Study Materials-- What gives me what? Forum

[gobosox]

I'm starting to gather my LSAT prep materials. I'm looking online and on the TLS forums to find what to get, but I'm confused as to what I should buy.

I want every past LSAT test. Do I need to buy them individually? I also hear the "Bibles" are good resources-- are they mostly methodologies or are they mostly practice questions or both? I searched the forums to try and find a thread on WHAT is in each book, but couldn't really find what I wanted. Since the bookstores I went to didn't have the books to thumb through, I'll buy them online and want to make sure I'm not wasting my money and getting what I want!

Bonus question: Should I just take a course to start my studying and then continue studying on my own afterwards with their material? I feel like I can teach myself most of it from books.

a course is not necessary for a good score! depending on your diagnostic self-study may be just fine...it was just fine for many of us!

Bibles - great for lg foundation. Specific methods for each game type
Ok for lr to get familiar with question types. Look for some of my longer posts about lg. I don't tutor LSAT but feel confident my schedule and tips I picked up could help you become a pro at lg

You can buy the actual official 10 lsats for the full tests. The newer tests will have to be purchased individually

I don't recommend anything Kaplan

I bought all my LSAT material on amazon
