Preview of the the lightweight LSAT
If you want to preview the lightweight LSAT system, here a few techniques to try out that might help you get an extra point on your next test.
Do the IF questions before the WHICH questions in the Games section
(Or actually, do the easy LIST question first, then the IFs.)
Why it works: the IFs (and easy LISTs) will give you valid hypos that you can use to prove or disprove answers on the WHICHes.
Learn about LIST, IF, and WHICH questions.
Eliminate strong answers in the Reading section
Why it works: passages tend to be nuanced, so strong answers tend to be unprovable.
Anchor yourself in a basic understanding of the argument before you read the answers in the Reasoning section
Why it works: You don't always need to spot the problem with the argument. You must always understand what the argument said.
Learn how to boil arguments down.
Stop and breathe to save time
When you feel rushed or stressed out, stop for a second to regain control.
Why it works: Everyone struggles to maintain focus. Top scorers are just better at noticing when they lose focus and then bringing their focus back to what they need to do.
