I still cannot believe that I did so incredibly well on the LSAT, a necessity for me to get into the schools I am aiming at. What I found most helpful about this book was the personalized study program that gave me the focus and organization to accomplish my study goals throughout my preparation for this test. The online companion, book, and CD all work well together and helped me to structure my study sessions. It turned out that the practice tests were realistic and wonderful preparation for the real deal. The new study questions available online every month was a definite bonus, as I continously needed as much practice as I could get. It all paid off!

Well, I purchased this book at a bookstore without regretfully reading the reviews on it. This book is waaay expensive for what kind of material you may think it will deliver. Firstly, the CD that comes with it doesn't offer much. You'd think the CD will give you in-depth explanations on logic games. NOPE. It just contains few tests, nothing more. Why spend so much when you can invest your money on something else that has more real tests instead of this. Secondly, the material in the book itself didn't hold my attention for long, especially after reading about how this book contains errors. I actually went ahead and purchased other LSAT Test prep books, leaving this book aside.

I bought this book when I was having problems with the logic games section. I also bought the LSAT logic games bible. The Kaplan book was much less helpful. It's explanations were much less in depth and sometimes incorrect. There were a number of errors on the answer section were some answers were incorrect or the answer in the list didn't match the answer in the explanation. If you are having problems with the logic game section, I would definetly recommend against the Kaplan book, but would recommend the other book highly.

I haven't read the other sections of the Kaplan book yet, but I did notice that over half the book is solely practice exams. If you already have the offical past exams, half of this book will be nearly useless for you.

It's hard to trust the advice you're recieving from these people when they, apparently, can't be troubled to PROOF-READ THEIR OWN BOOK.

Take the first couple of practice sections and you'll start to notice that the book's answer lists are often times simply wrong, as well as their answer explanations. Often times the answer will be listed as, say, "D", but the explanation will describe the answer as "B". On Full Practice Test 2, this happens multiple times, in addition to them completely mis-labeling the sections on the answer list. Mistakes this glaring are amazing, was this book proof-read at all?

In addition, the cd is a waste of an additional 15 bucks (over the non-cd version). There are two full tests on it, and a couple of worthless exercises, but for fifteen bucks extra you could practically spring for the Official LSAT Practice Test book with ten additional real tests. The online portion of the Kaplan "system" serves pretty much the same function as a piece of paper. It's only good for keeping track of scores from previous exams.

Oh, and to make things worse, I don't think these tests are terribly accurate in terms of the real thing. In general I've found them much easier than the official LSAT prep tests and tests done by their Princeton Review counterparts. I mean, I'd like to think that I'm fairly intelligent, but to score 8-10 points higher on every Kaplan test is extremely curious. It's easy for Kaplan to "guarantee" an improvement in LSAT score when apparently all they did was make their LSAT tests easier. Ugh.

My advice? Definitely get the Official LSAT Practice Test book, and then buy test prep from Princeton Review or someone else. There's no definitive prep book you MUST buy, but this book is so flawed and limited that it simply cannot be recommended.
