Passage mapping
Create a concise map of each passage before answering questions.
Reading Comprehension on the LSAT is about structure and evidence. The safest answer is the one you can support with the passage. Your goal is to map the authors argument, track shifts in viewpoint, and answer questions with disciplined evidence checks.
- Map structure before answering questions
- Main idea controls most answer choices
- Contrast words signal shifts in viewpoint
- Short maps reduce rereading
- Use the map to reject detail traps
After your next RC passage, write a three-bullet map and compare it to the questions you missed. Did the map address those misses?
