How do you answer LSAT Logical Reasoning Questions?

Answer 1

Be Proactive

If you take the time to break down the argument, to find the holes in the logic, and to understand the argument forward and backward, then it doesn't matter what question they ask.

If you understand the argument, you can weaken it. If you understand the argument, you can identify the main conclusion. If you understand the argument, you can do whatever the LSAT asks of you.

Don’t Be Passive

If you go into an argument searching for the main conclusion or a necessary assumption, on the other hand, you might find it. But you can often miss a key detail that completely changes how you interpret that argument or the most-tempting wrong answer.

Don’t trade a top score for a few easy victories. Most harder questions depend on how well you understand the passage—and to spot what’s wrong on your own. If you keep practicing reading the question first, you’ll likely score some easy points but fail to develop the chops to get those harder questions.
