I enrolled in an on line prep course and it frustrated me more than it helped and I decided to dis enroll. I am unable to afford a tutor because it is over 2,000 but I am a tactile learner and actually need to see sketches and have things explained to me thoroughly but once I get it I get it. I got as far as road mapping and I swear I have not been successful after if/then questions, and even in that the negating was not easy for me so my answers were always skewed. If anyone can please inform me of the best books that actually show the different sketches and how to use them I would appreciate it.

I get the strict and loose sequencing but for some reason I am unable to get the right answers. Today was another class and after I got the first answer wrong after thinking it was right I said to hell with it. I am doubting going to law school and I would hate to give up so soon but I would rather not that the exam that to take it and do poorly. I did a diagnostic it was 130 and that was without any kind of information and was hoping that the prep course would help me but it did not and I would have hated to spend all the money and gain nothing. I just graduated with a masters degree with a 3.82 GPA so I am far from dumb but I am stressed out beyond words and the test is in June. Beating a Dead Horse Thanks

The PowerScore LSAT Bibles are the best books on the market. I tell everyone to start with those and then by the time you get a to a prep course, you will be in much better shape as far as learning everything (or you may not need a course at all).

Don't give up on law school just because of the LSAT. The two are not the same. you may have a long way to go on the LSAT, but that test can be learned and conquered. Just slow down on your prep, start with some good books, and try to absorb the reasoning behind the test. The LSAT is very different from anything rlse you have done academically, and you have to approach it differently.
