| This book does a good job of explaining every question in the "10 More Actual LSAT" book. Everyone should use real LSAT questions to prepare for the big day, using fake questions-which are found in most books-is a bad use of you time. Finally this books explains real LSAT questions, so lawyer wanna-be's can finally get real LSATs exaplained-which used to mean taking an expensive prep course just to look at their test libraries. Note that this book doesn't contain any overview info, it only explains the questions. So if you need a overiew book, pick up "Master the LSAT" or a Princeton or Kaplan book. So you need to buy "10 More Actual LSAT" and probably one extra overview book, but then you have everything a person who paid for a thousand dollar course has. |
The book you can afford to buy, but can't afford to miss!

"Practicing with actual LSAT questions is necessary but not sufficient. In 10 More Actual LSATs, Law Services provides actual LSATs and answers, but no analysis and no commentary. In this book, Get Prepped provides the missing link-exceptional analysis and complete commentary-for all 5 (right and wrong) answer choices to the 1010 questions in 10 More Actual LSATs. In my 25 years of teaching and creating LSAT courses I have seen many LSAT prep books. This is one of the most accurate, well organized and helpful books that I have encountered, and a bargain to boot!"

| This is a helpful guide to figuring out those troublesome questions in 10 More Actual, Official LSATs. It's great because we all get stuck on at least a few questions that no matter how hard you try, you just can't seem to figure them out on your own. This is where this book comes in handy. I took the test in 10 More, scored it and marked the answers I got wrong. Then I went back and tried to figure out for myself what I did wrong. If I got stuck, and just couldn't figure it out on my own, I went to LSAT Answers to help me figure out my mistake. It was wonderful. I also skimmed over the explanations for the answers I got correct, just to make sure that my reasoning was correct. It has really helped me see where I'm going wrong and right. For the price, this is a book you can't afford to miss if you are self-preparing for the LSAT. |
good for arguments and reading, but not necessarily games

This book is pretty helpful in terms of discovering what you did wrong - unless it's in the games section. The diagrams that this book creates are unrealistic in my opinion because they take up too much space and also they are difficult to follow. They look like something done in a word processor, so they aren't aesthetically pleasing, but also, more importantly, they're not great at organizing lots of information. There are crazy lines and arrows all over the place that are supposed to show flow of logic, but I don't see it. There are just too many and it's difficult to discertain which arrow came first.
Princeton Review did a good job explaining games and how to diagram. I wish they made an answers book. Because then I would understand what I did wrong.
But this book gets 3 stars nonetheless because it was helpful for the other sections. |
Be Careful Assuming It Actually Has All the "Answers"

Because there aren't comparable books out there with explanations for every test question in every released LSAT Preptest included in "10 More Actual, Official LSAT Preptests," I would still consider buying this book for lack of a better option. However, calling the explanations "Unsurpassed" is reaching quite a bit.
The reasoning given for why wrong answers are wrong is often not helpful, and sometimes even incorrect. The book occasionally makes a correct answer sound like it should have been chosen as the best selection among poor choices, but if someone understands the actual logical basis behind a correct answer, then the correct answer is clearly the only choice that would satisfy a question.
For example, the book has a habit of dismissing incorrect answers with the terribly unhelpful explanation, "So what?" That is not a paraphrase; the book will actually analyze an incorrect answer choice with the words, "So what?"
Now, if someone picked that answer choice, and needed help understanding why it was wrong, "So what?" would not even begin to help him or her. "So what?" is not a sufficient explanation because, if it were that obvious, no one would have ever been tempted to choose an incorrect answer choice in the first place!
Regarding the inaccurate reasoning given for eliminating wrong answer choices and selecting the right one, an example wouldn't be very clear here because it would be totally out of context for someone who didn't have the Preptest questions in front of him or her to examine. However, consider looking through the book at a bookstore after taking a Preptest, and carefully reading the explanations that "LSAT Answers" provides for why any of your correct answers are correct. You won't have to read many before you'll find one that is really nothing but fluff.
As I said, because it suffers from a lack of competition, the book still might be worth buying. But don't make it your only source of reference because there are better explanatory texts out there, even if they don't cover all of the questions from all of the Preptests in one of the 10-Preptest volumes. |
