Self-Study with Kaplan Course Books Forum

[nillumin]

In my possession I have these Kaplan 2008 Edition Books (purchased them off ebay):
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

LSAT Mastery Practice
LSAT Homework Book
LSAT Endurance Practice
LSAT Pacing Practice
LSAT Lesson Book

+++++++++++++++++++++++

I was wondering if anyone (preferably someone who has used them before) could tell me how to go about using these books? As in, what order? Somewhat of a schedule?

Any help with this would be much appreciated....I went through powerscore during the spring for the June LSAT and am looking for something different to go through for the October one.

Thanks.

Really? The books' titles seem self-explanatory. =P

I was faced with a similar happy dilemma. From a friend, I had inherited a complete and unused set of the testmasters workbooks. I wasn't quite sure how to meld the resource into my PithyPyke-variant study-plan. Even using the testmasters as a stand-alone resource, it's hard to make sense of the workbooks without an actual instructor. I ended up keeping the books as an awkwardly redundant source of extra-practice.

I'm sold on the PithyPyke method, and if I were in your position, I would complement the Kaplan workbooks along a PowerScore skeleton. The Mastery book is gold-- regardless of plan or method, sort-by-type practice is a must-have. But yeah, hopefully a Kaplan-course alumnus can come along and give more of the Kaplan-ish answer that you're searching for.

Yea I look forward to using the Mastery. I already went through the PowerScore LG/LR...so I won't be doing those again. Hopefully someone has advice on how to go about these books...if not I'll probably start with the lesson book/mastery.....
