Done, bitches!!!!




I'm sure if I had studied it better, this book would've greatly improved my LSAT performance, which was completed just 45 minutes ago and will probably be about average. As it was, it was very beneficial in helping me be aware of what to expect and how to approach the tests. And it was even funny here and there. Those wacky Princetonians!

It's pretty good. Gotta read the "crack it" part the most and make tables on Word or Excel to really nail it down. Knowing what the questions are asking for is the main key as well as knowing what the answers should NOT say (like extreme words).

I learned that the LSAT is basically just a giant clusterf**k.

For an initial study aid for the LSAT, the Princeton Review study materials and suggestions can’t be beat. They quickly and effortlessly guide you through all three scored sections – Logical Reasoning/Arguments, Reading Comprehension, and Logic Games – as well as give you some quick and easy pointers about how to trounce the unscored Essay portion with relative ease.

I, of course, found this to be simply a good warm-up for more detailed study and practice, as my results from taking the practice Logical Reasoning/Arguments sections was sub-par compared to those from the two other scored sections. Which, indicating that the folks from Princeton Review can’t help me as much as I’d like, caused me to ordered PowerScore’s LSAT Logical Reasoning Bible for more thorough aid and practice. (Hey, it’s cheaper than paying big bucks and showing up for a Princeton Review class.)

All in all, the sixteen bucks I spent for this five-hundred-some-page study guide was money well spent early in this eight-month process of honing up my reasoning and speed reading skills. The GRE the LSAT ain’t – although I wish that it were.

I am doing the logic games section to see if I can improve my score. Right now I have done 2 games and made perfect scores but it took me 30 minutes each and I need to to 4 games in 30 minutes. I am hoping to improve my speed.

This was a good introduction to the sections of the LSAT. The tips for the "games" section are useful.
