LSAT For Dummies

Rating:
Summary: super testing prep!
Review: I have been out of school for a number of years, and have only recently decided to pursue a law degree. Since I'm kind of just feeling around this law thing, I have sampled a number of lsat prep books and found this one particularly useful. I thought it "reached" me at least, and can recommend it to many other prospective law students. Someone else bought it for me, but I'd say it's definitely worth the money.

Summary: Am I reading the same book?
Review: I have to differ with the earlier reviewers. I found LSAT for Dummies to be very, very helpful. It gives solid common-sense advice, and explanations for the sample questions are very clear and easy to follow. The sample questions turned out to be very similar to the ones on the actual test, so there were no surprises there. Yes, there are a couple of misprints, which I hope the Dummies will fix before printing more books (one star off for those).

Summary: Not worth the money
Review: Please do not make the same mistake I did -- this book was awful. It had a lot of misinformation and actually had wrong answers in the testing section explanations! It was very confusing, to say the least. Do yourself a favor and purchase the print version of Master the LSAT by Jeff Kolby and Scott Thornburg -- it provides useful guidance and a lot of help with the games section.

Summary: Bad, bad, bad
Review: This book IS a waste of money...I suggest going to the Grammatix.com website for REAL help.

Summary: AWFUL- don't waste your money!
Review: This book is so awful, please don't waste your money as I did!! It has WRONG answers in it. For example, on page 86...she gives the answer to number 17 in the logic games and the explanation for it. The rule says: "The plays will be performed on six consecutive days, beginning on Tuesday." Which means that Monday there will be NO plays--hello! The author says Monday such and such will be shown, etc. Really bad writing. Spend your money on the KAPLAN book. This one doesn't even teach you about the contra-positive rule. PLEASE look elsewhere!!
