LSATMax provides all we need for the LSAT
My intention to give a review is not just sugar coating or trying to be nosy brown, I'm writing here to explain my experience studying with the last Max. LSAT Max provides all we need for the LSAT test. Their casts and instructions, trainers are professional with a high GPA background. The sources and materials they provide are useful. The app is amazing, highly recommended.

From 150's to 170's.
This is the best LSAT prep I've used by far - and I've tried a few. I brought my score up from the 150's to the 170's using TestMax. The in-depth learning with the modules really helped me to understand the test architecture inside and out, pushing past some walls I hit in my previous prep.

The in-depth learning with the modules really helped me to understand the test architecture inside and out, pushing past some walls I hit in my previous prep. The huge library of practice tests, with opportunities for different types of review, plus the detailed answer explanations, filled in the gaps where I had previously been left wondering why certain answer choices were correct or incorrect. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is willing to invest the time to excel on the LSAT.

LSATMax FTW.
I love this company, and appreciate the human-ness of Mehran. I was locked out of my account and after a phone call with Mehran (yes, the number listed next to "call us" actually works and you reach a REAL person), he honored my original lifetime purchase. I bought my unlimited package back in October 2019, intending to take a summer 2020 LSAT.

I bought my unlimited package back in October 2019, intending to take a summer 2020 LSAT. Obviously things changed in 2020, and I had to pivot and LSATMax pivoted too, so I had to take the LSATFlex! I'm a military spouse and ended up having to immediately move after my Flex exam, and eventually my score expired. Here I am, in 2025, again studying for the LSAT, which has changed multiple times since I originally bought my lifetime access. I appreciate that LSATMax continues to change as LSAC modifies the LSAT exam. The format of the content is great. Trust the process. I'll be looking into BarMax when the time comes.

This LSAT prep service is superb.
There are practice tests, 30 different categories of questions with hundreds of examples and most importantly, insightful and lengthy answer explanation, graph reports to chart progress, hundreds of recorded "Live" classes on every conceivable topic, and more. Worth every penny. I used it 6 hours a day for three months to study for the LSAT.

Their curriculum is quite excellent.
I felt like I actually learned a lot from their course outside of the skills to do well on the LSAT. I feel like my critical thinking skills have significantly improved and I regularly apply what I learned on LSATMAX to arguments and readings I encounter regularly. Their curriculum is quite excellent.

Their curriculum is quite excellent. I went from scoring no higher than a 164 on practice tests after a couple months of study on my own using Khan Academy to getting a 173 on the test itself.

I started with a diagnostic score of 148 and after a couple of months of studying with only LSATMax, I scored 166 in September. They have video lessons on any topic you need and their analytics helped guide me to target my weaknesses and overcome them. Thank you LSATMax!!

My score improved 9 points from my diagnostic
I appreciated and benefitted from the foundational videos, which gave me a thorough understanding of the LSAT and an awareness of my own strengths and areas of weakness. The classes were also great, allowing for Q&A and providing helpful explanations of challenging questions. My score improved 9 points from my diagnostic to official exam, thanks to LSATMax!

This was a fantastic experience.
From the free call with Mehran to evaluate what my law school goals should be to the consistent care from Nate in assisting with both my LSAT and application essays, LSATMax was professional, helpful, and caring. I was able to increase my score from a 163 to a 172 and have been accepted to top law schools.

The video instruction is very clear and is helping me to stratigize.
I have seen improvement in my skills. The only issue I have had is that the Intro to Reading Comprehension confused me a bit, and I think my performance on that may have declined.

An incredible resource that is well organized, full of information and is easy to navigate.
The team responds quickly to any questions related to the website and the website itself is well built. The lessons provided are insightful, as are the live instructions, and there is a plethora of study material available. I highly recommend to anyone hoping to reach their LSAT score

The price of tutoring and self-study materials is relatively affordable compared to other LSAT prep materials out there. I highly recommend their tutoring as it has helped me personalize my study and focus on areas that I have most difficulty and begin to improve in those areas specifically. Overall my experience has been great!

Amazing resource to work at your own pace with guidance and tutoring option.
I started studying with LSATMaxPrep after being recommended by multiple friends at my university! The lesson plan and materials are such a great way to lay a foundation down in the first few months of studying and be familiar with all things LSAT.
I started studying with LSATMaxPrep after being recommended by multiple friends at my university! The lesson plan and materials are such a great way to lay a foundation down in the first few months of studying and be familiar with all things LSAT. Then there are weekly office hours on every single subject and topic as well as all the recording of past ones in a library, so that there is always an available resource to target specific areas of improvement. So far I have had one tutoring session which was great and helped me make a personalized schedule and understand what kind of test taker I am. It's feels so personalized and yet universal! I highly recommend!

The on demand course format accessibly for a year ended up being exactly what I needed, because I was too burnt out to study when I originally planned to. My tutor (Caroline) was great at helping me study and she also helped me work on my app materials! My score only went up 4 points via practice and 3 points on my final test but I think this has more to do with my lack of rigorous study schedule.

The guidance and resources provided TestMax have been pivotal in my academic journey.
What aspects of your experience were exceptional? Facing the challenge of a disability, I aspired to pursue law but was hindered financial constraints in preparing for the LSAT. Generously, Mehran, the proprietor of TestMax, granted me complimentary access to their preparatory materials following a fee waiver from LSAC.

Generously, Mehran, the proprietor of TestMax, granted me complimentary access to their preparatory materials following a fee waiver from LSAC. Given my necessity for online education due to my disability, I applied to various online law programs. However, the LSAT presented obstacles, primarily due to the exam proctors' lack of training in accessibility, resulting in a score in the lower 120s. What strengths does this company exhibit? TestMax provided me with the invaluable opportunity to prepare for the LSAT at no cost, instilling in me the confidence to attempt the LSAT once more. Most significantly, this support enabled me to succeed in the Purdue Global Law School's entrance examination, therebringing me closer to fulfilling my ambition of earning a Juris Doctor degree to enhance both my personal and my family's wellbeing. Despite the hurdles faced during the LSAT, TestMax's assistance was instrumental in this achievement. Although I attained a score of 30 out of a perfect 40 on the Purdue Global Law entrance exam and still plan to retake the LSAT, the guidance and resources provided TestMax have been pivotal in my academic journey.

Only thing stopping this from being a 5 in my opinion is the occasional typo, I think I've only found 2 so far, in the study questions for various topics. And I noticed one overlapping question stem in Kahn Academy's free version. That being said I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the expertise provided my tutors I am the kind of student who prefers a specified one-on-one learning environment.

As well as the lecturers because I can select any topic at a given time to work on. I never took any form of preparation before a standardized test but the LSAT felt to important to not try my absolute best so I appreciate the effort and the option to have this service available.

The program even has a special analytic features to support the student in seeing their problem areas, as well as, their successful areas. I enjoy the live office hours. Another great feature is, if you miss the office hours and wanted to see what they worked on, you have the ability to go back and watch them. Mehran and Jessica care about their community and are very accessible. I cannot be happier with my score, and I cannot thank the LSATMax team enough!

Amazing Tutoring Program.
The curriculum LSAT Max provides is stellar, but by far my best improvements came from their tutoring program. I was tutored by Mika Macdonald; they were incredibly helpful and personalized our sessions to best fit a study plan to my needs and goals. Couldn't recommend enough after getting back my test results!

Nate Stein.
Nate always goes above and beyond to make sure his students succeed. Whenever I had a question on a particular topic or wasn't quite grasping a new piece of information, he would find creative ways to explain the concept to me using helpful metaphors and a range of examples.

Nate's patience is unmatched, and he approaches each explanation with a level of enthusiasm you could expect from someone teaching something for the first time, even though I'm sure he's covered these topics many times over. I couldn't have asked for a better tutor to work with and am so grateful for Nate's help!

I was able to improve my score from a 163 to a 178
sticking to LSATMax's flexible yet rigorous program and utilizing office hours with their excellent tutors, I was able to improve my score from a 163 to a 178. LSATMax is intuitive and easy to use; and, most importantly, the LSATMax team is constantly innovating, exploring new strategies and methods to get an edge on its competition.

The material that is being presented and the "homework" that is assigned is helping me greatly. I do feel like some of the videos are too long and could be broken up into shorter segments, but I think that is just a personal preference for me.

I think the lecture and then practice setup is super helpful. The only tool that is not really clicking for me is the flash cards. I feel like working through the problems and identifying the terms along the way helps, for me, a lot more than trying to memorize the definitions. But over all I really love this prep-course. I think my only regret was not starting it earlier.

Best investment in time and money with people who really understand the LSAT and break it down.
Before LSATMax, I was taking an hour on each logic game. My LR wasn't all there either. I jumped in with both feet and learned tricks to all the games within my first week. But I really wish I had taken advantage of the 1-1 tutoring earlier on. After only 3 one-hour sessions, I was breezing through logic games, armed with the tricks and tips the 99% use.

But I really wish I had taken advantage of the 1-1 tutoring earlier on. After only 3 one-hour sessions, I was breezing through logic games, armed with the tricks and tips the 99% use. My LR and RC scores improved proportional to the time I spent running through test questions and reading the reasons why the answers were correct or incorrect. This has been invaluable feedback, since the question types and trick answers repeat over and over. Best investment in time and money with people who really understand the LSAT and break it down. I put off the LSAT for 20 years out of sheer intimidation. Now it's no big deal.

LSAT MAX explanations for conditional statements are unparallel. It is almost as if AI is writing the explanations. I am referring to the explanations done in green.Ironically, having to diagram LR questions is very tedious and irritating. LSAT MAX explanations in green make this much easier to digest.

I am referring to the explanations done in green.Ironically, having to diagram LR questions is very tedious and irritating. LSAT MAX explanations in green make this much easier to digest. The ability to connect conditional chains in my mind is only possible because of the explanations that appear in GREEN color after selecting the LR answer choices. The explanations that are given however, a live female voice, on whiteboard format, in the upper right hand corner button of certain questions are more geared toward the diagramming itself and not so much conditional chains. Those explanations diagram the conditional statements in the oppose direction than do the explanations in green. All I also enjoy how LSAT MAX lectures Mehran are able to break down words and phrases that distinguish the right from the wrong answers on LR.

The self-paced mode is great. The prerecorded lectures are very thorough and informative. The explanations and discussion board are super helpful for getting questions answered and clarity on questions. They also go a long way in personalizing everything and making sure that each student can maximize their score.

The plethora of resources available to users is crazy - from printable resources to message boards to tutoring to office hours (videos that are recorded and uploaded to the website for use at any time) to informative videos. I feel like LSAT Max is accessible to all learners and really makes the process easier and less stressful. I’m not a good standardized test taker, but the structure and support from LSAT Max truly helped me get a strong LSAT score. Cannot recommend enough!

It is instructive, user-friendly, and the self-pacing ability gives you the space & time to fit your needs.
ne really has to be self-motivated, reflective and accountable to get the most out of the lesson and practice. Cannot stress enough how important it is to pause videos, take notes, and rewatch portions when needed. It is a serious time investment, be prepared to make it. Totally worth it though! One thing that is a little confusing at first is the analytics dashboard.

One thing that is a little confusing at first is the analytics dashboard. Keep in mind, it is an accumulation of all you do as you study. So, if you want extra practice based off the dashboard, it is possible, but you will have to choose where the start & finish lines are. Lastly, as much as your schedule will permit do the Daily Drills. As they will help you to see how much you have learned and can retain. Ultimately, the module-style of learning is different, but it can work. Above all else, give yourself the space and grace to learn what you do not know. As well as time to either improve or solidify what you are good at.
