Logical Reasoning Question Frequency

Question

What question types on the logical reasoning section are tested most frequently?

Answer 1

The most common question type on the LSAT are flaw questions, which appear about 8 times per test - although logical fallacies in general appear in other question types as well, such as parallel flaw, strengthen, or weaken questions.

After flaw questions, inference questions and strengthen questions appear most frequently.

Answer 2

The most common questions on the test are not Flaws.

By far the most common are the Must Be True family.

Must be True, Supported, Role, & Main Conclusion make up about 33% of the overall test.

Flaws make up about 15% of the test, which is certainly a significant amount.

Strengthen / Weaken / Sufficient / Necessary Assumption / Paradox questions combined make up about 1/2 the test.

The least common by far are parallel reasoning / parallel flaw (usually about 2 per section) and agree/disagree questions where you compare two speaker's arguments.
