LSAT Reading Comprehension Tip: Quiz Yourself On The Passages

I had one student who improved quite a bit on Reading Comprehension, so I asked her how she did it.

She emphasized that it's important to understand the structure of the passage, and what each paragraph does. That's something I address in my reading comprehension guide, but I didn't tell you how to get better at seeing the structure.

Here's what she did. After reading a passage, she quizzed herself:

• What was each paragraph about?
• Where were certain key points mentioned. Could she locate them?
• She had a friend quiz her as well. She would have to find random facts from the passage.

This was obviously not a normal timed section exercise. This was supplementary, but it helped her get the structure down.

**n.b.**You do not need to memorize details. But you should know roughly where certain details can be found, so that you can locate them quickly if needed. That's what she was practicing.
