1.0 out of 5 stars Worst book ever!, June 26, 2006

This review is from: McGraw-Hill's LSAT (Paperback)

Most of my complaints with this book have already been articulated by other reviewers, but just in case you need more convincing, I am another very unhappy customer. I bought this at a bookstore and deeply regret not having checked amazon for reviews, because it was a waste of time and money, as well as a detriment to my studying. The errors found were not things that could possibly be just me misunderstanding--they were blatant like the answer & explanation not matching any of the answer options given in the question. I couldn't trust their answers for anything, so I never knew if I was getting problems wrong or they were, so it was completely useless for trying to improve my performance. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!

1.0 out of 5 stars SHAME ON YOU MC-GRAW-HILL!!!, March 25, 2006

This review is from: McGraw-Hill's LSAT (Paperback)

I am echoing all of the other comments on this book... there are so many errors that it leaves you second-guessing EVERYTHING which equals time wasted. I also agree with a previous remark that it might leave you second-guessing your OWN skills. The last thing you need when you're studying for the LSAT is to feel defeated before you've even begun. Don't buy this book!!

This is so bad that it will do more harm than good. If this is the best that Harvard students can do, then we should all be able to qualify for Harvard.
