The LSAT Trainer: A Remarkable Self-Study Guide For The Self-Driven Student

I am incredibly disappointed in this book! I have been studying the whole summer of two months, and this book, in my opinion, is just a review book to help you get a better score if you already have prior knowledge of how to tackle the LSAT. I feel as though the reviews that are about this book are not accurate. The way that the author writes makes you feel like you have known him for a long time. That helps keep you engaged until your about halfway in the book. The most disappointing part about the book is once you think you get something and you go to check your answers, you don’t get it right; the author doesn’t even explain how you got it wrong. Another part about this book that I found it extremely distracting was that the author jumps into different sections without giving you any explanations for you to understand what you just read.UPDATE:My apologies to the author of this book! You see I kept my original post for anybody that reads this to see that I was wrong. After reading make him his book I decided to journey on to other authors an LSAT books and I quickly realized that the book that I complain so much about was actually the book they gave me the foundation that I need it in order to take the LSAT. I advise you greatly to buy this book it is going to help you especially if you don’t know anything about the LSAT or what to expect. Mike Kim has it my apologies to the author of this book! You see I kept my original post for anybody that read this to see that I was wrong. After reading Mike Kim’s book I decided to journey on to other authors and LSAT books and I quickly realized that the book that I complain so much about was actually the book they gave me the foundation that I needed in order to take the LSAT. I advise you greatly to buy this book it is going to help you especially if you don’t know anything about the LSAT or what to expect. Mike Kim has given I Me the tools that I need in order to take the LSAT. You have to get this book don’t start with no other book but this book 1st. I am waiting right now for the PowerPoint trilogy I have heard that it works very well with the LSAT trainer from Mike Kim. Also it doesn’t say this in any of the reviews so I’m gonna give you a heads up, you’re gonna have to buy two practice books additional to this book which are really great and go well together. Depending on your study Mike Kim has an online forum That is free for people who buy this book and it is very helpful with study guides and videos. You can also look him up on YouTube. I hope this helps because I did not do the author of this book any justice in my first review I had to circle back around to make it right. Thank you so much Mike Kim for teaching me about the LSAT. I have Disabilities that affect my learning takes me longer than the average person to consume information. Mike Kim makes the understanding of the LSAT seem easy and manageable! Good luck on your LSAT exam!

Mike Kim's LSAT Trainer was immensely helpful. The course is very structured, making it perfect for self-study students who have the discipline to stick to the assigned schedule and syllabus. The program provides a clear roadmap for mastering the LSAT, ensuring that students can effectively prepare for the exam at their own pace. The materials are comprehensive and well-organized, making it easier to understand complex concepts and improve test-taking skills. Overall, it's an excellent resource for anyone looking to excel on the LSAT.

Okay, I haven't taken the LSAT yet, so my rating is not about the book's impact on my score. I'm just starting studying (or have been for the past month or so) and have been looking at all of the available prep material: in person classes, online classes, books, tutors, apps, schools, etc., etc. It was getting really overwhelming and I was starting to panic, because I didn't have a single, clear study plan that I felt comfortable committing to. I was using a hodgepodge of this and that and I knew if I didn't find a plan and stick to it, I'd have holes in my understanding of the test. I was literally just about to sign up with this $750 personalized LSAT online mentor/tutor/class and whatever all else it was, when I stumbled upon this book.I read some of the reviews that were good and they were impressive, but I read the bad ones that said "He didn't explain why the answer was bad, he just said it wasn't a good answer". I didn't really know what to think. So, I did my research, went to his website, watched some of his videos, browsed his online student resources and realized that this guy knows what he is talking about. He has created a very organized, thorough method to prepare students to succeed on the LSAT and really the only thing you have to do is be a competent, disciplined person who is willing to work hard through his curriculum.Anyway, his method speaks to me. I just get him. He does have times where he says "It's just not the right answer", but it's not in a section where he's teaching you why such-and-such is right and such-and-such is wrong. It's in a section where he's explicitly stated he is modeling the rapid internal thought process of a high scoring student, so that you can get a picture of what you're working towards. I get his method and totally agree. How can you work through these difficult problems quickly and accurately, like a high-scoring student, if you don't even know what it's truly like to think like that? I think it's a great way to make it concrete and help students formulate a goal. So, anyway, I love his teaching style, organization, voice (like he's talking to you) and most importantly, he's the real deal. He's not out there to make money and sell fluff. He's about training your brain to think. Not trying to identify the question type, then going back into your head and trying to remember what you know about this question type, etc. etc. That's such a waste of time and energy and it's anxiety provoking. This guy says drop all of that, let's practice together, learn some strategies, repeat, so these processes become habits and you can just instinctively begin to attack the problems yourself. It's simplistic and practical. I am so glad I found it JUST in time, like down to the day, to use the 12 week prep plan. Thanks to Mike Kim for this book! It's perfect for me.

Extremely helpful. Excellent book to use as first step in studying for the LSAT.

The book I received has some errors. Extra spaces in the middle of certain sentences, missing commas, stray dots of ink (or bits of text that weren’t fully printed properly) throughout. There are also two chapters that have the same chapter number (though the titles and all the content are different). Not sure if this seller is trying to recoup costs off an intentional misprint or if the book wasn’t fully edited.In any case, I still think the book is very useful. I’ve already dramatically increased scores on my PT. The book is interesting and easy to read, and the way it is broken down works well for me.
