10 More Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests (Lsat Series)

I purchased this book and the original 10 Real LSATS. Honestly, I only finished the original 10 Real LSATS. I became swamped with too many LSAT questions. If you feel as if you need a lot of practice by all means purchase both books or you can purchase just one. They are both Real LSAT exams that were previously administered. They contain actual grid sheets and everything except for the 5th experimental section. If you want to practice by using the 5th e. section having both books might come in handy because you could do one complete exam in one book (4 sections) and then add one section from the other book to make 5 sections. At least purchase one of the books so you can get a real feel for the exam.

Just in case you didn't know, I thought I should write a review to say that there are no explanations of the questions. All of the answers are, of course, given, but they aren't explained. So, even if you are convinced that it's (A), and the back of the book says (C), it doesn't tell you why you're wrong. Nevertheless, taking loads of tests is absolutely the best way to prep out there. Basically, those thousand dollar courses are for people who don't have the motivation to buy these books and do it themselves. So, if you want to save money and know you can force yourself to take these practice tests, I highly suggest that you do so.

There is no substitute for taking real, timed, practice LSATs. It is simply the best way to prepare for the real thing. My study plan was two part: First, I paid the big bucks for an LSAT class. Second, I studied real tests every day out of this and its companion book. While the class was great, I found that simply studing all of the material on the real test was by far the most useful thing I did (not to mention that it cost a lot less). These books are simply a must have to prepare well and I recomend them to everyone. In my case, they helped me score in the mid 170s.

The reading comprehension sections in this book were easier than those of the Oct. & Dec. 2002 exams, but the other sections were comparable. I personally feel there's nothing like being exposed to actual test questions to help one feel confident going into the test. By utilizing this book alone, I was able to score in the upper 160's. I would definitely recommend it.

This second collection of 10 exams was, like the first Official LSAT Preptest collection, a good exam backup. The only real difference, besides the physical one of being slightly thinner and different page printing, was that this book seemingly didn't feel like it was any different. The additional tests were good practice, though, and for LSAT students, especially those that are either taking it for the first time or reviewing to get a better score, all the help you can get is better than nothing at all. This is a good idea and helpful in combining multiple exams together for a rather decent price. One knock on the books themselves is that the Exam comprises 5 sections while the preptests have only the 4 sections that were scored. Since the 3 main areas are covered for you, though, you're not losing anything.
