Applying to law school can be an overwhelming process, and taking the LSAT can be the greatest challenge in assembling your applications. Make certain that you have the academic support you need to feel confident in taking this important exam.

The LSAT Reading Comprehension section has four sets of reading questions with five to eight questions related to each passage. Sets with two passages are also included to test how well test takers can discern the relationship between the two passages. For example, the two passages might demonstrate a point and its counterpoint, a principle and its application, or a generalization and a specific instance.
Reading Comprehension tutors can help you learn to recognize each kind of textual relationship tested on the LSAT. Whether presented independently or paired together, the passages on the LSAT Reading Comprehension section cover a wide range of topics and usually include obscure vocabulary and complex rhetorical structures.

The student and I practiced a analytical reasoning and logic games section. We attempted to increase his accuracy in logic games and his ability to pick out details on certain types of logical reasoning questions.
This session the students continued to work on logic games. We went over a variety of games, starting with some basic linear games to make sure that their skills in doing these types of games are improving. The students seemed to be doing better setting up the games and making inferences, so we moved on to a new kind of game that we hadn't touched yet - sequencing games. We did a few practice hypotheticals setting up sequencing games and moved on to actual games. After doing a few they seemed to be more comfortable with these, so we started on some grouping games as well.

We also discussed approaches for specific types of questions and we briefly touched on some LR and Logic Games points and on overall test strategy.
