1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy it!, November 4, 2003

Michael Gordon "Michael Gordon" (Los Angeles, Ca) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: How to Prepare for the Lsat: Law School Admission Test (8th ed) (Paperback)

This is a highly poor edition to study for the LSAT. One of the main reasons has to do with the fact that, unlike the real LSAT, which has rigorous controls to ensure that 1) test questions are quite similar to past tests; 2) that there is no ambiguous language that would confuse or create potentially two accurate answers . . . but this book has no such protections to guarantee the accuracy or quality of the test questions.

Instead, I would highly recommend the LSAT takers purchase a book from the Law School Admission Council, which sells actual past LSAT exams.

What we seek to do is earn high scores on the actual LSAT test; we really do not care how Barron's will rate us. So we must take a test that is as close to a real LSAT test as humanly possible. Simply put, this book fails that test.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great testing strategies, disappointing sample exams, August 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Htp LSAT Book with CD-ROM (Paperback)

This book provides great strategies for each section of the LSAT. It is very thorough in dissecting different types of problems. However, the sample exams are a big disappointment. They each contain all five multiple-choice sections, including the experimental one, but they don't tell you which one it is. You can't score yourself! After sweating for three hours on a sample exam, it would be nice to know how you scored. The CD doesn't add anything significant either. It contains the same sample tests as the book. Sure, I guess there's the added convenience of having your computer time you, but it still won't score your exam. For some strange reason, the program wouldn't even save my exam, so I can't go back and look at my answers now. If you're going to buy this book, buy it without the CD. You'll save a few bucks.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book sucks!, September 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Prepare for LSAT - Law School Admission Test (Barron's LSAT) (Paperback)

This book is not only a waste of money, but more unfortunately, a waste of one's time. The questions are very poorly put together, and often make no sense. By comparison, the series by Kaplan are far better.
