Summary: dry and mediocre
Comment: I bought several prep books because I was studying on my own without taking a course, and I would not recommend this book as a comprehensive prep book. Explanations were dry, and the amount of text on the page made it difficult to slog through all the material. I did not find the book to offer any particularly helpful strategies on any of the sections. In fact, as the "official" prep book, all the verbage sounded very "official" and LSAT-like to be of much help. When I'm studying for a test, I'm not looking for something that sounds written by the testmakers, but something that will really break down each section and give me solid strategies and answer-solving skills. I would recommend Nova's prep book, as well as any of the PowerScore prep books over this. Even Kaplan, which I did not find that helpful either, would rate above this. The one helpful thing about this book was the use of actual questions from previous LSATs. Taking practice tests is definitely one of the best ways to prep.

Comment: This is a very useful book,I strongly recommend it, always buy the book which made by the people who make the test.

Summary: Your money is better spent on other books
Comment: The suggestions and explanations in this book are very limited. The best part about the book is the exams, but there are many other books out there that also have practice exams and also explain the solutions better. The most frustrating thing about this book is that on the practice exams, some of the answers don't match the questions. It is hard to get a feel for how well you would do on an actual exma when it is impossible to complete the exam fully due to not having answers that have anything to do with the questions. It isn't by design, just a poor job in editing.

Summary: Very Helpful
Comment: I found this LSAT prep book much more helpful then the Kaplan prep book. Very informative and gives you examples from actual LSATs since they write the actual LSAT.
