Best LSAT LR Strategies

<p>I'm been studying for the September LSAT test for about a month and a half now using several study books, mainly the LR Bible, and have come across many "strategies" for the LR section. Some have been really useful and others have not. So I'm wondering for those who are also studying, or have already taken the LSAT, which "strategy" is most useful in your opinion?</p>

<p>IMO, the LR Bible section on Identifying Conclusions is a must know technique. The premise/conclusion indicators really help make understanding complicated passages easier. Also, the Conclusion Identification Methodology helps you identify the conclusion even if the passage doesn't have traditional conclusion indicators. I think you ability to identify the main conclusion in each passage is the most important thing when doing the LR section.</p>

<p>remember a conclusion is not in every stimulus. you’ll be wasting time trying to identify a conclusion that’s not there, like on inference and resolve the paradox questions.
another useful technique? identify the premises after you’ve identified the conclusion and prephrase how the premises interrelate with one another to prove a conclusion that is either sound or flawed.</p>
