 Highly Useful LSAT Prep Book November 27, 2005
65 out of 67 found this review helpful
This book has some of the most cogent/coherent explanations and general overview of question types that LSAC has ever produced. The explanations are top quality and the overview is good.
The overview reviews some previous LSAT questions and discusses each of the three question types. It totals 40-50 pages of information.
The PrepTests are all February tests, which are not disclosed to test takers and seem to feel different than other LSATs. The explanations are thorough and have some good, general tips on questions.
The book is a little pricey for getting 3 preptests but is worthwhile, especially early on when you're having trouble understanding why you got a question wrong.
Be aware that the book doesn't yield much in the way of really deep strategy work. You'll need to go to one of the prep companies' books for that kind of insight into the LSAT.
The book contains:
SuperPrep A; February 1996
SuperPrep C; February 1999
SuperPrep B; February 2000
Good practice - but also some good advice September 2, 2006

I'm sure everyone knows that there are three preptests in this book. They are from three February exams which are usually undisclosed.
I did find something else in this book that was actually kind of helpful. There really isn't all that much good prescriptive advice on how to do reading comprehension. There are loads of logic games books and every serious LSAT student clearly must have the Logical Reasoning Bible from Powerscore.
However, reading comprehension remains an underserved part of the LSAT and accounts for more of the exam than logic games.
With that said, I found the 15 pages of How to take the Reading Comprehension section to be quite helpful. It was useful to see how the LSAT writers view the section and the proper way to attack it.

At first, I wasted my time with prep materials not written by the LSAC. Many of the questions seemed too easy or too hard. Additionally, many of these materials are plagued with typos, misreads and incorrect arguments. I suppose this is due to them being written by one, or maybe just a few, author(s). In contrast, the LSAT superprep is great. The questions are real LSAT tests from the past and the explanations help greatly. There are no typos I have found yet and the level of questions are much more realistic (actually, they're REAL so they must be realistic :). True, the material might be a bit dull at times but, Hey, that's how the test is anyway. You're not getting this book for entertainment, you're getting it to ace the LSAT. Good luck!
Good book for what it is, wel worth buying September 24, 2005

This book is put out by the LSAC, so it doesn't give you all the tips and tricks you would find in another publication, say Poerscore's LR Bible or AR Bible, but it's still helpful b/c it contains real LSAT questions, answers, and an explanation for each answer. It also provides a good overview of the LSAT and gernal info. concerning the test. Good purchase for LSAT prep, though don't let it be the only book you buy. Get those Powerscore "Bibles" and lots of LSAT prep-tests too.
Outstanding official prep materials from LSAT August 19, 2007

The LSAT is sufficiently idiosyncratic in both the form and substance of its content that studying with anything other than the official, exams released by the LSAT board (LSAC) runs the risk of doing more harm than good. The problem with such advice until recently is that before the release of this book a couple of years ago, none of the official materials provided anything more than an answer key, which could leave you scratching your head about why you got something wrong or how you were supposed to get to the correct answer to begin with. By supplying complete and generally pretty decent explanations for all the questions in the three exams included in this book, as well as providing a useful prefatory section giving specific test taking tips for each section, this book is extremely valuable and I might add long overdue. To be fully prepared, you will probably want to use this book and perhaps one or more of the LSAC's "10 Actual, Official LSAT Prep Tests." If you need extra help on the "games" section (and most people do), you may also wish to purchase the Powerscore LSAT Logic Games Bible, which alone among the non-official LSAT prep books uses actual LSAT questions obtained under license from the LSAC. It should be noted, however, that the LSAT Superprep book also includes strategy tips as well is very good explanations for the LSAT games section, making the once mandatory purchase of the Powerscore Bible optional for some test takers.
