The Exam at a Glance

This subject Online Center follows the current LSAT structure. Its questions are independent study material, not official LSAC questions or score predictions.

One scored sectionRead dense, unfamiliar material with control: track the structure, separate the author’s view from background, and answer from the passage rather than outside knowledge.
Four passage setsRead dense, unfamiliar material with control: track the structure, separate the author’s view from background, and answer from the passage rather than outside knowledge.
Single + comparative passagesRead dense, unfamiliar material with control: track the structure, separate the author’s view from background, and answer from the passage rather than outside knowledge.
5–8 questions per setRead dense, unfamiliar material with control: track the structure, separate the author’s view from background, and answer from the passage rather than outside knowledge.

LSAT Reading Comprehension Study Online Center Lessons

Open one focused lesson, learn the move, and then use a quiz or practice set to prove that the reasoning is working.

1. Build a passage map

Core move: Track the job of each paragraph instead of trying to memorize every sentence.

Focus: Write a five-word label for each paragraph and mark the author’s main turn with a transition word.

Try this: A passage may move from a common view to a criticism and then to a qualified alternative; that movement is the map.
2. Separate text from inference

Core move: Distinguish what the passage states from what it supports.

Focus: For an inference, choose the strongest conclusion that must or most likely follows—not a possibility that merely fits.

Try this: If a passage says a rule applies in three cases, do not infer that it applies in every case.
3. Handle comparative sets

Core move: Read for the relationship between the authors, not just two isolated summaries.

Focus: Record one sentence of agreement and one sentence of disagreement before answering relationship questions.

Try this: Two authors may agree that a problem exists while disagreeing about its cause or remedy.
4. Answer from evidence

Core move: Use the passage as the boundary of your knowledge.

Focus: Read all choices, return to the relevant lines, and reject choices that are too broad, too strong, or outside the text.

Try this: A familiar fact from your own background is not a valid answer unless the passage supports it.
