PrepLion vs. prep books

The prep book — but adaptive, current, and free.

Prep books like PrepPros are good at one thing: teaching every topic, one at a time. But they're static — everyone grinds the same topics in the same order, even the ones they already know. PrepLion keeps the topic-by-topic mastery, then points you at exactly the topics you need.

Best of both: use the book's idea, free

A book's real value is ranked topic mastery and clear explanations. We give you that free — the most-tested topics ranked by frequency, each with a method — then the diagnostic tells you which ones to start with so you don't waste time on what you've already got.
