I have PowerScore LSAT LR Bible, but I'm in doubt whether I should buy the GMAT CR Bible or not, I read through the free excerpt of GMAT CR, but it's identical to chapter 2 in LR. When I look on amazon GMAT CR is 305 pages, in contrast to LSAT LRs' 541 pages.

Does anyone have both books and can enlighten me on this case, are they practically the same with more information on the LSAT LR book? If so, which information isn't necessary for GMAT takers?

I am studying with LSAT bible currently , and I have both LSAT and GMAT bibles.

The difference is , that LSAT bible includes some more chapters like: Conditional reasoning ... and some chapters are longer in LSAT than in GMAT bible , for example , method of reasoning and flaw in reasoning question types are reviewed thoroughly in LSAT than in GMAT.

And yeh, they use our beloved word called - GMAT instead of LSAT ! :)

In other cases wording is absolutely the same , i would say that Gmat bible is created with using function "replace all LSAT with GMAT" and plus couple of hours to shorten some chapters.

But the books are great !

it's no doubt that PS LSAT is more comprehensive than the GMAT book... if you already have the LSAT book I don't know that getting the GMAT book will do you any good. Me personally... i wouldn't buy the GMAT book... there aren't that many RC questions that would warrant me spending the money for a sub-par book compared to the one I already have

does the LSAT LR book have lots of practice questions? The GMAT CR book has only a few at the end of each chapter.

i believe I read somewhere (i'll try to find it) that the LSAT book does contain more RC problems.... at least I would hope so at 500+ pages haha...

maybe there are certain chapters within the LSAT book that may be more helped for GMAT RC instead of going through the whole thing?

I used the LSAT Logical Reasoning Bible. It doesn't contain any RC questions. It has "more" Logical/Critical Reasoning questions, but these additional questions are on the topics that are not on the GMAT. If you already have the Logical Reasoning Bible, there is no reason to get the CR Bible. The material is exactly the same except PowerScore went through and changed LSAT and replaced it with GMAT and took out the info that wasn't on the GMAT.

Why would it contain RC questions? It is only for Logical Reasoning questions of LSAT. For RC of LSAT there is different Bible.

i believe osirus mentioned "RC questions" in response to the following post:

hello everyone,
thanks for posting such a nice views about Powerscore LSAT vs. Powerscore GMAT.

my query is GMAT CR has some Eight question types, whereas in Powerscore LSAT book there are Thirteen types.
If we exclude those not governed in GMAT, then is Powerscore LSAT complete book?
do revert pls.
cheers!!

LSAT book has more than GMAT book. So if you are wondering whether LSAT covers everything GMAT has, then the answer is yes.

If I am looking for some major help on RC... would you recommend getting the LSAT RC bible? I am looking for a book that also contains some goof basics and not only 700+ level RC questions...Thanks guys.

Hi everyone! I've been pondering over reading LSAT/GMAT Powerscore. And now after advices I've decided LSAT Powerscore.
