 Great Book only if You Struggle on LSAT Reading Comprehension December 7, 2008

As a professional LSAT tutor/blogger in NYC, I was skeptical when PowerScore published this late last year. I didn't think PS would be able to follow up on the success of the previous 2 bibles with another truly useful study guide. In some respects, I was right, but in others, PS exceeded my expectations.
If you're already scoring decently on Reading Comprehension, this book will repeat much of what you already know. It won't do much to help you get those last few questions.
If you're struggling on Reading Comprehension, this book will make this section much more manageable.
Note: PowerScore once again exhibits its tendency to over-classify. The book goes into detail on every question type, every passage type, etc. If you majored in biology, you might find these taxonomies interesting, but most folks won't benefit from thinking about RC in this degree of detail.
Use (if at all): If you decide Reading Comp is a weak area worth focusing on, complete this book before doing several RC passages.

I am a huge fan of his other two LSAT prep books, but I found the reading comprehension book to be slightly unnecessary. It was basic, intuitive information. I did find the "common errors" section helpful, seeing as I am now more aware of traps. I basically found out from this book that completing each prompt in 8 minutes and 45 seconds (their recommendation) to be extremely doable, without using any of their tips. A good book to skim, but not worth spending precious study time over.

I would really recommend this product if you are studying for the LSAT and struggle with this section. PS does a really great job of breaking down what you need to know and provides ample sections to work through!
 Got extra cash..need help with RC? this is for you February 27, 2010

I am a BIG fan of power score products. I utilized this series for GMAT and now for LSAT and each time I saw results. I am fortunate to have a small budget to purchase these basic prep books and followed a stringent 3 month self study plan (I didn't have 1500 to spend on a professional prep program) and I did well on the test. It takes focus , discipline and great prep books, such as POWER SCORE!
Ok I love Power score can you tell?! BUT this is my least fav in the LSAT series but it is still a great book. I just believe that RC is well the easier of the sections to study for that is why I am "iffy" about the need for this book. I worked my way through the entire book and I did walk away with some decent knowledge but honestly I only applied about 1/3 of it on the test simply because of time. I just found their approach to be really time consuming however I also tend to be a fast reader so the thought of doing the breakdown they suggest was just overwhelming for me. I will say this, if this is a section you are struggling with buy the book but if you are a-ok put your pennies toward more lsac preptest's.
 Grammar mistakes in a book on reading comprehension? February 20, 2009

I think this book has a lot of good value in it and could really help someone struggling with the reading comp. section of the LSAT. But by page 125, I had found at least 5 errors in grammar and labeling on the part of the writer which was REALLY distracting. There was one place where belief should have been used where believe was... Anyway, I just had to post a review because I was so annoyed. I paid a lot for this book and it's got simple mistakes that the editor should have caught.
