5.0 out of 5 stars The only prep book you really need!, October 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The LSAT Advantage with Professor Dave (Paperback)

This is by far the best prep book I have worked with. In fact, had I discovered it earlier, I could have saved myself hundreds of dollars from buying useless prep books and taking a prep course. I highly recommend this book to all potential LSAT test takers. Add this book w/some LSAT Prep Tests and you're set to go. Thank you Professor Dave for such a well written and easily understood explanation of all sections of the LSAT! Your students on the west coast are mighty lucky!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sleek, no-nonsense LSAT success in one book, October 9, 2002

By 

Rozelle Trizuto (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The LSAT Advantage with Professor Dave (Paperback)

I am a returning student with children and a part time job.
I could not afford the time and money for a LSAT review course. Having been out of the classroom for many years, I had lost my testing edge and the LSAT, after all, is quite intimidating. Finally, I found a great solution: The LSAT Advantage with Professor Dave. His style and approach to the test sections are quite inviting and unique compared to other courses I looked at. He simplifies each of the three exam parts with short insightful lectures, examples and exercises in such a clean, clear way that I came away with a distinctive mastery of the material: my timing improved, my scores increased, and my confidence grew significantly. The LSAT Advantage is more than a book --it's a simulated LSAT course. I heartily recommend this learning experience if you are intimidated in any way by the LSAT exam .
