Subscription pricing
I've heard form multiple sources that reccommend that I only buy books that use real LSAT questions (unlike Kaplan, Barro's, etc)
I have over a year to study for the LSAT, and am fairly new to the thought process of the LSAT. I'm also a broke college student, so I'd prefer not to buy test prep books right away.
My plan is to get myself familiar with information/examples from free resources (online, library, etc) and then eventually buy the books with real LSAT questions. I've been cycling around libraries in my area and most of them seem to have recent copies of test prep books without real LSAT questions, so I figured I'd start there. (Also, some of the libraries have books with real LSAT questions... my wallet thanks me)
Would you suggest using test prep books with made up LSAT questions/no real LSAT questions to start as an introduction to the types of questions/sections? Or is it a big no-no?
Additionally, I was looking at targeted books for improving certain sections. Not so much LSAT use, but in general-- for example, my library has a lot of books that seem to be more education based, like "Reading Comprehension for College Students." I figured I'd also look at those for potential strategies to combat the Reading Comprehension section.
@ Besides test prep books without real LSAT questions, at my library I've come across:
Preptests 62-71
Preptests 52-61
Preptests 29-38
Some superprep book (not sure which one, I'd have to check)
I've been told that these are pretty nice since they are official.
I do plan to invest in Preptests 72+ since they are more recent.
I saw explanation guides online for the Preptests online, not sure if I should be looking at investing in them too.
I was looking for not only preptests but some strategy guides. I'm definitely going to buy the LSAT Trainer. I also hear good things about Powerscore and Manhattan Prep, though I'm not sure if I want to get both.
I want to say my budget is $300, but seeing the prices of some of the books I don't think it's enough. If there are any official LSAT test prep books at the bookstore, I probably won’t be buying them and will just sit myself there and read them to save money. I'm also not sure if I can afford courses, though the first place I would look is the starter on here. If there's a course that would be more beneficial than a book, I'd honestly consider it.
