Rating:  Summary: As Useful As An LSAT Book Can Be Review: This book provides a thorough overview plus goes into detail on each LSAT section. Its explanations of logic principles & background thinking on all types of LSAT questions are really helpful. The drill and sample questions for each principle add a practical understanding. There are several long-winded or simply unclear explanations on certain questions. However, they manage to get you thinking & trying to find a better explanation yourself. The more you get into the LSAT logic, the more you appreciate the book, while developing your ability to think logically under pressure. The book also offers LSAT practice sections after each chapter. Combining this book's learnings with LSAC prep tests (I got the 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests) gives you maximum preparation & just enough confidence to succeed.
Rating:  Summary: No Better Preparation Than This Review: This book was especially helpful with mastering the analytical reasoning games, and it also is excellent for the logical reasoning sections. I didn't get as much out of the part about the reading section, but this book still had some good tips. I found that studying this book not only helped me prepare for the LSAT, but it also helped me understand the ins and outs of logic and argumentation. If you want to get ready for the LSAT, study this book from cover to cover, then go buy a pile of practice tests and have at it.
Rating:  Summary: Amazing Results! Review: This book was invaluable in setting up a good study program to tackle the LSAT because it provided step by step analysis of each LSAT section and taught me how to tackle questions logically. I followed the authors' advice, studied hard and learned how to master the difficult logic games section. The book's analysis of the logic sections and clear explanations of answers in the practice sections were excellent. Since I had been out of school for many years, I needed all the help I could get. Today, I received the LSAT results from the 12 June test; the score surpassed my expectations. Buy this book, pay attention to the advice and study, study, study. You won't be disappointed!
Rating:  Summary: A must-have for your LSAT prep Review: This book contains short-cuts in analyzing logic questions and game questions so that you're not bogged down and worn out by all the details. You sometimes even get a kick for answering a question right with the minimum of effort and sometimes wonder how easy it was. This book cuts down on the time you need to answer a question by putting the fact pattern into a diagram, helping you not to reread and reread the facts every time you answer a different question. There are also drills and explanations on how to apply the technique to various situations.
Rating:  Summary: I've read nearly all of them. This one is truly the best. Review: I took the Kaplan course, and I read "Cracking the LSAT" from Princeton Review, and I sincerely believe that this book is the best preparation tool money can buy. They REALLY get in-depth on Logic Games, and help show how the test-makers try to trick you on Logical Reasoning. Also, unlike other books, this one uses questions from previous tests. I scored in the 99th %-tile, and while there is no substitute for practice with several previous exams, I give large credit to this book for my success.
Rating:  Summary: Finest LSAT book available Review: Master The LSAT has been very helpful to our students. It's by far the best in field. --David King--Associate Dean, Quinnipiac College School of Law, Hamden, CT
Rating:  Summary: Best LSAT prep book ever! Review: We've been around the block with more than a few books over the years we have been offering a prep course. Students in our course find "Master" to be an enormous help in their search for an understanding of the dynamics of the test. Our instructors praise the book's ability to provide the appropriate explanation to a point of logic or analytical reasoning that confounds the novices. Repeating: Best LSAT preparation book ever. --Charles Fleener--Director, Pre Law Program, St. Louis University.
Rating:  Summary: The Most Comprehensive LSAT Book Now Comes With Software Review: * In Mentor Mode, you are immediately told whether you answered an LSAT problem correctly, and you can immediately view a detailed solution of the problem.* In Test Mode, you can take an official LSAT test timed and scored by the program.
Rating:  Summary: Best LSAT prep book on the market. Review: This book is a rigourous approach to the LSAT. I have referred it to a number of individuals who had not scored well on the test after taking expensive courses. 90% experienced solid improvements in their scores. This is a much more sophisticated approach to the LSAT than is usually offered by prep courses or books. I would only suggest it to a serious, disciplined studier. George P. Braxton II, Esq. Asst. Dean for Admissions The Catholic Univ. of America, Columbus School of Law
Rating:  Summary: Helped me get a great LAST Score (164) Review: After reading the reviews for LSAT prep guides on Amazon I decided to this one. I used it as my ONLY study guide; however, I did make sure to go through the book thoroughly. I did all the exercises in every section and this left me very well prepared for the exam. The book did a great job of pointing out some of the common mistakes that LSAT takers make as well as giving you tips and tricks for every section on the LSAT. I've read that other books do a better job preparing you for the Games section but I found this book easy to follow and in depth in that respect. All of the game types are covered. Let me issue this warning to potential LSAT takers...ignore game types at your own risk, they are all subtley different with their own intricacies. I skipped one of the game types in the book and guess what showed up on the LSAT! Good Luck!
