If anyone is looking for supplemental practice (in addition to actual LSAT questions) in identifying assumptions and in strengthening or weakening arguments, I suggest looking at the essay prompts for the GMAT:
http://www.mba.com/us/the-gmat-exam/gmat-exam-format-timing/analytical-writing-assessment/analysis-of-an-argument.aspxThe website lists more than 100 prompts that could be used as essay topics on the GMAT. Each prompt presents a weak argument that makes unsupported assumptions. The test-taker is supposed to identify the assumptions and recommend ways to strengthen or weaken the argument.
This is also helpful if you are also applying to business school and need to take the GMAT.
