Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Though it bills itself as 2 Real LSATs Explained, this book contains much more. Just for starters, it includes two complete "released" exams, answer keys, and highly detailed explanations that tell you how to identify quickly the type of question asked and how to go about answering it. For example, in the analytical-reasoning section, the authors have drawn diagrams to help establish the relationships between the characters in the problems--as should you, when you take your LSAT.

To help you get to the point where you can benefit from taking a practice exam, this book starts out with a section on basics (which points out how the LSAT relates to the skills you'll need to succeed in law school), a "strategy overview" to help you take control of your test, and information on time management (i.e., how much time you can allot per question) and section management (they suggest skimming so that you answer the easy questions first). The basics section is followed by topical chapters on each of the four sections of the exam. Because logical reasoning constitutes half your LSAT score, the longest chapter is devoted to that--but all chapters include tips on what the sections are intended to measure, step-by-step instructions on solving the different types of questions, and a practice set and explanatory answers. A final chapter entitled "Putting It All Together" returns to the topic of "Test Mentality," as well as more mundane advice about ensuring you fill in the correct ovals on the answer sheet. With its straightforward tone, detailed explanations, and crucial information summaries in the margins, 2 Real LSATs Explained is a real help to anyone preparing for this difficult exam. --C. B.

4.0 out of 5 stars Kaplan 2 Real LSATs is a big help!, July 19, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: KAPLAN TWO REAL LSATS EXPLAINED (Paperback)

This book is essential for all prospective LSAT takers. It is superior to the LSAT Triple Prep by LSAC because it contains two real LSATs plus full explanations of each answer. The best approach is probably to use the Kaplan book first, and then use the skills you have learned with the Triple Prep tests from LSAC.

This review is from: KAPLAN TWO REAL LSATS EXPLAINED (Paperback)

This book is a disappointment. I took a free Kaplan test through my school,and it was the same one in the book. Most of the stuff is pretty explanatory, and you can learn more by getting a general LSAT book (I prefer Princeton Review to Kaplan). You don't get much out of only two tests. I would get the Princeton Review LSAT book and then buy real tests from LSDAS and try to find out why I got them wrong on my own. But believe them when they tell you the LSAT is important. It really opened doors for me.
