With the goal of bringing more equity of opportunity to law school applicants, in June 2018, LSAC partnered with Khan Academy to bring to students LSAT prep online free of any fees. I’d recommend my guides, but there are other options out there too.According to the law school admissions council (LSAC), the number of students being administered the LSAT has grown rapidly over the course of the last 5 years (~40%). So, my recommendation is to use Khan for your free practice questions and practice tests, but, if you want to get a 170+ score, you probably need something else, too. Overall, while Reddit likes Khan Academy as a start, they think it’s lacking for that extra score boost to take you a 170+ score.
Users u/kindelllrenee and u/lemonlime71 both feel like it was a good start, but it lacked the strategies necessary to take them to a 175 (hence why I made my books!).From my perspective, that’s not a big deal, as that only matters if you were planning on plowing through a bunch of timed practice tests (which I do NOT recommend). User u/Cromus is annoyed that Khan uses prep tests from the 50s onwards as their practice sections, saying that he feels those were spoiled for him.Hit up the link if you want some more info. It covers the missing strategies I teach my own tutoring clients that Khan Academy doesn’t cover. That’s actually why I created my own LSAT strategy guides, the LSAT Process series. So, while the explanations are correct, they’re not always the most helpful to people who are lost. They’re not bad, but they’re not written by people with a deep knowledge of the LSAT or a lot of experience getting people to score highly on the LSAT.
My main problem with Khan LSAT are the strategies to solve the questions. I also love the way they divide up official questions into categories and sort them by difficulty, as that’s a really nice way to get more practice on specific issues. They’re the only source of free, official questions, answers, and explanations. As an LSAT tutor, I’m a big fan of Khan Academy LSAT.
