Synopsis

A fresh, innovative, and streamlined approach to the LSAT, featuring techniques geared towards students aiming for top scores.

The Manhattan LSAT Logical Reasoning Strategy Guide untangles the web of LSAT logical reasoning questions. Not only does it teach the essential strategies you’ll need to understand the question, but this guide also arms you with the skills needed to pick apart the answer choices.

With tons of practice problems and drills, this book takes you from novice to master on one of the more subtle sections of the LSAT. Beginning with an approach to reading arguments and identifying answers, this book then breaks logical reasoning problems into different categories. Avoiding an unwieldy and ineffective focus on memorizing sub-categories and steps, this guide instead reveals what top-scorers actually do, encouraging a more streamlined approach that engages and improves your natural critical-thinking skills.

Strategies and drills, along with full explanations for the practice sets (using real LSAT questions) take you deep into the logic and the thinking that is needed to master this section.

The Manhattan LSAT Logical Reasoning Strategy Guide can serve as a stand-alone book or as part of a complete self-study program that includes the other Manhattan LSAT Strategy Guides, Online Class Recordings, and Practice Books.

Special features include online access to additional practice problems.
