LSAT Logical Reasoning Grouped by Type Book (More)

LSAT Logical Reasoning Type Book MoreFor those of you who intend to complete every LSAT Logical Reasoning question ever published, there's a book for you. It's called:

More Grouped by Question Type: LSAT Logical Reasoning: The Complete Collection of Actual, Official Logic Reasoning Questions from PrepTests 21-40


This book is incredibly useful for two major reasons (which the title makes obvious):

Reason #1: More Grouped by Question Type compiles all the games from PrepTests 21-40 in one book. This allows you to avoid getting 10 More Actual Official LSAT PrepTests (exams 19-28), Next 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests (exams 29-38), and PrepTests 39 and 40 if you would've wanted any of those books/exams only for their Logical Reasoning questions.

Reason #2: More Grouped by Question Type organizes Logical Reasoning questions by type, rather than by PrepTest (as the traditional books of PrepTests from LSAC do). It divides them into different "chapters" based upon the type of Logical Reasoning question. Because these are not from the newest exams (they're from December 1996 - June 2003), you may want to complete those exams in pieces anyway, rather than as full timed exams.

While this book is a great concept, it may not be for you simply because you'll probably want to complete all of the Logic Games and Reading Comprehension sections in 29-38 anyway, or because you may want to use some of these exams for full timed sections.

Although this would save you some flipping around in the books of PrepTests, we already have a few categorizations of Logical Reasoning questions by type on the blog.

I'm listing the chapters of the book below so you can see the types of categories the book uses. While it doesn't perfectly follow the above-linked categorizations of Logical Reasoning questions, and it sometimes uses different terms, it's fairly close. Don't worry too much about the differences in terminology, though, because the book's brief introduction explains how the Logical Reasoning questions are categorized.

Chapters:
1. Introduction

2. Arguments
-Method of Reasoning
-Main Conclusion
-Matching Patterns of Reasoning

3. Flaws in Arguments
Argument Flaw
Matching Argument Flaw

4. What Can Be Concluded From The Information Provided
-Must Be True
-Must Be False
-Most Strongly Supported
-Point At Issue

5. Understanding The Impact of Additional Information
-Weaken
-Strengthen
-Evaluate the Argument

6. Assumptions
-Sufficient Assumption
-Necessary Assumption

7. Principle

8. Resolve

9. Index and Answer Key

***

Who should use this book:

Most test-takers won't find this book necessary. However, anyone who intends to focus specifically on LSAT Logical Reasoning questions by type in exams 21-40 without doing those exams' Logic Games/Reading Comprehension questions (or just wants less to carry around!) will find this book worthwhile and convenient.
