The PowerScore LSAT Reading Comprehension Bible
R**D
PowerScore!
Only complaint was the copy I received was the 2014 addition!! Being offered for sale under the 2017 edition... I bought it used and it came with light use and limited markings.As far as the Powerscore series - it is the best way to go, these guys got it right and know what they are doing. This book is informative and very helpful and I am using all three as a trilogy. Reading, Logic, and Games... Prior to buy these books I paid an independent teacher offering an in person course, with online videos and materials for around a grand offering mainly teaching and not much reading materials. These books are much better!! It is independent study but I learn better reading books, combined books with teaching it enhances learning so it could work out for you to get the course taught by Powerscore as wellI do not have the Training Collection or the Workbooks which could prove useful or could be a waste of money? I do however have all the past test previously administer from LSAC which you should buy first along with the trilogy before buying the subsequent training materials from Powerscore. But all three of these books are easy to follow and read. I have not started taking simulated practice tests yet because I am not to take point in my training schedule so I am not sure what range of point increase I will be in, I will update this with my increase in a few months.

LSAT Reading Comp Bible
I liked the way the books all 3 were explaining to a newbie what to expect on the LSAT. Excellent prep.

The LSAT Reading Comp Bible is a thumbs UP!!!
I want to take a few minutes away from my graduate studies to give a brief but well-deserved critique regarding the PowerScore Reading Comp Bible. I am using all three PowerScore tomes for my LSAT review. I have the Logic Games, the Logical Reasoning and the Reading Comprehension Bibles on my Kindle. I started my LSAT review in November 2013 and will take my LSAT June 29th here in Manila, Philippines. All three books are better and more thorough than I expected. I have already completed each of the three Bibles from front to back. I will read them all three times and will have worked every example in all three. It is tough on top of the MBA I am currently working on full-time. But a solid score on the LSAT is my dream in 2014. A solid score for me is a 168 or in that ballpark. My cold score before I started was a 148. So I am feeling very well armed now with where my weak areas are (Logic Games) and know where to focus for maximum improvement. The only thing I have added was the purchase of the LSAT Exams numbered 162, 163, 164 and 165. I highly recommend practice exams weekly in addition to the three Bibles from PowerScore. God Bless & Good Luck :))) Eric - Strayer University

Helpful for Reading Comp. Section
Very intensive breakdown of the reading comprehension section. Every person studying for the LSAT needs this.

Sent wrong edition.
The photo advertised was for the 2022 edition and i was sent a 2015 edition. Powerscore updates their books every year so a 2015 edition would not be sufficient enough for material i need to study for this year.

3 Keys to Efficient LSAT Studying
Hands down the best study material for the LSAT. I self-studied with this over about 9 weeks and felt very well prepared going into the October 2015 LSAT. I feel that I bumped my previous score by around 10 points using the PS Bibles the second time around. Here are my 3 keys for efficient studying: 1.) Work through all Powerscore Bibles (LG, LR, RC), 2.) take as many prep tests as possible under times conditions (minimum of 10-15), and 3.) debrief each prep test by thoroughly reviewing all questions. LSATHacks.com has explanations to all of the prep test questions you miss. Follow this and you'll be on your way to a higher score!Update: Jan 2020 - Got accepted to law school, crushed it, and finished with highest honors and Order of the Coif. These books made it all possible. Don't play yourself, put in the work if you want the reward.

Part of a powerful trio.
This book has helped out my score on the reading comprehension sections quite a bit!On my first (cold test), I was writing 13-14 correct per section, after about two months of using this book (and taking practice tests), I'm consistently writing 20-22 correct per section. This book helped me figure out what the LSAT looks for, as well as tips to handling the different types of questions.The book has good strategies and tips for use when studying for the LSAT. I have applied concepts learned from this book to my undergraduate course work as well, and it seems that I am retaining more from the various readings. The main place that it has helped outside of LSAT study is in my ability to outline and dissect readings.

you probably know that there aren't any truly great RC programs or guides out there
Between this and around 20 preptests, I consistently improved in reading comprehension. RC is certainly my most inconsistent and weakest section. I started with -5 to -8 each time to getting -2 to -4 each time.If you are serious about your preparation, you probably know that there aren't any truly great RC programs or guides out there. But, this did help me in several specific ways, for example, how to improve my understanding of how to pick a "best answer" when there is no good answer.I haven't used the other PowerScore Bibles, but I'd feel confident recommending the brand based on my experience with the RC Bibl.e

This is the 2019 Version!
Do not buy, this is false advertising. It is the 2019 version NOT THE 2020 version as shown in the photo. Thoroughly disappointed. This has wasted so much of my valuable LSAT studying time.

Damaged and Used
I paid the price for a new paperback and yet I received a used damaged copy...Which I would have been fine with, if it were stated and had adjusted pricing...

Great tool for preparing for the LSAT. It's a bit boring to work through but has been helpful. I would recommend buying the set of 3 books and working through each of them bit by bit.

Substantially Decreased My Score
Delivery time was superb, however, reading this book decreased my performance on practice exams substantially. I went from 4-6 wrong per section to 10-15 wrong per section, after reading the PowerScore series.
