Preparing for the Unexpected on the LSAT
The reading comprehension section of the LSAT contains a variety of different types of passages. Students may encounter passages relating to knowledge areas for which they don’t have a strong background. How do you effectively prepare for a test notorious for its diversity and unpredictability?
Substance Over Jargon: Focusing on the Bigger Picture
Since most law school applicants come from the humanities and social sciences, many have a tough time with passages in the LSAT relating to STEM areas such as chemistry, biology, and technology. If you find yourself struggling, don’t panic! You do not need to know all the big science words in a passage in order to understand its overall meaning — in fact, some of them may be there in order to distract you!
The truth is that every LSAT question contains the information you need to solve it, no matter your background knowledge. In this episode, you’ll discover powerful strategies that will help you approach reading comprehension passages holistically, analytically, and strategically, so you can achieve your best possible results.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- How to pinpoint the types of questions you should be targeting during your study sessions
- How to identify which words are “make-or-break” and which are inconsequential, so you can prioritize your focus
- Why it’s important to pay attention to the layout pattern of a reading comprehension passage
- A simple daily exercise that will help you become far more comfortable with scientific writing
