LSAT Tip: Focus on Question Types

I find it helpful for students when students focus on the question types that they are getting wrong on the LR section of the test (and even, to an extent, the Reading Comprehension section.)

Each question type (strenghthen questions, weaken questions, necessary assumption questions, sufficient assumption questions, parallel reasoning questions, etc.) require a slightly (and quite nuanced) different approach, and when you approach each question based on the type of question that it is, you're playing the LSAT game at a higher level. I even go as far as to have students keep data on the question types they are getting wrong. The scores start to tick up as each previously problematic question type is mastered. This may not won't work equally well for everyone. Learning the LSAT is learning a skill far more than learning content. Be flexible and patient as you develop the skill.
