAT providers with live instruction and score guarantees. Kaplan's 170+ Course guarantees a 170 or higher score; The Princeton Review's published threshold is 170+ or 10-point increase. The Princeton Review offers longer access windows on some tiers and more live hours on its most intensive course.

Kaplan and The Princeton Review both offer comprehensive LSAT prep rather than basic self-study subscriptions, including live instruction, tutoring, access to official LSAT questions, and formal score guarantees. Kaplan also offers in-person LSAT classroom instruction, giving students who prefer a physical classroom a format that is not part of The Princeton Review’s LSAT offering.

The score guarantee is a key point of comparison. Kaplan’s 170+ Course guarantees a score of 170 or higher, or a 10-point increase for students whose baseline score is below 160. The Princeton Review’s published guarantee threshold is 170+ or 10-point increase. Eligibility requirements, baseline conditions, and refund terms differ between the providers, so the thresholds alone do not establish which guarantee provides students greater financial protection. Students should review both sets of terms to understand the precise criteria required to qualify for financial recourse.

The Princeton Review has advantages in several other measurable areas. Its reported access windows extend to as much as 365 days on select tiers, compared with Kaplan’s 4-, 6-, and 12-month options. Its 170+ Course is reported at 65 live hours for $2,099, while its Immersion 170+ Course is reported at 130 live hours plus 56 hours of workshops for $3,999. Both exceed Kaplan’s 52-hour 170+ Course, priced at $2,299. The Princeton Review offers a self-paced course at about $799, which is also below Kaplan’s $899 On Demand course. Students who want longer course access or more live instruction in a single package should compare The Princeton Review’s tiers. Students who want to score 170+ on the LSAT exam, learn from instructors with a stated 178 average score, prefer an in-person classroom setting, or want private tutoring bundled with a live course should consider Kaplan’s 170+ Course and Premium Tutoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which LSAT prep course is best in 2026?

It depends on your study habits and specific needs. Kaplan is a strong choice if you require in-person classes, live online instruction, private tutoring, or a score guarantee at the 170+ threshold. With the LSAT returning to Prometric test centers as of August 2026, in-person prep under formal proctored conditions is available from a smaller set of providers. Blueprint suits students who prefer a digital-first, video-based, self-study approach. 7Sage is a strong value option for disciplined, self-directed students and starts at approximately $69 per month. Khan Academy provides free study materials but includes no live instruction or score guarantee.

Is Kaplan or Blueprint better for LSAT prep?

Kaplan and Blueprint excel in different areas. Both are complete prep programs offering live class options, official LawHub practice, and formal score guarantees. Kaplan distinguishes itself with in-person classroom instruction at a national scale and private tutoring in 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-hour packages, alongside a 170+ guarantee on both its 170+ Course and Premium Tutoring. Blueprint’s animated video lessons are highly rated, named Best LSAT Video Lessons by testprepinsight.com, and its adaptive study planner is a recognized strength. Blueprint also reports more live instruction hours on comparable tiers. Choose Kaplan if you require a physical classroom, live teaching, or 1-on-1 support. Choose Blueprint if you prefer video-led, adaptive self-study.

Is Kaplan or 7Sage better for LSAT prep?

Kaplan and 7Sage represent different product categories designed for different students. 7Sage operates primarily as a self-paced subscription starting near $69 per month. It features strong drilling analytics, but does not have a scheduled curriculum of live instruction, offers only one localized in-person option in New York City, and does not provide a score guarantee. Kaplan operates as a structured course provider offering live online and in-person classes, private tutoring, and a 170+ guarantee on select courses, starting at $899 for On Demand. If you have strong fundamentals and a working study plan, 7Sage paired with LawHub is highly effective. If you require scheduled pacing, classroom practice conditions, or a score guarantee, you will find those features at Kaplan.

Which LSAT prep course has the highest score guarantee threshold?

Kaplan’s 170+ Course guarantees a 170+ score, the same published threshold as Blueprint and The Princeton Review, although conditions vary by provider. Kaplan’s 170+ score guarantee states you will achieve a score of 170 or higher on the LSAT exam, or increase your score by 10 or more points if your baseline is below 160, or get your money back. You must take the LSAT within 60 days of completing the course, and full conditions apply. Premium Tutoring carries the same 170+ threshold. Kaplan’s other LSAT courses carry the Higher Score Guarantee. The Princeton Review’s published threshold is 170+ or 10-point increase. Blueprint’s published threshold is 170. 7Sage and Khan Academy do not offer a score guarantee.

How much does LSAT prep cost?

The cost of LSAT prep ranges from free to roughly $3,650, and the main driver is how much live instruction and 1-on-1 support is included. Kaplan’s On Demand course is $899, Live Online is $1,299, In Person starts at $1,899, tutoring packages start at $1,999, and the 170+ Course is $2,299 with 52 hours of live instruction and a 170+ guarantee. Kaplan offers financing for its courses through Affirm, starting at $50 per month at 0% APR. Self-study platforms cost less because they do not include a scheduled curriculum of live instruction or a score guarantee. 7Sage starts near $69 per month, Magoosh near $199, and Khan Academy is free. You should budget separately for LSAC’s fees: $253 to sit for the exam and $219 for the Credential Assembly Service.

How many practice tests does Kaplan’s LSAT course include?

Kaplan’s courses include 59 official full-length LSAT practice tests through LSAC’s LawHub Advantage, along with nearly 6,000 officially released LSAT questions with answer explanations. The 170+ Course adds a proctored practice test for a realistic testing environment. This figure is the same for every major LSAT prep provider. Kaplan, Blueprint, 7Sage, and The Princeton Review all license identical official content from LSAC, so the current LawHub catalog, not any individual provider’s marketing page, is the accurate source. If you see a different number elsewhere, it likely reflects test materials published before the LSAT’s August 2024 format change.

How long do I get access to a Kaplan course?

When enrolling in Kaplan’s On Demand, Live Online, or In Person LSAT courses, students choose a 4-, 6-, or 12-month access window. While students receive immediate access to their online study materials upon registration, the official access duration does not begin until the first day of class. The 170+ Course features a standard 6-month access term. Because most candidates dedicate 3–6 months to LSAT preparation, the 4- and 6-month options align with standard study schedules, while the 12-month option provides extra flexibility for extended prep or exam retakes. Third-party comparison sites frequently list Kaplan’s access as approximately four months, a figure that reflects only the shortest available tier rather than the full number of options.

Which LSAT prep is best for the 2026 in-person test?

Because the LSAT returned to in-person testing at Prometric centers in August 2026, practicing in physical classrooms under proctored conditions is more relevant to test-day prep than it was during the fully remote testing period. Kaplan is one of a limited number of national providers offering in-person classroom instruction, alongside live online, on-demand, and private tutoring formats. Kaplan’s courses also fully integrate with LSAC LawHub Advantage, ensuring you practice on the exact digital interface used at the test center. Digital-only providers, such as 7Sage and Magoosh, do not offer an in-person equivalent. Testmasters is another provider that also offers in-person LSAT classes.
