<p>otice of Upcoming Changes to the LSAT (updated 2/13/2007)</p>
<p>Beginning with the June 2007 administration, LSAC will introduce a variant of reading comprehension, called comparative reading, as one of the four sets in the LSAT reading comprehension section.</p>
<p>It is really a great change, and i have no prepare material for this kind of Reading Comprehension. I am sometimes scare of this change due to lack of practice of comparative reading.</p>
<p>So if any one of you have some practical or method introduction books on the comparative reading in LSAT, please tell me the name of the preparing material.</p>
<p>It is really an emergency now.I will be very grateful for your help!</p>
<p>I fail to see why this is an issue? Comparative reading requires the exact same skills that the old RC passages required. 4/5 questions will be based off summarizing the article, tone, paragraphs and what-not, whereas 2/3 questions will actually involve critical thinking. The only difference is you will have to do this for 2 smaller passages, and compare them to one another.</p>
<p>LA 09-you may be absolutely correct- but then again Maybe Not. Familiarilty with anything does allow one to feel more confident and may also be a bit of a time saver in regard to reading directions etc.<br>
With that said- I believe the BEST source of info is going to be the LSAC website. Even though there may be books out (or coming out real soon) from Kaplan-Princeton etc. those companies are really taking an "educated guess" as to how the new reading passages are going to look on the actual test.
This happened when they changed the SAT a few years ago. These companies came out with study books- and they had to revise them and came out with new issues almost immediately after the actual test was administered.
The "best News" is that all you guys are in the same boat. So as there is some type of curve to the LSAT, it may not really matter that much. The kids who are really strong natural readers will probably do fine.<br>
I am going to suggest just read, read and read some more.<br>
The study guide books that will come out early 2008, will probably be pretty much on target re: the "new test". But I would be suspect of anything on the market now EXCEPT LSAC books.</p>
<p>marny1 and LA09-Thanks for your reply. I was just too sensitive. After practice with the sample on Lsac.org, i really agree with your word. Just a new form does not mean anything when someone has mastered the marror of preparing for the test.</p>
