LSAT Materials...

Despite not having any explanations, the Off. LSAT book is still very good. If you have any doubt on any of the question, feel free to post them here and see what other people think. No matter what, I strongly recommend you to use that book if you are to improve your verbal

you might not see some of the "LSAT type" questions on your GMAT. But what is extremely important is to develop the skill of analyzing arguments. Once you have your own strategy , it will work for most arguments. Make an Error log and see what you did wrong , why you did wrong..once you have solved enough questions, you will definitely have a strategy to counter these questions.

And by using LSAT's for RC and CR, you are solving that perennial Dilemma or OG first or Powerprep first. We also have a huge database of questions in our forums. Start from day one and study all of them. if you get them wrong, see the explanations by our members. if you are not convinced by that explanation, post it here.

Hi,

I'll be taking the LSAT and the GMAT this summer and I think the questions are quite similar (that just a few don't appear on the GMAT that do appear on the LSAT). I've contacted Professor Dave, his the author of both 'the Lsat advantage with Professor Dave' and 'the GMAT advantage with professor Dave'. I was debating on buying either one or both of the books, but my concern was there may be overlaps btwn the CR and RC questions. He emailed me and told me he uses the same questions for these two sections in his own book. So from this, I feel there's quite a lot of overlap, maybe only a few of the types of the questions are not tested on the GMAT. If you do get those 10 actual/more LSAT official preptests, doing more questions will do no harm. I realize some of you thought the setback to the LSAT prep tests was that there's no explanations. I've managed to find someone who had all the explanations, if you want to get further details, feel free to email me at

Good luck,

On Dave's LSAT advantage: Given Dave's strategies for GMAT and for LSAt are the same, I dont recommend using that material for GMAT. When you go through OG CR/RG, you can notice how ETS tweak around words, which is not the case with LSAT. Of course, these tests are not about *true* reasoning, but more about how they set these questions. Once you understand the latter process, you can win the game. Even though I bought LSAC 10 more tests book and parroted they are good to practice with for GMAT CR/RC, I regret giving such advice! It is a game, and know how to play with each party--be it LSAT or GMAT. Dont conflate one strategy with the other!
