2.0 out of 5 stars Some good practice amid a sea of wasted paper, July 26, 1999

This review is from: LSAT / GRE Analytic Workout (Paperback)

The explanations are rudimentary, and some of the answers are WRONG! Some of the rules don't coincide with the explanations... they probably should have had someone actually DO the problems before putting this book to print. Don't get this book if you're not clueless -- you could find better practice elsewhere

2.0 out of 5 stars Confusing for those preparing for LSAT..., May 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: LSAT / GRE Analytic Workout (Paperback)

I purchased this book to prepare for the LSAT. The examples where either almost identical to previous LSAT questions or had been slightly altered. While this would seem like the appropriate types of problems to practice with, one is probably better off purchasing the Law Services Prep Tests and studying actual problems. The way this book altered some of the questions made them unclear, confusing, and frustrating.

1.0 out of 5 stars LSAT / GRE Analytic Waste, December 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: LSAT / GRE Analytic Workout (Paperback)

This book offers little help and a very convoluted method for approaching the Analytical section of the LSAT. The explanations did little more that confuse the issue more. I am sorry I wasted my money on it. I recomend the Barron's study guides for the LSAT if you are looking for help on the analytical section of the LSAT.
