The Official LSAT Superprep II

When I first took a partial LSAT at civil affairs selection at Camp McCall, it kicked my a*s. I’ve always breezed through tests: as a junior I made a 30 on the ACT and never retook it, and I made a 99 on the ASVAB. But when I went to take the LSAT years after going to selection, I knew I was in danger of letting my older brother beat me on a test for the first time. This book taught me to beat the logic puzzles, which are the real challenge on the LSAT. Ended up scoring a 161 after just three days of studying. Not an elite score, but plenty good enough for a scholarship at the school I was trying to get into.

This is a good starting book for someone who never picked up the exam or knows what he/she is doing. I used this as my starter book to understand what the test questions are and get familiar with the test itself. This is the real deal so you cant go wrong. Keep in mind Kaplan, Princeton Review books are exams made by the company and not the LSAC itself. I would first buy this book then buy the testing company's books to practice more. Then buy the old LSAC actually exams to know how you will do on the real deal. There are a limited number of old actual exams out and a lot more testing company mock exams so practice on the mock exams.

I would say that "good" condition was a bit of a stretch. However, the 'good' relative to the price is accurate is 100% more than acceptable.

Doesnt give any strategy to the test like other help materials but does give background to how questions are asked and their specific expectations for answers and gives actual lsats.

I've found this book to be a pretty good resource. They give background on all the question types you may find on the LSAT and suggestions for how to approach them. They include examples from previous tests and explanations for the answers. The book includes 3 previously administered LSATs with detailed explanations for the answers. Unfortunately, they are a bit older, so they don't have comparative reading questions. There is one example included with the background section though. Overall, I think this book is very helpful in familiarizing yourself with the LSAT, learning useful strategies, and getting practice taking actual tests.

This book it pretty good if you're looking for only one book to prepare for the LSAT. It has general strategies for each section that are useful, but students that spend more than a few days studying will find it inadequate. This is a great introduction to the other test preparation books that are category specific (reading comprehension, logic games, logical reasoning). With just three actual tests, this is just a beginner book--great if that's all you want, but maybe unnecessary for those looking to prepare over a few weeks/months.

The best way to study for the LSAT is with actual tests. Superprep II has these; unlike the first Superprep, this one only has one previously disclosed exam. The first Superprep had three February exams (typically not released). Superprep II has PrepTest 62 (December 2010) and PrepTest 63 (June 2011). Both of these exams are available in 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests Volume V: PrepTests 62 through 71. If you are on a limit budget just get the 10 Actual, Official Volume V. For about the same price you get 10 exams instead of three. Don't buy Superprep II if you have already purchased Vol V. Unless you want to spend $20-30 for one more prep test it is not worth the money.

I have read all of the Power Score books and some other LSAT prep books and I find that this one has been the easiest to understand. Maybe because I have read so many other LSAT books but in regards to explanations this book seems to be the most articulate. You get to do three practice tests and get explanations for each question. This book is not as expensive as some of these other books. Good buy in my opinion.
