The LSAT™ Simplified (but still hard)
Written by a top-tier now-retired tutor, the “LR Fundamentals” alone make this short and easy-to-follow guide well worth the purchase; the “RC Fundamentals” and notes about speed, stamina, and practice are welcome extras.
Peg Tittle (M.A. Philosophy; B.A. Literature; B.Ed) previously worked at LSAC writing the questions that go onto the test; she is also the author of Critical Thinking: An Appeal to Reason (Routledge, 2011).

“No gimmicks or ’10 steps to LSAT™ success’ here, just good, solid guidance from a very experienced and effective LSAT™ tutor.” Daniel G.
“Peg does not simply prepare you for the LSAT™; she teaches you the how to think critically at a very high level. This is a skill that is absolutely necessary for scoring well on the LSAT™ and for the study of law.” Nic B.
“Hearing Peg think out loud is priceless!” C. L.
“All LSAT test takers will benefit from the insights in this book. For some LSAT test takers, this will be the only third party prep they need.” John Richardson 5/5 amazon.ca
“Honestly, this is the best LSAT prep book I’ve read (and I’ve read a few). The author used to write LSAT questions so she clearly knows what she’s talking about, and she really does make logical reasoning so much simpler than the other systems I’ve tried (e.g. 7Sage, Princeton Review, etc.). I really wish I’d had it sooner in my study process because it would have saved me time and money. Alas. Thanks for helping me get a 168, Peg Tittle!!!” Amazon Customer 5/5 amazon.ca
“The LSAT™ Simplified (but still hard) left a stronger impression on me than I expected from a book operating in such a crowded and often formulaic category. … There is a refreshing respect for the reader’s intelligence throughout the book. Rather than promising an easy path, you acknowledge the difficulty of the test while making the underlying thinking far more approachable. I was particularly struck by the sections devoted to logical reasoning. The explanations never felt mechanical. Instead, they seemed to invite readers into a way of thinking, encouraging them to understand why an argument succeeds or fails rather than simply memorizing patterns. That distinction may sound small, but it changes the entire reading experience. Lastly, there is patience in the way concepts are unpacked, and the tone remains practical without becoming detached, rigorous without becoming intimidating.” Tom B. (possibly with AI assistance)
