Useful Book, Possibly Useful DVD
 
Review Date: May 19, 2010
Reviewer: J. Smith,
The Princeton Review has a long reputation for producing useful test review books. The Cracking the LSAT book itself is actually a great place to start for LSAT Review. The explanations are simple, as are the diagramming methods. The simulated questions in the book tend to be somewhat easier than real LSAT questions, so you will want to move on to something more advanced after this, such as real Preptests or the Powerscore books, which use real LSAT questions.

But if you are on this page, I assume you are wondering whether the DVD is worth the extra $10 vs the standalone book Cracking the LSAT, 2010 Edition (Graduate School Test Preparation)

The DVD is about an hour long and covers everything in the book in an abbreviated form. The DVD actually makes a good introduction to the material, and, if you are someone who doesn't have a lot of experience learning independently from books (i.e. without a teacher), you may find the DVD explanation helpful, in the sense it walks you through each area of the test and teaches you some basic tactics. That being said, there is nothing special in the DVD that the book lacks. The actors are in their mid-20s and I would say that the filming isn't very polished; one of the actors does not enunciate very well. The simulated questions on the DVD are actually kind of hard to read on-screen, given that they have been scanned somehow to screen rather than typed with some kind of digital video editing software.

In short, for $10, the DVD only makes sense if this is your first exposure to LSAT training or if you really do prefer to be spoon fed information. If you know how to take notes from a book and learn from them, then you might prefer to buy the version without the DVD.
Yay!!!!!!!!

I already had kaplans LSAT guide but i also heard that princeton review was good from my professor. I take the test in December, so I have faith that this book will help me. So far it looks very informative, especially with the disk in the back.
