To increase and better my time on questions for studying and for this test, many have recommended reading. Is there anything specific, and types of reading that will specifically aid me in increasing my time to meet the target time?

    General consensus is too just focus on getting your reps in utilizing the passages from old exams. Focusing on comprehending the main points brought up in the core curriculum and being able to recall them without writing anything down.

    Main point / type of passage, authors perspective, other perspectives, structure of the passage, and main conclusion.

    However if you are long studying and you want to do some extra reading the general criteria I would recommend is to look for books/ articles that are:

    1. Way outside your area of study

    2. Use outdated / unfamiliar language.

    Here’s a few books / concepts I found interesting while studying:

    Economics:

    Wealth of Nations by Adam smith

    Das kapital by Karl Marx

    Humanities:

    The Republic by Plato

    Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

    Seemingly any text written by Nietzsche

    Scientific theories:

    Natural selection

    Climate change

    Biomagnification

    Speciation

    Predator/ prey dynamics

    What Prions are.

    Arts:

    Colour theory

    Critical theory

    What Frescoes are (for some reason the lsat writers just love obsessing over them as if they were a gift from god.)
