This review is from: The PowerScore 2004 LSATs Deconstructed (Paperback)

I have read the PowerScore Logic Games Bible and the PowerScore Logical Reasoning Bible and both were extremely helpful to me. I have been preparing for the upcoming June LSAT and I needed help increasing my score. With these books my score has already gone up 10 points! The 2004 LSATs Deconstructed was very helpful as well. It walked me through an entire LSAT with very clear and detailed explanations. I would highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for self-prep, April 9, 2008

This review is from: The PowerScore 2004 LSATs Deconstructed (Paperback)

This book, published by Powerscore, contains the 3 LSATs administered in 2004 and comes with comprehensive and detailed solutions to each test.

The solutions are 90-120 pages long and give you great insight into how to answer these questions efficiently and accurately. The explanations tell you why each right answer is right and why each wrong answer is wrong. And it's detailed too. They don't just give you a one-liner like "no, out of scope". There's usually a paragraph explaining why the wrong answer is wrong and should be eliminated.

After doing the tests, it's worth reading the entire solutions to questions you got right as well as wrong answers because you start to think like an LSAT question writer and see where they are trying to trick you and how to avoid these traps.

LSAC's own Superprep is also an outstanding resource in this regard.

It's too bad no company publishes solutions sets this detailed on a regular basis.

LSAT deconstructed was the perfect self-study guide. I took the practice tests, pinpointed my weaknesses, and found the best approach to the different types of questions. -Whit Remer
