How to avoid LSAT mistakes

tl;dr Taking an extra few seconds to make sure you understand everything correctly is REALLY worth it.


Logic Games:

Spend a few extra seconds when after you diagram each rule to double-check and make sure you diagrammed it CORRECTLY. A lot of times, students diagram the REVERSE or make some other kind of mistake.


Logical Reasoning:

Always take the time to read and understand the stimulus thoroughly BEFORE going through the answer choices.


Reading Comprehension:

Be able to point to specific lines from the passage to support any answer choice you pick.

(This is especially true for detail or inference questions.)

Of course, double-checking things can take a bit longer, and the strict timing on the LSAT makes this a tricky balance.


A lot of students have been asking me about how to speed up on timed practice tests, and I've actually written an article on this exact topic:

Check it out and lemme know if it helps you.

P.S. In response to my last article, LSAT student Liz shared her Spotify playlist for LSAT studying.

P.P.S. In my next article, I'll share a big difference between most Logic Games and what you'll see on Test Day.
