Hey,

Just wondering if anyone else is going to be writing the LSAT in October. I have been doing this study method since July 15th:

Kaplan Approach to the LSAT 2009 Edition (1 hour a day)
Powerscore Logic Games Bible (1 hour a day)
Once a week; a timed test from the Next, 10 Actual LSAT games

I have to say; DO NOT buy Kaplan!! After reading one section of the Logic Games Bible I AM 400% more positive in my skills than the entire section on Logic Games in Kaplan. I would have been highly unprepared if I solely used Kaplan and am having my doubts about its other sections (the Reading Comp is my huge weakness and Kaplan section is useless on this). I also purchased the ebook Mastering the LSAT which I have found to be better for a general guide as opposed to Kaplan. The main reason I am utilizing Kaplan is for the test and the study outline.

I will be making my next purchase of the Logical Reasoning Bible and Reading Comprehension Bible by Powerscore; highly recommended. I am looking at 165-169 score so I really need to know everything.

One tip I found very useful which might come in handy for someone is that some of the answer choices in some of the Logic Games can be used as a hypothetical situation for another question. Example would be one question asking:

"All orders are not possible EXCEPT"

and after you do your game and find the right answer to be something like: "KHJYX"; you can use this "KHJYX" for the next question as a hypothetical situation. It will hopefully cut down on the time and at least eliminate some of the questions. Kinda simple logic but some people (like me) wouldn't have seen this.

I am wondering what study method you guys/gals are implementing and what LSAT prep books you are using? Anyone have any tips for any of us who might be writing or it current/past Law Students who wrote the Lsat?
