PowerScore Logical Reasoning Bible Usefulness?

Has anyone else found the Logical Reasoning Bible to be kind of a waste of time? It just seems like their methods are rather time-consuming and overwrought. I have had great success with the Logics Game Bible, and was hoping for more of the same from this book, but it just hasn't panned out.

I am currently missing about 3-4 questions on the Logical Reasoning Sections, and am looking for the best method for getting better. When I started taking practice tests, I was missing maybe 4-5, so I've improved some, but not a ton.

Any advice on what I can do to sure up these sections any more? I feel like if I can just improve a question more or so a section, I would be really confident going into the LSAT.

Any success stories?

the LRB is incredibly useful. if you manage to internalize the techniques for each question/stimulus type, you should be able to reduce your errors from 3-4 per LR section to about 1 or 2, maybe 0. I wrote a summary of how to best internalize LRB techniques, for myself, which has worked. If you're interested, I can send you a copy. 3-4 wrong per section vs. 0-1/2 could be the difference between a good score and a great score. PM me and I can send you a bunch of advice/resouces I found useful.

Spanks,

In response to your post: "the LRB is incredibly useful. if you manage to internalize the techniques for each question/stimulus type, you should be able to reduce your errors from 3-4 per LR section to about 1 or 2, maybe 0. I wrote a summary of how to best internalize LRB techniques, for myself, which has worked.

PM me and I can send you a bunch of advice/resouces I found useful."

I'm a junior and I'm just now realizing that I want to apply to law school. I'm expecting a GPA of at least 3.6 from a top 15 private university; I would like to compliment that with a high LSAT score. I would appreciate the advice/resources that you found useful. Your PM box is full.

I'm an eager and overly idealistic freshman. Humor me.

I would highly recommend both the LR and LG Bibles. I scored a 161 cold, then ended up with a 174 on the December LSAT, after a month and a half of rigorous self-study from the Bibles and roughly 15-20 PrepTests.
