Unfortunately, LSAC has made everyone require a license who uses their materials. This includes the prep companies who previously used LSAC materials without requiring the members to have a license. Not sure if the prep companies had some kind of arrangement with LSAC before, but now its a blanket rule where anyone who uses LSAC materials is required to pay the $100.
The good thing about this is that you will have access to all the PTs ever made and can get familiar with the PTHub interface (where you would do the actual LSAT, if Flex). Also, pricing seems to be a lot lower now compared to before. Before, prep companies would sell you on the amount of PTs/Questions unlocked based on the tier you paid. I.e. 7sage had a starter, premium, ultimate, and ultimate+ packages with each tier giving the user more access to questions/practice tests. You could have been paying anywhere from about $100 to $800, depending on the package you picked. Now the pricing seems more fair across all prep companies because LSAC requires the licensing giving users access to all the materials.
So suck it up and pay the fee
This thing for me is that I already finished the majority of my studies, I am taking next month's exam and that's it for me I just wanted a little extra boost and to be able to take practice LSAT flex. Do you think it's worth it for just a month?
I think its worth it unless you want to buy physical PT books
@coralp17 its worth it, as you can actually test on the platform you will be doing your LSAT on - PTHUB. When I first tried a test on PTHUB, it was totally different than 7Sage's PT interface. So it'd be like ~$150 for you to try all the newer PTs and get w.e. you need on 7sage's Core Curriculum to supplement your studies.
One way to bypass paying the additional $100 is to apply and be approved for a fee waiver through LSAC. They will include the LSAT Prep Plus along with your fee waiver.
Thank you everyone
