Well done!

What can I say about such a product: Kaplan is famous for its test prep material, and this entry (this new edition) does not disappoint. While I think that earlier editions would serve, probably, just as well, there is no question that this is up to date. The CD-ROM was especially interesting. As most folks know, the LSAT doesn't test material already known, but rather the ability to approach problems. While most people who take the LSAT will probably be able to read passages and interpret them, I think the strength of these prep books lies in getting folks familiar with the games and logic. If you haven't had any experience with it, you are going to slow down. So I believe this was well done and very useful. Anyone prepping for the LSAT will be happy with this book.

This is an excellent choice to learn test taking strategies for the LSAT!

If you want to get into the law school of your choice, or any law school for that matter, there is no doubt you are going to have to prepare for the LSAT. Simply being a good "test taker" is not going to be enough nor is that 4.0 you managed to hold onto for so long. There are a lot of people applying for a few slots and the competition will be hot. The difference can be how well you do on your LSATs. You're going to have to work hard, practice, think, and learn additional test taking strategies. When you work through some of Kaplan's full-length practice tests, you will learn where your strengths lie and where you need to improve. For many people, including myself, it boils down to managing stress levels and focusing during the test. That is where practice comes in. That extra practice and study just may make your dreams come true. The choice is yours: do you want to take a chance or do you want to celebrate when that acceptance letter comes in? If you intend to prep for a test, you need to dedicate some time and a few dollars. If you really feel you are deficient, perhaps you need a course, but if you simply need practice, this is the book for you. I would also recommend buying some older versions, other "brand" names included, to work with. The more you practice these tests, the more confident you will feel with your ability to not only answer the questions, but answer them within the allotted time frame. For example, I took a real life test a while back. I only took one practice test prior to the actual one and because I haven't taken any tests in some time I went over the time limit. When I was taking the "real" test, time was called just as I finished. You need to be honest in accessing your own skills. This book is not going to teach you anything new, but is intended to help you with your test taking strategies and give a general overview of what types of questions you can expect. The questions are from actual tests. In this book you will learn about the test, how it is scored, and will see that all important checklist. As an aside, did you know that "The median LSAT scores accepted by the best law schools in the country, such as Yale, Stanford, and Columbia, range from the high 160s to the low 170s. That translates to a percentile figure of 95 and up." You will see numerous informative sidebars such as this one scattered throughout the book. You'll learn emotional strategies to help you remain stress free, test taking strategies, you'll be able to take full practice tests (with answers and explanations), you learn about the law school application process, and you'll learn how to navigate through test questions. How you use this book, or if you even choose to purchase it, is up to you. The material in this book comes from years of proven research and is one book you may wish to consider if you are determined to get into law school!

prepare for LSAT's

I bought this as a gift for a nephew to use to prepare for his LSAT's. Looks like it'll do the job to me. Gunner June, 2010

a good study guide

So, you think you want to be a lawyer ... Firstly, I have to point out that anyone taking the LSAT most certainly should take a prep course or work their way through a prep book like this one. Sure, you can do fine without it, but for most people the LSAT is a competitive event. It is worth it to do very well. As far as prep courses/and books go - Kaplan has always produced fine products and this one is no exception. Actually, it's pretty much a no brainer. Get this book and work through it. I, personally, am already a lawyer but am checking out a few career enhancing moves. Oddly, one of them has taking the LSAT as an early step in the scheme. So, I am working through this book. It isn't difficult or anything like that, but (as I stated earlier) the LSAT must absolutely be approached as a competition. Prior and recent exposure to the materials can't hurt.
