The shortest and most focussed of the three LNAT books I have tried, although lacks a bit of detail in places and some of the material on grammar doesn't seem to quite make sense.

Overall certainly worth a look, but not the best of the books I cam across.

The guide kicks off with a lot of irrelevant information about general application to medical school, UCAS, personal statement writing etc - not useless by any means, but definitely not brilliant.

The other sections seem to be of a better quality, but on the basis of the second chapter, I really wouldn't bother with this book - no academic text (especially one with an emphasis on comprehension and critical thinking) should contain ... Read More:

The book is an attempt to help students prepare for the Thinking Skill Assessment; one of the many oxbridge admissions tests. IT HAS LITTLE INFORMATION FOR OTHER TESTS.

Many of the practise questions are also copied from the sites sample test.
Better bet is to teach yourself using information on cambridge assessments site.
