 2008-12-01 - FULL OF ERRORS AND TYPOS
I purchased the Kaplan LSAT Premier program as well as the Kaplan LSAT Logic Games Workbook and I've been working with them for about a month. I not only want my money back, but my time as well! These books are full of errors and typos, in the logic games workbook especially. This has made it HARDER to prep for the test rather than easier. STAY AWAY FROM KAPLAN
2008-11-22 - Don't Use ANY LSAT book That Comes With A CD!!!
As a professional LSAT tutor/blogger in NYC, I can tell you that it is CRUCIAL that you practice only with real practice exams published by LSAC. The LSAT is not a computerized exam. It has never been one.
When LSAT prep companies start publishing books with CDs in them, you know that they're just trying to take your money. Steer clear of this book and go with LSAC's "Next 10 Actual Official LSAT Preptests."
 2008-10-28 - Amazing LSAT Practice Book
I received the book a day before doing a practice session, and everything I had a chance to look over helped tremendously in the practice session.
If you're getting ready to take the LSAT please get this book, it is Amazingly helpful. I will be taking the test in December, 2008.

 2008-10-05 - Comparable to a Kaplan course
This book showcases all the skills and tools needed in order to excel taking the LSAT. The book is easy to digest, and breaks the test down into a very interactive manner. I am pleased with the information I am obtaining and look forward to taking the test this December!
2008-10-05 - too basic
Kaplan/Princeton Review: I don't recommend wasting any time with either of these books. They are much too basic. If you want to study for a couple weeks and just get familiar with the test, then these are fine. However, you won't do your best if you rely simply on these general books.
In short, I recommend the following study method for the LSAT:
Introduction to the test: Look at the free stuff from LSAC
Logic Games: Read the book "Ace the LSAT Logic Games", by Get Prepped.
Logical Reasoning: read the book "LSAT Logical Reasoning Bible", by Power Score.
Notice that the conditional reasoning, formal logic, and parallel reasoning sections are probably the most helpful sections. However, these questions are by far the hardest on the logical reasoning section. I recommend saving them for last to make sure you get done in time, since they are the most time consuming. (Before I read these sections I incorrectly thought conditional and logical reasoning was far to easy to be worth studying, since I had an engineering background.)
Reading Comprehension: don't ready any books that tell you to highlight and underline stuff, you won't have time to finish the exam. Instead, read a bunch of novels to improve your reading skills if you were never much of a reader before. So ladies, read some romance novels, and guys well you know what to read.
Lastly, make sure to put down all study books the entire week before the test and simply do practice exams.
