First, I'd just like to say that I believe 60+ exams for $99/year in the Digital LSAT format is an incredible value, and I applaud everyone at LSAC for putting together a prep option that is so accessible and affordable.
I've brainstormed a few potential options to make LawHub even more accessible and affordable in case you might find it helpful.
Shorter Duration
Many students don't anticipate studying for the LSAT for an entire year. While $99/year for access to 60+ PrepTests is a much better value than getting the retail books separately, many students might feel that they're overpaying for a longer duration than they need.
I've included some ideas to address this below.
You might include monthly, quarterly, and semiannual options so that students could pay based on their anticipated timeline (I'll just place an X, rather than including specific numbers):
$X / month
$X / quarter
$X / 6 months
Fewer Exams
Again, 60+ exams for $99/year is an incredible value, but students may feel they're overpaying when they only plan to do 10, 20, or 30, etc.
Some ideas:
$X / year for 30 exams
$X / year for 20 exams
$X / year for 10 exams
These subscriptions could simply grant access to the newest exams, or you might allow the student to choose.
There may be ways to customize menus of options so students can choose the exact number of exams along with duration, but that might overcomplicate things.
Instead, it may be better to keep it simple and focus solely on the duration of access or # of exams, at least in the short term.

LSAC Fee Waiver Recipient Access
Given the fact that the duration of LSAC fee waivers is two years, it would be great if fee waiver recipients received two years of access to LawHub - not just one, automatically upon being granted the waiver.
I could see them being upset about having their access cut off while they're still studying, especially if they've demonstrated financial need.
I've also noticed a great deal of student confusion around delays in being granted LawHub access, as well as some purchasing access when they actually could have gotten it for free because they had the fee waiver.
So many students struggle with all the fees involved in the admission process already, along with investing the time in LSAT preparation. It would be a nice gesture if their LawHub fees were fully "comped."
