Three Keys: Practice, Personalization, and Expertise
Some LSAT prep materials are written to demonstrate the authors mastery of the test, but Logic Games Prep is designed to build your mastery and raise your score. Empirical evidence makes it clear that the majority of test takers consider the Logic Games section to be the most difficult section on the test. However, it is equally clear that, on average, Kaplan students make their biggest improvements in this section. The three keys to their success are practice, personalization, and expertise, and those keys distinguish Logic Games Prep from any other title.
Practice. No matter who you areno matter your starting point or ultimate goalpractice is the foundation for LSAT mastery. In Logic Games Prep, youll find over 30 real logic games from officially released LSAT PrepTests (more than in any other Logic Gamesspecific title available). Each is accompanied by Kaplans exclusive worked example explanations that break down each games setup and all of its questions, step by step. In addition, this book contains hundreds of exercises that target all of the skills and strategies youll learn. In the books online resources, there are video lessons (The LSAT Channel Spotlight features) that highlight special topics and exclusive strategies from some of Kaplans most highly rated LSAT instructors. Also online, youll find the LSAT Logic Games Training Camp which contains sets of skill-building exercises to help you get sharp and stay sharp with everything youll learn. In short, everything you need for Logic Games mastery is right here.
Personalization. LSAT logic games are consistent, but LSAT test takers vary. Your strengths, weaknesses, learning style, study time, and motivations are not exactly like anyone elses. Logic Games Prep was created with that in mind. Every lesson in this book ends with an assessment that will help you evaluate your own, personal performance, and each assessment is accompanied by recommendations tailored to your results. When you knock a particular skill or game type out of the park, the recommendations give you next steps and suggestions for advanced practice. When you run into an area that requires more work, the recommendations guide you to further practice with the fundamentals.
Expertise. In these pages, youll encounter the knowledge and experience of more than a dozen Kaplan LSAT expertsnot only teachers, but also instructional designers and even psychometricians, who analyze the tests design, scoring, and validity. Collectively, this team of top scorers has trained tens of thousands of LSAT test takers, helping them to achieve their goal scores and gain acceptance to the nations top law schools.
