Nate Morris is an academic tutor and developer who created MasterLSAT as a comprehensive online resource for those studying for entrance into law school. Through a series of videos, Nate Morris takes students through the various sections of the LSAT and also goes through actual test questions one by one.
As he describes it, the Logical Reasoning section is one that occupies a middle position between Logic Games and its “raw logic” and Reading Comprehension and its strong verbal emphasis. In practical terms, this means that mastery of this section tends to lead to positive results throughout the rest of the test.
The 24 to 26 short questions of the Logical Reasoning section present short paragraphs, followed by a multiple choice question with five possible answers. Starting off with relatively straight forward questions, they get more complex as one progresses.
The ideal approach involves reading the question before tackling the paragraph, as this provides an efficient way of scanning the information presented for the relevant details. While reading, it also helps to try to predict the correct answer. Once this becomes a habit, and becomes familiar with the types of questions, it will not be uncommon to come up with the right answer without even having read much of the material.
