Gameplan
We want to maximize your score on the Logical Reasoning section, and we have
created an effective gameplan to ensure that your study time is efficient and to
allow you to approach each question with the best possible mindset. Here’s how we
organized the chapter to guarantee that your test preparation is in fact useful:
- X-ray of a Typical Logical Reasoning Question: First, we’ll
get familiar with the basics of a typical Logical Reasoning question and its
answer choices.
- Essential Concepts: Six core concepts are presented next, as
they are integral to mastering the Logical Reasoning section.
- Essential Strategy: This is an important method for
approaching all of the questions you’ll encounter in this section.
- Question Types: There are 11 question types for this section,
and we will go over every one and detail all the specific patterns, issues, and
traps you could encounter on test day. We will then show you how to tailor the
Essential Strategy, tackling each kind of question and working through examples
of each with a specific “battleplan.”
- The Real Deal:
NOTE: The “Real Deal” practice questions
are not included in the online version of this book.
Finally, we
will give you real LSAT practice questions so you can apply
what you’ve learned to the full practice test, including the two full Logical
Reasoning sections, at the end of this book.
Let’s get started.
