Logical Reasoning Practice from the GMAT

LSATman1LSATman1 Alum Member
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.aspx

The 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. :)

    After a very brief glance ... this could be helpful for some, at least to break up the LSAC-sponsored monotony ;) An idea similar to this might be writing little "essays" based on actual LSAT stimuli, similar to blind review process, but in more narrative form. So perhaps borrowing from the GMAT's format but using the LSAT's content.
