Title: Kaplan LSAT 180 by Kaplan ISBN: 0743224353 Publisher: Kaplan Pub. Date: 01 March, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $25.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.33
Rating: 3
Summary: Good Practice on hard questions - no instruction though
Comment: This book offered a good focused practice on the hardest question types, but did not really give much instruction. It's mostly questions and explained answers, but no strategy or instruction.
Rating: 1
Summary: Buying this book is a mistake
Comment: Whatever you do, don't purchase both the Kaplan LSAT 2004 book AND the Kaplan LSAT 180 book. Amazon and other online retailers even encourage this by offering a special price if you buy them both, but more than half of the material is repeated. I say forget Kaplan all together and purchase the 10 Official LSAT Preptests book instead.
Rating: 5
Summary: Helpful LSAT Book
Comment: The first time I took the LSAT, I scored in the 74th percentile. The second time I took the LSAT, I scored in the 95th percentile.
My advice to anyone looking to achieve something similar:
1. Buy this book. "Cracking the LSAT", Master the LSAT, and the more basic Kaplan LSAT are books that I had bought the first time around. My opinion is that the strategies that are suggested in these books won't help seperate you from the thousands of other LSAT takers that you're forced to compete with. So what you need to seperate yourself from the crowd are strategies that go beyond everyday, run-of-the-mill LSAT advice. And this book gives that to you in spades. Also very detailed answer explanations that go beyond probably any other on the market.
2. Buy the 10 Real LSATs. Practice until you can do sections in 30 minutes. It's all about speed. If everyone had as much time as they wanted to take the LSAT, perfomance would probably be significantly higher. If you can get into about a 30 minute rhythm per section, you'll be fine. You'll avoid last minute panic on sections, and you'll have time to check over your answers. Personally, I found that the 30 minute rhythm came to me naturally after enough practice. Be prepared to take many practice tests if you want to achieve this. Whatever you do, DO NOT give yourself more than 35 minutes when taking old tests.
3. Examine your wrong answers on old LSATs. Essential if you hope to make any progress. It's really important to see here what other strategy or method could have helped you answer the problem more successfully/quickly.
4. Get plenty of sleep the night before. Eat a good breakfast the morning of the test. Bring a candy bar to eat at the break, if you like chocolate. Don't underestimate the importance of how you feel physically.
In addition, there was much more stress in my life the first time I took the test. I'd be stating the obvious, though, if I suggested that you minimize personal stress in your life.
That's really all there was to it. Good luck.
