In combination with official practice tests, I found this book invaluable. I spent four weeks studying with it two hours a night, learning the strategies for the logic games (which were totally foreign to me), and I probably put my score up by ten points.

I have recommended this to everyone applying to law school, just for clarity and helpfulness in tackling this difficult test. The author lays out how to solve the problems, and the methods worked for me. However, don't forget to supplement with practice tests afterward!

Excellent test prep book. I am able to apply kolby's strategies for logical reasoning and reading comprehension to perform better on both sections. Also, the games section is layed out nicely. I regret not getting this book a couple months earlier.

This book was really pretty good...the explanations were clear and I thought it did a good job of covering all the bases. I definitely recommend it. Two things, however...the author suggests all kinds of things for diagramming the games section, which is fine, but make sure you run through the games section on your own to figure out what works best for you...I think that perhaps the author tries to get you to do too much with the diagrams...the other thing is that this book is very informational and will help your chances of getting a decent score (in my opinion, at least) but you have to have a good amount of time to go through it. This is not a good book if you plan on cramming, but if you've got some time to study 3-5 times a week I highly recommend it.

Your money would be better spent buying the PowerScore Logic Games Bible and PowerScore Logical Reasoning Bible. Their explanations are much more thorough than Nova's, and their strategies are designed to maximize efficiency, whereas some of Nova's strategies actually make problems more time-consuming without yielding better results.

The Nova diagramming system for the Logic Games is inferior to the PowerScore method, and the sequence of Nova addresses many topics simultaneously without giving the background on each component skill beforehand.

The writing in PowerScore is more succinct and yet still comprehensive, and I found that it did a much better job in helping me prepare for my exam.

I really question some of the answers that he (Jeff Kolby) provides for some of the questions. I find that I come to easier (more logical) conclusions than the ones he's provided.

The layout of the book is helpful and I feel a lot more confident after studying this course guide towards the LSATs coming up.
