Best LSAT books/study guides?
Which books/materials would you recommend or advise against?
As far as study and guide books, these were the three best prep books I used:
1. Powerscore LSAT Logic Games Bible (http://www.powerscore.com )
2. Powerscore LSAT Logical Reasoning Bible
3. Kaplan LSAT 180 (http://www.kaplan.com )
You will also need actual tests to practice with, so get them from Law Services (the people who make the test and who are behind http://www.lsat.com ). These are the three cheapest ones, each is $30:
4. The Next 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests
5. 10 More Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests
6. 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests
If you work through the first three books, you would be in pretty good shape in terms of strategies, and then do a ton of the tests from the second group of books. Try to take at least one test a week if you can. The only real trick to studying is to put in a lot of hours and to take a lot of practice tests. Getting familiar with the test format and your own strengths and weaknesses will make you as comfortable as possible on test day.
As far as what to avoid, Arco was my least favorite LSAT prep book. It was really outdated.
If the self-study approach doesn't get you where you need to be, either take a prep course or get personal tutoring. The prep course is going to be cheaper than tutoring, but tutoring is more focused. Try the self-studying approach above first--you might save some serious money. Good luck!
