 Rating:  - Studying from this book will only stress you outI received a copy of LSAT 180 for Christmas last year. My parents got it for me because they knew that I was in the process of preparing for taking the LSAT this year. I just took the LSAT on Saturday, and I am happy to say that I feel confident that I did well. However, I give this book NO credit for my success. I think that most LSAT takers struggle with the logic games section the most. After you practice them for awhile, they become a lot easier. The whole principle of this book is that you will ... Read More Rating: - Helps with uber-questions but not relevant for many takers.This book contains several challenging LSAT-type questions but keep two things in mind. 1. All "180" questions are created by Kaplan and therefore not exactly like what you would find in the LSAT. Whether or not they would be the same is open to argument but I find most Kaplan stuff different somehow. If you don't, then this should not be an issue. 2. Many of the questions types that are covered in this book are rare and isolated so your chance of seeing them on a test is ... Read More Rating:  - Worked for meI took the Feb. 2002 LSAT and studied only this book in addition to taking two or three practice LSATs. For what it's worth, from my initial baseline practice LSAT, my scored jumped 14 points into the 99th percentile when I took the real thing. That strategy may not work for everyone, but I had a pretty good understanding of LSAT testing concepts going in, and I am a good self studier. The thing I liked was after studing in this bookf or 2 months, the real LSAT questions seemed a LOT easier. Rating:  - Fake questions, confusing explanations, smug attitudeThis book is yet another reason to avoid Kaplan when preparing for the LSAT. The fake logic games questions, designed to mimic real ones, are unrealistic, confusing, and poorly conceived. I have done over 20 real LSAT PrepTests, and the ones in this Kaplan book are a cheap imitation that would not prepare a test taker in any valuable way. Furthermore, their fake logical analysis section is equally weak, and worst of all, they take a smug, know-it-all attitude throughout the book, instead ... Read More Rating: - The faux-LSAT questions in this book are not helpful.After using the PowerScore books, which use genuine LSAT questions, it was difficult to use this book, whose questions are a poor imitation of those on the LSAT. Also unlike the PowerScore books, the explanations also do not make good use of diagrams. Only purchase this book if you've run out of LSAT material to practice with. Otherwise, avoid at all costs.
