2.0 out of 5 stars Could be great with better editing, November 16, 2005

By

This review is from: LSAT Logic Games (LSAT Test Preparation) (Paperback)

The layout of the book is good: problems, setup and solutions separated so that you can work each set out, then get solution hints before checking for the answers. The problem-solving guidance is well-founded, and the general premise is strong; committed practice yields stronger scores.

However, the problem-solving instruction is wordy and vague, with poorly written instructional steps and explanations. The instructions also suffer when the text describes the use of specific diagrams which are never drawn out.

Even so, I only decided to return this book when I found substantial errors in three of the first 15 puzzles I tried. Because of these errors, some of the questions had more than one correct answer, or the answer listed as correct violated at least one of the rules.

I do not recommend purchasing this book before corrections are issued.

4.0 out of 5 stars Flawed, yet it's a must have for LSAT preparation, November 26, 2007

This review is from: LSAT Logic Games (LSAT Test Preparation) (Paperback)

This book has been helpful for 2 reasons:

1. The problems are the same style as the ones on the LSAT, but MUCH harder. The scenarios and rules are more convoluted. Therefore they are great practice material.

2. There's 100 of them. You won't find more problems in any other single book.

I would recommend reading the Logic Games Bible first, then using this as practice. And DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TIME on these games, since they are way harder than real LSAT logic games.

BTW, there are some errors, but I don't think as many as other people have suggested. Specifically the answers of Game 15 I believe are wrong, but I haven't found other mistakes so far. But what you really need to get better at logic games is hard practice through deep thinking, and this book will provide that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for extra practice, May 5, 2010

By

This review is from: LSAT Logic Games (LSAT Test Preparation) (Paperback)

This book helped me tremendously for two reasons.

1. I wanted to save real LSAT games for simulated tests

2. Games are harder than real LSAT games, which I found very helpful for timing issues

Note: I did not use this book to familiarize yourself with games or learn strategies from a book, and don't think it would be very helpful for accomplishing either of those goals.
