Master the LSAT

by Jeff Kolby

Overview

Comprehensive, Rigorous Prep for the LSAT.

To prepare properly for the LSAT, you must study problems that reflect the true LSAT format. The best way to do that is to study actual LSAT tests. Now, you can do that with this book! MASTER THE LSAT contains detailed solutions to numerous actual LSAT questions, carefully selected to illustrate every type of question that has appeared on the test in the past several years, including thorough analysis of 2 official LSATs! These solutions will introduce you to numerous analytic techniques that will help you immensely not only on the LSAT but in law school as well.

The LSAT is an aptitude test. Like all aptitude tests, it must choose a medium in which to measure intellectual ability. The LSAT has chosen logic. Although this makes the LSAT hard, it also makes the test predictable--it is based on fundamental principles of logic. MASTER THE LSAT analyzes and codifies these basic principles: the contrapositive, the if-then, pivotal words, etc. Armed with this knowledge, you will have the ability to greatly increase your score.

Features:

* Analytical Reasoning: Learn powerful diagramming techniques and step-by-step strategies to solve every type of game question that has appeared on the LSAT.

* Logical Reasoning: Discover the underlying simplicity of these problems and learn the principles of logic these questions are based on.

* Reading Comprehension: Develop the ability to spot places from which questions are likely to be drawn as you read a passage. (pivotal words, counter-premises, etc.)

* Mentor Exercises: These exercises provide hints, insight, and partial solutions to ease your transition from seeing LSAT problems solved to solving them on your own.

* Complete analysis of 2 official LSATs.

* Official score conversion charts and writing samples for each test.

* The average LSAT scores of 153 ABA approved law schools.

Also includes LSAT test prep software!

What People are Saying About This

George Braxton

Master The LSAT is the best LSAT prep book on the market. This book is the most rigorous approach to the LSAT I have encountered. I have referred it to a number of individuals who had not scored well on the test after taking expensive review courses and about 90% of them experienced solid improvements in their scores. Most found it a much more sophisticated approach to the LSAT than is usually offered by prep courses or other prep books. However, I have suggested it only to serious, disciplined studiers, as it requires more dedication to "work" the book than to listen to instructors.

Editorial Reviews

The best of of its kind.

I bought the three best-known LSAT test prep books. I was in despair over taking the LSAT after working through other two, but this one really worked. Buy Master the LSAT and a pile of practice exams from LSAC. I followed the opening instructions to start my prep 12 weeks ahead of my test date, working a little each day (if you aren't self-motivated enough to do that, please forget law school). I have no doubt that this book is responsible for my good LSAT score and admittance to law school.

I've read nearly all of them. This one is truly the best.

I took the Kaplan course, and I read Cracking the LSAT from Princeton Review, and I sincerely believe that this book is the best preparation tool money can buy. They REALLY get in-depth on Logic Games, and help show how the test-makers try to trick you on Logical Reasoning. Also, unlike other books, this one uses questions from actual previous tests. I scored in the 99th %-tile, and while there is no substitute for practice with several previous exams, I give large credit to this book for my success.
