Editorial Reviews

From the Author

My goal is to introduce readers to the LSAT and my methods as painlessly and cheaply as possible. What I mean is...

Painless: There's not a lot of fluff in any of my LSAT books, but in this one I pared down the BS even further than usual. All the major bases are covered, and in an extremely short amount of time the reader will be armed with the basic strategies required to attack the test. Start here. If you like my style and want to go deeper, you can.
Cheap: I'm selling this book at cost -- by the time I pay my LSAC license fee and Amazon's printing and distribution costs, I make exactly nothing from this book. It's the most I can give without actually losing money.
Hope you like it! I'd love to hear what you think.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I teach LSAT classes in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and online. Please call me any time: 415-518-0630.

I took the official LSAT in February of 2007, and scored 179. In 2008, I enrolled at UC Hastings Law. It was the best school within biking distance from my home in San Francisco's Mission District. I was 32 years old at the time, and I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I already had a Master's degree in journalism. I already had an MBA. I'd already held, hated, and supremely sucked at a succession of jobs.

I graduated from Hastings but I happily didn't take the bar. Because the same year I started law school, I discovered my true passion and obvious calling in life. I'm not a lawyer. I'm a teacher.

I know it's my calling because, for the first time in my life, I'm doing the thing that 1) I'm good at, 2) I love, and 3) I can get paid for. If this describes you at your current occupation, then please walk away from the LSAT. For good. Seriously! Because professionally, that's as good as it's going to get.

For the rest of you, I'll assume you haven't yet found your calling. If law school will help you find it, then I'll do my damnedest to help you get in. My goal isn't just to squeak you into a mediocre school. My goal is to get you a scholarship, and/or help you get into a truly great school. My personal information is included in all my books. Call me, please. Email me. I'm here to help.

The book I needed!
5 Stars
The book I needed!
The conversational writing style feels like a set of one-on-one tutoring seasons from a friend that definately knows the subject matter. It held my attention and the humor and cursing really helped make the key points memorable.In contrast to the big companies that write LSAT books, Fox doesn't employ complex jargon or waste time with filler. I like this.I took a practice test after reading this book. There were 6 questions that I specifically answered differently than I would have if I didn't read and remember what is in this book. Overall the book helped but I know I picked up at least six points!The book helped me a lot and I enjoyed reading it. Also, the author includes his phone number and email so you can reach out with questions. I wrote to him and he responded!

This book is so awesome!! I don't want to mislead anyone- it's a very short and simple book. But, it is truly the premier primer on introducing what the LSAT is- literally. I have been terrified of 'starting' the LSAT journey because of my suboptimal scores on standardized tests. Prior to reading this book, I felt that standardized test controlled me and I had no power over my score. This book helped me understand that YOU/me have most of the control because the test is just what it is and YOU/me just have to know what that is to get our best score! If you understand the test then your score should certainly increase with diligent practice and genuine commitment.

I like this book but love the author more because he dares to go deeper and helps the student understand the LSAT instead of just teaching it. His book reminds me of the saying, "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime."

My fears of the LSAT were captured and killed by this book. I am ready for war! I rarely write reviews because frankly I don't have time. But, it was the reviews of others that prompted me to buy this book so I feel like I owe it to others to say "Hey, this book has changed the LSAT game for me." I will be able to study better since I know that I have more control over my score than LSAC. As a matter of fact, for the first time I am ready for the games to begin. Thank you Nathan Fox for helping me realize that I can kill this Goliath!

Because I believe this author is truly dedicated to helping others get their best score on LSAT, I have purchased and will be starting his online LSAT prep course, Fox LSAT on Demand, as soon as materials/textbooks arrive. I recommend that others read this book prior to studying any prep materials. For example, if you go to the gym and do 100 squats everyday but never learn proper form, you could potentially be wasting your time and see no results or even worse injure yourself. It's better to understand the LSAT before you tackle it. Do yourself a favor and start with proper form. This book is the way to start.

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2017
It was a fun read, very clear and concise and to the point. I would recommend it as the title of the book says, it's an intro. So if you are wanting to know more about the LSAT, read this short book first and then get into the nitty gritty study materials like kaplan and the LSAT study bibles. It's very thin and light weight. The only thing I don't like about it, is the author's input at the beginning where he talks you out of taking the LSAT. Kind of weird to me. I get what he's trying to do with being down to Earth... but it's a bit discouraging. Maybe he should have put that at the end of the book!

It was a great way for someone like myself who is almost 20yrs removed from college and the law school admissions process to get back into the game. I enjoyed the read. Nathan gives you the right mindset in which to approach the test, and keeps it light and interesting under the circumstances!

Have you ever purchased a chunky test reviewer? Did this (insert brand name here) book leave you more confused and agitated than when you began studying?

Nathan Fox's "Introducing the LSAT" is not that kind of book. He is brash and straight-to-the point... but in a good way. The way that forces you to get off of your hammock and actually take the time to practice.

Yes, one of Fox's secrets is that there is no secret to getting a higher score - just practice. So how does this book help, you may ask. "Introducing..." breaks down each section of the LSAT and explains the process and reasoning behind his solutions. It explains why some choices are BS while some may initially smell like BS, but are not. Instead of simply listing an answer key at the back of the book, he takes the time to elaborate on how he arrives at each and every answer.

Most importantly, he encourages us to take a combative attitude towards this standardized test. For reading comprehension questions, he urges us to ask the test makers, "Why are you wasting my time with this [passage]?" I have found that this mindset to be more effective than, "I don't get this text!"

"Introducing the LSAT" is a compact booklet that is dense with practical test taking tips. Most of what Fox preaches can also be applied onto other standardized tests. Find out why it has helped so may students on their path to law school.

Reviewed in France on January 31, 2022
This is the resource I decided to use as a starting point for my LSAT studying. In this book, Nathan covers the types of questions that may appear on the LSAT for reading comprehension, logic games, and logical reasoning. Nathan's explanations of answers are helpful and the section at the end of the book is helpful as well for knowing where to begin while applying to law schools and beginning the process.

I would recommend this book to anyone studying for the LSAT.

Ok! I've only gotten through half of this book since I cracked it open last night, but I already feel smarter. Lol. I could do without the curse words of course. However, I stopped twice and tried to apply what I learnt in the book to actual practice quizzes on Khan academy and I aced both short quizzes. That's good enough for me, as I just started studying for the LSAT and had no idea what I was getting myself into.

This was the first ever book I bought to begin preparing for the LSAT and I was very happy with it. I had no idea how to even begin studying for the LSAT and this book was a really great way to start the process. Its engaging and makes you feel like you can really begin to tackle the problems on the LSAT. I would highly recommend to anyone.
