I have not yet taken the LSAT, I've actually gone on a different path, but I did purchase this book when I was considering Law School and the book has a lot of practice tests in it which are very helpful.

I've always used past practice exams as my primary study aids, from the SAT to AP to GRE. So I find these 10 exams (from Oct. 1999 to Oct. 2002) pretty useful. I plan to do the 2002+ exams after I'm done with these. The main reason I'm writing this, though, is to point out that my version (which I bought at the end of 2006) has a purple/red cover rather than the white/blue cover shown in the product image. After comparing the contents of the two, I'm pretty sure they're the same thing-- just in case anyone was wondering.

I did not much enjoy the time I spent with this book, but it's exactly what it claims to be. In the end, I decided to take a low-end test prep course instead of studying on my own, and I didn't need the book anymore.

Without taking these official tests, my score would have been much lower. Practice, practice, practice. By the time I'd reached the last few tests in this book, my score on each test in the book was the exact same as what I ended up with for my actual LSAT score.

Ten practice tests provided variety for scheduling intellectual infrastructure sessions for students preparing for the LSAT. Format of the texts and availability of answer keys made for ease of switching from section to section as students honed academic skills.

If you want to review for the LSAT the best way is to use actual tests that have been previously administered. I raised my score 14 points from the very first test I took to the actual test! I took 25 of these tests and used a couple of other books. It can be done!!

The tests released after this book (tests 39-52), have a format where the analytical reasoning games have become much easier, but the reading comprehension section has become more difficult. Depending on your strengths and weaknesses, these tests may not accurately reflect what your final score is going to be. Starting with the June '07 LSAT (test 53), they are again changing the test--the reading comp section is going to have a compare and contrast section (see the LSAC website for more info). Regardless, the best preparation is to take EVERY test that has been published, and to review every question to see what makes certain questions correct, and what makes them incorrect. Only taking the tests won't get you as high of a score increase. Expect to spend 6 months to a year studying, especially if you are in school or working. You need all the practice you can get.

I used this in conjunction with the LSAT superprep book also from the LSAC. I firmly believe the only effective preparation is repeated practice of the test and this gives you plenty of practice. It worked for me and I would recommend it to others.

A must have for the Lsat. If your thinking of buying the powerscore books. be wary, they will skew every practice test you take because they use real lsat questions from the very practice tests you must take to be ready for the test. My advice is to use the powerscore techniques but avoid answering any of the lsat questions in the books so you can evaluate yourself properly with the official lsat preptests.

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 book contains the newest tests released and is a definite necessity to studying for the LSAT. Although it does not contain answer explanations, it is great practice to take as many of these as possible before the real thing. I used them in addition to a more in-depth studying tool and found that together I had great preparation and was totally relaxed and ready on test day.

Published by the LSAC, the group who administer the LSAT, this book is comprised of ten older tests from 1999 - 2002. In my opinion, nothing is better than taking old tests under simulated conditions, so this book fits the bill perfectly. I would highly recommend it to anyone preparing for the LSAT.

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!

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.

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 Next 10 LSATs book is a decent buy, but suffers from the age-old fault that there are absolutely zero explanations for why the answers are what they are, and absolutely no insight into the theory of the test, or techniques to use.
If you have the money and time, buy (and take) all three 10 Prep books. If you only want to buy one or two books, you should pass on the Next 10 AOLPT.
A better way to go is to buy the 10 More Actual Official LSAT PrepTests (the book published prior to the Next 10) and also buy Get Prepped's explanations to the 10 More AOLPT. That way you don't have to figure out for yourself every single question.
It is true that the LSAT games are easier than they were (the test is still a monster though). But once every three or four LSATs they will recycle a game type from the early 1990s. People who never practice with those older tests (Found in 10 Actual Official LPT), get totally blindsided because they never saw one. So you may want to consider buying the 10 Actual Official LPT instead of the Next 10, if you want to cover all your bases. Might as well practice with the harder old stuff and then you can handle the less complex new stuff.

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.
