Logical Reasoning Tips

To round out our discussion on the different sections of the LSAT, today we're going to look at the logical reasoning portion. These sections will ask you to analyze arguments and evaluate their components. Much like the rest of the test, logical reasoning sections ask test-takers to first read a passage and then answer the follow-up questions.

Number of sections: 2
Length: 35 minutes for each
Format: 24-26 questions per section
Objectives: Analysis and evaluation of arguments
Question types: Assumptions, flaws, strengths, weaknesses, principle, analysis, inference, and application

The above format leaves test-takers with about 1.4 minutes per question.

A few tips to get you started with logical reasoning practice:
  • Watch for qualifying words like “many” and “some”
  • Pay attention to the wording of each question and answer choice
  • Analyze the passage's structure as well as its content
  • Diagram the arguments if helpful
