Customer Reviews

The best preparation money can buy!

This book was my primary study guide for the October 2001 LSAT and it got me a 174! I had tried Kaplan and Princeton Review, but those books are terrible. They don't use real LSATs, so they're just not accurate for diagnosing strngths and weaknesses. The only thing this book doesn't provide is detailed explanations of why the answers are right and wrong. For that you will need a prep book. But one of those (I recommend NOVA's Master the LSAT) plus this book plus enough self-discipline to do the tests under accurate conditions will lead to a great score.

Practice is the best preparation for the LSAT

This book is 10 actual tests. It doesn't give any tips so you may want to buy another book for that. The best thing you can do for yourself is not just learning how to take the test, but taking many tests. If you take all of these timed, it will feel completely natural when you take the real test. When I took the LSAT the questions were familiar to me (not specific questions, but the types of questions). It helped a lot not to be surprised by anything on the test day and to know how much time I could spend on questions.

The real deal

No tips, no hints, just 10 actual tests. The hardest thing about the LSAT is not the questions, but the short amount of time you are given to solve them. By taking these 10 tests under simulated test conditions you can figure out strategies that work for you (as opposed those that work for 3 out of 5 Kaplan students). Where most books only include 3 or 4 tests this one gives you over twice that and the tests are authentic. The price is right and after taking all ten of these you will have no surprises come test day. My final score on the LSAT was right where I expected it to be thanks to this book.

Comments from an LSAT "master"

I used to work for one of the major test-prep companies (I won't mention names since I signed a contract not to reveal any of their "secrets"). The best way to prep for this test is _not_ to take as many tests as possible, but to do practice sets and understand your mistakes as thoroughly as possible. Only when you are ready should you take real tests -- and definitely take _real_ tests, not the made-up tests that come in other books. If you are serious about the LSAT, you _must_ buy this book because these are real tests.Once again, practice on the other (made-up) tests to master the strategies, and then when you're ready, take real tests sparingly (and always time yourself strictly -- the real LSAT people are very very tough) in order to check your improvement. And don't forget to do the essay!
