GMAT Inequalities is a high-frequency topic in GMAT Quant, but many students struggle because the concepts behave differently from standard algebra. Understanding the right rules, patterns, and edge cases can significantly improve both speed and accuracy.- May 06

Hi. Yesterday I bought "The Official LSAT SuperPrep" book based on someone's recommendation here. I just did 18 questions in 45 min. That's an average of 2:32 minutes per question. A little slow, I know. I spent a chunk of time comparing the two choices that I had narrowed down to before selecting my answer. The kicker is: I found most of the questions to be surprisingly easy. Often I could intuit the type of answer that a question required. The questions seemed similar in difficulty level to that of the easy and medium OG CR questions. It turns out that I got 1 wrong out of 18 questions! (That's 95% correct! The highest I've ever gotten in my practice sessions) Of course, I have to work on becoming more confident with choosing answers so that I won't have to spend time reviewing them.
My question to all of you who've used LSAT materials is:
Is the level of difficulty of the questions in SuperPrep the same as that of the book, The 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests , and its sequel ("10 More...")?
I'm going to get my hands on "10 More..." later this week (I heard that it contains more recent tests). Should I get "10 Actual" as well?
Thanks in advance for your comments.

Hi,
I can't answer your question about SuperPrep in particular, because I didn't use it. I took the LSAT on 12/4 of this year. Instead, my response focuses on your per question time. I wouldn't get too excited about answering 95% of questions correctly if you averaged 2.5 min/question. That's not nearly fast enough. You've got to get that down to 1:45 each, be glad that you're starting with a good base of being able to intuit the answers, but don't lighten up on yourself until you're answering all questions within the prescribed time limit. I was scoring perfect 180s every time I took untimed tests, but when I added the time factor the highest practice test I ever did was 171. Best of luck.

Hello Questor
It was my recommendation.
The Superprep contains ACTUAL tests administered in the past and the other LSAT preptests are similar tests. I assume that you took Section 1 in Preptest A. There are two sections of Logical Reasoning (thats Critical Reasoning) in Test A, B and C. Generally, the first section is the easier one of the two. Also, the tougher questions are generally towards the end of the section.
I would request you to try the second section of logical reasoning. hopefully that would challenge you and will help you a lot.
The whole idea is to practise with standard questions. Except the Official Guide and the nine paper tests, there is too little material out there. Plus the paper test dont have the explanations. Most of the times, the frustrating part with kaplan or princeton is the poor quality of their verbal questions.
Hope this helps
