 An Absolute Must - Forget About Kaplan May 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
50% of your score on the LSAT is tied to Logical Reasoning. You may think you are hot on this subject, but everyone can benefit, and should benefit, from detailed study on the subject. Logical Reasoning should be where you make up for points lost in the Logic Games. This book, with real LSAT examples (not imitations) will help you do this with well-expressed strategies to check your answers and to eliminate wrong answers - that means you SAVE TIME! Pay a little extra for this if you are serious about Law School. As for a Kaplan book? I got suckered into it over this book, at first. The comparison? Take your Kaplan book and use it as a coaster or kindling in the fireplace. Kaplan is useless.

The best book written on the subject April 29, 2008
This is the best book written on the subject of LR ever! This guy have put more thought into this subject than any other author on the market. I highly recommend this book and the logic bible for prepping for the LSAT. Skip the expensive LSAT companies like TESTMASTERS, Kaplan and PR, this book is way more comprehensive and so much cheaper than paying over $1000 dollars for the classes. I had to go over the book twice just to absorb all the information given in the book.
for the analytical problem solver March 5, 2008

This was the first book that gave me the breakdown of each type of logic reasoning problem set. It allows you to understand the type of logic reasoning/question being presented so that you may immediately begin to eliminate certain answers. This analysis will in other instances, let know what answer to look for based on the type of logic reasoning and/or question.
For those of you looking for known shortcuts to understanding question types, then this book is for you. This is how I have come to do well, by knowing the shortcuts and secrets that would normally take a team of people to create.
If you have a natural gift for distinguishing types of questions already, then you may find this book tedious and over detailed.
Great Study Guide to the LSAT January 7, 2008
PowerScore's tips have been far more helpful to me than any of Kaplan's material. I always felt that timing was my biggest problem, but now that I know the LR problem types inside and out (thanks to this book!), limited timing is no longer a big issue for me.
The material is also presented very logically throughout the book. PowerScore organizes the problem types in such a way that the skills you need to solve, say, Parallel Reasoning problems build off of knowing how to solve Method of Aurgument problems, so the chapter on Parallel Reasoning follows Method of Argument. In Kaplan's books, they introduce what they call "Inference" questions as one of the last topics, whereas in PowerScore, they introduce the same problem type (dubbed "Must Be True") first--which makes a lot more sense.
The only downfall is that if you feel you only need help on one question type, you probably need to read an earlier chapter to get the most benefit. But, seriously, even if you don't think you need help on "easy" problem types like Weaken questions, I guarantee that PowerScore will teach you something about attacking those problems that you might have overlooked otherwise.
I would highly recommend this book! Your score will definitely improve.
