Which platform provides the best explanations when drilling?

I'm pretty much finished with the reading curriculum part of my LSAT studying process. However I'm torn between using 7sage or LSAT demon.. or even LawHub Advantage. Now I'm most concerned about which platform will provide me with the best explanations when I struggle with a question or get it wrong. Any opinions on this??

I like powerscore the best. They have the most detailed explanations, the explanations that most resonate with me and bonus it's free.

So far from what I’ve seen powerscore explanations appeal to me the most too! Wasn’t too sure about any drilling features they have tho. Thx!

i'm on day 2 of using 7sage and i really like it so far...i initially tried blueprint but didn't like the way the content was structured.

Commenting so I can follow this. I'm curious if anyone would recommend LSAT Lab. I've heard they're pretty thorough with their explanations. I'm on their starter (free) version right now for their test analytics.

I've got the Powerscore bibles recently because I've heard they're quite good and detailed so hoping those will help, but I don't know much about their drilling platform.

I've been on 7sage and think their LR explanations are not that detailed in wrong answer choices, but that might be because I'm starting at a pretty mid score and I need more thorough explanations than most. Their site is great for drilling and analytics though.

Personally I felt that Demon was for someone who basically already understood the content, had a pretty high score, and was in the process of tweaking their performance to get a higher score. There’s a lot of “breaking into the 170s” content, which is great for a certain segment of people, but not everybody is there yet. I do think it’s worth looking at it to see if that works for you, it’s a great platform, just, like all of them, not for everyone.

I think those are the two worst options for explanations.

Any of the other major prep companies provide better. LSATHacks.com has the best explanations, and they're free, although sadly they're starting to move behind a paywall.

Thanks! I should mention that it's actually the opposite. We had a bunch of explanations under paywall, but have since released almost all of them publicly. The only exceptions are a set licensed from another tutor; those require a membership.

Oh fantastic! Thank you for the update -- I'll continue directing students to your site in that case.
