Identifying Genuine LSAT Review Book

By Sandy Fe


Students, who are able to graduate from college, find studying and practicing law a good option for them. Such aspirants need to pass LSAT to be accepted in law schools.

LSAT is an acronym for Law School Admission Test. This is a standardized test that is designed to evaluate an aspiring law student's logical, analytical, reading and verbal reasoning skills that are important in the study and practice of law.

One of the best ways for the preparation of LSAT is to purchase LSAT review books as aspirants need long time to prepare for such important test.

There are many LSAT review books which are useless, out of date or published by unauthorized administrators having poor understanding about LSAT.

Here are a few pointers on how to spot LSAT review books that should not be used.

First, a bad LSAT review book uses simulated questions. The real LSAT questions come from Law Services for a fee. An examinee can determine if the book has real LSAT questions if the a notice is printed on the copyright page stating that the tests in the book are actual LSAT questions used with the permission of the Law School Admission Council or LSAC.

In a bad LSAT review book, the author mentions general test strategies rather than giving emphasis to the test items. This just shows that the author does not have a thorough knowledge of the types of questions and the logical concepts surrounding the items.

Another indication of a no-good LSAT review book is that the author spends a lot of time discussing about the Writing Sample of the LSAT. In the real LSAT, the Writing Sample is not scored. It is not a deciding factor in law school admissions. Therefore, only a short discussion about this section is needed.

Another important pointer to a bad LSAT review book is that it will lack on real test topics like conditional reasoning and casual reasoning. Conditional reasoning is thorough discussion of sufficient and necessary conditions that should be taken into consideration in the Logical Reasoning section while discussing cause-and-effect reasoning, is called casual reasoning.

A good review book will not emphasize on use of Venn Diagrams, Family Tree games, numerical system for classifying Logical Reasoning question types and matrices of some sort. Also, reading each question before reading the passage or skimming the passage does not add any good.

Only the LSAT review book with above characteristics should be used and ultimately help to pass through the Tricky test of LSAT.
