I am incredibly disappointed in this book! I have been studying the whole summer of two months, and this book, in my opinion, is just a review book to help you get a better score if you already have prior knowledge of how to tackle the LSAT. I feel as though the reviews that are about this book are not accurate. The way that the author writes makes you feel like you have known him for a long time. That helps keep you engaged until your about halfway in the book. The most disappointing part about the book is once you think you get something and you go to check your answers, you don’t get it right; the author doesn’t even explain how you got it wrong. Another part about this book that I found it extremely distracting was that the author jumps into different sections without giving you any explanations for you to understand what you just read.
UPDATE:
My apologies to the author of this book! You see I kept my original post for anybody that reads this to see that I was wrong. After reading make him his book I decided to journey on to other authors an LSAT books and I quickly realized that the book that I complain so much about was actually the book they gave me the foundation that I need it in order to take the LSAT. I advise you greatly to buy this book it is going to help you especially if you don’t know anything about the LSAT or what to expect. Mike Kim has it my apologies to the author of this book! You see I kept my original post for anybody that read this to see that I was wrong. After reading Mike Kim’s book I decided to journey on to other authors and LSAT books and I quickly realized that the book that I complain so much about was actually the book they gave me the foundation that I needed in order to take the LSAT. I advise you greatly to buy this book it is going to help you especially if you don’t know anything about the LSAT or what to expect. Mike Kim has given I Me the tools that I need in order to take the LSAT. You have to get this book don’t start with no other book but this book 1st. I am waiting right now for the PowerPoint trilogy I have heard that it works very well with the LSAT trainer from Mike Kim. Also it doesn’t say this in any of the reviews so I’m gonna give you a heads up, you’re gonna have to buy two practice books additional to this book which are really great and go well together. Depending on your study Mike Kim has an online forum That is free for people who buy this book and it is very helpful with study guides and videos. You can also look him up on YouTube. I hope this helps because I did not do the author of this book any justice in my first review I had to circle back around to make it right. Thank you so much Mike Kim for teaching me about the LSAT. I have Disabilities that affect my learning takes me longer than the average person to consume information. Mike Kim makes the understanding of the LSAT seem easy and manageable! Good luck on your LSAT exam!

You’ll need other study tools along with this
So, this book is great for understanding HOW the LSAT works. Kim breaks down what skills each section of the LSAT is testing you for, explains the different types of questions and strategies for solving them, and helps you to implement those strategies with drills in each lesson.However, you will need other study tools as this book is not very good and developing in you the skills mentioned as necessary for doing well on the LSAT. Kim doesn’t do a very good job at explaining in depth, why wrong answers are wrong. He also doesn’t do a very good job of helping you connect the types of flaws he taught in the lesson with doing actual arguments.Another issue is that he uses phrases that require cognitive effort, in addition to the effort needed to study for this test. For example, in lesson 17 he says something about a match the flaw question being a close but not cigar. It took me a minute to realize he was saying that some answers can be close to the original argument but not an exact match. I think he should keep in mind that we’re consuming a lot of information and try to keep the language as straightforward as possible, so as to consider that we don’t use more mental resources than necessary when using his book to study.As I said, the book is great for learning HOW the test works and what to do to solve each problem, but not very good at teaching you how to think [about flaws for example.]I plan on using YouTube videos and other online sources to fill in the gaps.
