LSAT Reading Comprehension Tutoring FAQ
The LSAT Reading Comprehension section is filled with dense reading passages and difficult vocabulary. Specialized LSAT tutoring can help you navigate through it. Whether you are struggling to pace your work appropriately, to draw the abstract conclusions that certain problems require, or to find the pertinent information in a dense reading passage, knowledgeable LSAT tutors have the skills and tools to help you master the difficulties you face. Your tutor individualizes each session and study plan to your needs. Whether you are opening a prep book for the first time or will be taking the exam for the sixth time, your LSAT tutor can help you gain the skills and knowledge you will need on test day.
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 ability to critically read and analyze dense legal materials is paramount in law programs, so learning these skills now can not only benefit you on the LSAT Reading Comprehension section, but it can also help you hone the foundational skills you will rely on in law school. Learn to parse through dense material, puzzle through difficult vocabulary, and compare important documents with the help of a LSAT Reading Comprehension tutor.
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. While these features make the section difficult on its own, this difficulty is compounded by the section's restrictive time limit. Specialized LSAT Reading Comprehension tutoring can help you learn to read speedily while picking out a passage's relevant content and your tutor has the tips and tricks that can help you achieve your goals in this section. Your private tutor can help you develop effective time management skills, which will help ensure that you are able to get to all of the questions on the test.
Tutoring is available on a flexible scheduling system, and the one-on-one approach means your tutor can diagnose your particular weaknesses and focus your studying accordingly. Because they can work with you on an individual level, they can adapt the way they teach to fit your particular learning style. Once they understand how you learn best, they can help devise a study plan that will make the most of your strengths and mitigate your weaknesses.

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.
