"I just wanted to tell you how helpful the LSAT Logic Games Bible has been...It's easily the best printed resource I've seen. The first night I looked at it I was up reading until 5:00 a.m.!!!! As if it were a mystery or beach reading--I couldn't put it down!!"
- Caroline Herzfeld
“I have purchased many of the books available like Petersons, Barrons, Arco etc. The Powerscore book was the only one that really helped me on the Logic Games section of the test. All the other books dealt with the subject on a superficial level.

The fact that the book was organized around actual LSAT's really make the book effective and relevant. I definitely recommend it.”
- Perry Zimmerman

"PowerScore's Logic Games Bible is an excellent tool to help you in your preparation for the LSAT.

I recommend the Logic Games Bible to anyone who is serious about taking the LSAT and gaining admittance to law school."
- Joel Broome

"PowerScore's Logic Game Bible is like your personal LSAT tutor. It documents every strategy an instructor would give you in a prep course, but now you can access the information at your own pace."
- Ngocsuong Vo

"Before I got this book, I was clueless on the logic games section; it was my weakest point. After this book, it was my strongest section! I got into my #1 law school and my LSAT score was a big reason. Thanks!"

Frequently Asked Questions top

1. Does the PowerScore LSAT Logic Games Bible use real LSAT questions?
2. Is the Logic Games Bible just a collection of problems or will it teach me how to do the games?

4. Can you explain the difference between the LSAT Logic Games Bible and the Logic Games Ultimate Setups Guide?

FAQ top 

2. Is the Logic Games Bible just a collection of problems or will it teach me how to do the games?
The purpose of the Logic Games Bible is to teach you how to attack and solve every type of game that appears on the LSAT. There are extensive explanations of the PowerScore methodology, how-to’s on diagramming and inference-making, helpful drills, and full explanations for every problem in the book. The book features real LSAT games to help explain our approach and to provide you with practice in applying our techniques.

FAQ top 

3. If some of the games in the book are drawn from the 10 Real LSAT PrepTests or 10 More Real LSAT PrepTests will that hurt my preparation?
No! First, there are over 230 LSAT games currently in release from Law Services, and we use only a fraction of those in the Logic Games Bible. Also, a number of the games in the book are NOT drawn from the 10 Real LSAT PrepTests or 10 More Real LSAT PrepTests. Regardless, even if you have seen one of the games in the book, the Bible will show you how to attack those games in the most efficient manner possible. You cannot be hurt by seeing the best way to attack a game, and many students realize after reading the Logic Games Bible that methods they previously employed and thought were efficient were in fact inefficient and doing more harm than good.

In addition, the Logic Games Bible contains a number of drills that will help you learn the techniques taught in the book. Between the drills and the real games you will have a variety of opportunities to learn and apply the PowerScore methodology, and you will also have the option of purchasing dozens of other games to continue your preparation.

FAQ top 

4. Can you explain the difference between the LSAT Logic Games Bible and the Logic Games Ultimate Setups Guide?
The LSAT Logic Games Bible is a how-to guide that explains the methods we use to attack the Logic Games section, including how to identify game types, how to create efficient setups, how to make inferences, and how to solve questions. The Bible is the essential guide for learning exactly how to conquer the Logic Games section.

The Logic Games Ultimate Setups Guide contains the setups for every game from 1995 through 2002 (and the exclusive book website contains additional setups for other LSAT games). This is not a how-to guide, but a solution manual that shows you if you are correctly applying the techniques described in the Logic Games Bible. If you are thinking of buying only one book, buy the Logic Games Bible first. The Ultimate Setups Guide can be purchased later to supplement the information provided in the Games Bible.

FAQ top 

5. I heard that a recent LSAT contained a game type that hadn’t appeared in almost a decade. Will the Bible help me prepare for games like this?
Yes. You are referring to the October 2003 LSAT, which contained a game about people sitting around a circular table. The last table game to appear was in 1991. The Logic Games Bible addresses table games—which are known as Circular Linearity games—in Chapter Seven. In that chapter we specifically noted that games of this type could easily reappear.

The LSAT Logic Games Bible is designed to prepare test takers for every type of game, even those games that appear only once every decade. That’s why it is called the Bible!

Student Comments top

"I'm an LSAT instructor with another national prep company. I think the Logic Games Bible is a great resource for students focused on excelling on the section. In fact, it was the buzz amongst my students that led me to purchase the Logic Games Bible for review on my own time."
- Jenny Steiger

"The Logic Games Bible helped me drastically improve my performance on the Games Section of the practice LSAT exams I took. I am fully confident that I will conquer the LSAT as I now have the confidence that I can successfully complete any game type presented on the LSAT. Hands down--the best preparation for the Logic Games Section of the LSAT out there. Thank you so much PowerScore."
- Billy Sanchez

"I am writing this as an extremely satisfied consumer of your two "bibles," the Logical Reasoning Bible and the Logic Games Bible. I just got my June 06 LSAT score back, and was pleasantly surprised to have received a 179. My initial diagnostic placed me at 153, but after working with your two books, I was able to dramatically increase my speed and accuracy in logic games and logical reasoning. Your books are easy to understand and worth their weight in gold. Thank you!!!!"

"Thank you for your excellent publication, the PowerScore LSAT Logic Games Bible. Today I retrieved my LSAT score for the February 9th test. I received a 173 (which put me in the 99th percentile). Before buying your book I took several previously administered LSATs at home, but had never managed to score above a 168. I had tried materials from both Kaplan and Princeton Review and thought I had exhausted my options (the cost of a full-scale course was beyond my means). However, surfing the web I found your book and it was the best purchase I have made. Your book was the only one written for students who wanted to go beyond general strategy to improve their scores at the high-end of the scale. Thank you."
- Ella Campi

"The book was awesome! I would highly recommend it to anyone studying for the LSAT. The use of real LSAT questions and techniques is extremely useful."
- Diane J. Zelmer

"Before reading the Logic Games Bible I was apprehensive about what I might encounter in the LSAT format--now I'm ready for anything. This has raised my level of comfort and confidence at least five-fold. I've shared some of the insights with other friends and they look at me, like "Where did you learn to do that?" Thank You PowerScore!"
- Don Correia

"This is by far the best games book on the market. I went from missing 12 questions on the games section to missing 2. Needless to say, the improvement in my score was astounding."
- Eric Hansen

"I have tried EVERY LSAT preparation on the market. My weakest point was the logical games section. The Logical Game Bible not only made me feel confident for the pending test but excited that I now have the proper tools to attack the test. Unlike the rest of the materials I have used, PowerScore armed me with a large array of easily comprehended methods to do well on this section. I cannot thank you enough for imbuing me with confidence to take the LSAT."
- Melissa Middlebrook

"This book enabled me to go from getting 40% correct in the logic games section to getting 90-100% correct. This book is the best resource out there for preparation for the Logic Games section."
- J. Johnston
