clear, and the book demonstrates its techniques on real LSAT PrepTests.Skip the section on "Pattern Games" and "The Forgotten Few" unless you've alreadymastered other game types. Also, don't worry too much about the book's complicatedsubclassifications. You'll be fine if you can distinguish between the main game-types:linear/sequencing, grouping, and combination.Unless you have a lot of time, I recommend the 2003 edition. Why? Because the 2008edition is nearly twice the size. It appears the author beefed it up to justify the $65 retailprice tag. Also, the 2008 edition exposes you to recent games you'll want to save forlater practice tests.When to use: Before you attempt logic games from the books of PrepTests.
