Kaplan LSAT Advanced: Your Only Guide to a 180 (Kaplan LSAT 180)

This will be a very good study tool for some students and it will depend on what you hope to achieve from using it.

What this book is:
This book is a collection of what Kaplan believes are the more difficult questions that have been used on previous lsat exams. To the best of my knowledge, they are exactly word for word and the book contains only real lsat questions. In each of the three sections, questions as posed and followed by a brief explanation as to why the right answer is correct and the others wrong.

What this book is NOT:
You will not find strategies outlined in this book. Kaplan expects you to be well versed in being able to deduce the correct answer. In a number of the question explanations the author will state that this answer choice failed the "so and so test" and is therefor not correct. For someone like myself who has used the Powerscore books exclusively, these explanations prove pointless.

Major Problems:...Read more

This book is useless since the answers/explanations do not line up with the questions meaning you can work through questions only to read explanations from who knows what other questions. This book actually might lower your score if you work through it and confuse the wrong answers like it suggests. It appears that the editor copied and pasted from past books but got many of the answers mixed up, especially on the logical reasoning section. I would hope that this book would be pulled from stores and refunds given to those who bought it. I have had this problem with other Kaplan products too. I think they make horrible books so people will have a deflated since of what score they might get in order to trick people to take their classes to boost their "low" scores.
