This is the worst LSAT prep book I have seen

This book is of incredibly low quality. Do not buy it.

My biggest complaints:

For starters, the strategies outlined for the various question types are lacking in substance and, especially for the logic games, are absurdly time-consuming. You could spend the entire 35 minutes re-creating just one of the charts or diagrams that they claim you should use for the logic games. You would be better off just guessing than following their methods.

The practice tests at the end of the book are laughable. The questions are full of spelling and grammatical errors and many questions have NO correct answer, in many cases as a direct result of these errors. Many of the questions are confusing and are of obviously lower quality than those on the two actual LSAT tests that are also included in the book. The explainations offered are also laughable - one sentence "explaining" which is the correct answer and no information about why the other answers are incorrect.

(see Practice test 3, section 1, question 12 for a good example - there is NO correct answer and they do not explain how they managed to choose one over the others).

Trying these practice tests will drive you crazy and you won't gain any skills to help you with the actual test. This book was not properly thought out and it appears not to have been edited at all.

Again, do not buy this book.

Product Description

The LSAT is an exam which is full of patterns. Because of this, using previously-administered LSATs is indisputably the most effective way to prepare for the test. Logical reasoning questions, especially those with argumentive stimuli, exhibit recurring structures and patterns of reasoning. In order to maximize your potential on this section, it is important that you learn to recognize these patterns and exploit them to the fullest extent. In this volume, Cambridge LSAT groups the 1,012 logical reasoning questions from PrepTests 21-40 by type, and presents each particular grouping in order of increasing difficulty. Thus, as your technique improves in any one category, you will face more challenging questions.

Completely Unnecessary!

As a professional LSAT tutor/blogger in NYC, I can say that there is absolutely, positively, NO NEED to get a book like this. The Writing Sample is incredibly simple and straightforward. All you need is 5 minutes to look over a past writing sample to understand what they're looking for on this. Don't forget that the writing sample isn't even scored! Most law schools don't care about it. Focus your time and money on the Logic Games and Logical Reasoning instead.

The ESSENTIAL guide to law school

I am currently a second year law student and this is a great guide and ironically enough, I found the section on note taking to be the most helpful. I've read guides for law school (mostly before I started) and this one certainly stands out as being the easiest to read and probably the most helpful.

One of the things I liked about this book was the section on note taking. It was exactly how I felt AFTER the first year--I had the same problem as most students because I was constantly taking notes. I had over 150 pages for each class. I realized too late, however, that notes are pretty much useless and just a cumbersome waste of time. This is the only book about law school that makes this point.

Everything else in the book is extremely beneficial and I would certainly recommend to anyone starting law school, or even in the middle of law school!

Very helpful! Worth the expense.

If you're just beginning to prep for the LSATs, this is a great book to start with. No doubt, you will be using several prep books to study for the LSATs. This book compliments other LSAT prep guides. It was insightful re: logic games and reading comprehension. Plus, the book includes 6 exams with explanations for each answer. The exams were extremely helpful.
Definitely recommend this book in conjunction with other LSAT prep books (i.e. Nova's Master the LSAT, Peterson's Logic and Reading Review, and the Kaplan series). I initially started out apprehensive about the logic skills section(s) of the LSAT; now, I have much more confidence. The CD in this book is extremely helpful. The paced reading exercise on the CD helped me with reading in a more efficient manner. We take the practice test(s) for the LSATs on our own time; it is a lot different when you are under a time constraint during the actual test. The CD was helpful with preparation for this time constraint. There are also practice tests w/ explanations on the CD, as well.

Excellent Choice

This book does much to unravel the mystery surrounding the LSAT (Law school admission test). Other books I purchased for my upcoming LSAT examination offered little or no detailed information on answers. This book used amazing yet understandable logic and demonstrated a keen knowledge of the average pre-law student's mentality. If you must buy one book for your LSAT, this is it!

nothing like the real thing

This book gives you several real tests and the corect instructions on how to simulate the real enviroment. You can either prepare for the test in two different ways. One is to take a prep class and that will cost you a ton of money. Or two, you could buy the books and teach yourself. This book gives you several previously given test, with answers and explinations at the end of each one. ITS WORTH IT.

Helpful but you can't use it on the LSAT

This has been helpful for pacing, but I've just learned, and this is a quote directly from LSAC, "The only timing devices allowed at LSAT test centers are analog wristwatches."

It seems best to practice with the actual timer you use during the test, so I wouldn't recommend buying this. I'm just glad I learned this now so that I don't show up to the test center without an "acceptable" timing device.
