My father sent me this book today priority/signature mail. He wants me to do well on the LSAT. I've been reviewing, prepping, and studying for 4+ months. Therefore, he's already skimmed and highlighted throughout the book for the most important parts to get ready for law school. (The grammar section, I also use as a resource tool when proofreading for clients on Liveperson.com or authors; but have other books on grammar/spelling/punctuation too).
The main sections I will use is on "writing" essay for the standardized test and the "reading comprehension" section. The other part on grammar can be a quick review, but left tabs for future use when in law school since legal writing will be needed. He also got me a book on legal writing! So since there is a writing section, the quick review on grammar, will be beneficial for when under the timed section to do my best since law schools admission office/advisers will review this when considering you in their schools. Kaplan also give a simplified outline that I have to review and let it soak in my mind before test on Oct. 5th. Practice makes perfect, or at least help do my best on the test.
I reviewed the verbal ability and was so helpful. I simply forgot about the prefixes, suffixes, and root of the word to get a simple meaning of the word even when you are unsure. The LSAT is full of words you may haven't seen in a long time or not familiarized with; therefore, you have to know something about the word to pick the right choices because you know what you are looking for in LR and Reading Comp sections of the tests. I will memorize these to be more insightful before test day and while practice tests. (I did skim through a practice one on reading section and got them mostly right except one from skimming too fast, when the answer was in the first paragraph...so have to be more mindful of that too).
