LSAT
LSAT Preparation Class
This course will show you how to improve your score on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). The most reliable way to improve your score is to treat the LSAT as a subject itself, and to acquire effective habits for doing questions. The test does not evaluate your creative or imaginative faculties, nor does it test academic sophistication and argumentative ability. Indeed, some useful academic skills can be counterproductive by leading you to trap answers and sapping valuable time. What does help is a clear sense of how the test itself is constructed.
The LSAT is a timed, paper-and-pencil test that contains four sections of 101 questions that count towards a scaled score, ranging from 120 to 180. One section is called Analytical Reasoning ("Games"), two are called Logical Reasoning ("Arguments"), and the fourth is Reading Comprehension.
- The course will familiarize students with various types of Games situations, and the most effective methods for handling them.
- Students will learn how to restructure the information in an Arguments passage, be trained to attend to its most significant aspects and identify recurring situations, and develop a facility for distinguishing a "good-sounding" answer from a "bad-sounding" answer.
- For Reading Comprehension, students will see why a scholarly mindset is of less value than a practical one.
Our experienced instructor is committed to providing students with skills and tips that work. The course includes twenty actual LSAT, and the course fee includes all materials.
