Don't Buy This Book

As mentioned in the other reviews, this book is littered with errors.
It is very frustrating to spend long periods of time on problems that you feel you aren't understanding, only to find out later that the question itself is wrong!!

My personal suggestion is to buy a different study guide and purchase actual previous LSAT exams to practice for time.

Sure, the answer keys are useless and confusing, but the general advice is helpful

It is true that the answer keys in this book suck, making it impossible to ever really know if you are getting the sample questions correct. Obviously, that is a huge problem.

However, this is the only general book I found that assumes the user is relatively bright, and some of the tricks and suggestions were relatively unique and definitely helpful. Also, the inclusion of 6 practice tests is really nice.

So, yeah, this book sucks because of the answer key issue. But once they get that sorted out (maybe in the next addition one would hope), I think this book is going to be awesome.

An insult

This book is an insult. Its problems are full of basic errors, rendering the useless to everyone except those who have already mastered them (and thus don't need this book at all). The explanations are also inadequate. Don't waste your time and money on McGraw Hill.

This publisher must employ morons who failed basic logic and reading classes, and no editors at all.

Don't buy this product; instead, call McGraw Hill's editors at the numbers available on their website with a couple of clicks, and ask them why they'e trying to cheat us out of time and money.

Worst book ever!

Most of my complaints with this book have already been articulated by other reviewers, but just in case you need more convincing, I am another very unhappy customer. I bought this at a bookstore and deeply regret not having checked amazon for reviews, because it was a waste of time and money, as well as a detriment to my studying. The errors found were not things that could possibly be just me misunderstanding--they were blatant like the answer & explanation not matching any of the answer options given in the question. I couldn't trust their answers for anything, so I never knew if I was getting problems wrong or they were, so it was completely useless for trying to improve my performance. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!

do not buy this trash!

This is so bad that it will do more harm than good. If this is the best that Harvard students can do, then we should all be able to qualify for Harvard.
