Best Books for LSAT Prep

What are the best books for LSAT prep?
Studying for the LSAT can be a difficult (not to mention costly) endeavor. With literally hundreds of books on the market for LSAT preparation, it is difficult for many test takers to decide what to buy.

When I took the LSAT, I needlessly spent hundreds of dollars on LSAT prep books in order to figure out what worked and what didn't.

Luckily, you can learn from my mistakes. There are a handful of truly excellent books for LSAT prep out there, and the rest aren't worth the money. If you stick with my recommendations, you will have the best LSAT prep books currently on the market & you can avoid spending money on books that aren't likely to be as helpful in you preparation studying to take the LSAT.

First, a couple of ground rules that you need to be aware of before you begin buying books to prep for the LSAT:

  1. Don't buy any book that doesn't use real, official LSAT questions from previously administered exams. There are many books out there that develop their own LSAT questions to use in their materials. If you only follow one piece of advice, please don't use LAST prep books unless they only use actual, official LSAT questions from previously administered exams!
  2. Stock up on plenty of official LSAT preptests. The LSAT is a very learnable exam. Unlike many standardized tests, the Law School Admissions Council (LSAC) actually publishes the questions and answers from previously administered LSATs. Take advantage of this! The best way to improve your score is to study these past exams as you prepare. 
This list of the best LSAT prep books from 180testprep.com provides an excellent list of the top books to study for the exam. In addition, you are going to want to buy plenty of practice LSATs from this list of LSAT preptests.
