LSAT Tip of the Week: Reading Comprehension

readingcomp.jpgThe Reading Comprehension section tests your ability to read and understand lengthy passages. In order to truly master this section, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, while you are reading make sure you are annotating as you go. These passages are long and full of minor details, and by taking notes as you read the passage you will save precious time while answering the questions. While annotating, develop a system that works for you- and stick to it. Personally, I would suggest circling or highlighting important concepts, words, or people. In addition, make a note of what each major paragraph entailed. By actively reading and making a few notes, you will be able to quickly and correctly answer each question. Just like the other sections in the LSAT, this section has various, reoccurring question types.
