RC, LG Book Recommendation PLEASE!
Posted: Tue Aug 21, 2012 3:10 am
Hi all, I know there are many existing posts that are related to my question above, but I would like to hear fellow LSATers' honest and informative opinions that are specifically geared to my situation. FYI, I will be taking the LSAT in February for Fall 2014 admission. So I have about 5 months to prepare. My target goal is 168~172.
1) LG
I have been studying LSAT pretty consistently for the past few months. (Took Kaplan Course, but honestly it did not help much)
I have read LGB once, and it has helped me improve my LG skills, but I am still not getting the score that I want.
I have been doing PT 1~30, and my average score on PT's have been varying between 158~162.
On average, I get 2~4 questions wrong on LG, but sometimes I even get 8~10 questions wrong on LG section alone. (which is so depressing and discouraging..)
My LG score tends to fluctuate depending on the difficulty level and my familiarity with the game types.
2) RC
With regard to RC, I am getting at least 1~2 questions wrong per each passage--so about 6~8 questions wrong on RC section alone.
I have not looked at any RC books yet.
I am planning to re-read LGB very carefully, redoing every example question and making my own notes.
But I am also planning to invest in good LG and RC books.
For LG, I am debating between buying LGB Flashcards from Powerscore or Manhattan LSAT LG. Which should I buy? (since I already have LGB, should I try MLSAT book, or should I stick to LGB and learn to completely master their methods of attack?)
For RC, I am debating between buying Manhattan LSAT RC or Nova's RC. Which should I buy?
I would greatly appreciate your honest opinions!
Thanks so much in advance!
