Lsat CR QUERY

by eaakbari » Wed Mar 24, 2010 1:01 am
Hello,

I juts got hold of Nova's Master the LSAT, as I heard its a good place to improve your critical reasoning skills. But the book only contains Logical reasoning. I am assuming they are the same or is there any difference at all? Anything i should keep in mind while studying from this book
Thanks in advance.

It may be a good book for practice. You could practice with LR questions as well.

I guess you are already comfortable with CR strategies. If not, buy Powerscore CR bible. It is the best book for strategies.

I would practice LSAT question types that come often in GMAT (Assumption, weaken, strengthen, evaluate, inference, resolve paradox). I guess LR and CR differs in a very subtle way (mainly in inference questions i guess). I may be wrong too.

Get hold official LSAT test papers. Those are the best for CR and RC practice.

Any idea , where do you get this from ? .There is no real use of going with any prep companies LSAT papers , but i believe you are referring to official papers , one from LSAC , am i right ?

Is there any book on amazon or anywhere ,which has those official test questions? .

Would appreciate your reply.

You may check these,

https://www.amazon.com/Next-Actual-Offic ... =8-1-fkmr1

These books do not have explanations. If you want with explanations, there is some book named kaplan lsat mastery.
