1.0 out of 5 stars Better off with one of the other companies, August 20, 2008

By	G_S_ - See all my reviews

I used the kaplan book when I first started preparing for the lsat. It gave a lot of reasoning why answers were wrong, but it did not break down the questions and explain what the lsat question writers are looking for in answers. After taking a TPR (princeton review) class, I got in the 99% because I understood how they expected you to think when taking the lsat. TPR may or may not be the best, but kaplan is certainly the worst. After doing some research before signing up for a class, kaplan has the worst score improvements, and the lowest lsat scores for their instructors.
Also, the cdrom is a poor substitute for a paper version of the exam.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, December 8, 2008

By	Brian (new york, ny United States) - See all my reviews

Kaplan's LSAT study guides are an embarrassment to what I thought the company's reputation stood for (IMHO): quality test prep. The guides are Kaplan's marketing trap: vague explanations, typos, errors and very poor attention paid to detail (initially) made me think I should register for one of their courses in order to prepare for the LSAT. Avoid this. It's possible to study successfully on your own with the LSAC's official study guide. In short, I believe you'll learn more from blasting the radio, chatting with friends and watching TV while reviewing a non-Kaplan guide compared to burning countless invaluable hours of your time in the library with an error laden Kaplan guide--while exaggerating, it's only to make the point: I'm that unimpressed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Use ANY LSAT book That Comes With A CD!!!, November 22, 2008

By	Stephan Schwartz "LSATblog.blogspot.com" (New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a professional LSAT tutor/blogger in NYC, I can tell you that it is CRUCIAL that you practice only with real practice exams published by LSAC. The LSAT is not a computerized exam. It has never been one.

When LSAT prep companies start publishing books with CDs in them, you know that they're just trying to take your money. Steer clear of this book and go with LSAC's "Next 10 Actual Official LSAT Preptests."
