LSAT Preparation 5

Question 1

What is the purpose of 'error logging' or keeping an 'error journal' during LSAT prep?

Accepted Answer

To systematically record why you missed questions so you can target recurring weaknesses

Answer

An error journal reveals patterns in your mistakes — for example, consistently missing 'Weaken' questions or misreading conditional logic — so study time targets real weaknesses.

Question 2

Which LSAT question type asks you to identify information that would help resolve an apparent contradiction in a stimulus?

Accepted Answer

Resolve the Paradox (Reconcile)

Answer

'Resolve the Paradox' or 'Explain the Discrepancy' questions present two seemingly conflicting facts and ask which answer choice reconciles them.

Question 3

When is the best time to cancel an LSAT score?

Accepted Answer

Within 6 days of receiving your score, if it is lower than expected

Answer

LSAC allows score cancellation within 6 days of your official score release, giving you time to review the score before deciding whether to cancel.

Question 4

A student consistently scores 158 on full PrepTests but wants to reach 165. What is the most effective next step?

Accepted Answer

Drill weaker question types intensively, then reintegrate with timed full sections

Answer

Targeted section and question-type drilling addresses specific score gaps more efficiently than simply repeating full tests without diagnosing what is being missed.

Question 5

What does the 'Logical Reasoning stimulus' refer to?

Accepted Answer

The short argument or passage preceding each LR question

Answer

The stimulus is the brief argument, fact pattern, or passage that each Logical Reasoning question is based on — reading it carefully is the first step to answering correctly.
