请问所谓的Kaplan内部教材好吗？

kazaaerato

看见有人卖， 发电子邮件到我邮箱里了？ 不知道好不好，特别是logical reasoning.

另外请问logical reasoning 系统的看国外逻辑推理大学教材有用吗？XDF的老师说logical Reasoning是凭感觉做题的，是天生的。大家意见如何？好像美国大学有专门给非逻辑专业开的Critical Thinking 的课程。。。

大家给各说法吧。

I never use the Kaplan myself. There are both positive and negative comments on it.

As to the logical reasoning, the best so far should be the Logical Reasoning Bible by Powerscore. I remember there was a post saying that it is available in China.

另外请问logical reasoning 系统的看国外逻辑推理大学教材有用吗？"----------I don't think LSAT logical reasoning is as complex as requring formal theoretic knowlege of logic.

XDF的老师说logical Reasoning是凭感觉做题的，是天生的"--------genetic? uhm, that is hilarious. I would say it is simply a matter of pracitce with a little bit common-sense and reasonalbe reading skill.

Hope people who used Kaplan offer some suggestions*****

Thanks, chelseayang, Your comment is very helpful, and insightful as well.  May you a happy Chinese New year!

By the way, would you please introduce "Logical Reasoning Bible" in detail. Its official site provide no infortmation on its contents!

the Powerscore LSAT Logical Reasoning Bible:

Logical reasoning questions are explained in 7 or 8 categories. With each type of question, the book offers a "stimulus peculiarities", i.e. explaining  the characteristics of this type;

then there is detailed analysis on the stem/question, helping you to identify the question type.

Then there is a detail on the appproach to the question by giving you a few specific examples (all examples are real LSAT questions). A review follows.

Finally, there are real questions for your practice.

The Powerscore LSAT Logic Game Bible is in similar format.

Happy New Year to you too. Good luck 2005!

I think logical reasoning abilities are partly dependent on instinct. ;-) We can learn all the rules,

but when it comes down to 25 questions in 35 minutes, your "gut reaction" is what really counts!
