To prepare properly for the LSAT, you must study problems that reflect
the true LSAT format. The best way to do that is to study actual LSAT
tests. Now, you can do that with this book! MASTER THE LSAT contains
detailed solutions to numerous actual LSAT questions, carefully selected to
illustrate every type of question that has appeared on the test in the past
several years, including thorough analysis of 4 official LSATs! These
solutions will introduce you to numerous analytic techniques that will help you
immensely not only on the LSAT but in law school as well.
The LSAT is an aptitude test. Like all aptitude tests, it must choose a medium in which to measure intellectual ability. The LSAT has chosen logic. Although this makes the LSAT hard, it also makes the test predictable--it is based on fundamental principles of logic. MASTER THE LSAT analyzes and codifies these basic principles: the contrapositive, the if-then, pivotal words, etc. Armed with this knowledge, you will have the ability to greatly increase your score.
Features:
* Analytical Reasoning: Learn powerful diagramming
techniques and step-by-step strategies to solve every type of game question that
has appeared on the LSAT.
* Logical Reasoning: Discover the underlying
simplicity of these problems and learn the principles of logic these questions
are based on.
* Reading Comprehension: Develop the ability to spot places
from which questions are likely to be drawn as you read a passage (pivotal
words, counter-premises, etc.).
* Mentor Exercises: These exercises provide
hints, insight, and partial solutions to ease your transition from seeing LSAT
problems solved to solving them on your own.
* Complete analysis of 4
official LSATs.
* Official score conversion charts and writing samples for
each test.
* The average LSAT scores of 153 ABA approved law schools.
Also includes LSAT test prep software!

whether you answered a problem correctly, and you can immediately view a

September 07, 2009: I scored 156 on my first practice test, and after reading this book I am consistently scoring 168-170. The LSAT is very learnable, and with enough practice a person can learn how it is constructed, and how correct answers are obfuscated.
I used this book, Powerscore's Logic Games Bible, and McGraw Hill's 2010 edition study guide. Now I am able to complete LSAT practice tests quicker (which is key!), and with much less stress. As I stated earlier, my score has also improved since I used this study guide. I think it is in large part b/c of this book: this book spells out in great detail the "why" and the "how." It helped me understand what I was doing wrong. It is a great buy, but only for those who are willing to read through the minutiae. This book is very dense, but on the bright side it does provide practice questions after each section, and full AR, LR and RC sections to practice on. Those who want a quick and dirty book of tips should look elsewhere.Reader Rating:
