The Official LSAT SuperPrep

You should study some basic strategies from another book before you start doing the practice in this one. Although some explainations are not that clear, it's still a great book.

I didn't have time to study for the LSAT and ONE week before the LSAT I worked with this book and my score went from 145 to 153! (153 is not so bad considering that my language is spanish and I didn't prep at all). I'm assuming that for an english native speaker this could mean you can score a 163-165 without having to study for 3 months.

The book explains every type of question you're going to find on the LSAT and it contains 3 February tests so you can practice. Each prep test has the answers and every choice fully explained.

So if you don't have time to prep this is the best book you can work with.

Good Luck!

After being disappointed by many other manuals, I purchased this, official LSAC distributed, manual. I was surprised at the vast difference in the quality of instruction and accuracy of examples in this manual. In my honest opinion, the other prep manuals that I purchased were jokes; simply ridiculous content and little to no help whatsoever (being that I'm not severely mentally deficient). I would highly recommend this book, especially after having been just as highly disappointed by so many other books.

I'm sure everyone knows that there are three preptests in this book. They are from three February exams which are usually undisclosed.

I did find something else in this book that was actually kind of helpful. There really isn't all that much good prescriptive advice on how to do reading comprehension. There are loads of logic games books and every serious LSAT student clearly must have the Logical Reasoning Bible from Powerscore.

However, reading comprehension remains an underserved part of the LSAT and accounts for more of the exam than logic games.

With that said, I found the 15 pages of How to take the Reading Comprehension section to be quite helpful. It was useful to see how the LSAT writers view the section and the proper way to attack it.

At first, I wasted my time with prep materials not written by the LSAC. Many of the questions seemed too easy or too hard. Additionally, many of these materials are plagued with typos, misreads and incorrect arguments. I suppose this is due to them being written by one, or maybe just a few, author(s). In contrast, the LSAT superprep is great. The questions are real LSAT tests from the past and the explanations help greatly. There are no typos I have found yet and the level of questions are much more realistic (actually, they're REAL so they must be realistic :). True, the material might be a bit dull at times but, Hey, that's how the test is anyway. You're not getting this book for entertainment, you're getting it to ace the LSAT. Good luck!
