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.

This is the program you need if you are not a confident standardized tester.
I never thought I would be taking the LSAT. Then, when I finally realized I wanted to go to law school, I decided to tackle this exam. My cousin who used TestMax prep for her bar preparation recommended LSAT Max to me. I had a goal of 160, and I reached this goal today after taking the official exam only once. I am able to apply to my target school and feel confident in my score.

I am able to apply to my target school and feel confident in my score. LSAT Max was so helpful and unconventional. The tutors never made me feel stupid, nor did they suck up to LSAC. They tell it how it is, and make anyone believe they can reach their goal. I was not sucked into 7sage and other programs that nickle and dime you and tend to have an elitist perspective on the LSAT. All the tutors and people who helped me from LSAT max were so kind and reassuring. They even send you a text on your test day. They go above an beyond. AND, because of their yearly sale (huge discount) I paid so much less than I would have if I went with a different tutoring service. There are people like me, aspiring to hit 160, and there are people aspiring for 170+. Anyone can prosper in this program. Even their free version is a great place to start, and when you feel like you are not understanding something, just join a live class and ask a question or use the amazing tutoring sessions!

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.

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.

My score increased 10 points with LSATMax.
I cannot recommend it enough. The staff is extremely helpful and responsive to questions, the message boards are helpful, and the video explanations of questions provide ample resources to review and understand any incorrect responses.

The staff is extremely helpful and responsive to questions, the message boards are helpful, and the video explanations of questions provide ample resources to review and understand any incorrect responses. 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!

So far, I've been going through the introductory lessons and I hope to get onto main point questions today. I started using LSAT Max last year, and I could tell they were more than competent at teaching students the proper skills needed to take the LSAT.
So far, I've been going through the introductory lessons and I hope to get onto main point questions today. I started using LSAT Max last year, and I could tell they were more than competent at teaching students the proper skills needed to take the LSAT. (99th percentile instructors here versus 92nd percentile over at Princeton Review...they only can guarantee a 165 which isn't enough for me to get into NYU). Now that I have a year off before law school, I have fully committed to this course!Even in just the few lessons I've done so far, the instructors take the time to let you know how the skills you're learning are important. I understand how I will be using Logical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension and Analytical Reasoning in law school and I feel better prepared to be successful in law school learning these skills now. The positive approach of each instructor is also very helpful.Another notable thing is how LSAT Max uses a variety of instructors to teach the lessons. Different instructors speak slower and others speak quicker, and as students understand the material at different rates, this can be very helpful for us! For the lessons that are a bit too slow for me, I use the speed up option, and for the lessons that are too fast, I slow down the video.I know that these are perhaps unconventional things that I am mentioning to compliment a course, but it isn't just the content of the lessons, it's the way they teach you, and the way they make sure you understand the skills you're actually studying underneath the words "Logical Reasoning" and "Sufficient and Necessary Conditions".LSAT Max goes the extra mile, and that's why you should choose this course.

My experience with LSATMax has been pretty great. I've been enrolled for a little over 6 month's and I wouldn't have improved the way I did (with certain sections of the LSAT) without this program. There are a number of services that add to the total experience like office hours recordings and live office hours with 99th percentile tutors.

However, certain parts of the program have some minor glitches like where answer choices don't align. Before discovering LSATMax I was lost, but now I have a day to day schedule to stick to and more right at my fingertips.

I did a handful of tutoring sessions with Ravi. He put me on a study plan that included drilling, practice testing, and blind review. The drilling schedule was particularly useful for mastering logic games. I don’t think I would’ve scored in the 170s without Ravi’s help. He’s extremely knowledgeable about the LSAT and a great educator!

I used LSAT tutoring services with the company, and it was great! Ravi was my tutor... I highly recommend you work with him. He is very patient and helpful and knows what to do if you want to score high (he got a 180 on his LSAT).

Prior to studying with TestMax, I had taken the LSAT once. I must say, it was a complete disaster. After purchasing the 6 month study program, I attempted the LSAT a second time. I left the exam feeling I had wasted my money and 6 months of my life. I knew I had once again, scored miserably on the exam. So much that I called the CEO of TestMax and expressed my frustration.

The CEO was supportive and suggested that I await my score results and offered support. Much to my surprise, when I received my score, I had increased 11 points from my original score. I was so thrilled and surprised to have scored in the target range of my school of choice! Seeing my score, and filled with excitement, I submitted my application. A short 10 days later, I received a congratulations notification confirming my admission. I can't speak highly enough about TestMax, the CEO, and their knowledgeable, patient and talented instructors. If not for their guidance and instruction, I would not be attending law school. Thank you TestMax! If you're reading this, and as I was once, filled with frustration or just beginning your LSAT journey, don't hesitate, contact them. They will help you. If they can help me, they can help you.

After hitting a wall around 160 with self-study, I decided to try out LSATMax. Ravi worked with me to develop a study schedule and sort out my weaknesses. The LSATMax course content was also super useful in developing a solid foundation for strategy and timing, and Office Hours only added to this learning process.

TestMax helped to raise my score from a 153 to a 165. The course is structured in a way to make it user friendly and stress-less. I thoroughly enjoyed the content I encountered and felt it was extremely accurate to the actual LSAT. The one-on-one tutors I got paired with were amazing. Great people who not only helped to advance my LSAT scores, but became my friends.

So I came into LSATMax with a target score of 165, and it felt like every couple weeks the target score shot up. Ended up with a 180, starting at a 162. I can not say it was easy, but LSATMax certainly helped along the way.

TestMax has helped me increase my score from a 158 to a 170. I could not score in the 160’s for the longest and now I am consistently scoring 168-170. I purchased tutoring sessions and immediately saw results. Abwas so knowledgeable and encouraging. She made all the difference. I also had Rob as my tutor for one session and learned so much in just one hour. I definitely recommend tutoring!

Ravi always gave thoughtful explanations and feedback during our tutoring sessions. His knowledge, patience, and encouragement helped me score in the 99th percentile on the LSAT.

Working with Ravi helped improve my LSAT score immensely. His approach to teaching comes not only from a mastery of the material (he achieved a perfect 180 on his LSAT), but in identifying the nuanced thinking patterns of his respective students.

On numerous occasions, Ravi helped me dismantle whole question types one afternoon, which might have otherwise taken me days/weeks to fully comprehend on my own. I could not recommend a better tutor.

After just one LSAT tutoring session with Ravi Reddy, my score jumped up from a 165 to a 171. He rapidly identified my strengths and weaknesses and knew exactly how to improve each one. He was patient, professional, and friendly, and it felt like he was genuinely invested in my success. I could not have asked for a better tutor.

I would definitely recommend LSATMax for doing well on the LSAT. The course was really helpful in giving me a foundation of what to expect on the test and the skills necessary to do well. Also, the daily office hours were great for helping me learn other strategies from various tutors who you can tell have a deep understanding of and appreciation for the test.

Additionally, working with a tutor (I worked with Ravi, who I would definitely recommend—he was really great and easy to work with!!) helped me a ton with finding out what I was struggling with and how to mitigate those problems. He helped me so much with not just the content of the test but also with making me feel a thousand times more confident about the test. I credit him and the course with helping me not only do well the first time I took the test but also helping me raise my score another eight points a couple months later. 10/10 would recommend for anyone who plans to take the LSAT!

I started studying for the LSAT around February of 2021. I got a 157 on the first diagnostic, after a small amount of practice. At first, it was discouraging, but I did some research and saw there was people out there who raise their scores a considerable amount. My friends recommended TestMax as a prep course for the LSAT and I gave it a try.

My friends recommended TestMax as a prep course for the LSAT and I gave it a try. I began studying everyday and slowly working my way through the course. It helped me out tremendously and the staff are super informative and responsive to your questions and needs. I ended up receiving a 174 on the January LSAT and it really would not have been possible without this prep course!! Those stories you see of people raising their scores 15-20 points are real and you can do the same thing if you are willing to put the work in.

Thanks to LSATMax, I was able to raise my score 11 points in a short amount of time. However, this would not have been remotely possible without the help of an excellent tutor, Rob. He was able to explain concepts that I was struggling with in a clear, concise manner and guide me through problems with precision and enthusiasm.

I highly recommend this program, and especially Rob, to anyone looking to improve their score!

For LSAT tutoring, I worked with Clyde Engle and, in full transparency, Clyde is singlehandedly the only redeeming quality about LSATMax. Every single other aspect in choosing LSATMax as a course was subpar and iffy—if you are thinking of doing LSATMax, I would say only do it if you plan to do tutoring with Clyde. From the beginning, he was consistently encouraging, professional, and respectful.

From the beginning, he was consistently encouraging, professional, and respectful. But, he was also appreciably and bluntly straightforward—I knew with him that I was never going to get things sugarcoated and a false sense of security, which in the LSAT and law school admissions process, is incredibly needed to successfully navigate these competitive waters. He was kind and uplifting, but also gave me constructive criticism, which is what you pay a tutor for. A good tutor is one that can be real with you and tell you where you’re at, so they can help get you to where you want to go. After tutoring with Clyde, I was able to bring my practice exam scores from a 160 to as high as a 174. I really don’t credit the LSAT Max course for this—I credit Clyde and his instruction and strategies.

LSATMax's private tutors (as well as its online prep program) are fantastic. With their help I was able to improve from an initial 154 to a 164 on October's test. I'm currently averaging in the high 160s-low 170s on practice tests as I continue studying for the November exam. I primarily worked with Abigail George, a great person and inspiring teacher.

I had a blast analyzing games with her, and learned key insights during each of our sessions. For maximum improvement on the LSAT, I highly recommend scheduling some appointments to meet up with Abigail for online tutoring.

LSATmax gave me every opportunity I needed to succeed. The study plans, lessons, tutors and tests helped me stay on track with my studying and allowed me to work my way to success. I went from a 150 diagnostic test to a 167 on test day, and I owe it to the opportunities and resources provided with LSATmax.

I actually loved the course! Mehran's lectures are fun and exciting. The tutoring, other than at the beginning when I didn't know what I was doing, were not for me. I found them time consuming and stressful.I think it would be extremely helpful upfront and in multiple locations to indicate the minimum number of days to get through all of the lectures and diagnostic tests.

I initially went too slow because I thought I had more time, so I only got through the lectures and last diagnostic the night before my LSAT.Clark Haney was invaluable. He sold me the right package and checked in repeatedly.You don't have explanations posted for every logic game, which I think is important.Overall, a terrific, masterfully designed prep course. I just needed to start it earlier.

I had a great experience with LSATMax. My score ended up improving 16 points from my initial baseline. I didn't have a ton of time flexibility when I started, so it was very helpful to be able to do the course/study at my own pace. The office hours videos were great for more specific help on targeted areas. Abigail was my tutor, who I would highly recommend!

The tutors at TestMax were a godsend. They took me from a 159 to a 171 on my LSAT. I wouldn't have been able to get my score up without them. Both the test prep and the tutoring are worth taking the time for. I can't recommend the company enough.

Thanks LSATMax and Ravi. LSATMax has been incredibly helpful in my law school journey. I started with a diagnostic test score in the low 150's and raised it to the high 160's. The flexible program helped a lot with my logical reasoning and logic games, as they went from my worst sections to my strongest. I would also be remiss if I did not mention all the help I received from my tutor, Ravi.

He's an absolute pro with the LSAT and can readily break down even the most confusing question into its most basic form. His experience studying for the LSAT also gave him the ability to help me come up with a detailed study plan to help me break through the score ceiling I seemed to hit about halfway through my studies. Finally, his relaxed personality and patience made him really easy to work (eve when I struggled with sufficient and necessary early on). I definitely would not have been able to raise my score by 16 point without Ravi's help.
