Logical Reasoning is 50% of your score — start here

LR has 10 distinct question types. Assumption and Strengthen/Weaken questions are the most common and the most learnable. Master argument structure first: identify the conclusion, premises, and the gap between them. Every LR question exploits this gap in some way.

Logic Games: the most improvable section

Most LSAT students score below their potential in Logic Games because they approach each game as unique. Games follow patterns — linear ordering, grouping, sequencing, hybrid. Learn the pattern for each game type, then apply it mechanically. Students who do 50+ games with detailed review routinely improve 6–8 points in this section alone.

Reading Comprehension: active engagement beats passive reading

RC rewards candidates who identify the author's main point, tone, and reasoning structure before the questions. Read each paragraph's function, not just its content. Comparative reading passages appear once per section — the relationship between the two passages (agreement, disagreement, complementary) is always tested.

3-month LSAT study plan

Month 1: Logical Reasoning fundamentals — one question type per week, 30+ questions per type. Month 2: Logic Games — one game type per week, untimed then timed. RC passages daily. Full sections on weekends. Month 3: Full timed practice tests every 3 days. Detailed review of every wrong answer. Target 170+ on three consecutive PTs before sitting.
