4.0 out of 5 stars Good, Concise Strategy Overview, August 31, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: 30 Days to the LSAT, 2nd ed (Peterson's Countdown to the LSAT) (Paperback)

The book does a good job of concisely presenting general strategies in a well-organized fashion; however, I would not suggest it as your only means of preparing for the LSAT exam. There is a very limited number of practice problems and, as previously stated, some of the answers don't appear to be right (although this is also the case with some in the Kaplan series). It is perhaps most useful to someone who's not sure if they will apply to law school but want a taste of the LSAT without spending a lot of time or money. The book has utility as a guided review (as I have tried to use it), although at that point you might be looking for something a bit more challenging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Tips, September 7, 2005

sarah "sarahrulez" - See all my reviews

This review is from: 30 Days to the LSAT, 2nd ed (Peterson's Countdown to the LSAT) (Paperback)

This book has some great tips found nowhere elese. I have used both Kaplan and Princeton Review, but none provide better strategies than this little book. For example, when finding the answer choice that best strengthens the argument Arco recommends ranking the choices. I think this was a great tip if you are stuck on a question. I actually found more information condensed in this than in any other LSAT book. It cuts out the useless BS found in Princeton Review/Kaplan.
The only flaw was some wrong answer choices in the practice problems. But, still a very solid, useful book. I recommend it for anyone!! Even those with more than 30 days till LSAT. The practice problems are VERY SIMILAR to the real exam.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wrong Answers, October 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: 30 Days to the LSAT, 2nd ed (Peterson's Countdown to the LSAT) (Paperback)

I am only through Day 4 of this book and I have found incorrect answers. (If anyone else has this book, check out the answers for #16 and #17 on Day 4 and see if you can find any way they are right.)
