Description
Although it’s only 35 minutes and 26-28 questions, the Reading Comprehension section of the LSAT is miserable. No one really knows how to study for it, and the same prep books that are great for logical reasoning and logic games are often useless for the reading section. I trust you don’t have a lot of time to prepare, so I’ll skip a lengthy introduction about who I am. But I started out getting 5-10 reading comprehension questions wrong, and after following the program in this book I got a 177 on my LSAT. So while I have no idea if this program will work for you, it worked for me. If you can put in the work (no lies this program isn’t easy), it will probably work for you too. I can’t make any promises, but I’m by no means exceptionally intelligent.
However, I can promise that the advice in this book is unique. Some of it is backed by science and some of it is backed by my experience. But all of it is backed by something, and I won’t tell you about hypothetical students named Jack Boggs (or whatever his name is; that character in all the Princeton Review Books).
Here’s what we go over. In step 1, we go through the advice you’ve heard and the advice in Prep books. We sort out what’s good and what’s worthless. After that, we get into the good stuff. In step two, we provide little appreciated techniques and tricks for answering the test questions. Next we show you how to relax before the LSAT, since as we will explain being relaxed and confident is vital to answering the questions correctly. Oh and don’t worry, we won’t ask you to do breathing exercises and stupid stuff like that. In step 4, we show you how to increase your speed on the Reading Comprehension section. A lot of people have trouble finishing, and most people blame this on slow reading. However, the truth is that failure to finish is a problem of inadequate test taking speed, and test taking speed can be enhanced with the right training program. You can use this same program to increase your speed on any section of the LSAT. Finally, in step 5 we tell you how to study for reading comprehension in a way that will help you actually get more questions right on exam day. Practice tests are vital, but there are a lot of other things you can do that help as well.
So are you up for the challenge?
