LSAT Foundations and Planning

This unit introduces the LSAT’s structure, core question types, and practical test-taking tactics while grounding students in initial law‑school choice and application processes. Students practice logical reasoning and reading comprehension strategies, learn how to approach timing and guessing decisions, and complete foundational application tasks to prepare for subsequent, deeper skill units.

Learning Objectives

• Analyze the structure and timing of the LSAT by identifying each section, common question types (Logical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, Logic Games), and how they affect test strategy
• Apply evidence‑based test‑taking tactics (time management, educated guessing, question triage) to guided practice sets and a full practice answer sheet
• Evaluate personal law‑school fit by comparing admission criteria, program emphases (e.g., business/corporate), and application requirements, and begin completing required forms
• Demonstrate foundational logical reasoning and reading comprehension skills by resolving flaw/paradox questions, selecting main points in passages, and choosing defensible answer choices on practice items
