The LSAT Trainer: A Remarkable Self-Study Guide For The Self-Driven Student

so first off, I want to say that this book is incredible. Instead of giving you the answers, it trains and molds your brain into thinking like a law student. if you’re considering getting this book, do it. You will not regret it not one bit!!I am the type of person to regret a lot of my purchases to some degree. I just received this book about two hours ago in the mail and I’m already SO thankful that I got it.if you’re still debating whether or not to get it, I urge you to just do it.

I’m 31 years old and I’ve been out of school for a decade. Got it in my head to go to law school, and found this book. I did not know anything about the LSAT when I started. This book, along with practice tests, was the ONLY test prep I did. I did not follow the schedule, just worked my way through the book and took some practice tests along the way.Today, I got my score back for the April 2025 LSAT, the first (and only) LSAT I took. I got a 174. This book gave me everything I needed to get there. Thank you Mike Kim!!

Extremely valuable book for LSAT prep. Our daughter used it this spring to study for the April LSAT and she got a 174! She says she would 100% recommend getting it to anyone who's getting ready for the LSAT.

I think this is one of the best books for lsat preparation

The book I received has some errors. Extra spaces in the middle of certain sentences, missing commas, stray dots of ink (or bits of text that weren’t fully printed properly) throughout. There are also two chapters that have the same chapter number (though the titles and all the content are different). Not sure if this seller is trying to recoup costs off an intentional misprint or if the book wasn’t fully edited.In any case, I still think the book is very useful. I’ve already dramatically increased scores on my PT. The book is interesting and easy to read, and the way it is broken down works well for me.

Mike Kim's LSAT Trainer was immensely helpful. The course is very structured, making it perfect for self-study students who have the discipline to stick to the assigned schedule and syllabus. The program provides a clear roadmap for mastering the LSAT, ensuring that students can effectively prepare for the exam at their own pace. The materials are comprehensive and well-organized, making it easier to understand complex concepts and improve test-taking skills. Overall, it's an excellent resource for anyone looking to excel on the LSAT.

Great book for my daughter, easy to follow

This is absolutely the best book you can buy to study for the LSAT.A little background on me: I went through all 3 Powerscore bibles, a $1,500 Testmasters course, Manhattan RC, Ace the LSAT:logic games, Benchprep LSAT course, and other various online articles. All this (+ hard work) allowed me to raise my LSAT from a 149 to a 163 (June 2013)after 8 months of study.Due to my career goals, I knew a 163 would not cut it. However, after 8 months of study (9 hour days) I was reaching my mental limit. I knew I had to redefine my studying habits. A friend on TLS recommended the Trainer for me, saying it was the best book that he has come across. After doing some research, I decided to bet my LSAT score on this book and Mike Kim's timeline.After 2 months of study reading the Trainer cover to cover twice, doing 10 practice test with the blind review method, and doing 4 Logic games a day I was able to walk away this October with a 167. This score with my GPA will most likely enable me to reach my law school goals.Why is this book so great? Let me tell you1. The content in the book is similar to what a private tutor or course instructor will tell you. In book form, you are able to go over the info again and again and really take it to heart. The info I got from paying over $1000 for a course is all included in the book and then some!2. This book is deep. The bibles go over the basics of what you need to know, in what seems like bullet point form. However, the Trainer not only explains it more deeply, but makes it simple for you to understand. The book is not concerned with "what" you need to know, but rather "why" you need to know it. Thinking this way helped me out alot.3. Written by a master. Mike talks alot about "Training your elephant" so you the rider, doesn't have to work that hard when you are actually taking the test. This was kinda beyond me at the time, but by going through the book twice and achieving a high level of proficiency for the test, I totally get what he means. This kind of insight can only be granted by someone who has been in the field of test prep and the LSAT for many years. Therefore, the way Mike structures the book is conducive to the brain for really nailing things down in the subconscious.4. That leads to the last point: Quality. You can really gather a sense of how much time Mike has put into the book by all the "nuggets" you find. By nuggets, I mean things worth Highlighting/taking note of.The biggest fault of the book are the typos and errors that come up every 75 pages or so. They are a tad bit distracting and I actually wasted a bunch of time trying to figure out if an answer was a typo or I was just crazy. However, I have heard that this was because I got an early edition of the book and newer editions have the errors fixed.All in all, Mike says "The secret to success is to deserve it" start by getting this book. I promise, the $50 or so will be the best you spend during your LSAT prep.**This book is meant to be done in conjunction with 10 practice tests and doing so will best enable you to apply what you are learning and raise your score
