Kaplan LSAT 2004

Rating:
Summary: Waste of Money
Review: This book is a waste of money. Nothing in it is useful except maybe the introduction to the question types. I suggest that you get the Powerscore Logic Games Bible, Logic Reasoning Bible (Mid August 2004 I believe), and the next 10 actual LSATs, or 10 more actual official Lsats. Read the bibles and take practice tests over and over again. Good Luck.

Summary: Not worth it...
Review: This book is only good for those who really have no idea what the LSAT is. There are only a few pages on each section... and they are not all that helpful, they just tell you what kind of questions to expect... not HOW to do well on them. There are some "steps" to approaching each type of question, but I think those will end up slowing you down rather than helping you. I took an (actual) practice test totally blind before I read the book... and took another practice test out of the book... and scored only one point higher. I am relieved to hear that others believe the questions from the Kaplan book are bizarre, because I did okay on the logic game section on the actual practice LSAT (which I took without any preparation) and then, after reading the Kaplan book, totally BOMBED the logic games section in the Kaplan's practice test. Those questions WERE bizarre!
Most of the book is practice tests, which, I have just learned from these other reviews, are not actually from past actual tests. Bad investment!

Summary: Better score
Review: This book takes you step by step into the LSAT by breaking each section down, and listing the common mistakes that are made. However, the best thing about this study guide is that it does not throw in any unecessary jargon to explain already difficult sections.
