So I hear about everyone "drilling" question types. When do you get all the questions to drill with besides old PTs?

Are there books you can buy with practice problems split up into their different categories?

I used BluePrint and they had all the questions split up but am re taking in June and my BP books are all marked up so am trying to find another source to study from (without spending hundreds of dollars again).

Thanks!

Kaplan too, has a book of questions by question type. You may want to look into that. Also, Manhattan LSAT has one as well, I believe.

Cambridge LSAT has PDF problem sets

Cambridge LSAT Logical Reasoning by Type (http://www.cambridgelsat.com/productdet ... -38%29/357)
Cambridge LSAT Logic Games by Type (http://www.cambridgelsat.com/productdet ... -38%29/358)

Both of these come as pdfs and will cost little over $100. I am finding these helpful as the games and question are arranged in order of difficulty. In addition, the pdf-factor allows you to reprint them when you want to re-do them.

Other than Cambridge, I would suggest looking into PowerScore's own books or Traciela. Although I have heard that the PowerScore books have some typos. Not sure, so I just went with Cambridge's books.

I would recommend buying the Hardest LR set if you are shooting for 170+.

I used to drill them in sets of 10 questions, trying to get them done in as much under 20 minutes as possible while missing no more than 1 on each set.

It's important though to mix in practice tests.

If you already have the preptests...

You can sort them yourself with that...

Does Blueprint give you access to online versions of all of the tests? I know some prep companies do...

... what book is this? i'm not smart enough to find it on amazon, clearrrrly...

.

For those of you who are drilling or have drilled LR by type or LG by type, do you get use commercial explanation to the question from any prep company? Or the answer key at the back would suffice, ie trying to reason yourself why an answer is right or wrong using what you learned from PS bible or manhattan guide.
Any advice, suggestion highly appreciated.

I used Kaplan explanations for a bit, but it's not really worth it. Get te super prep and use those. You shouldn't then after a while. Or just go on manhattan LSAT forums.

Damn, it's like $157 (i think, quickly added it up in my head). Hmmm might be worth it.

Like I said, get hte set of hardest questions only and it comes out much cheaper.

You should also take practice tests, find out where you are weak, and by question types in those categories. Email cambridge and they will send you a test tracker that scores your tests and tells you what kind of questions you are missing.

Definitely second this

http://www.manhattanlsat.com/lsat-test-explanations.cfm

But the forums don't have EVERY explanation... I find they only usually have commonly missed Qs

I just got the two newest Cambrige LR&LG by types. Plan on drilling them. I didn't know there were PDF's available though. FFFFFFFFFF!

It's worth it! LR constitutes 50% of the LSAT - getting 3-4 more correct answers is the difference between a wait list and a scholarship. You can substantially improve your LG score through intensive repetition.

Just do it.
