Work and training books

[holder]

Hi - I've just purchased the bibles (which are on their way to Australia as I type) but have since discovered the work books and training books.

Due to the prohibitive cost in shipping to Australia (and the terrible exchange rate at the moment) can someone please let me know if the bibles along with several prep tests are sufficient to prepare for the LSAT (with the hope of obtaining high 160's as a minimum).

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hello holder,

They may be neither sufficient nor necessary (that's an in-joke about conditional reasoning...), but they can be very, very useful. The PowerScore "bibles" are famed for being really good expositions of their topics, e.g., logic games, reading comprehension, etc. And prep tests are obviously useful too, as trial runs.
However, work books and training books can be useful in addition. It's up to you to balance the shipping cost of them, with the potential benefit of doing better on the LSAT. If you think it's worth it, feel free to go ahead.
There are also courses and tutoring. If these are not easily accessible for you in Australia in person, PowerScore also has online courses and tutoring. These links, http://www.powerscore.com/lsat/courses.cfm and http://www.powerscore.com/lsat/tutoring/live-online/, may be of some help.
Of course, there is no guarantee of getting any score, whether in the 160's or otherwise. The more you prepare, the better your chances should be, though.

Hope this helps,
David
