Manhattan LSAT Set of 3 Strategy Guides

Product Review

Manhattan LSAT takes a fresh and innovative approach to the LSAT by featuring techniques geared toward students aiming for top scores. Our guides are true course materials, created and field-tested by the best teachers in the business.

Included in this all-in-one set are books devoted to the test’s three sections: Logical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, and Logic Games.

The Logical Reasoning Strategy Guide (9781935707110) teaches the essential strategies you’ll need to understand the questions while also arming you with the skills needed to pick apart the answer choices. Avoiding an unwieldy and ineffective focus on memorizing sub-categories and steps, this guide instead reveals what top-scorers actually do, encouraging a more streamlined approach that engages and improves your natural critical-thinking skills.

The Reading Comprehension Strategy Guide (9781935707127) goes well beyond the standard approach to reading comprehension. It trains you to approach the LSAT as a law student would approach a legal text, actively and with a purpose, leading you to faster and more effective reading. Furthermore, you’ll learn how the LSAT creates tricky wrong answers so that you’re better equipped to avoid them.

The Logic Games Strategy Guide (9781935707134) is oriented towards the latest trends in LSAT logic games, making it truly cutting-edge. The logic games are neatly organized into different game types, and a strategy for approaching each type is presented, followed by drills designed to encourage mastery of the diagram system and the typical inferences for that game type. While arming students with a comprehensive system, this guide encourages a flexible approach that allows students to adapt to whatever curveballs the LSAT throws at them.

Special features include online access to class recordings, online learning labs, and a downloadable study guide and progress-tracking tool.

This review is from: Manhattan LSAT Set of 3 Strategy Guides (Paperback)

I took the LSAT twice during my senior year of college, scoring 166 on both tests. I had done about a month and a half of self-prep before each of these administrations, and used the Powerscore Bible series along with practice tests. I frequently post on top-law-schools.com and several users thought that Manhattan series was great, so I decided to try the reading comp guide (which was my weakest section). I created a study group on TLS, and Manhattan's managing director got a hold of me, asking if I'd be interested in having a free online room where my fellow studiers and I could meet to work on prep together. He also decided to send me a copy of each of the books without asking me to pay.

The Logic Games guide is really solid. It breaks down the game types into general categories, so that if you get a weird game type, you can still attack it within one (or more) of these constructs. While some of Powerscore's methods are as good as Manhattan's, they are not better, and...Read more

This review is from: Manhattan LSAT Set of 3 Strategy Guides (Paperback)

I have been studying for the LSAT on and off for about two years and could not find a prep book or online tool that produced results and KEPT MY ATTENTION. This book has done both. It is easy to focus on, the methods explained come naturally, and it basically saved me from being stuck in the mid-160s. If you are a serious applicant, trying to prep, and can't find a book that actually makes you want to study -- buy this series and it will not let you down. I've never wanted to or tried to prepare for standardized tests before and have taken many. This book makes it easy and interesting, and really helped me stay focused and learn the key to the LSAT.

BUY THEM.

This review is from: Manhattan LSAT Set of 3 Strategy Guides (Paperback)

I used the Manhattan Guides coupled with their online program and I highly recommend it. I had been studying on my own with a Princeton Review Book and I found Manhattan to be far superior. All three guides are incredibly in depth and offer strategies that are easy to grasp if you put in the effort and more importantly repeatable. I am currently a senior and I have attended the free workshops that other test prep companies offered on campus and one of the things I noticed amongst some of them was that they advertised little tricks that supposedly would help you. For example, one rep from a test company told us a supposed trick about how to guess the right answer if you ran out of time. What was refreshing and impressive to me about Manhattan is that instead of tricks they emphasize understanding the test and learning good strategies that I quickly became comfortable using, and it gave me much more confidence going into the test. These guides go above and beyond though in the way that...Read more
