3.0 out of 5 stars Good preparation but errors in explanations are frustrating, November 27, 1998

By A Customer

I found the descriptions and guided examples of the various types of logic problems quite good. However, when dealing with the practice problems, it is extremely frustrating to find errors in the problem explanations! Most of the errors I have encountered are careless typos, but enough to make the explanation of that particular problem question useless. I think someone needs to go back and proof-read and print an errata sheet. Otherwise, the practice is very helpful.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book provides good practice, October 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Arco GRE/LSAT Logic Workbook, 2000 Edition (Paperback)

I used this book as part of my preparation for the analytical section, which I felt was my weakest area. Some of the early "challenging" logic problems in the book are indeed just that -- MUCH harder than anything I saw on the actual GRE.

Kaplan and The Princeton Review also put out good books on the general GRE.

The key to acing this test is to read the logic questions very slowly before diving into the problems. This book provides ample practice for learning this skill.

Beware of errors (as another reader has mentioned), later on in the book. However, once you get to the point where you can catch errors in the explanation's logic, you should give yourself a pat on the back!

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful study guide, January 13, 2003

By	Kent (Norman, OK USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Arco GRE/LSAT Logic Workbook, 2000 Edition (Paperback)

Are the logic puzzles your Achille's heel on the LSAT? Then this is the book for you.

Work through the problems in this book, and the actual questions on the test will seem much easier. The examples in this book are much more difficult than the actual test. I do not think you will ever learn all the catagories of questions and identify each one definitively, but that is not the point of your studies. This book will challenge you and make the process of thinking through the logic puzzles much easier.

The book only gets 4 stars because it surprisingly contains several typos and one wrong answer. I would expect a study guide to have no mistakes.

This book had a definite impact on my score. If you take the free LSAT practice exam and score less than 150, then this book is probably not for you; purchase a more generalized study guide. This book is for the people that want to get the highest scores and accepted at the best rated law schools.
