4.0 out of 5 stars
Improvement needed but still a useful tool!, June 8, 2010
This review is from: Kaplan LSAT Logic Games in a Box (Cards)
Although there are some typos, duplicates and an error or two on the answer side of the card, these cards were are very helpful.
They cover all of the game types taught by Kaplan (sequencing, matching, grouping and hybrid) and issues like limited options and numbers. In addition, about 100 cards are dedicated to interpreting formal logic rules when they appear in the games section. However, they do not cover any of the rare game types (mapping, process, spatial, etc.)
Overall they helped me understand the rules quicker which allowed me to get though the games at the faster pace. This is a great way to study while on the go without having your nose in a book!

Disappointed with errors, March 17, 2010
This review is from: Kaplan LSAT Logic Games in a Box (Cards)
While I appreciated the experience of mixing up my LSAT review with these portable cards, I was disappointed with how many wrong answers were provided. No excuse for a company like KAPLAN to not have a better system in place to check their products.

Not the best of Products, June 25, 2011
This review is from: Kaplan LSAT Logic Games in a Box (Cards)
Being someone that is always on the go, I thought that this product would be an excellent purchase to facilitate my studying for the LSAT. However, I quickly became frustrated with many of the cards. Going through them, I have found several wrong answers (i.e the answer says that letter B must be in position 1 or 2 but the explanation shows that the letters H, C, and G come before it. If three letters come before B, then the earliest position B can be in his four). The explanations offer no real insight. There may be a handful of cards using the same premise and conditions but asking different questions. Each of the answer would be explained using the same exact explanation which offers little if one got the answer incorrect. Another problem I ran across was that questions would not be worded correctly and created confusion into what was being asked. One example was 7 people being placed into 3 vehicles. The question somewhat gives the number of people in vehicles 1 and 2 but does not ask for the number of people in vehicle 3 (despite what the answer and the cookie cutter explanation wanted) - it asked for the people in the "other vehicles." Finally, I have found these cards very simple - when answers are correct and the question was clear on what is being asked - to other LSAT study products that I have used in the past or currently using. Because of the ease compared to other LSAT products and the desire to do as well as possible (which is probably the goal of almost every single person taking the LSAT), this product would probably be best used if one is starting their LSAT studying, when on the go (I took them on vacation, when I went to school, waiting at appointments, etc.), or maybe as a mental warmup the night before and day of the actual test.
