Summary: Nice looking book, but no results on actual test
Comment: Unfortunately, I would not recommend this book as a way of improving your score on the LSAT. Despite the fact it gives a nice assortment of practice questions, where it lacks is in developing a strategy to pass the actual LSAT test. I studied over a 6 month period using this book, and did just about every question. My practice results rarely rose above more than 50% correct, minus reading comprehension which I did well, usually 75% correct. Overall, just not a good way to improve score or pass the test. My score the first time around on the LSAT was 137 using this book, not good. I am not sure if there is something else out there to improve scores, or if it is even possible to improve a score on a test of this nature, but I would not recommend this book to improve scoring. It is too shallow with strategy. I think the writers of the book expect that by repetition and practice, you can master the material, but it did not work for me. The book does offer some basic strategy but this did not help me too greatly.

Summary: Good value for the money
Comment: Has 3 practice test which is a great value, plus I wanted to practice more logical reasoning questions and was curious about the cd. I had a host of problems running it in vista but to be honest I have xp on my other computers so it was really no big deal. But I would just like to warn people that you will have issues in Vista and its not Mac compatible I gave the rating four stars because the application crashed under my Vista laptop midway through which pissed me off. I just finished the logical reasoning section which was helpful.
I would buy this to start studying and order more practice test to study. I feel they should of added more study questions on the logical review but otherwise a great tool to supplement other materials I recommend people do not use this as sole aid though.

Summary: Its okay if you don't need much help
Comment: This book is okay if you're already relatively good with the concepts the LSAT has you do. The software has a couple bugs in it--only a couple. I found I needed a more comprehensive review and ended up going to a real class.

Summary: Kaplan let me down
Comment: I have been a big fan of Kaplan over the years. I used there test materials when preparing for the ACT and AP exams and was able to score a perfect score on the ACT and get college credit for my AP courses. Fast forward a few years, and now I am preparing for law school. So, of course the first thing I turn to is Kaplan. This big is a huge dissapointment. I am an honors english major and was really expecting some help on the analytical and logic sections. However, each section begins with a couple of pages of tips and then some practice. This book does not have in-depth explanations that you would expect from Kaplan. What really tops it all off, is that i finished this book in one week! Now, how much information and testing preparation can really be in a book if it only takes a week to complete? And that includes working dilligently and not just going through the motions!
