The LSAT Exposed: Tricks from 12 LSATs. Second Edition.
White, David M.
This book discusses tricks for answering questions on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). The tricks are based on an analysis of 12 editions of the LSAT which have been made public pursuant to New York's Truth in Testing Law. Sample LSAT questions published by the Law School Admission Council are referenced to exemplify the tricks' applications on actual LSAT items. Topics in this book include: (1) a description of the test development process that is involved in compiling an actual LSAT; (2) a detailed analysis of the structure of each section of the LSAT; (3) an analysis of answer options; (4) a description of tricks for answering specific types of items; and (5) examples of the tricks from published materials and commentary on the tricks. Each trick is accompanied by a frequency breakdown, which provides specific data about the trick's effectiveness on l2 previously disclosed editions of the LSAT. There is a special chapter on test bias which focuses on bias against minorities, women, and low income applicants. Suggestions for avoiding test bias are offered, with examples from published materials. (KA)
