Am much better at planning dinner parties now. Thanks PowerScore!

[Lucy]

I hope I never have to look at this book again, even though it was incredibly helpful....

[Olga]

What I learned from this book? Well, I learned a lot, including the fact that I am awful at conditional reasoning. Awful.

Logic games are rather enjoyable. No, really.

[Faith Angelina]

Will I finish my reading challenge this year? No. But I’ve read 1500 pages of LSAT analysis between the two PowerScore books, so best believe they’re getting added to the shelves.

(Prepping for LSAT? The powerscore bibles are required reading if you’re doing self study. I combined with the LSAT Trainer by Mike Kim for a more well-rounded approach. PowerScore breaks down the minutiae for a nuanced understanding of the exam and common pitfalls; the Trainer gives broader strategies. Both are necessary.)

I know this is (ostensibly) the holy grail for logic games but it just did not click for me! I found it overly focused on teaching you the minutiae for each specific question type, rather than a big picture approach of strategies for the section as a whole. Went through the entire book and was still struggling with games until I found a different prep book more suited to my style of learning.

[Dan]

Easily the best explanations of the games that I have read. Some exercises about identifying game types are a little tedious and unnecessary, but overall the book is excellent.

[Sophie Y]

I had to change a few strategies to fit my personal preference, but this book saved my life, watered my plants, and mowed my lawn.

[James]

Good. Nothing insane revelation wise.

[Merima Kadić]

i <3 logic games

[Madeline]

Oddly enough, I think this made me better at math than anything else.

YIPPEE 2/3 THERE

These Powerscore books give a lot of good tips with regards to taking the LSAT, however the amount of information can make the test quite confusing as you're trying to remember all the rules you've learned while at the same time trying to finish the test in the very short time you have to take it.

My advice, invest in books of old tests. Don't bother with anything from the '90's, they'll leave you with a false sense of achievement as the tests became harder as the millenium turned.

If you want methods to use during the test, get this book. However, I think a smarter investment if crunched for time is to buy old tests and become familiar with the speed with which you'll need to complete each question. Timing is almost as critical as solution schemas.

Well-written book and guide to logic games section.. by far the best compilation I have seen yet. It's a bit long and wordy at times, but I still very much enjoyed it. I've marked it as read when in fact I have not yet completed the final review games at the back of the book, but the essential facets of the book have all been covered. I will surely revisit these final sections in the days to come, but I am not yet sure at which date. Regardless, I have learned much from this book, and I will continue to use it as a resource in the days, weeks, and months to come.

I have also ordered the other two books of this trilogy. I respect the format of these books and believe they are great help.

This updated version is an improvement over the original, which was already an incredibly useful tool. There are some changes to the diagramming techniques and some Games that are not used in the first edition. Highly recommend for LSAT prep.

[Vivek]

A comprehensive guide to the different types of logic games in the LSAT's Analytical Reasoning section, including advice on how best to approach different game types, and plenty of games from real, actually administered LSAT exams (with detailed explanations).

[Ke]

The writing of the book was clear, and the explanations useful. I may read it again.

The only downer was the size of the font. I'm sure book could have been as effective if there were two thirds of the number of pages.

[Alexandria Fedewa]

Quite a bit of typos for a book trying to help you get a perfect score on the LSAT. On the other hand, this book was very very helpful and I learned a lot more than I knew before!! Hopefully this reflects on my LSAT score!!

[Bryan]

PowerScore publishes the best LSAT prep materials. Look no further.

[Christopher]

This was very helpful in improving my scores, timing & understanding of logic games.

[Vinay]

Best prep book I came across for logic games. My score shot up after using this.

[Emily]

i can actually do a logic game now. the challenge here is to do one in 8 min 45 sec. my current average time: 20 min. we've got some work to do.

[Kat]

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Now only if my score would match it.
