Often, what makes a difference between a hard question and an easy question on the LSAT is not the question itself but the kind of answer that we are expected to find.

Sometimes, the question might look very challenging, but before you decide to delve into it, it’s often worth looking at the answers and seeing if you can eliminate one or more obviously wrong answers. Sometimes, you will only be left with one possible answer, which will eliminate the need to thoroughly understand the question altogether.

A common mistake in LSAT preparation

Many LSAT takers I encounter in San Francisco and around the Bay Area believe that all the need to succeed at the LSAT and get a high score is learn a few techniques and tricks and they will be on their way toward a 170 or higher score. The reality, however, is that while the “tricks” are important to learn and incorporate into solving the LSAT problems, time and practice are essential to improving the score.

Obviously, LSAT is just as much about solving questions quickly as it is about solving them correctly.  And speed only comes with experience, with practice with “mileage” if you will.  Solving LSAT questions faster is like a muscle that you need to train after learning and feel comfortable using all the effective techniques.

This is especially true with regards to games sections. There is a limited amount of kind of games that you will encounter on the lsat, but to be able to solve 4 games in 35 minutes as required on the LSAT, you have to be thoroughly familiar with how to go about solving each kind.  This ability comes after solving many games of each kind, and there is no shortcut to this process.
