10 More Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests (Lsat Series) (Lsat Series)

First, if you are planning on taking the LSAT, you need to have this book. You need to have any LSAT test ever published, and you need to go over every question carefully to understand why the correct answer is correct, and why the incorrect answer is incorrect. From this you can find patterns of how you take the test and how you can improve your methods. You should do this regardless of how you are preparing for the test, though most courses *should* help you do this.

Be warned, however, that the tests in this book are from an older format. Tests 39-52 (52 is given in Feb 07) were changed so that the Analytical Reasoning (AR) games were easier, and the Reading Comprehension (RC) and Logical Reasoning sections became more difficult. My score on these older tests ranged from 6-10 points higher than my score on the newer tests because I am good at the AR section. So don't expect the score on these exams to accurately reflect your score on a recent test. Don't let that stop you from taking these tests. You need all the practice you can get, and if you're not as good at the AR games, practicing on the tougher old ones will definitely help you for the exam.

Starting with test 53 (June 07) they will be changing the fomrat of the RC section so that one of the four readings is a compare and contrast excercise between two shorter readings. How this will affect the score curve and the difficulty of the other sections is unclear. See the LSAC website for more details.

Good luck!

The best way to prepare for the LSAT is to take practice tests to familiarize yourself with the form and types of questions you'll see on the actual test. This book consists of 10 tests actual previous administed tests, complete with everything but the ungraded experimental section you'll see on the real LSAT, answer sheets, and information for scoring yourself. I found this book and the most recent version essential to my test prep.

This helps prepare you but doesn't give tips or anything. I'd buy these types of books in combination with others designed to explain how the LSAT questions are asked, etc. Powerscore is the best by far in that area.

I didn't think it mattered which practice tests I got. As it turns out, many of the practice lessons in the other books were duplicated from earlier tests. So... the more recent the better, I'd say.

I used this book for the DULSAT TEST, some of the questions were almost identical to what they used on this test for entry into Deakin UNI Law School.
The questions are hard, but are very similar to the style of questions you will get law school admissions test for Australian Universities.
