LSAT content areas

Logical Reasoning

Short arguments. Official items ask you to analyze, evaluate, and complete reasoning. Practice naming the conclusion and the exact support before you look at the choices.

Reading Comprehension

Longer, complex passages similar to law-school reading. Questions ask about purpose, structure, and what the author is and is not committed to.

Study tips for LSAT

Mark the conclusion before the choices

Logical Reasoning items collapse when you argue with a premise. Underline the claim the author wants you to accept, then see which answer attacks or helps that claim only.

Read for what the author is not saying

Reading Comprehension trap answers add a policy the passage never adopts. Prefer the choice that stays inside the stated purpose and qualifications.

Schedule Argumentative Writing early

LSAC administers writing separately and makes it available eight days before the multiple-choice test. Complete it on time so a missing writing sample does not hold a score report.
