Book Reviews of Ace the LSAT Logic GamesBook Review: Perfect score Summary: 5 Stars
This book did it for me. I was plateauing at 70%-75% correct after doing a Kaplan book for all three sections. After doing just the first half this book, I was getting 95% or betteron the games. By the time I finished the book, I was getting them all right, and finishing with 3 or 4 minutes left over. I just took the Feb LSAT and the games were a total snap. I am still waiting for my score, but I am positive I did not miss one game question. I really liked that the book had the 3 most recent tests. Beacuse I got to practice with the most up to date games, this really made me comfortable that there wouldn't be any unpleasant surprises on test day. I definitely recommend you get this book if you are serious about succeeding at the games.
Book Review: excellent study guide Summary: 5 Stars
A bargain book. It has 80 games (each LSAT has 4 games), including the most recent 12 games from preptests 49, 50, and 51 (purchased seperately, these three would cost $24 right there). All games are explained in detail. The instructional section was very useful, it taught everything I needed. Some of the symbols were a bit different from those I learned in my class, but it was pretty easy to figure them out and they made diagrams a little quicker. I had some knowledge before using this book and it moved me to the next level, but a think a beginner would also benefit. I know it helped me, I just got my scores and I only missed one game question.
Book Review: Too many mistakes to be helpful Summary: 1 Stars
The analysis sections of this book offer answer and explanations for the practice puzzles, step by step. The problem is, those explanations quote rules that aren't even in the original puzzles, the example diagrams include conclusions that are either unwarranted from the puzzle or at least unexplained in the analysis, and there are various other typos throughout. I thought it was helpful at first, but now I'm not sure if it did more harm than good. I emailed the publisher to ask for corrections, but haven't heard back yet. This is an awfully expensive book, and the LSAT is way too important, for me to have wasted all this time and money.
Book Review: I would not suggest buying this book Summary: 2 Stars
I felt quite comfortable doing logic games before buying this book and wanted the book only to have more games for practice. However, I was very disappointed by the book. The games do not resemble actual LSAT games in that they do not require similar deduction, if at all; they are much easier; some answers do not make any sense, and some even contain mistakes. After doing some of the games, I found myself moving backwards (in my progress) rather than forward.
Book Review: Good practice book Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a great supplement to either a complete LSAT prep book or course. I used the book because i knew I had to improve on the logic games, and pared with the strategies other books recommended I found some techniques that worked.
