LSAT · Advice for improving LR

@SerinJeon I will start asking myself this question during my BR process. Most of the easy questions I get wrong I either 1) overlooked a very simple trap in the answer choice, or 2) blanked on a very simple concept caused by either overthinking or making faulty assumptions.

In BR I figure out where I went wrong 95% of the time, but I have not been making a mental note of how I will avoid this in the future.

Thank you for your response!

@AltanM This is an interesting idea, I can definitely see how this would help in my situation. I will play around with this strategy over my next few sections - thank you!

@AriVilker1 Thank you very much for your detailed reply, I appreciate your insight.

I usually find myself able to flag the incorrect level 4 and 5 questions, however, I will very rarely flag the easy questions that I do end up getting incorrect. This leads me to believe that they are silly mistakes, because during BR I will get them correct 95% of the time, in addition to understanding where I went wrong during the timed attempt.

I find my speed for the first 10 questions to be quite strong, only taking about 10/11 minutes on average. However, I found that slowing it down to about 12/13 minutes has helped me reduce the number of easy questions I get wrong, without impacting my accuracy on the following 15 questions.

I will take your advice and continue with what I've been doing. Thanks again!

Advice for improving LR

Hi,

I am currently studying for the August 2026 LSAT. I wrote the Jan 2026 test and scored a 157, and I am aiming for a 165 this time around.

I am currently scoring around a -5 on RC sections (I am happy with this), and around a -5/-4 on LR.

However, I wanted to get some advice as to how I can continue to improve on LR, ideally I can reach a consistent -4/-3.

I've noticed that during timed sections, I will usually get 1/2 easy question incorrect, followed by 2/3 hardest level questions incorrect. During BR I will get it down to -1/-2.

Does anyone have any suggestions on the most efficient way to close this gap?

I am currently drilling my priority tags, doing around 3 timed sections a week, and BRing everything I do.

Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide.

Thank you in advance.
