Read for structure, not content
You do not need to remember what the passage says. You need to know where it says it. Every LSAT passage has a main point, an author's viewpoint, at least one counterview, and a scope. If you can map those four elements in two minutes, every question becomes a look-up problem. Combine this section with a daily Logical Reasoning drill — reading habits transfer between the two.
Section pacing
Four passages, 35 minutes. Target a 7-6-7-7 split. If a passage runs long, bail to the next passage. A rushed passage is worse than a skipped one. Rehearse pacing under real test-day pressure with a four-section timed simulation, then translate your raw score into a scaled result using the LSAT score calculator.
