The concepts presented in the Logical Reasoning Bible are representative of the techniques covered in PowerScore s live courses and have been consistently proven effective for thousands of our students.

In addition, the Logical Reasoning Bibl features over 100 real LSAT Logical Reasoning questions that are used to illustrate and reinforce our techniques.

 Hands-down best self-study LSAT Prep March 7, 2005

This is by far the best system out there for self-study. I tried the other known names (Princeton Review, Kaplan, etc.) without a lot of improvement in my practice scores. After completing the two Powerscore books (Logical Reasoning Bible and Logic Games Bible), I saw a 10 point increase in my practice scores. My final LSAT score was 174, thanks largely to these two books. However, be prepared to spend some serious time on these books if you want to benefit from their system.
Don't pass up this book! September 22, 2005

This book is great. I've taken the TestMaster's actual course and bought this book to supplement my learning. TestMasters & Powerscore are very similar in their classroom teaching methods, and this book pretty much states in text what the teachers say. The techniques this book teaches is worth its weight in gold! It has clear explanations and anyone can come to terms with their reasoning.
However, the only bad thing about this book is that it does not contain enough problems. You WILL have to buy other books for this, but this bible covers the essential information required to solving the various types of logical reasoning questions presented in the LSAT.
I recommend this book to people who have not taken the Powerscore or TestMasters course or those who want a supplement to their lsat classroom course for reference purposes.
The "bible" series is priceless.. October 3, 2005

Honestly, these books are worth more than the suggested $49.99 price. The Games Bible and the Logical Reasoning Books by PowerScore are the two best books in their respective fields.
While I was studying the Logical Reasoning Bible I felt like I was cheating. The tips they give you are better than any other book I've come across. (They let you know WHY the other books don't teach correctly and give you specific examples).
If you are seriously considering taking the LSATs than you absolutely cannot get a better studying aid.

I have seen my score jump about 20 points using a combination of this LR Bible and the Games Bible -though it did take me months to get there. This is the most comprehensive book by far (it beats the Princeton Review and most Kaplan books as well as all 17 books I got from taking a rival prep course) but be prepared to study it religiously with ample time. At almost 600 pages, you need probably atleast a month to really get the techniques down. The book also uses real LSAT questions.
The LR Bible divides question types into chapters so for example, if you are having problems with parallel reasoning questions you can skip right over to that section. There is also a chapter on formal logic, which is one of the best I have seen anywhere, that the LSAT employs.
This book is the basics. It is very detailed and gives a great solid foundation on getting to know the lsat.
A must-have for LSAT prep August 27, 2006

I am not aware of any other books that deal exclusively with the logical reasoning section of the LSAT. But it doesn't matter. This book is so comprehensive I'm not sure what the other books could include that this book has not.
This should be the FIRST book anyone preparing for the LSAT should buy. It pretty much encompasses what all of the standard prep guides give you and goes into much more depth about how to approach each type of LR problem type - which categorizes for you.
The book is very easy to read and follow, with a narrative style that makes you feel like you've got a one-on-one tutor right there with you.
There are just enough practice problems to get your feet wet. There aren't pages and pages of problems, nor should there be. This is a tutorial on how to attack the LR section. If you want LR questions, there are already many other easily accessible sources.
Since the LR section accounts for 50% of the test, I don't see how anyone can skip reading this book.
