Good for diagramming, flawed as a general approachThe LG bible present has positive and negative aspects. On the positive side, they teach some useful techniques for diagramming.
On the negative side, they focus far too much attention on conforming to their techniques at all costs, and on their cumbersome classification scheme for the game types.
The book's dogmatism about their techniques exacerbates students' tendency to fall in the trap of trying to create the "perfect diagram". The authors imply that once you master their diagramming and deduction techniques, the answers will simply flow out. Unfortunately, on a timed test, the perfect diagram's costs are often higher than its benefits. The same goes for the initial deductions that they stress- they are useful, but not always worth the time.
The book's classification scheme of games into more than a dozen types is unwieldy. I have gained very little insight into the games based on their classifications, which they encourage readers to memorize. The authors should remember their audience: most of us don't want to be LSAT taxonomists. The emphasis on the diversity of game types leads the authors to downplay the commonalities between the different kinds of games (for example, the question types and the procedures for answering each question type, which are largely the same).
Personally, I would recommend combining PowerScore's diagramming techniques with the approach suggested in the Big Fat Genius Guide to Logic Games. Nonetheless, I don't dispute that many people find the Powerscore book useful- but if it's not doing the trick for you, it's worth exploring other options!

| The Best Investment You'll Ever MakeI noticed this book along with my other two LSAT-prep purchases today looking back at age-old Amazon purchases for fun. Law school and the bar exam were several years ago for me, and I can honestly say now that I've been practicing law for a few years that this was one of the best investments I ever made. This book and its companion 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests are without question the best way to prep.
Before law school, I worked for two major test prep companies, and when I started preparing for the LSAT, I decided not to spend the thousands of dollars for a full length course. Instead, I focused on taking practice tests and going over any question I missed in intense detail to make sure I knew why I got the question wrong. Rinse and repeat. What I'd recommend is to take the first 10 tests without timing yourself, and when you go over each question, see if you can figure out for yourself why you got the question wrong. If possible, get someone else to grade the test for you so that you don't know the correct answer, and see if you can arrive at the correct answer on your second try. Then take the second test of 10 tests timed under full test conditions.
Over time, if you are being careful with your test-taking and learning from your mistakes, you'll see your score go up, and that's exactly what I saw happening as time went on. I worked through these tests and moved from a score in the 160s up into the 170s. When it came time to take the real test, it was far less stressful as I was able to tell myself it was "just another test" - after all, I had already worked through 20 on my own. I scored in the high 170s, got into a good law school, and now years later, I have a great job at a great law firm.
If you want to be an attorney, you have to beat the LSAT first, and this is hands down the best way to go about it. Read more...
