FAQs for Pre-Law Students
Please see the information below specifically relevant to pre-law students utilizing the Kaplan All Access Program.
Are there any costs associated with the Kaplan All Access offer?
No. The Kaplan All Access offer is completely free to currently enrolled Illinois students. It also includes free access to LSAC’s Law Hub Advantage, which normally has a fee of $120 a year plus tax.
When should I enroll in an LSAT course?
You will want to enroll in an LSAT course approximately 4-6 months prior to sitting for your first exam. Once you sign up for the Kaplan All Access program, you may use the on-demand resources or sign up for a live course that fits with your LSAT timeline. On average, applicants spend anywhere from 4-6 months preparing for their first LSAT attempt. Currently starting course dates are available through early Fall 2025.
You should NOT register for a course if you do not anticipate taking an LSAT within the next year.
How do I access Law Hub Advantage (LSAC) for free as part of registering for the Kaplan All Access Program?
You will need to access LSAC’s Law Hub Advantage with your Kaplan LSAT prep course. You will receive FREE access to Law Hub Advantage ($120 value) with your Kaplan All Access resources. Below are important steps for linking these accounts. If you have an existing Law Hub account, please note special instructions in Step 4.
Step One: Create your account for the Kaplan All Access program.
Step Two: You will receive two emails. Use the welcome email from LSAC first. Click on the Get Started button and move to the next step.
Step Three: You will be prompted to sign in. If you do not have a login for Law Hub yet, click on the Sign Up Now button at the bottom of the page. You can see a red arrow pointing to it on the screenshot.
Step Four: Create your login via this page. Note: Your email must be the same one you used to enroll in the Kaplan All Access program. If you already have a LawHub account with a different email, consider creating a new account with the same email you are using for Kaplan.
Step Five: This will prompt another page that notifies you of an email to be sent to you with a verification code. Enter your username and the verification code. You will then be prompted to sign in with the email and password that you created.
Step Six: Once you are signed in, find the second email from LSAC that has the button Link to Coach. Click on this, and follow any prompts to sign into your LSAC account from here.
Step Seven: As soon as you are signed in, you will receive this notification from LSAC that your accounts are linked.
That’s it!
How long do I have access to the Kaplan All Access resources?
Illinois students will have access to the Kaplan resources for one year after enrollment. You may also request a three-month (90-day) extension of your one-year access.
Do I lose access when I graduate?
No. Illinois students will have access to the Kaplan resources for one year after enrolling. If you graduate after enrollment, you will not lose access to your resources during that one-year period. You must be a currently enrolled Illinois student to register for the Kaplan All Access program so if you anticipate studying for the LSAT in the year following graduation, be sure to sign-up prior to graduating.
Can University of Illinois alumni access this offer?
No. This offer is only available for students who are currently enrolled at the University of Illinois. It is not available to alumni. If you are an alum who enrolled in the program prior to graduation, you will continue to have accesses for one year following your enrollment date.
I previously purchased a Kaplan course. Can I get a refund?
Students who purchased an eligible Kaplan course between August 1, 2024, and the date their school’s partnership with Kaplan launched may qualify for a refund. The date that Illinois entered into partnership with Kaplan is March 7, 2025. If you meet these criteria, we encourage you to complete the refund request form.
I am currently a student, but I am planning on taking a gap year. When should I enroll in the Kaplan All Access program?
You will need to sign up for Kaplan All Access before you graduate. Make a timeline that includes when you will graduate, when you plan to prepare for and sit for the LSAT, and when you plan to apply to law school. Keep in mind that you will have access to Kaplan All Access for one year from when your course begins. Use your timeline to help you pick the best time before graduation to register to maximize your use of the resources.
What other LSAT preparation resources exist for University of Illinois prelaw students?
The Pre-Law Advising Services office offers the following resources: 1) Annual LSAT Jumpstart Mini-Camp which includes multiple workshops, 2) LSAT study groups (Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall), 3) 1:1 advising to help you create a study strategy and schedule and find the best resources for you, and (4) online resources available through the Canvas page.
You can find free LSAT prep through LSAC’s Law Hub portal.
Can I also enroll in a GRE or other test preparation course?
To maximize your results, you should focus on one test at a time, and one prep course at a time. With that said, you can register for another course if you take the LSAT more than once, or if you would later decide to pursue a different exam (i.e. GRE).
If you are considering between the GRE and LSAT for your law school application, please set-up an appointment with the Pre-Law Advising Office to discuss!
