5.0 out of 5 stars
Highly Useful LSAT Prep Book, November 27, 2005
This review is from: The Official LSAT SuperPrep (Paperback)
This book has some of the most cogent/coherent explanations and general overview of question types that LSAC has ever produced. The explanations are top quality and the overview is good.
The overview reviews some previous LSAT questions and discusses each of the three question types. It totals 40-50 pages of information.
The PrepTests are all February tests, which are not disclosed to test takers and seem to feel different than other LSATs. The explanations are thorough and have some good, general tips on questions.
The book is a little pricey for getting 3 preptests but is worthwhile, especially early on when you're having trouble understanding why you got a question wrong.
Be aware that the book doesn't yield much in the way of really deep strategy work. You'll need to go to one of the prep companies' books for that kind of insight into the LSAT.
The book contains:
SuperPrep A; February 1996
SuperPrep C; February 1999
SuperPrep B; February 2000

3.0 out of 5 stars
only moderately helpful, September 8, 2007
This review is from: The Official LSAT SuperPrep (Paperback)
The explanations in this book are not as clear or accessible as the Powerscore LGB or LRB, and the explanations will not help you form any kind of coherent strategy or methodology for attacking the test...they will just show you what you should have recognized in each individual case.
There are only 2 real reasons to buy this:
(1) You are looking for Reading Comprehension tips
(2) You have already worked through all other released LSATs and need these February ones for additional practice.

Good practice - but also some good advice, September 2, 2006
This review is from: The Official LSAT SuperPrep (Paperback)
I'm sure everyone knows that there are three preptests in this book. They are from three February exams which are usually undisclosed.
I did find something else in this book that was actually kind of helpful. There really isn't all that much good prescriptive advice on how to do reading comprehension. There are loads of logic games books and every serious LSAT student clearly must have the Logical Reasoning Bible from Powerscore.
However, reading comprehension remains an underserved part of the LSAT and accounts for more of the exam than logic games.
With that said, I found the 15 pages of How to take the Reading Comprehension section to be quite helpful. It was useful to see how the LSAT writers view the section and the proper way to attack it.
