LSAT good investment

Well worth the money. Prep for the test is critical. They aren't making it easier. Highly suggest anyone trying to pass get this book or one like it - or plan on retaking!

Yay!!!!!!!!

I already had kaplans LSAT guide but i also heard that princeton review was good from my professor. I take the test in December, so I have faith that this book will help me. So far it looks very informative, especially with the disk in the back.

Very Helpful

This is pretty standard if you're taking the test. The strategies that it lays out are clear and extremely helpful. If you buy one book for the test this should be it.

Hands on Practical Advice

I bought Princeton, Kaplan, and Barron's, and Princeton seems to be the best so far. Princeton gives the best detailed explainations of the logical reasoning and games. They go through each question type and analyze how to answer it. They also give you several types of games and show you how to diagram them out and reason through them. Kaplan in their Logical Reasoning section just says "these are the types of questions you will encounter" they don't give you questions with answers that you have to pick from, and then explain the reason why one is right or wrong (they do do this on the practice section). They also don't do this in the games section. I found Kaplan to be much more theoretical and Princeton much more practical. However, on the upside, Kaplan's 2008 book contains three Real LSATs where as Princeton has only made-up tests. Also, Kaplan's 2008 contains the revisions to the reading section and writing prompt. Your best bet is to buy both books for comparison so you get a well-rounded experience. I have tutored the SAT, and have taken the GRE twice, and my experience has shown that Kaplan, Princeton, and Barrons (the best for GRE and SAT jury's out on LSAT) all have something to offer, but each are missing something too, so to get the most out of your preparation, it is best to get all three books so you will get a well rounded experience.
