How to use the Cambridge Packets?

Post by BlackWillHunting » Mon Dec 19, 2016 9:24 pm

Currently using 7Sage and Manhattan LSAT to learn the basics.

For those of you with the Cambridge Packets (Pts 1-38) how did you implement them into your studies?

Do I do the entire packets after each lesson? 50 questions? 25 questions?

For the Logic Games packets, should I do them timed? Should I do the packets one by one?

I would say to do a lesson in the Manhattan book or whatever you're using and then drill that question type in the packet. Do as many questions as you can get through until you feel tired I guess, that's what I did.

For the early PT LGs, I'd say do them untimed for now since you don't know how to do them well yet. Accuracy before timing. Once you start getting. Barely any questions wrong on games, then started timing yourself and doing full sections

I read somewhere that the packets were no longer being sold due to licensing issues. Can't find them on Cambridge's website and these books(?) on Amazon seem like the closest thing, although they look a little shady https://www.amazon.com/LSAT-Logic-Games ... JK1RC4A13Y

OP, where did you get them?

Not shady, that's one of the books but since they stopped selling them, people put them up for ridiculous prices.

If you can't get your hands on one, a good alternative is the powerscore by type books. They're still a bit of money but cheaper than what you'll find online for the Cambridge ones (unless you luck out and find cheap obv). It's the same thing, just different selling companies.

I read the Manhattanlsat/logic bibles and did the packets exclusively for like 6-8 weeks, and then just PTs for 6 weeks, and that was good enough to get in the 170s.

Cambridge packets were pretty much the best investment I've ever made.
