The PowerScore LSAT Logical Reasoning Bible: A Comprehensive System for Attacking the Logical Reasoning Section of the LSAT

This book covers every type of LR question featured on the LSAT and goes over them in great detail. Though I feel lots of LR is just intuitive, I did learn quite a few helpful tips and tricks from this book.

The downside is that the proportion of the book that is actually practice questions is small, almost disappointingly so.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this book. The thoroughness of its instruction is unmatchable.

I've got to tell you, I'm both lazy and cheap, so I could've easily been imperiled when it came to the LSAT. However, thanks largely in part to this book, I managed a 155, and my grand total of expenses in preparation for the LSAT was about $95. Just buy this and the next 10 actual test booklet and you're halfway there. If you are either A- not as brilliant as I (hahah) or B- very worried, you'll want to also pay for a kaplan or whoever actual prep course.

I never even made it all the way through this book, maybe 2/3rds, but I smashed this section on the test. In my pre-testing I was getting 20 of 25 right with 3-5 minutes to spare, just like on the real test. Note- I did not study for and BOMBED the logic games, grrrrr.

Category and sub category the important outlines from the subject that makes readers have the methodology to follow to conquer the exam.

Really the best LR test prep around. While it does not have as many practice problems as, say, a Kaplan book, it actually does teach you to think like the testmakers. It has extremely clear, detailed reasoning. If you use it, start it asap (ie, not a week before the LSAT). The lessons do take some practice before you can use the skills efficiently and decrease your time per question. Happily, this book does not do the whole wink-wink-aren't-we-all-on-the-same-boat tone. It's more expensive, but I think that is because they pay copyright for actual LSAT LR questions.

I bought this book in May 2006 to study for the June 2006 LSAT. I got through the book in time, but I didn't feel like I had learned anything from it. My scores on the Logical Reasoning section (which is my LSAT Achilles' Heel) didn't change much. I also felt like the authors didn't provide enough examples, nor did they explain the answers fully enough so that I could correct my problems. You will definitely need to supplement your studies with most, if not all, of the previously administered exams. "The Bible" also doesn't account for the way that the test has changed over time (less emphasis on analytical reasoning, more emphasis on reading comp and logical reasoning.) This has definitely changed the frequency and difficulty of the different types of questions in the LR section.

I thought it was poorly written; I found multiple typos. I ended up not taking the test until December, because after failing to feel prepared for the June exam, I enrolled in an INCREDIBLE course that's located only in Boston and NYC (send me a message if you're interested).

I have to make the disclosure that my scores are fairly high... the first LSAT I took in May, I received a 164. My practice test scores have gone as high as 176, though I am pretty confident that my real score won't hit the 170s. If you choose to buy this book, I would use it ONLY if you aren't planning to be enrolled in a prep course, and then ONLY if you're TOTALLY lost trying to study, you know you're below your potential, or you need to improve significantly in this section.

GOOD LUCK!
