THE BEST LSAT REVIEW BOOK!!!

This is by far the best LSAT Preparation book! I found it not only extremely helpful, but also motivating. I found myself gain confidence by going over all of the material in the book and found the material to be similar to what you encounter on the actual test. The preview test, practice sets, exercises and the full-length practice sets were excellent along with the detailed strategies for each section. You see yourself doing better with more practice. The logical reasoning sections in the book are broken down well by topics allowing you to work separately on main question types. You are able to identify the questions and get through the section faster. The reading comprehension section of the book teaches you how to pace yourself, as well as, encourages you on how to read the passages so that on the day of the test your are able to finish all four passages along with the questions. As for the analytical reasoning section of the book, it is divided into three areas giving you strategies on how to tackle the different types of problems. I found the analytical reasoning section to be very clear and concise, and in fact it is the section I scored the highest in on the LSAT. The CD also was helpful with various tips. I would highly encourage anyone preparing for the LSAT to use this book for review as it is an excellent guide to getting a higher score.

a student from SoCAL

I took the LSAT some time ago and finished one semester of law school, then dropped out due to family reasons. Two kids and three jobs later I wanted to try law school again but I had to retake the LSAT. (Schools would not accept my old score which I found a little short-sighted.) I found this book on line and it seemed to fit my needs. I dutifully sat for the four-week course. It helped a ton, especially in the Analytical Reasoning section which had me absolutely fooled. The style, thorough coverage, and classroom humor of the teacher was very appealing. I also bought the four latest LSATs available and took them, timing myself. The materials in the book book were just like the past exams which gave me confidence going into the June exam. My score was in the upper 20% (better than last time). I strongly recommend this study plan if you are pinched for time and want a solid review. L. Herrington

Sleek, no-nonsense LSAT success in one book

I am a returning student with children and a part time job. I could not afford the time and money for a LSAT review course. Having been out of the classroom for many years, I had lost my testing edge and the LSAT, after all, is quite intimidating. Finally, I found a great solution: The LSAT Advantage with Professor Dave. His style and approach to the test sections are quite inviting and unique compared to other courses I looked at. He simplifies each of the three exam parts with short insightful lectures, examples and exercises in such a clean, clear way that I came away with a distinctive mastery of the material: my timing improved, my scores increased, and my confidence grew significantly. The LSAT Advantage is more than a book --it's a simulated LSAT course. I heartily recommend this learning experience if you are intimidated in any way by the LSAT exam .

The only prep book you really need!

This is by far the best prep book I have worked with. In fact, had I discovered it earlier, I could have saved myself hundreds of dollars from buying useless prep books and taking a prep course. I highly recommend this book to all potential LSAT test takers. Add this book w/some LSAT Prep Tests and you're set to go. Thank you Professor Dave for such a well written and easily understood explanation of all sections of the LSAT! Your students on the west coast are mighty lucky!!

Extremely Helpful

The LSAT Advantage includes extremely beneficial materials (including full-length practice exams and clear explanations), as well as entertaining quotes and illustrations that make the process of preparing for the LSAT as painless as possible. I'm confident that the materials included in this book were pivitol to helping me score in the 95th percentile on the exam.
