| | Mistake!  |
| |
I bought this book based on the positive user reviews. I have spent seven hours working through it already. The language and instructions are easy to understand, and I appreciate that. However, I worked through the introduction to the logic games section and found a mistake. They use an example where there is a condition listed and then they give a "correct" answer to a question although that answer directly violates the prior condition. It makes me nervous that a book that is supposed to help me do well on the test has a mistake that I found, and I haven't been doing this for very long. I'm buying a different study aid! |

Most LSAT courses don't even touch reading. Nova gives it a big chunk of space. Aside from reading, I strongly recommend this if you wish to plug in the holes of your prep course. It's wonderfully written and the best LSAT book.

Great book. I started with this book as the foundation of my LSAT study. It has good strategies and a good bit of practice. Don't use it alone, though. Be sure to practice the old LSATs - time can be an issue for some of us and practice the real tests can help. You might also want to get a seperate practice book, but try to find one that uses actual questions. I had one book specifically for the analogy questions. |

I don't really have a lot of time to write this review but I wanted to write one before I lost interest in the topic. Let me start by saying I'm so glad I also bought a Kaplan book or else I would have no idea what was going on, this book simply did not provide any time efficient means to solve analytical logic problems (the one people seem to have the most difficulty solving). The book only comes with a single prep test, this was not enough for me, and as for the examples they provide in the book and cd-rom they are logically flawed! Now perhaps you're thinking that I'm just bad at the analytical problems but I assure you these flaws are very basic and I am shocked that they weren't caught before publication. Also, the cd-rom does run on windows XP which is a shock considering it appears graphically to be from the early nineties. I normally would overlook the graphical shortcomings of the cd-rom if there were any useful features on it what-so-ever; there are no such features. There are many better books out there in the same price range... if you've tried the best I'd suggest you get this book because it most definitely is the rest. |
| | Needs updating - but good reading comprehension section  |
| |
Most of these off-the-shelf 1-inch thick books on LSAT prep are usually very general in nature and marginally helpful.
This book seems like it was written in the 1990s and just had the copyright and cover updated every year. It uses nomenclature that no longer appears on the LSAT (e.g. I, II, I or III) and includes phrases like "The following are from a recent LSAT" and then proceeds to give a question that was used in 1993.
The LSAT has changed over the past decade and most authors have not updated their books and this is no exception.
The book actually includes 4 LSATs (#2, #7, #8, #9).
This book does however contain one outstanding feature: reading comprehension. The book probably has the best reading comprehension section out of all of the LSAT books I looked at (I surveyed at least 4-5 at the book store). And for a section that accounts for more points nowadays than logic games, it's a section that's hard to find good advice on. So, if you're looking for a good section of reading comprehension, this book is about as good as you're going to find outside of a prep course. |
