Hey everyone, I just had a question about LSAC's series of books containing 10 LSAT Prep tests. I bought one of the books recently, and it kind of bothered me that there weren't any explanations for the answer choices in the book. Does LSAC provide explanations for them in any other publications, or is there another website that provides explanations to these questions instead? Thanks

Manhattan LSAT forums are a good resource - free, and the explanations are usually pretty good.
7sage has detailed video explanations for every prep test released, but you need to pay to have access to them (not over-priced and can be useful if you're taking their course as well)
LSAT-Hacks also has explanations. Some of the later tests are free, but most of them cost money I believe (might want to fact-check this one - can't exactly remember).

I used those LSAC books extensively during my prep. I would recommend just going over your missed problems independently until you understand your errors. If you are absolutely stumped just ask a friend.

I will look into both of those resources, thanks.
I figured I could try that route. Understanding your mistakes is definitely crucial to learning anything, and that seems like a sound approach.
Thank you for your advice.

I'm making all of mine free, but it takes a while to put them online. Currently, 62-72 are free. 29-38 are next:

LSAC doesn't provide explanations for good reason. If they made official explanations, they'd have to make them FAR more detailed than mine, or Manhattan's or 7Sages. At least, I expect that's how they would do it, given their example in the Superprep. They don't like leaving loose ends.

Whoops, sorry about that, Graeme. Didn't mean to misrepresent your product. I've used some of your explanations for the later tests and found them really helpful. I'll make sure to spread the word!
