LSAT Practice Sequencing Game 1

We’ve seen an introduction to sequencing games and how to deal with their setups and questions. Now let’s take a look at a real LSAT Practice Sequencing Game to put those principles into action.

This is the first practice game in a series of articles about LSAT sequencing games. The series includes:

LSAT Practice Sequencing Game 1

Give yourself 8-10 minutes and answer the following questions using the TestSherpa method:

LSAT Assumption Secrets

The LSAT asks you for the assumption, but in order to get to the assumption you must fully understand the conclusion and the supporting evidence. In that since, you’re doing all the work of a conclusion question and then some. Don’t just dive into the answers, try to come up with a prephrase based on your understanding of the argument.

This is the final article in a series of lesson articles introducing you to LSAT Assumption Questions. The series includes:

LSAT Science Passage Questions

Now that we’ve formed our outline for our science passage, let’s take a look at the questions. This is the third in a series of articles about LSAT science passage questions. The series includes:

LSAT Science Passage Question 1: Macro Question

The macro question we presented you with at the beginning of this lesson was a “primary purpose,” question. As you know from the lesson on Reading Comprehension questions, you can often discard two or three of the answer choices just by reading the first word and comparing to your understanding of the tone of the passage.

LSAT Grouping Sketches

Let’s take a look at some common techniques for sketching LSAT logic games. This is the second article in a series of articles about LSAT logic games. The series includes:

LSAT Grouping Sketches

There are two basic approaches to sketching grouping games. One is to make vertical columns for each group, another is to make boxes. TestSherpa makes boxes so that it’s easy to differentiate a grouping sketch from a matching sketch if you have extra time and return to a game during the test. If you prefer columns that’s fine, just make sure you do your sketches the same way every time you practice so that it’s second nature come test day.

Strengthen LSAT Questions

You’ve seen how the central assumption is the key to weakening and strengthening on the LSAT test. Now let’s see how to work with strengthen LSAT questions by analyzing one.

This is the second in a series of articles on Weakening and Strengthening questions on the LSAT Test. The series includes the following articles:

Logic Games Sketches

Almost all puzzles are easier to solve if you have a sketch to work with. A sketch is just a simple visualization of the situation. The simpler the sketch the better; however, be as detailed as you need to be to fit the rules in. Do not try to save time by throwing down a sloppy sketch. You’ll lose that time and more trying to make sense of the mess later.

This is the second in a series of articles that discusses the TestSherpa LSAT Method for Logic Games. The series includes the following articles:

Weakening and Strengthening on the LSAT

A common LSAT question type asks you to weaken or strengthen an argument. The LSAT is an excellent predictor or your success in law school. If you learn to think like the test requires, you’ll also learn skills that will help you get better grades. So it makes sense that the LSAT would ask you to weaken and strengthen arguments, since you’ll be spending a lot of time doing that in law school.

This is the first in a series of articles on Weakening and Strengthening questions on the LSAT Test. The series includes the following articles:

LSAT Practice Assumptions

Now it’s time to put your knowledge of LSAT assumption questions into practice. We’re going to show you LSAT assumption questions that are just like the ones you will find on the actual LSAT test.

This is the fourth in a series of lesson articles introducing you to LSAT Assumption Questions. The series includes:

Discovering LSAT Assumptions

Since the assumption of an LSAT argument is the unstated portion of the argument, a key skill for the LSAT test is finding the hidden assumption. What is it that the author intends or implies but does not say outright?

This is the second in a series of lesson articles introducing you to LSAT Assumption Questions. The series includes:

Weaken LSAT Questions

In the last article, we practiced finding the central assumption of an LSAT argument in order to strengthen it. Our next step is to take the process a bit further and weaken an LSAT argument. To weaken an argument, you must find the central assumption and attack it. It is as if you are finding additional evidence among the answer choices that refutes the central assumption.

This is the third and final article in a series of articles on Weakening and Strengthening questions on the LSAT Test. The series includes the following articles:
