Handy Basic Introduction to the LSAT

This book is a good place to start with preparing for the LSAT; well written, filled with practical & useful advice/material, it is also reasonably priced and not an oversized-waste of paper. Moreover, it is an excellent, inexpensive means of determining whether or not one's aspirations for taking the test and trying to get into law school is worth the time, effort, and trauma. If one indeed wishes to continue, my recommendation is to rely on official LSAT test-prep materials.

Good for intended purposes

Obviously this should not be your only or primary source of LSAT prep if you're serious about getting a high score on the test. You should be studying with actual tests from the LSAC, powerscore, taking a prep course, etc. That said, this book provides good practice and useful advice in a very affordable and compact book, albeit with some poorly written questions that were overall, of a lower standard than what I've encountered in official LSAT tests. My rating therefore isn't based on a pure assessment of its test preparation credibility, as I would the Powerscore Logic Games Bible, but how I used it. LSAT prep is all about constant practice and reinforcing your brain to work a certain way. For the times when you're on the bus, have free time between classes, on a plane, waiting around with nothing to do...it's great to have this compact book around. It offers hundreds of practice problems to strengthen your skills and memory with certain strategies and problem types, which remain relevant even if the quality of these questions are sometimes substandard. No complaints. Just be sure to supplement your studies with more rigorous and complete books/tests/courses.

Execellent study tips

Pass Key to the LSAT provides excellent basic study tips and guidelines for the LSAT. This book is highly recommended for its information, affordability, and user-friendly layout.

Great Deal

This book is much cheaper than any of the others out there. It is also smaller and lighter, making that much easier to carry around. There are three tests with answers explained. I would recommend getting 10 Actual LSAT Tests first, but if you really want more practice, or to use this as a warm up to 10 Actual LSAT Tests or something like that, then this is a a fantastic bargin. The tests are slightly easier, in my oppinion, than 10 Actual LSAT Tests, so just keep that in mind.

A good prep book

This book is great. I've taken a lot of these standardized tests, and I've found that for a test like the LSAT, the best preparation is to know the format of the test well, to practice each section (timed and untimed), and to finish with taking a few full length practice tests. There is no need to buy a big ... book for the LSAT. There's no need to take a course. Simplicity is the key and this book is all you need. It's a ... good little book.
