 LSAT Preparation - #2 most important set of tests you'll buy November 27, 2005
103 out of 104 found this review helpful
If you only take 10 PrepTests before the real LSAT, these shouldn't be the tests you take. Get the newest tests you can beginning with PrepTest 39. They aren't yet sold in a book, so you'll be buying individual test booklets. If you have time to finish all of those then add this book.
It contains modern LSATs (post December 1995). Even though the tests are newer you'll still notice some slight variation between these tests and the real LSAT you'll take. That said, it's an excellent study aid, it's cost effective, and it's easier to order than a bunch of seperate tests.
This book contains:
PrepTest 29; October 1999
PrepTest 30; December 1999
PrepTest 31; June 2000
PrepTest 32; October 2000
PrepTest 33; December 2000
PrepTest 34; June 2001
PrepTest 35; October 2001
PrepTest 36; December 2001
PrepTest 37; June 2002
PrepTest 38; October 2002
 THE LATEST and the MOST REPRESENTATIVE LSATs August 20, 2004
60 out of 63 found this review helpful
In a fit of compulsiveness, I bought all three of the Law School Admission Council's "10 AO LSAT" books. (The first is "10 AO LSATS", followed by "10 More AO LSATs" and now this, "10 Next AO LSATs."). All three books contain offcially released, actual LSATs. However, if only buying one, I would say that this is the best choice. The tests are newer; moreover, it seems to me that the "games and "logic" sections of the current LSAT, though ostensibly the same as when first introduced in 1994, have been made slightly easier. If you just read the first book, you may be needlessly scared and discouraged. With this book and to a lesser extent the second book, you will at least not have unjustified anxiety. This is still a TOUGH test, but but no longer quite the nightmare it was back in the mid 90s.
Used all three AO books - glad I didn't skip this one October 24, 2004

My LSAT prep consisted of doing pretty much every practice test from all three of the AO books, as well as skimming Kaplan LSAT 180. It was an insanely boring way to prepare, but I was satisfied with my results, so I suppose it was worth it. ;) I did the tests in chronological order, figuring that it was best to save for last the tests which most resembled the one I would be taking for real.
This may just be a function of the order in which I took the practice tests, but I found the games in this book harder than the games in the previous two. In fact, I was pretty freaked out by the fact that my scores on the games section started dropping as I made my way into book 3.
The games in this book are slightly different from the ones in the others, and I think I would have been surprised by the games on the real test if I hadn't bought this book as well as the other two. I had learned how to do the old ones, but the new ones threw me a bit. Luckily, I got familiar with the newer types of games, which enabled me to solve them on the real test.
Doing all of the practice tests (older and newer) worked best for me. But if you only have a couple of weeks to study rather than a few months, my advice would be to focus on the newer ones, or at least to do a mixture of the older and newer ones. Good luck! :)
The most valuable LSAT study tool June 23, 2005
32 out of 33 found this review helpful
This packet is the newest of three such packets released by LSAC, and is invaluable to anyone studying for the LSAT. I highly recommend avoiding at all costs any practice test that is not real LSAT released by LSAC; the practice tests manufactured by Kaplan, Barron's, Princeton Review and the like tend to be over-simplified, and often have little in common with the actual LSAT.
Although I recommend taking as many practice LSATs as humanly possible in preparation for the real thing, if you are short on time, get this packet instead of the previous two. The test has changed a lot over the years, and in most instances, has become more difficult; I find scoring 178 on a test from the mid-nineties to be less challenging than scoring a 170 on a test from last year.
It is true that this packet simply contains past LSATs with their answer keys, and no explanation for why the right answer is the right answer. Unless you feel as extremely unfamiliar with the types of questions on the LSAT, however, that there are no explanations is probably a plus: figuring out why your answer to a question was wrong is actually more valuable than simply getting the question right. Having another book handy which explains the test and question types--I recommend Kaplan's--is extremely beneficial, though.
And good luck to all future LSAT takers!
Ten most recently release LSATs from previous years December 1, 2004
18 out of 19 found this review helpful
All this book is is ten old LSAT tests and answer keys. There is a short description of the test at the begining of the book, but no study materials other than the tests and keys. And no explanations of why answers are correct. If you have looked at a sample LSAT test then you already know that learning facts is not going to help. The test mostly goes on logic and uses puzzles and short questions to test your logic. There is also a reading comprehension section. So studying isn't a big issue because there is nothing to memorize. However taking practice tests will familiarize you with the test and reaquaint you with the standardized test not seen since highschool. So this is an excellent way to prepare for the LSAT.
I recommend getting one of these packages of ten LSAT tests or a triple pack. I have looked through other study books at the bookstore and I don't feel that they are that helpful: Practice tests tend to be dumbed down compared to old LSATs and the study strategies laid out in the books I looked through were not that profound. In terms of having an explanation of why an answer is correct it may be better to just look at the question and the correct answer and figure it out for yourself. This way you are thinking through things as you will when you are actually taking the test. (If you want explanations of answers then LSAC also puts out triple preps, in which some of the answers are explained. The cost per test for the triple preps is comparable here.)
Basically here you are getting 10 old LSATS and answer keys. There are also two other similar books (10 Actual Official LSATS and 10 More Actual, Official LSATs). Out of the three this one (Next 10 Actual, Official LSATS) is most recent, so if you are only getting one then get this one.
