intro to reading comprehension
summary
the lsat reading comprehension (rc) section presents a significant challenge due to its dense material and strict time constraints, but adopting strategic approaches in both preparation and test-taking can markedly improve performance.
- the rc section includes 26 to 28 questions based on passages, demanding efficient time management within a 35-minute limit.
- effective study strategies emphasize understanding formal and informal logic before tackling rc passages and advocate for slow, strategic reading to build speed over time.
- test day strategies recommend prioritizing easier passages first, employing active reading to identify key disputes, and utilizing annotation for efficient reference.
- an 'easy first' strategy coupled with strategic guessing for unanswered questions can optimize scores under time pressure.
- the digital lsat format offers tools like passage-only mode and question flagging to aid in managing the reading and answering process.
