5.0 out of 5 stars
for high scorers,
This review is from: LSAT Workout (Graduate School Test Preparation) (Paperback)
The toughest collection of LSAT questions I've ever seen. Not for the faint of heart, but if you're shooting for a top score, this is definitely the book to get. If you can work these logic games, then anything you see on the real LSAT will seem tame by comparison.

This review is from: LSAT Workout (Graduate School Test Preparation) (Paperback)
This book is meant to be a "hardest of" LSAT questions and on this level, the book is what it's advertised to be. However, the questions are hard for all the wrong reasons. (Note that the book contains only made up LSAT questions, not actual questions from administered LSATs).On the LSAT, there is exactly one right answer and exactly four wrong ones. On a weaken question, exactly one answer will weaken the answer at all and exactly four answers will not weaken whatsoever. This book attempts to make questions difficult by putting in multiple answers that could debatably be right. Then in the answer, they will equivocate with statements like 'this will weaken only in situations that...". No. On the LSAT, wrong answers on a weaken question never weaken ever. Period. Just because something doesn't weaken in 100% of cases doesn't matter. If it even weakens somewhat, it weakens. This book doesn't seem to understand this. So, yes, by putting in multiple possibly correct answers, this book does contain some very difficult questions. Because now you are debating between two answers, each of which weaken and you're trying to decide which one does it more of the time than the other. This is great for mental exercise, but isn't something that shows up on a real LSAT. The logic games are also convoluted and totally non-representative. Again, great for a mental challenge. Not really useful for LSAT prep. If you want some more totally unrepresentative, but hard games, check out the purple REA LSAT games book. One thing I did like about the book is the way they broke out questions by the "trick" type rather than just the question type. For example, there is a section on scope shifts in the conclusion, scope shifts within premises, which I thought was a good way of emphasizing what an LSAT taker should be looking out for. Too bad the questions they put after those short tutorial bits were so poorly constructed.

Questions are tough- no make that impossible,
By Mikey (TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: LSAT Workout (Graduate School Test Preparation) (Paperback)
I recently decided to take the LSATs (and possibly apply to Law School). I have virtually no prior knowledge about anything related to LSAT but just went out and purchased this book b/c it was published recently and the Princeton Review's familiar name. Let me just say that I was in for a shock. This book starts you off w/ several drill sections starting w/ logical reasoning. Like any good future lawyer, I just started working through these w/o reading any of the prefaces and/or tips section. I scored above 95% in my GRE verbal section so I did not think the LSAT would be that hard. I was throughly shocked because I could not even get 1/2 of drill questions right. The explanations did little to help me see the "right" answer. I've since taken a practice exam (a real test from prev years) and was surprised once again to find that the questions are indeed much easier(I can't stress this enough) than the ones found in this book. At this point, I'm not sure this book will help b/c some of questions are so convoluted (I'm convinced some of the questions deliberately try to mislead you which supposedly LSAT questions are not) that you will scratch your head for days.
