Overall, LSAT max is a wonderful program that I would recommend to everyone. From taking prep courses with several other companies, I believe that LSAT max is in a league of its own. With the detailed video lessons, the amount of material you receive (which is guaranteed for life), and the diligence of the employees on getting back to students regarding questions, you can't beat it. Now studying for the past 6 months using LSAT max, I have no doubt that I will do well when the January exam comes around.

Great value for the price
For the price, BarMax can't be beat, and its quality is certainly good enough that you'll pass if you put in the time. I did Barbri in 2014 for my first state and switched to BarMax for my second state in 2018 (and passed both on the first try). BarBri's explanations of answers are sometimes more thorough, but having done both, I'd recommend BarMax because of the price.

Thank Y.
It is great; however, I need more
It is great. You guys teach the strategy for LSAT preparation.
However, there are some literal explanations missing at some actual question sections such that;
there is no literal explanation of question and its answer at sequencing game,
there is no literal explanation of true vs false at intro to logical reasoning,
how to lead answer from the specific questions......etc

Thanks for your kind words! In terms of explanations, every single logic game in our Sequencing Games lesson has a video explanation. You can access this by tapping the play icon in the top right hand corner of the screen when viewing the question in LSATMax.
In terms of True v. False, we discuss this idea at length in the Intro to LR video, but please remember you can always use our content support to ask for further clarification:

Most Mbe questions do not have wrong…
Most Mbe questions do not have wrong answer explanations and a few do not have any explanations and you have to check the message board for the explanation. And most of the time if you want explanation to the wrong answer you have to request it on the message board and the response is not instantaneous so it disrupts or hinders the learning process..
and the worst part about it is instead of supplying a wrong explanation (which ncbe who makes the exam who is a higher rank than the people at bar Max decided to make explanations to wrong answers for a reason) the people at bar Max tend to regurgitate the correct answer explanation to you and say hope this helps which is a complete insult to your face and to have the audacity to tell me that I should go look up the black letter law and go try to figure stuff out for myself and effectively take probably 3 or 4 hours on 1 mbe is an even bigger insult and I have told barmax over and over again please put your reasoning on your website so that everybody can see the genius in your thought process of not providing wrong explanations so that everybody will purchase your product without being taken advantage of by your complete and convenient omission to state your genius reasoning behind not providing wrong answer explanations. I'm so happy you replied to my review so that everybody can see just how insulting you guys are with your Genius thought process and that is why I had to change my review for my 3 star to 1 star.. And if you guys were there with me on exam day you'd be worthless but the lessons and the nuances that I learn from reading the wrong explanations if those were there with me on exam day that would be worth something.

Thanks for your feedback. Some of the information you have provided is incorrect. The NCBE only provides incorrect answer choice explanations for OPE 1-4 and all of these incorrect answer choice explanations are included in BarMax.
It is also important to point out that the most recently released set of questions, the MBE Study Aide, was actually released by the NCBE without any explanations, either correct or incorrect. You are more than welcome to confirm this for yourself by visiting the NCBE's website.
Now as to why we have not included incorrect answer choice explanations, we believe that the best way to improve on the MBE portion is to try to understand for yourself why the answer is correct/incorrect and the vast majority of the MBE questions can be explained by simply referring to the BarMax content outlines. While many students believe that reading pre-written explanations is helping them improve on the MBE portion, it is not. One process is passive, the other is active.
Struggling with the question and looking up the black letter law for yourself will allow you to take something away from these questions that you can apply to future questions. Remember, you will never see that MBE question again and we will not be with you on the day of the exam to explain which answer is correct or incorrect. This process will also help you commit the black-letter to memory far better than reading pre-written explanations.
For this reason, we highly recommend taking a moment to try to understand the question for yourself. Now that being said, there are definitely some MBE questions that are more difficult that you might not be able to understand by looking up the black letter law and you are more than welcome to post to our message boards asking for further clarification. While the response is not instant, we respond within 24-48 hours. You also have access to all previous discussion threads where you will find a ton of the incorrect answer choices being further clarified by our instructors.
This is undoubtedly the best way to improve on the MBE portion and the reason why we have decided against including pre-written explanations for all the incorrect questions.
Here is a blog post we wrote on this exact subject:

Now in terms of this process taking time, yes it will take more time, but with the BarMax schedule you are not being overwhelmed with a kitchen-sink approach of content so you have more time to practice applying the black letter law to real practice questions, both MBEs and essays. Our success, particularly with repeaters and foreign trained attorneys with no background in American jurisprudence, should give you the confidence that our approach is extremely effective:
