LSAT Trainer Forum

Is it worth purchasing this book for prep as I already have the powerscore books and manhattan lsat guides? Are these guides still considered the gold standard in self prep?

Thanks for the help.

Don't know, but depending on how I do in October I might try it. Especially for the LR section, I think there have been enough people to say that it's helped. so I don't think it could hurt to get a different perspective, particularly if you're struggling.

I haven't finished the book but I do like it so far. Everyone says work on fundamentals first and they do start with the most basic of fundamentals. While most others like powerscore tell you to find the gaps and Manhattan to think like a debater, they do drills on finding the gaps and why. They go more detailed into understanding the stimulus and breaking it down. If that's your problem, it may work for you. They also don't come up with 20-30 different categories of flaws to memorize. They condense them down to a few that do work. So far I like it.

I just purchased the LSAT Trainer and I like it. I've been studying for the test on and off for a while now, and it seems to be the most detailed book that I've come across. I just finished the Powerscore LR Bible, and while it was good, I already feel like the Trainer is more dense.

I'd recommend trying it. Don't think it could hurt.
