Lesson Notes
Section 1 / 14

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.

Short segments for focus-friendly pacing.
Key Points
  • 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
Reflection

After your next RC passage, write a three-bullet map and compare it to the questions you missed. Did the map address those misses?
