I have been studying for the LSAT seriously for about 4 months now and this book has given me so many new ideas surrounding tackling logic games and getting them RIGHT that I had to leave a review ! I know when looking for materials it may be overwhelming because you don’t want to pay thousands of dollars but you also don’t want to waste your money on ineffective materials . Get this book . You won’t regret it !

After reading "LSAT for Dummies" and trying a few official LSAT prep-tests, I knew that I needed an organized strategy for solving the Analytical Reasoning questions. This book was exactly what I had hoped! The author categorizes the games into two basic forms and then develops the strategies by adding more complex rules in subsequent chapters. A section at the end of the book is devoted to possible games that are less common. I highly recommend this book because it is incredibly helpful for a reasonable price!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good overall, some errors in the book
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2017

This is the only LSAT study book I've purchased, and I'd say it's worth it to buy a used copy. I really just wanted to learn the diagramming strategies, and it gave fairly clear explanations of those. I also thought that the pace at which the question difficulty increased was good. I worked through the whole book in about 4 days (maybe 14-16 hours). I think I made a good selection, and don't plan on buying another book (just previous tests for practice). However, there are several outright errors in the text as well as some things I thought were very poorly explained. Details follow:

First, if-then statements are introduced in Ch. 5 (pages 85-6 in the 2010 edition), and the author makes several explicit references to formal logic. However, it isn't until page 254 that the author notes in an aside that if-then statements on the LSAT are not actually treated the same way as they are in formal logic. (In formal logic, the truth-value of an if-then is automatically T whenever the antecedent is false. I still don't really understand how if-thens are treated on the LSAT, because the book's explanation leaves me confused as to how if-then is distinguished from iff. I'm not sure whether that's entirely the fault of the book or if it's because I'm so accustomed to formal logic.) This lack of clarity made some of the examples and the corresponding explanations of the answers extremely confusing; for example, on page 90, formal logic would dictate that all of the answers could be true, though apparently only one is.

Second, I'm fairly certain that the "Rank and File" game on pages 208-210 is not set up properly. I worked through the second question (top of 210) multiple times on different days and arrived at the same answer each time, but that answer wasn't one of the options. I then guilted my older brother (a math prodigy, pretty much, and also familiar with formal logic) into spending 10 minutes of his Christmas break working through the whole problem. All I told him was which question I was having trouble with, and he arrived at the same conclusion I did: the reasoning in the walk-through of the answer is simply flawed (specifically, "If Ursula were the fifth of these, then Violet also wouldn't be ranked, which is a contradiction." First, Ursula would be the fourth, not the fifth; second, neither of us could see anything that would make that a contradiction, even with the different if-then meaning). Again, we both identified that same line as the issue independently.

Finally, while I didn't happen to note the page (or even the chapter), there's at least one question that has a typo in one or more of the answers (one of the "chips" is listed twice, and it wasn't intended as a trick to disqualify the answer; it's simply wrong).

All that said, I found the book to be very helpful overall, and I'm glad to have the three full practice sections to work through in addition to all the examples. If you want to be really optimistic, you can pretend that the errors in the book are a source of fun, extra practice as you second-guess the explanations the author provides. If that rings too hollow for you, comfort yourself with the fact that most of it seems accurate, and there are always actual LSAT questions to rely on for practice instead of the ones the author came up with, so it's still worth it to buy a used copy.

This book is AWESOME. Coming from someone who did not understand logic games at all, this book easily taught me. The book goes very slow and takes you step by step each kind of logic game that the LSAT offers. It even has sample games with answers in the back of the book. I really actually grew to enjoy solving the games because of this book! Highly recommend!

I thought the Logic Games for Dummies text was more didactic and user-friendly than the Powerhouse book although I rely more on Powerhouse for its symbology. I highly recommend it this inexpensive book. The Manhattan (Logic games prep) text was good also to but this was more thorough.

After working out questions and reviewing my answer with the text’s solution, I found multiple errors in different questions. Some answers labeled as correct go against the rules of the game. I wish I came across the questions sooner and it was not too late to return.

I bought this book because I am awful at logic games and wanted a way to improve on them without paying for a class. I found that the book is inconsistent in some ways, such as how to symbolize facts about each game. Further, the author does not sufficiently explain how he arrives at his conclusions and makes the deductions that he does. Either my logical skills are really subpar or he does not explain thoroughly enough. I ended up buying the ExamKrackers Analytical Reasoning book and have been much more satisfied. I would highly recommend that book instead.
