Law School News and LSAT Strategy

As we've previously written about, this summer, the LSAC quietly ended its partnership with Khan Academy and all free official LSAT prep materials are now available only at lawhub.lsac.org. Four official PrepTests are now offered, but these PrepTests do not offer explanations. So, it might be a good idea to save them for closer to your test day as a measure of how you're performing, instead of as a tool for learning and improving.

However, another resource, the official "Drill Sets", includes an extra 168 practice problems and the vast majority of them have never been included in prior LSAT prep materials.  This article is based on our YouTube playlist on Lawhub's logical reasoning drill set #1.

However, another resource, the official "Drill Sets", includes 14 additional passages and nearly 100 practice problems, the vast majority of them have never been included in prior LSAT prep materials.

While the LSAT Logical Reasoning section may seem to have an infinite number of potential scenarios and prompts, the vast majority of the problems found in the section follow basic rules governing argumentation that date back to the time of the Roman Empire. The key to succeeding on this section is following some consistent basic steps that will allow you to understand first what the question is asking you to do, second what the conclusion of the argument is, and lastly to predict what the answer should do to appropriately address the question task. This skill is the subject of today’s video tutorial with our Director of Online Tutoring – Stefan Maisnier.

This week, we will focus on an example of how to setup an analytical reasoning (logic games) question. Our practice question will be from the June 2007 LSAT.
