The limitation of preparation by books is the fewer number of practice questions which are not sufficient for effective practice and lengthy methods to solve the questions.

LMAT preparation requires a large number of practice questions in each section. The methods used in the books base on American educational background and the mathematical methods used to solve the questions are lengthy where as most of the questions on LMAT or GMAT can be solved easily by mathematical logic.
