Summary: Disappointing Effort from Princeton Review
Comment: Given the relatively high quality of the Princeton Review organization, this book has a surprising number of inadequacies. The explanations of many of the so-called "correct" answers on the practice tests are illogical or wrong. This is particularly notable in the reading and and argumention sections. The Essay section gives smart tips and and is fully adequate, given how little weight schools put on it. I found the games section the strongest part of the book, both the text and the practice test questions.
To maximize your score, You would be far better served by practicing on the official LSATs realeasesd by ETS and sold as 10 More Actual, Official LSAT Preptests ISBN: 0942639804. If you want an full-length official explanations of selected questions, get LSAT Official Tripleprep Plus put out by ETS ISBN 0942639758.

Summary: Jason
Comment: I have the 2003 version of the book. It isn't a really good resource. The section on arguments is mediocre. The section on logical games is pretty bad with complicated diagram designs that are probably inapplicable at this point. I bought a book from NOVA Press that was a little better. However, I found that nothing beats
actual practice on the tests and recognizing the common types of flaws in the answer choices. I bought the logic games bible book, but I still haven't found much aid with those pesky games.

Summary: Not the most stunning entry in the genre.
Comment: I will admit upfront that I used the 2003 edition of "Cracking the LSAT" rather than the 2004 edition. But this one isn't a whole lot different. In summary, I'm very glad I used a lot of other books besides this one.
The first, main complaint is that the Princeton books use made-up LSAT questions because Princeton Review didn't feel like licensing real ones from LSAC. It's essential that you train using actual LSAT questions. The ones offered here are sort of abstracted to show you the right "types" of questions, but end up not really being that similar to questions you actually get. Since there are literally thousands of real LSAT questions available, why settle?
Secondly, this book is deliberately slanted to help you get a high-ish mediocre score, assuming you're starting with a low-ish mediocre one. The advice about skipping questions is absolutely fatal if you want to do really well. There are better discussions of time management in other books. In fact, if you take an initial practice test and score anywhere in the high 150s or above, this book will be nearly worthless to you.
