This book makes it seem as though we will be getting 10 RECENT LSAT preptests, including the NEW Lsat preptests. Instead, I received this book, published in August 2007, mind you, that has preptests from June 1996- June 1999!

So, can someone explain to me why exactly this is titled 10 MORE, when I've just received 10 Previous!?

Preparing for the LSAT? You definitely must get one of these books from the Law School Admission Council. I would recommend getting at least the most recent collection of 10 (bang for buck) and perhaps purchasing an individual recent test or two from their website.

best preparation is just taking test after test
the books that try to explain different strategies are, i think, confusing

Get this book only if you are serious about pursing a career in Law. It is a great book to help you prepare for the LSAT. Very Informative

This book is exactly what it says it is, 10 official LSATs. As of 01/03/2007 it is the newest compilation of LSATs (you can purchase newer ones individual but for the steep cost of $8 a test). Good for practice test and timing yourself. Only drawback is that the distribution for some of the earlier tests isn't current/accurate, so when you get to the later tests you have to miss less questions to get the same score. But I'd definitely recommend this book as a supplement to the introductory LSAT books, so after you know what to expect, practice with this book

First, if you are planning on taking the LSAT, you need to have this book. You need to have any LSAT test ever published, and you need to go over every question carefully to understand why the correct answer is correct, and why the incorrect answer is incorrect. From this you can find patterns of how you take the test and how you can improve your methods. You should do this regardless of how you are preparing for the test, though most courses *should* help you do this.

Be warned, however, that the tests in this book are from an older format. Tests 39-52 (52 is given in Feb 07) were changed so that the Analytical Reasoning (AR) games were easier, and the Reading Comprehension (RC) and Logical Reasoning sections became more difficult. My score on these older tests ranged from 6-10 points higher than my score on the newer tests because I am good at the AR section. So don't expect the score on these exams to accurately reflect your score on a recent test. Don't let that stop you from taking these tests. You need all the practice you can get, and if you're not as good at the AR games, practicing on the tougher old ones will definitely help you for the exam.

Starting with test 53 (June 07) they will be changing the fomrat of the RC section so that one of the four readings is a compare and contrast excercise between two shorter readings. How this will affect the score curve and the difficulty of the other sections is unclear. See the LSAC website for more details.

Good luck!

The best way to prepare for the LSAT is to take practice tests to familiarize yourself with the form and types of questions you'll see on the actual test. This book consists of 10 tests actual previous administed tests, complete with everything but the ungraded experimental section you'll see on the real LSAT, answer sheets, and information for scoring yourself. I found this book and the most recent version essential to my test prep.

This helps prepare you but doesn't give tips or anything. I'd buy these types of books in combination with others designed to explain how the LSAT questions are asked, etc. Powerscore is the best by far in that area.

I didn't think it mattered which practice tests I got. As it turns out, many of the practice lessons in the other books were duplicated from earlier tests. So... the more recent the better, I'd say.

I used this book for the DULSAT TEST, some of the questions were almost identical to what they used on this test for entry into Deakin UNI Law School.
The questions are hard, but are very similar to the style of questions you will get law school admissions test for Australian Universities.

You should only buy this book if you're planning to take 20-30 PrepTests before you take the real LSAT. You should make all of the most recent preptests (39+ are currently available in individual test booklets) and "The Next 10 Actual, Official LSAT Preptests" (29-38) a higher priority than this book.

This book contains modern LSATs (post December 1995). Even though the tests are from the last 10 years, or so, 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 and it's cost effective.

This book contains:
PrepTest 19; June 1996
PrepTest 20; October 1996
PrepTest 21; December 1996
PrepTest 22; June 1997
PrepTest 23; October 1997
PrepTest 24; December 1997
PrepTest 25; June 1998
PrepTest 26; September 1998
PrepTest 27; December 1998
PrepTest 28; June 1999

If this bood did not fall apart at the binder so easily, I would have rated it with 5 stars. The publisher needs to put more glue in the binding or something to keep the pages from falling apart. Other than that, it is a must for studying for the LSAT.

No hype or pizzazz. Just actual tests that can be used for practice. You supply the stopwatch.

I won't write anything about how I studied or otherwise prepared for the LSAT. I will say this, because no other reviews have mentioned it: The binding is not the best quality. My book fell apart after taking the first test. Still, it is a good selection of real LSAT exams, and provides ample opportunity to practice.

The problems I have found with this book is some of the exams and the questions are the same as in the previous book. Additionally, I have found a couple of flaws in the games section (I feel bad for the actual test takers and worry about my upcoming exam). For example, on page 203 question 8 ask you "If Norton is scheduled for the fifth performance, which one of the following is true? Per the requirements "Lalitha performs third only if Norton performs fifth." The answer to this question is "C - Lalitha is scheduled for the fourth performance." SAY WHAT??? This goes completely against the requirement rule. This isn't the first error I have come across. In addition, I found the wording of the question stems to be different as oppose to the previous book. So the question is which method are they using? Overrall is it a good book? Sure, since it is the actual exams. BUT God help all of us who are taking this exam. I can only hope that the testmakers know what they are doing with the present exams. It is hard to compare since I have not had the opportunity to see any exam after 1999.

This Book is great with 10 whole tests. It doesn't explain why you got something wrong, but still a great way to simulate an actual LSAT test.

I splurged and bought all three of the big books in the Law School Admission Council's "10 Actual, Official LSAT" series. (The first is "10 Actual, Official LSAT", followed by "10 More Actual, Official LSAT Preptests" and most recently "10 Next Actual, Official LSAT Preptests"). All three books contain offcially released, actual LSATs. All are great for practicing for the real thing. One might argue, however, that by default, "10 Next Actual, Official LSAT Preptests (ISBN: 0942639898) is now the one to buy, simply because the tests are newer and therefore are more likely to reflect LSAC's latest thinking on question format and difficulty. Other reviewers have suggested that the LSAT seems to be recycling the structure, if not the precise problems, of so-called logic games from older tests. So it probably pays to buy this or one or both of the older test collections too, provided you have the time to study that many tests. One wonders why logic games are so important a part of this test, when every lawyer I know says they are unlike they type of legal reasoning they employ in their practice of law. But as long as they stay there, if you want to do well on the test you have to, quite literally, "play the game."

This book contains the actual administrations of the LSAT (Tests 19-28, inclusive); very useful for timed, full-length mock tests to conduct on your own.

Post-LSAT update: I scored a 174 (99.3 percentile) using this as prep. What more recommendation do you need?
***********
This book was the single most helpful tool in preparing for the LSAT. I began with Kaplan's LSAT prep book, which was a good introduction to how to approach the test. However, the Kaplan sample tests were not good representations of the actual tests, since they contained some mistakes and poorly formulated questions, they were in some ways more difficult. I used the 10 More Actual LSAT tests along with the most recently released tests (which you can buy individually).

I used the 10 More Actual LSAT tests along with the most recently released tests (which you can buy individually).

In training for the LSAT, I used only official preptests sold by LSAC. Many past reviewers recommended studying multiple books, like those available by Kaplan or Princeton Review. I have found that Kaplan and other study aides add to the confusion many test takers experience, and Kaplan even admits that its study guides do not help 40% of those who buy the books.

If you want to do well on the LSAT, this is the way to study:

Your first purchase should the 10 More Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests. The PrepTest book will give several of real LSATs to take, though without question analysis. All of the answers are given, but they are not explained. I find this to be a bonus, because I believe that a test taker can learn more from figuring out why the answer is what is, instead of just going by the problematical answers Kaplan gives. Kaplan's answers have a tendency to be too long and lack an accurate answer. It is similar to when a person is talking but they are not really saying anything.

Just getting used to taking the test is the most important part of the preparation process. If you finish all ten tests, get the older 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests.

DO NOT buy Kaplan's LSAT 180. It is full of the toughest questions that KAPLAN could MAKE UP. These questions are so bogus that they lowered everyone in my study group's score: we all had scores over 170 before this book. On one page, Kaplan gave two complete different explanations for two questions that were the exact same type of question. Kaplan's answers to MADE UP questions are lacking judgment. Kaplan is simply too lazy to buy official questions.

Also, both www.LSAC.org and Amazon have individual PrepTests available for $8 each. Get the latest tests: these aren't a good buy like the books of ten, but seeing the most up to date material - even if it's just 1 or 2 tests - is worth it. If you are not in a hurry, you can get the tests free of shipping from LSAC, and they have the MOST RECENT tests, while Amazon tends to lack the two most recent tests.

Specifically, get the June 2000 (PrepTest 31) exam. This contains the notorious "CD Game," the second game, which is commonly considered the most complicated LSAT logic game ever.

BUT...

If you REALLY want to, go ahead and pay in the thousands for a LSAT class prep course, like those offered by Kaplan and Princeton Review. I do not suggest doing that, but confidence is essential for acing the LSAT. If you feel that taking an over-priced prep course will boast your self-assurance, feel free to do so.

If you intend to attend law school, you must take the LSAT. The score you receive on the LSAT is the single most important factor in your choice of schools. You must take as many practice tests as possible before you take the actual LSAT. Buy this book.

I purchased this book and the original 10 Real LSATS. Honestly, I only finished the original 10 Real LSATS. I became swamped with too many LSAT questions. If you feel as if you need a lot of practice by all means purchase both books or you can purchase just one. They are both Real LSAT exams that were previously administered. They contain actual grid sheets and everything except for the 5th experimental section. If you want to practice by using the 5th e. section having both books might come in handy because you could do one complete exam in one book (4 sections) and then add one section from the other book to make 5 sections. At least purchase one of the books so you can get a real feel for the exam.

There is no substitute for taking real, timed, practice LSATs. It is simply the best way to prepare for the real thing. My study plan was two part: First, I paid the big bucks for an LSAT class. Second, I studied real tests every day out of this and its companion book. While the class was great, I found that simply studing all of the material on the real test was by far the most useful thing I did (not to mention that it cost a lot less). These books are simply a must have to prepare well and I recomend them to everyone. In my case, they helped me score in the mid 170s.
