Increasing LSAT Reading Comprehension Scores

Seriously, reading a lot really helps. Make an effort to improve the quality (difficulty/"grade-level") of what you read.

Since LSAT Reading Comp passages are more difficult than the average BuzzFeed article, make an effort to read articles and books with a relatively higher Flesch-Kincaid score (not ones that's gone through some version of xkcd's simplewriter).

Why would you want to go outside of the actual passages? Have you truly worked through all 400+ LSAT Reading Comp passages? (If so, review them again. There's no need to go outside of them.)

However, what can help is reading up on the sorts of topics that LSAC tends to write about, just so you're familiar with them (people like to read The Economist for this purpose). That makes them less scary and quicker to digest on LSAT Test Day.

I actually categorized all LSAT Reading Comp passages by topic a few years ago.

Outside of the LSAT, I'd try to read something relatively challenging on a regular basis (I just mean some kind of nonfiction more substantive than the average news article.)
