Summary: Excellent For All Who Are Considering Law School 2008-12-12
Comment: Linda Ashar does a phenomenal job showcasing thee LSAT test and telling you the best way to get an excellent score. The book opens by going into great detail as to the test and all of the components which go along with it. The author also discusses law school and what you can expect there. Ashar describes the LSAT's format and what every test section is designed to accomplish. She reveals many very helpful study programs and goes through a detailed timeline. This explains when you should take the test and apply for law school. Also, the book is great if you are unsure of what to expect when you get to law school. This is because Ashar outlines law school's class structure and what you should expect during your first year.
This book also has a very well detailed prep plan which Ashar recommends that you follow before taking the test. Ashar goes through where to do test prep work, how to do test prep work, and the frequency with which you should do test prep. Even things that you may not have thought are covered of such as what you should eat or how you should breathe while testing or even unique ways to reduce your pre-test stress levels.
But, the tips on how to take the test are by far the most helpful parts of the book. Ashar does a wonderful job of giving a future test taker inside knowledge on the way in which they should take this extremely important test. Techniques like first answering the easy questions before doing the harder ones are described and explained. Another really beneficial section of the book discusses why many times the right answer usually has the most information. And, there are tons of other really helpful techniques. All through the book there is excellent information on how to defeat this formidable test. Therefore, whoever out there that is thinking about becoming a lawyer and planning to go to law school should read and utilize the valuable information that is housed inside this book.

Summary: Great guidebook to health and happiness during LSAT-studies 2008-12-05
Comment: Linda Ashar, a practicing attorney, refers to a newspaper article in her opening statement that describes the LSAT as "one of the most grueling admissions test in the world." This much is obvious. The question, however, is whether or not her book stands out from the thousands of other LSAT prep. books that return from an Amazon.com search.
One aspect that stands out immediately is that instead of simply giving practice questions (although she offers many of these), Ashar teaches one how to think like a lawyer, instead. She gives lists of keywords that will be a test-taker's clues in reading and answering questions about any court argument. She gives great guidance in the section on critical thinking and analogies. Another thing Ashar offers is a chapter that details pre-test preparations - from health to relaxation to information retention.
Finally, after the practice questions and great case studies of students, lawyers and teachers who have taken the test previously and offer their own anecdotes and advice, Ashar ends on the note that no one book or routine will prepare you for a successful test. That said, this book could certainly help.
