Selecting an LSAT Book for Self-Study
August 13th, 2007Self-studying is the most practical way to prepare for LSAT. While it is convenient because you do not have to attend classes somewhere, self-study requires a lot of discipline. If this is your choice, you need to create and stick with a schedule for your LSAT study and practice.
Obviously, the best self-study material is an LSAT book. Make sure to select books that are relevant to what you need. Do not base your purchasing decision on someone else’s recommendation because their needs might be different from yours. For instance, if you need to help with the basics of LSAT then of course an advanced LSAT book will only further confuse you. Always identify your particular study needs first and base you LSAT book choices on these.
A good alternative to an LSAT book that is not too costly is an online LSAT prep course. It contains practically the same prep material as a live prep course, only you have the advantage of accessing the lessons online instead of attending a class. Many web-based prep courses provide students with an online contact that they can consult if they have questions, which actually makes it a better choice over an LSAT book. Consider this option if you want the freedom to study without the coaching of a teacher but want support when you need it, which you will not get from an LSAT book.
