Book Reviews of 10 More Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests (Lsat Series) (Lsat Series)
Book Review: Excellent Choice
Summary: 5 Stars
Get this book only if you are serious about pursing a career in Law. It is a great book to help you prepare for the LSAT. Very InformativeBook Review: Practice Makes Perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is exactly what it says it is, 10 official LSATs. As of 01/03/2007 it is the newest compilation of LSATs (you can purchase newer ones individual but for the steep cost of $8 a test). Good for practice test and timing yourself. Only drawback is that the distribution for some of the earlier tests isn't current/accurate, so when you get to the later tests you have to miss less questions to get the same score. But I'd definitely recommend this book as a supplement to the introductory LSAT books, so after you know what to expect, practice with this bookBook Review: Not representative of the current test
Summary: 5 Stars
First, if you are planning on taking the LSAT, you need to have this book. You need to have any LSAT test ever published, and you need to go over every question carefully to understand why the correct answer is correct, and why the incorrect answer is incorrect. From this you can find patterns of how you take the test and how you can improve your methods. You should do this regardless of how you are preparing for the test, though most courses *should* help you do this.
Be warned, however, that the tests in this book are from an older format. Tests 39-52 (52 is given in Feb 07) were changed so that the Analytical Reasoning (AR) games were easier, and the Reading Comprehension (RC) and Logical Reasoning sections became more difficult. My score on these older tests ranged from 6-10 points higher than my score on the newer tests because I am good at the AR section. So don't expect the score on these exams to accurately reflect your score on a recent test. Don't let that stop you from taking these tests. You need all the practice you can get, and if you're not as good at the AR games, practicing on the tougher old ones will definitely help you for the exam.
Starting with test 53 (June 07) they will be changing the fomrat of the RC section so that one of the four readings is a compare and contrast excercise between two shorter readings. How this will affect the score curve and the difficulty of the other sections is unclear. See the LSAC website for more details.
Good luck!
Book Review: Best way to prepare.
Summary: 4 Stars
The best way to prepare for the LSAT is to take practice tests to familiarize yourself with the form and types of questions you'll see on the actual test. This book consists of 10 tests actual previous administed tests, complete with everything but the ungraded experimental section you'll see on the real LSAT, answer sheets, and information for scoring yourself. I found this book and the most recent version essential to my test prep.Book Review: Just the basics.
Summary: 4 Stars
This helps prepare you but doesn't give tips or anything. I'd buy these types of books in combination with others designed to explain how the LSAT questions are asked, etc. Powerscore is the best by far in that area.
