Advanced Guides

10 Free in-depth LR guides, by question type.

01
Structure

Parallel Reasoning

This guide provides a structured framework for approaching Parallel Reasoning questions while allowing for flexibility. It covers best practices for efficiency, including how to retain key information and navigate logical structure without getting bogged down in fluff.

02
Core Concept

Flaw Questions

Exploring advanced LSAT Flaw Questions, this guide analyses how vague answer choices, causal-conditional slip-ups, abstract stimuli and multi-flaw decoys undermine arguments in Logical Reasoning. Providing references to specific PrepTest questions, this guide lays out clear patterns to help you spot each reasoning error.

03
Inference

Must Be True

This guide explains how to consistently solve the most frustrating Must Be True/False questions by emphasizing actionable advice, including time allocation and study habits. It covers how to avoid traps that advanced students fall into, like getting tripped up in connecting quantified variables and tricky conditionals.

04
Assumption Family

Necessary Assumption

This guide breaks down how to approach Necessary Assumption questions by identifying the different forms of correct answers and the strategies to find them. It covers common pitfalls, such as conditional logic traps and how and when to distinguish necessary from sufficient assumptions.

05
Assumption Family

Sufficient Assumption

Difficult Sufficient Assumption Questions test us on the rules of conditional logic, our ability to link conditional statements, and our skill at identifying the remaining gaps. This guide explains the strategies to solve these questions: applying the contrapositive, diagramming and translating, and avoiding subtle traps.

06
Abstract

Principle Questions

This guide shows how to approach Principle questions by figuring out when an answer actually follows from the rule, not just avoids breaking it. It covers how to use sufficient/necessary logic to eliminate weak choices and lock in what really conforms.

07
Interaction

Agree / Disagree

This guide outlines strategies for mastering difficult LSAT Agree or Disagree questions, emphasizing careful attention to explicit textual support and shifts in language. It uses detailed examples and relevant PrepTest questions to reveal the pitfalls our intuitions may lead us into and how to avoid them.

08
Operation

Paradox

This guide teaches you how to solve Paradox questions by identifying the core issue and avoiding answers that feel right but don't resolve the conflict. It highlights the traps our intuitions lead us into, such as conflating realism with reason and overlooking subtle contradictions.

09
Inference

Most Strongly Supported

This guide offers a strategic approach to the hardest Most Strongly Supported questions by explaining how to quantify and compare the strength of textual support between answer choices. It provides actionable advice for ranking imperfect options and building consistency on a question type that can feel subjective.

10
Operation

Strengthen & Weaken

This guide breaks down the strategies to master the hardest Strengthen and Weaken questions involving causal logic, ranking assumptions, and the subtle answer choices you miss. It demonstrates best practices in approaching these questions by walking through an in-depth example.
