Frequently Asked Questions

The Reading Comprehension section challenges most test-takers because it requires both speed and deep understanding—you need to grasp complex arguments, identify author tone, and answer nuanced questions in limited time. Common struggles include managing the 35-minute time constraint across four passages, distinguishing between what the passage says versus what you infer, and falling into trap answer choices that sound plausible but misrepresent the text. Many students also struggle with dense academic passages on unfamiliar topics, which can slow comprehension and increase anxiety.

Most students see meaningful improvement with focused, personalized instruction—typically 3-5 points over 4-8 weeks of consistent practice, though improvement varies based on your starting point and effort. Students who struggle with pacing often see faster gains by learning strategic reading techniques, while those working to eliminate careless errors may need more time to build consistency. The key is identifying your specific weak areas (main idea questions, inference questions, comparative reading, etc.) and targeting those systematically rather than practicing passively.

Working with a tutor for Reading Comprehension means getting real-time feedback on your reasoning, learning to recognize patterns in how the LSAT constructs wrong answers, and developing a personalized strategy based on your specific challenges—whether that's speed, inference skills, or managing test anxiety. Self-study often means practicing passages in isolation without understanding why you missed questions or how to adjust your approach. A tutor also helps you build confidence by explaining the logic behind correct answers and teaching you to spot trap answers before they derail you.

Your first session typically involves reviewing your LSAT practice test results to identify patterns—whether you're missing questions due to timing, comprehension, or strategy issues. The tutor will work through a passage with you to understand your current approach, then introduce targeted techniques for the areas where you're losing points. You'll leave with a clear picture of your strengths, specific weaknesses to address, and a study plan tailored to your goals and timeline.

Pacing on Reading Comprehension isn't about reading faster—it's about reading strategically. Effective approaches include identifying the passage structure and main argument on your first read, marking key phrases and transitions, and spending less time on details you can reference later. Many students waste time rereading or overthinking questions; learning to eliminate obviously wrong answers quickly and trust your reasoning saves critical seconds. A tutor can help you practice these strategies on actual LSAT passages until they become automatic, so you're not rushing through questions.

Most test-prep experts recommend completing 30-40 full-length LSAT practice tests to build the stamina and pattern recognition needed for test day, though you can start seeing improvement after 10-15 focused sessions. The value isn't in the volume alone—it's in reviewing every single question you miss to understand your reasoning errors. Working with a tutor helps you extract maximum learning from each practice test by identifying recurring mistakes and adjusting your strategy, rather than simply drilling more passages without reflection.

LSAT Reading Comprehension questions fall into several categories: Main Point (what's the passage primarily about), Detail (what does the passage explicitly state), Inference (what can you logically conclude), Function (why did the author include this phrase), and Comparative Reading (how do two passages relate). Each question type requires a different approach—Main Point questions reward careful reading of the argument structure, while Inference questions test your ability to distinguish between what's stated and what's implied. Understanding these categories helps you develop targeted strategies for each one.

Varsity Tutors connects you with experienced LSAT Reading Comprehension tutors who understand the section's unique demands and can adapt to your learning style. When you get matched with a tutor, you'll have access to someone with proven expertise in test strategy, passage analysis, and helping students overcome timing and anxiety issues.
