Summary: A Must Read
Review: For anyone looking to improve their score, greatly, on the LSAT, this book is a must read. My score went up at least ten points by following their advice. The advice to skip hard questions is extremely helpful because if you focus to much on those you run out of time and have to rush through the rest. the LSAT does not require that you answer the questions in each section in order. Their most helpful piece of advice, read the question first? his book was a lifesaver for me. Highly recommended.

Summary: Not at all helpful
Review: I bought this book with the idea that it would improve my performance on the LSAT. I have to say that the structure of the book is really poor. It tells you to skip test questions, which does not seem to be a very intelligent concept. It also tells you to guess on anything and everything you get stuck on, because you can come back to it. I think that this is bad advice. The whole idea of taking the LSAT is to test what you know, not a guessing game. I will stick to practicing on the "real" tests like the "10 More Actual, Official LSAT Preptests" provided by LSAC. This book is boring and lacks helpful information, unless you think guessing is fun. And if so, go ahead brainiac, waste your hard earned dollar.

Summary: Complete with CD-ROMs that will make you cry
Review: The "Cracking the LSAT" book itself is actually pretty good, containing all the general standardized test info one might expect (lots of strategies designed primarily for people who have no business taking the LSAT). From both the book and other sources, the best way to practice for the LSAT is to take LSAT practice tests. My advice would be to order them directly from the LSAC.org and don't waste your money with a practice book.
My real qualm is with the accompanying CD-ROM which allows you take 4 practice tests. I thought taking electronic tests would be quicker and easier, encouraging me to do it more. Unfortunately, the CD-ROM program is full of bugs, the worst of which being that after having completed a practice test, if the program has difficulties connecting to the online network, then all of your responses will be lost. As a result, you don't know how well you did, nor can you go back through and review the questions you missed. If you want electronic tests, buy an LSAT review from someone else.
