Cambridge Materials Confusion Forum

[emilsinclair9]

I want to start working on drilling by type. I know Cambridge packets are effective for this. However, when I go to the Cambridge site, I get really overwhelmed by the combinations of options there are. Yes, I have also clicked on the descriptions of each possibility to receive more information, but I am still left with lingering questions. If someone could please inform me as to what would be beneficial to me, that would be great!

I know I want PT's 1-38 organized by type and difficulty. Does this include type for RC as well?

- When the Cambridge people write, for example, PT's 51-70 in their entirety, what is meant by entirety? Do they include bubble sheets?
- I noticed in some packages they include 5-section tests and in others, 6-section tests, but how do either of these differ from "entirety"?

I really want to have a sound strategy for drilling. I want to do this in an organized way, that makes sense, and will help me track my progress and identify weaknesses. The separation is in the preparation, and perfect practice makes perfect, and I want to practice perfectly and completely to achieve the top score I am capable of. Thank you in advance for any and all help, as I sluggishly debate back and forth about which materials are best organized for my study efforts.

Apologies for the confusion. Here are the answers to your questions:

• Tests "in their entirety" include the four scored sections as released by LSAC, the score conversion table, the answer key, and the writing prompt (as a separate optional file). We don't include bubble sheets since they would increase the file size, and thus the download time. Instead, you can (LinkRemoved) and print copies of it as needed.
• Our 5-section tests contain a spliced section from one of the out-of-print tests (1-6, 8, and 17). The 6-section tests contain two extra sections from PrepTests 52, 53, or 54. In both cases, they are seemlessly inserted so they blend in with the scored sections.

Thank you very much for your response!

One last question, I'm leaning to purchasing the books (paperback) because I want them to be as similar to an actual LSAT administration as possible. If I download the PDF version instead, then I will have to gradually print out stuff as I go along, correct? What if I use multiple different computers at various locations? Are the PDF's e-mailed to you?

You can print everything out in one sitting or do it gradually, depending on your preference. You'll be sent links to download the PDFs, which you'll need to do within three days of purchase. You can then put the files on a USB drive for printing in multiple locations.
