Introduction

Kaplan is one of the most recognizable names in test prep, and for good reason. Their LSAT curriculum has evolved to focus heavily on live interaction, distinguishing it from the sea of self-paced apps. If you are the type of student who needs a schedule, a real human instructor, and the ability to ask questions in real-time, Kaplan is likely your best bet.

Their standout feature is the LSAT Channel, which functions like a TV guide for LSAT prep-offering live, interactive episodes on specific topics almost every day.

Cons

Features Breakdown

The LSAT Channel

This is Kaplan’s “killer app.” While most courses give you a set of static videos, Kaplan provides access to a schedule of live, interactive workshops. You can filter these by difficulty and topic. Struggling with Logical Reasoning Flaws? Tune into a “Flaw Questions Advanced” episode. It adds a level of dynamism that static courses lack.

The QBank

Kaplan’s QBank is massive, utilizing the full library of released LSAT questions (over 8,000). The interface allows you to build custom quizzes based on difficulty, question type, and timing.

Student Experience

Kaplan’s platform is polished and professional. The dashboard is intuitive, guiding you through a “Study Plan” that adapts to your test date. The video lessons are high production value, often featuring instructors in a studio setting rather than just a voiceover on a slide.

Verdict: Is Kaplan Worth It?

Kaplan is a premium product with a premium price tag. If you are looking for the cheapest way to prep, this isn’t it (check out 7Sage). However, if you want the security of a big brand, the structure of live classes, and the depth of the LSAT Channel, Kaplan is an excellent investment in your legal career.
