This review is from: McGraw-Hill's Conquering LSAT Logic Games (Paperback)
Maybe they don't want you to do well on the LSAT, because if you did, despite encountering this book, and you became a lawyer, you would want to sue McGraw-Hill.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good strategies, inexcusable error rate, February 10, 2007
By 
Lindsay Murphy (Bloomfield Hills, MI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: McGraw-Hill's Conquering LSAT Logic Games (Paperback)
Another well-intended LSAT prep offering, this book purports to use the strategies developed by Harvard Law in order to offer a "foolproof" method of solving LSAT logic games. Their method is foolproof, all right; the rate of typos, misprints and other errors contained in this book made the prep questions virtually useless to any but a complete fool. The poor editing makes me wonder if anyone at McGraw Hill, let alone HLS, has ever heard of red pen - and, as another reviewer suggested, casts a great deal of aspersion on both the legal and writing skills of Harvard students.

That being said, I actually found the book /in toto/ to be quite useful; I simply applied the strategies delineated therein to old disclosed LSATs. That approach worked quite well and yielded much better results than using any of the books by itself (or, for that matter, LSAC's own prep method).

Sadly, this execrable state of accuracy isn't limited to one or two bad books; every LSAT prep book I worked with, including entries from all the major prep companies, was plagued with the same rates and kinds of errors. (I'm already planning on requesting a refund from a particular name brand, as blindly following its "correct answers" would guarantee a poorer score than one would obtain with no prep at all.) One has to wonder if this is an industry-wide scheme to drive people away from the books and into classroom-based prep courses.

1.0 out of 5 stars Appaling, September 12, 2007
This review is from: McGraw-Hill's Conquering LSAT Logic Games (Paperback)
What the $%@! Are the people at McGraw-Hill trying to pull? How did this book get on the market? And just who wrote it... A deranged lunatic? A filthy sadist? A pack of dim-witted monkeys on acid?

The book is littered with errors. I started finding them almost from page one. Typos I could care less about, but the answers they give to the sample questions are frequently wrong. It's so bad that when one of my answers matches the answer in the book, I worry that I have done the question wrong.

My exam is coming up in a couple of weeks... I can still recover from this mistake, but I sure would like my time (and money) back from this catastrophic disaster.
