A success story

I can't speak for the people below, but my experience with this book was nothing but good. My friends were all spending a couple thousand dollars on LSAT prep courses; I bought this book, followed the 5-week study guide, felt confident and prepared on the testing day, and ended up getting a perfect score-- 180. Yes, the practice tests are harder than the actual LSAT-- I scored between 165-175 on most-- but my opinion is that it's better to be pleasantly surprised with the actual LSAT than unprepared. The book does a great job of familiarizing you with the test (I knew nothing about it before this book) and even tells you things about LSAC like how to get a free actual past LSAT from them and other helpful information. The best thing it did for me was, with all its practice questions, help me identify what I needed to work on and give me a plan for fixing them. And, contrary to what another reviewer says, this book DOES NOT encourage you to bring outside knowledge to the questions-- answering within the context of the question only is one of the hardest things about the LSAT, and this book more than prepared me for it. If you need serious, intensive test prep and have a few hundred-thousand dollars you're willing to pay for it, take a course. Otherwise, this is one of the best books out there if you're willing to put the work in. I can't guarantee anything, but this book really did help me earn that 180.

Don't believe the critics....

All I can say about prior reviews is many folks get bitter from lack of their own abilities. I was low acheiving college student who needed to rock LSAT to get into any school in contiguous 48 states. Found Barron's the most helpful and tested out in mid 95 percentile. Wife (then GF) used it and got into law school where she had been rejected in prior LSAT administration. Her score went up 50% and we both got in and both graduated with honors.. I believe in barron's.. no money for endorsement, just belief in system. It made my making six figures possible...

GREAT

Barron's LSAT Review is a really good book with thorough expalnations of the sections in the LSAT. It's a step by step book that helps you prepare and organize yourself for the Law School Admissions Test. I strongly recommend it.
