This review is from: CliffsTestPrep Law School Admission Test (Lsat) (Paperback)

this book if very brief (it offers no more information or instruction than that provided in the lsat registration booklet that comes with your test application). the sample questions for the analytic section are much easier than those on the lsat, but the logic questions were about the same difficulty. if you only have a few days to prepare, i guess this would be a good choice since it is a quick read, but if you have more time, i recommend barron's pass-key instead. FYI: don't take the december lsat, i did and everyone had a cold and was coughing and sneezing and blowing their noses and it was impossible to concetrate--it was a nightmare!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent technique and strategies in a small book., September 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: CliffsTestPrep Law School Admission Test (Lsat) (Paperback)

There are many guides to the LSAT and they are all very similar to each other. However, the Cliff's notes version has three sample tests and discusses each section of the test in-depth. It leaves the reader well prepared for the test and for half the price of most of the other books. In addition, since actual sample tests are available from LSAT.ORG, there is simply no reason to buy another book and pay more money. The only downside is that the book is very small so it's relatively hard to write on the sample tests as the book suggests. Overall, it is well worth the 9.99 suggested retail price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Learn, August 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: CliffsTestPrep Law School Admission Test (Lsat) (Paperback)

In going through the book, the questions seemed complicated at first, but the book teaches you how to take the information and make a diagram and place all the information in proper order, this makes answering the questions very simple, (once you get the hang of it!).
