Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Explanations are Very Basic!
Review: I had to reconsider my review after evaluating the explanations on the games section. On this section, the explanations are not as helpful because there are no illustrated diagrams. Instead, there are short mini-paragraphs that require a bit more effort and time reading into.

On the other sections however, there are explanations for every question. A downside though is that you have to flip back at the beginning of the book for the question -- the explanations do not restate the question at all. Also, the explanations are pretty basic; you get very few special insights or "insider" strategies.

Overall, the book was more like a regular LSAT Testprep. If you require explanations, perhaps you should try Nova's "Master the LSAT" where you also get plenty of strategies.

At the cover price, this book is not worth it. I recommend getting Nova's "Master the LSAT" and/or "10 Actual, Official LSATs" instead of this book.

** Please note, the TriplePrep Plus does not contain explanations at all. Currently, this is the only book by the LSAT makers that contains explanations for one WHOLE test. Unfortunately, the explanations here do not compensate for the extra cost above a regular LSAT Testprep.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Okay, But Don't Bother
Review: The test is somewhat recent (1997) but the explanations tell you little beyond the obvious. As such, this publication will likely assist you little in improving your score.

Instead, purchase '10 More, Actual Official LSATs' which contains PrepTests 19-28. Plus get your hands on some of the more recent PrepTests (40 and above) as well. In particular, get copies of PrepTests 31 and 35, both of which included some rather difficult questions.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Explanations are Very Basic!
Review: 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.
