The book features and explains a detailed methodology for attacking the games section. All aspects of Logic Games are covered, from recognizing game types to diagramming rules to making inferences and answering questions. Entire chapters are devoted to the most advanced game techniques and to time management strategies.
Logic Games are divided into individual types, and a discussion follows that teaches you how to approach each type of Game, and drills are presented to help you apply and understand the techniques. Thereafter, real LSAT logic games are used to illustrate how the techniques apply to real tests. Using real LSAT questions is a must for high-level LSAT preparation, and twenty-one real LSAT logic games are contained in the book. Each logic game is accompanied by a detailed analysis of the game setup and related questions.
The author, Dave Killoran, has nearly 20 years experience teaching the LSAT and has scored in the 99th percentile on a Law Services-administered test.

This review is from: The PowerScore LSAT Logic Games Bible (Paperback) This is the first time I've ever taken the time to write a review for a product, but I couldn't not say something about the quality of the PowerScore books. Let me say, I started preparing for the February 2010 LSAT in December 2009, and I did so by taking a $1300 Kaplan prep course. I scored a 148 on my diagnostic, and my scores with Kaplan never rose above a 153. I often felt as though their explanations weren't thorough, and it seemed as if whenever something was difficult to explain, it was simply labeled as "out of scope" -- not very helpful in understanding why incorrect answers are incorrect. So I took the LSAT in February and got a disappointing, but not surprising, 152. I wanted at least a 156, so I planned to take the June 2010 LSAT, but decided to try a new study method. I'd heard about the Bibles, so I ordered the LG & LR Bibles. Overall, I liked their format. Yes, they are wordy, but they are THOROUGH. I went through them slowly and carefully, especially the...Read more 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful: This is how you crush the logic games, By Chris (New York, NY) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: The PowerScore LSAT Logic Games Bible (Paperback) Go ahead and take an official LSAT logic games section. Don't worry about the time, just try finish the entire thing with brute force if you have to. If this was your first time and you finished the section under 35 min with only a few incorrect then your best bet is to keep doing official practice games until you're consistently where you want to be. This book won't be as helpful to you because you're a freak and I hope you're not in my class. If you were like me and were able to finish the section with only a couple incorrect, but it took you an hour, then this book is golden and if you follow the instructions, you'll be acing these sections with minutes to spare. Yes. If you couldn't finish the section or it took you hours, then this book will also help you enormously. --- Most of the 1 star reviews claim that this book is confusing and causes test takers to waste too much time and energy on the perfect set up and not on...Read more 18 of 20 people found the following review helpful:  A little brevity would've went a long way., By This review is from: The PowerScore LSAT Logic Games Bible (Paperback) Instead of typing a paragraph, I'll do a bullet point review to make this review more readable.
Pros of this Book * A lot of good information can be had here if you're willing to read * Very useful info on proper diagramming techniques * The drills throughout the chapters help with learning the application of techniques * The organization is excellent in this book. The most common game types are at the front of the book while the more obscure game types are in towards the back of the book * The drill explanations are detailed. The most important thing to do is to look over drills/questions and learn why answers are correct or incorrect and where you messed up if you got a question wrong. Cons of this Book * The author at times wrote too much to make a simple point. It can be daunting to read due to the needless text making the reader want to skim * This book is expensive, so one has to budget carefully to make room...Read more |
