As a professional LSAT tutor/blogger in NYC, I can say that you'll need more than these explanations to gain a strong understanding of evidence/conclusion. Of course, no book of explanations like this one can teach you how to diagram effectively either.

if u take the LSAT and you get confused, it would realy help you during your study for LSAT.

I found the explanations in this book lacking, unlike Kaplan and Powerscore where they give specific reasons to why one shouldn't choose an answer or why one is correct, this guide pretty much seemed very novice. On top of that, there were numerous mistakes and typos where the book would list an answer but then when reading the descriptions for each answer option it would indicate the answer as something completely different. The Logic Game portion of this book is very confusing, it doesn't set up the problems very well.
This book isn't a total waste, but the small mistakes here and there were so unnecessary especially when paying attention to detail on the LSAT is imperative. So far Powerscore guides are the best for your money. I suggest if you have a budget stay away from this book.

This book is a supplement to "The Next 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests". It provides explanations for the answers to the test.



It is an improvement over the previous "LSAT Answers" book by GetPrepped. The answers in "Explained" are laid out in a more visually pleasing way than before (it used to be an unformatted paragraph of info). The explanations are decent for LR and RC, but the way they deal with AR doesn't fit with my methods and some of their diagrams are a little too difficult to follow. There are the usual typos but I've been pleasantly surprised to find that they don't resort to saying an answer is right or wrong "just because". There were a lot of major reasoning mistakes in the "LSAT Answers" but I haven't found anything of significance in "LSAT Explained".



I don't think you're wasting money on the book, but I don't think GetPrepped's explanations are of the same caliber as what I've seen of Kaplan and possibly Princeton Review.



If you get this book you'll want to try to figure out why you got a question wrong before you turn towards "Explained" for explanations. Personally, I wouldn't want my understanding of the LSAT or the individual questions to hinge on this book but it is a decent supplement for thinking in greater depth and getting another perspective on the questions.
