Kaplan LSAT 180 2007-2008

I'm not a fan of Kaplan. Their LSAT books and technique are not that great. I would not recommend the Kaplan LSAT Comprehensive nor the Kaplan Logic Games. Instead, I would recommend Princeton Review's Cracking the LSAT instead of the former and Get Prepped's Ace the LSAT Logic Games in place of the latter. However, the Kaplan LSAT 180 is better its Princeton Review adversary, the LSAT Workout.

LSAT 180 provides detailed explanations and some advice for advanced LSAT problems, unlike the LSAT Workout. I'm not saying that I wouldn't recommend the LSAT Workout. Honestly, I think that the LSAT Workout has the most difficult yet accurate LSAT simulation questions out there. But, I think the LSAT Workout is for people who have already mastered the LSAT and are looking to polish up their score. In other words, they are scoring 165-170, but are trying to get closer to that 99th percentile.

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 remote.

It might prove helpful to you if you are already in the 170-180 range and have either completed all of the practice tests, or have become bored with them. Of course, at that range, luck has more to do with getting a 180 than preparation. Unfortunately, if you are testing in the range of 140-165, this book will do little to get you to 180. Your time, and money, would probably be better spent going over the ones you have missed in practice and figure them out.

Kaplan's LAST 180 contains the most difficult questions and answers that are explained well. However, this book is not for beginners, if your looking for something just to get started this book is probably not for you.
