Grouped by Passage Type is Better Than Kaplan LSAT Mastery Practice

By LSAT Blog "LSATblog.blogspot.com" - April 19, 2010

In a few days, I will post a more detailed review of this book on my LSAT blog. However, I just wanted to briefly note that this book is much better than the previous alternative, Kaplan LSAT Mastery Practice.

Grouped by Passage Type contains every LSAT Reading Comprehension passage from PrepTests 1-20, so it includes some Reading Comp passages that are otherwise out-of-print and difficult to find in book form. It organizes Reading Comp passages according to various categories, but it also goes beyond the traditional Natural Science, Social Science Humanities, and Law categories.

For example, it divides Humanities passages into the categories of Art, Literature, and Music & Poetry.

The Kaplan Mastery book just sticks with the 4 basic categories and doesn't do a more detailed breakdown, which would allow you to focus on specific areas. (The Mastery Practice book also just includes a random assortment of passages.)

Great accompaniment to recent tests for Reading Comprehension practice.

By Kyle Singhal (Metroplex LSAT Prep) - October 13, 2010

While this book is not sufficient to ensure success on the reading comprehension section, I use it regularly as an LSAT tutor with my students. Many students particularly dislike the passages about art or literature, and this book's categorization of passages by subject matter helps students to get over the psychological barrier associated with a given type of passage. It is true that the more recent tests have comparative reading passages that were not present in tests 1-20, but students would be wise to use the more recent tests for full-length test practice. This book is ideal for supplementary practice, or for practice on improving speed.

Waste

By LSAT 171 - April 19, 2010

Let me preface this by saying that I have not, and will not be purchasing this book, because it is a waste of money. This book will sell you the RC from tests 1-20. The Lsat is currently around test 60, and the Reading Comprehension has dramatically changed since around test 40. They now how comparative reading sections and the sections are generally much harder than they were before. If you buy this book you will fool yourself into thinking that you're prepared for the reading comprehension section when you will not be. Do yourself a favor and go out and buy the actual recent tests here on Amazon.
