3.0 out of 5 stars Games don't recreate the full feel of real LSAT problems, September 2, 2006

This review is from: LSAT Logic Games (Paperback)

There are approximately 44 original games in the book.

Like a lot of 3rd party books on LSAT logic games, this book doesn't use real LSAT games and instead the authors have written their own. I don't have a problem with this, but I find these made-up games often don't do a good job at recreating the true feel of an LSAT game.

I found the categorization of the games a bit odd, but I bought the book more for the extra problems so how they categorized the game isn't really that important.

The book is ok if you've exhausted the supply of official LSAT problems and are looking for more games to do. It's not great as a teaching tool, but sufficient as a source of extra practice.

I found the games to be neither overly easy nor overly difficult. They're just about right. Hard enough to stretch you and teach you how to work through the problems faster, which is what a lot of people have trouble with, timing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but too general, August 8, 2006

This review is from: LSAT Logic Games (Paperback)

I bought this book looking for a detailed method for solving the riddle that are LSAT logic games. Instead, I found a book that can tell me how to identify the types of games, but leaves me without straightforward methods for solving the problems. A better strategy would be to simply do as many of the offical LSAT problems as you can before you take the test.

However, it is helpful to have quite a few examples of "solved" problems with explanation. With the official test book, you know that you got the answer wrong, but don't know why.

So, if you have the money to spend recklessly, this book will get you further toward your goal of understanding how logic games work, but it may not help you do much better on them without practice, practice, practice.

4.0 out of 5 stars If there was a problem, yo I'd solve it, April 4, 2011

This review is from: LSAT Logic Games (Paperback)

The Logic Games portion of the LSAT is by far the most difficult and most hated section. This book eliminates the focus on all other sections, leaving you free to delve into the less than desirable subject matter with both hands and eventually--if you work all the way through it--bench press it like a pro. With your mind, obviously.
