Think twice before you get this book. All three tests in the book are available in other, more recent study books. It contains PrepTests 11, 12, & 13, which correspond to June 1994, October 1994, and December 1994, respectively. All three of these tests are available in "10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests.

The only things this book has that you won't find other places:
-Explanations for ten Logical Reasoning questions from PrepTest 11.
-Explanations for ten Reading Comprehension questions from Preptest 11.
-Explanations for ten Logical Game questions from PrepTest 11.
-50 writing sample prompts. (The writing sample changed in June 2005, adding a second type where you analyze an argument...the "argument prompt". The samples in this book only represent half of the essays, the "decision prompt".

There's no real reason to get this book. Few people practice with more than one or two prompts (if that). You get prompts with other PrepTests you buy so it is overkill. Maybe it would be useful if English wasn't your first language.

The explanations are also sub-par. LSAC's explanations from "The Official LSAT Superprep" and "The Official LSAT PrepTest with Explanations" are much better.

I took the LSAT this fall, and I think that the most worthwhile and practical way to study for it is by taking these tests. While other books may be full of "hints" and "tips" the only way to really know what an LSAT will be like is by taking one, or preferably several.

yes, it is real previous test, but whenever the book mentioned explanation included, i expected full explanation on each one, but it is NOT. they only explain the selective question of one test, not 3 tests, which is kind of disappointed. and they don't teach you the strategy at all, you have to look at the cracking LSAT book for that. All above, the is a subsidary book only.
