Product Description
Read the reviews for LSAT prep books and you will see that many reviewers make the same recommendation - buy real LSAT tests, specifically "The Next 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests." Unfortunately, "The Next 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests" does not explain why the correct answers are correct and why the wrong answers are wrong. So, if the answer key says (C) is correct, and you don’t understand why, you are out of luck. Also, the "Next 10 LSATs" book gives no advice for how to solve the problems, how to diagram the games, how to eliminate wrong answers, or how to use simple strategies and shortcuts to find the correct answers. "LSAT Explained" solves this problem. It explains all 1010 question in "The Next 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests." It has detailed analysis and contains the vital strategies, techniques, tricks, and tips you need to achieve an excellent score. It reveals the testing patterns that are repeated year after year. Use "LSAT Explained" to learn how to:
Analytical Reasoning Puzzle Games –
Choose and execute the correct diagram (hint, there are only four common diagrams).
Skip the diagramming step for many questions. You will save time, yet still answer them correctly 100% of the time.
Significantly and quickly improve your score in the puzzle games. Logical Reasoning –
Find the correct answer, faster, by identifying the key issues.
Avoid the "red-flag words" that fool most test takers.
Master the three question types that account for 65% of your logical reasoning score. Reading Comprehension –
Read for the only three issues that are tested.
Maximize your efficiency if you are a slow reader. Thousands of Get Prepped classroom students have used these explanations to raise their scores. Now you can get the same time-tested strategies and techniques for the price of this book. If you buy only two LSAT prep books, buy "LSAT Explained" and "The Next 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests."

2.0 out of 5 stars LSAT Explained needs another book to explain itself, October 6, 2007
This review is from: LSAT Explained: Unofficial Explanations for "The Next 10 LSAT PrepTests" (Paperback)
I found the explanations in this book lacking, unlike Kaplan and Powerscore where they give specific reasons to why one shouldn't choose an answer or why one is correct, this guide pretty much seemed very novice. On top of that, there were numerous mistakes and typos where the book would list an answer but then when reading the descriptions for each answer option it would indicate the answer as something completely different. The Logic Game portion of this book is very confusing, it doesn't set up the problems very well.
This book isn't a total waste, but the small mistakes here and there were so unnecessary especially when paying attention to detail on the LSAT is imperative. So far Powerscore guides are the best for your money. I suggest if you have a budget stay away from this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fairly Good LSAT Study Aid, November 27, 2005

This review is from: LSAT Explained: Unofficial Explanations for "The Next 10 LSAT PrepTests" (Paperback)
This book is a supplement to "The Next 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests". It provides explanations for the answers to the test.

It is an improvement over the previous "LSAT Answers" book by GetPrepped. The answers in "Explained" are laid out in a more visually pleasing way than before (it used to be an unformatted paragraph of info). The explanations are decent for LR and RC, but the way they deal with AR doesn't fit with my methods and some of their diagrams are a little too difficult to follow. There are the usual typos but I've been pleasantly surprised to find that they don't resort to saying an answer is right or wrong "just because". There were a lot of major reasoning mistakes in the "LSAT Answers" but I haven't found anything of significance in "LSAT Explained".

I don't think you're wasting money on the book, but I don't think GetPrepped's explanations are of the same caliber as what I've seen of Kaplan and possibly Princeton Review...Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Confusing Explanations - Not Worth Getting, November 22, 2008
This review is from: LSAT Explained: Unofficial Explanations for "The Next 10 LSAT PrepTests" (Paperback)
As a professional LSAT tutor/blogger in NYC, I can say that you'll need more than these explanations to gain a strong understanding of evidence/conclusion. Not only are these explanations confusing, but this book contains content that is also just plain wrong. More harmful than helpful in my opinion. Do not buy.
