2010-04-08 Really, You Gotta Be Kidding Me (2 of 5)
Am I four? Redundant and repetitious, this is like reading an early kindergarten book with definitions of sentences- unnecessary at best. Save your money unless you read at a first grade level.

2008-04-10 If you're taking all of the preptests, you need this one (5 of 5)
This book contains the February 1997 LSAT and comes with LSAC authored explanations.

It's similar to LSAC's Superprep in format and is an excellent resource.

If you're trying to practice with all of the available preptests, you'll need this one since this book is the only place this test is published.

2005-11-27 Extreme LSAT studying (5 of 5)
The cheaper you can find this book, the better it is. It is a single LSAT PrepTest from February 1997, as such it is considered a modern LSAT (post 1995). The explanation are a little simplified, but still there are some pearls in the explanations.

If you're trying to take all the LSATs available then you should get this book. It's also useful to take some of the more recent, previously-undisclosed, February tests. They generally have a different feel. I would think this is even more important if you're scheduled to take a February LSAT.

2003-03-28 Explanations are Very Basic! (3 of 5)
I had to reconsider my review after evaluating the explanations on the games section. On this section, the explanations are not as helpful because there are no illustrated diagrams. Instead, there are short mini-paragraphs that require a bit more effort and time reading into.

On the other sections however, there are explanations for every question. A downside though is that you have to flip back at the beginning of the book for the question -- the explanations do not restate the question at all. Also, the explanations are pretty basic; you get very few special insights or "insider" strategies.

Overall, the book was more like a regular LSAT Testprep. If you require explanations, perhaps you should try Nova's "Master the LSAT" where you also get plenty of strategies.

At the cover price, this book is not worth it. I recommend getting Nova's "Master the LSAT" and/or "10 Actual, Official LSATs" instead of this book.

** Please note, the TriplePrep Plus does not contain explanations at all. Currently, this is the only book by the LSAT makers that contains explanations for one WHOLE test. Unfortunately, the explanations here do not compensate for the extra cost above a regular LSAT Testprep.

2000-08-05 nothing like the real thing (5 of 5)
This book gives you several real tests and the corect instructions on how to simulate the real enviroment. You can either prepare for the test in two different ways. One is to take a prep class and that will cost you a ton of money. Or two, you could buy the books and teach yourself. This book gives you several previously given test, with answers and explinations at the end of each one. ITS WORTH IT.
