 Comparable to a Kaplan course October 5, 2008
This book showcases all the skills and tools needed in order to excel taking the LSAT. The book is easy to digest, and breaks the test down into a very interactive manner. I am pleased with the information I am obtaining and look forward to taking the test this December!
 too basic October 5, 2008
Kaplan/Princeton Review: I don't recommend wasting any time with either of these books. They are much too basic. If you want to study for a couple weeks and just get familiar with the test, then these are fine. However, you won't do your best if you rely simply on these general books.
In short, I recommend the following study method for the LSAT:
Introduction to the test: Look at the free stuff from LSAC
Logic Games: Read the book "Ace the LSAT Logic Games", by Get Prepped.
Logical Reasoning: read the book "LSAT Logical Reasoning Bible", by Power Score.
Notice that the conditional reasoning, formal logic, and parallel reasoning sections are probably the most helpful sections. However, these questions are by far the hardest on the logical reasoning section. I recommend saving them for last to make sure you get done in time, since they are the most time consuming. (Before I read these sections I incorrectly thought conditional and logical reasoning was far to easy to be worth studying, since I had an engineering background.)
Reading Comprehension: don't ready any books that tell you to highlight and underline stuff, you won't have time to finish the exam. Instead, read a bunch of novels to improve your reading skills if you were never much of a reader before. So ladies, read some romance novels, and guys well you know what to read.
Lastly, make sure to put down all study books the entire week before the test and simply do practice exams.
Better off with one of the other companies August 20, 2008
9 out of 13 found this review helpful
I used the kaplan book when I first started preparing for the lsat. It gave a lot of reasoning why answers were wrong, but it did not break down the questions and explain what the lsat question writers are looking for in answers. After taking a TPR (princeton review) class, I got in the 99% because I understood how they expected you to think when taking the lsat. TPR may or may not be the best, but kaplan is certainly the worst. After doing some research before signing up for a class, kaplan has the worst score improvements, and the lowest lsat scores for their instructors.
Also, the cdrom is a poor substitute for a paper version of the exam.
