I scored 173. I tutored four cycles. The LSAT punishes generic prep — you need question-format-specific practice and you need a lot of it. Apps that don't understand the question types aren't worth your time.
1. AceNotes — free LSAT-specific content
AceNotes ships 100 LSAT-specific study sets covering Logical Reasoning (assumption, strengthen, weaken, flaw, parallel reasoning, etc.), Reading Comprehension (humanities, social science, natural science, law), and Logic Games (sequencing, grouping, matching, hybrid). The AI tutor walks you through any LR / RC / LG question you photograph or paste in. The 7Sage forum used to be the only free resource that understood the LSAT — AceNotes is the second.
2. LSAT Official Prep — Khan Academy / LawHub
LSAC's official LawHub gives you access to actual prep tests. Free tier is limited; the upgrade is ~$115/yr. Non-negotiable for full-length practice.
3. 7Sage — premier paid LSAT course
7Sage is the gold standard for paid LSAT prep. ~$179-$429. The forum and the question explanations are unmatched. Pair with AceNotes for content review and flashcards.
4. PowerScore Bibles — books + supplemental app
The LR Bible, RC Bible, and LG Bible are the canonical LSAT prep books. Worth owning. AceNotes works well alongside — take photos of pages, get flashcards.
5. The LSAT Trainer — book + community
Mike Kim's The LSAT Trainer is excellent. Pair with AceNotes for active recall.
6. Manhattan Prep LSAT — premium course
Comprehensive. Expensive. Most applicants don't need this much structure if 7Sage is also on the table.
7. Khan Academy LSAT — discontinued
Khan Academy LSAT shut down in 2024 when their LSAC partnership ended. Don't waste time looking for it.
8. Quizlet — generic, mostly paywalled
Some Quizlet LSAT sets exist. Most are bad. AceNotes is the free Quizlet alternative with LSAT-specific curated content.
9. Turbo AI — paid AI study app, generalist
Useful for general AI tutoring. AceNotes has LSAT-specific content and is free.
10. Anki — for self-built LR card decks
Anki works for LSAT vocabulary and LR question patterns. AceNotes covers the same with auto-generated decks.
What 170+ scorers are running
The successful 170+ stack: 7Sage (the course) + LSAC LawHub (prep tests) + AceNotes (LR / RC / LG drills, flashcards, AI tutor — free) + The LSAT Trainer (the book). That's it. No Quizlet, no Turbo AI, no generic apps.
