<p>I was looking at a practice LSAT and I noticed that there is reading comprehension. I notice how people are always saying to practice logic problems and such, but is there any way to get better at reading comprehension? I've never been strong at English reading comprehension where you read a short story, and answer question; but I have strong logic skills. Thanks.</p>
<p>The best way to improve reading comprehension is to read a great many challenging books.</p>
<p>But how about some good test prep books? I want to get familiar with the types of passages and questions that show up and learn the tricks for answering them strategically. </p>
<p>I read somewhere on here that PowerScore is coming out with an RC book some time this year? Do you guys know when exactly?</p>
<p>Why not read a real book and possibly learn something more than how to prepare for the LSAT. You'll likely be more stimulated, and the preparation will be comparable to a test prep book. Many philosophy texts will improve your reading comprehension (Rene Descartes First Discourse is especially good).</p>
<p>Oftentimes, tests are about getting used to certain types of questions and passages that appear and how they are structured (i.e. comparative reading). As such, specific tips and strategies for the LSAT would be more useful than the reading I'm already doing.</p>
<p>There's a review book called LSAT 180 that my cousin used to practice...it's obviously not just reading comp but she claimed it did an awesome job of helping her with that section time-wise...techniques to skim the passage but still get all the info you need out of it</p>
<p>I took a survey of literature course and i think i learned a lot as far as comprehending textual material. The course I took was particularly helpful in that it combined both prose, poetry and some rather complex essays from people like Wordsworth and Mathew Arnold.</p>
<p>I think Powerscore is coming out with the Powerscore RC Bible.</p>
<p>Reading Comp is the hardest section to improve on, but my best advice is to go back to the passage on the questions asking for specific answers EVERY single time. Reading Comp is extremely straightforward and requires barely any "problem-solving" unlike the other sections as long as you notice the precise wording they use. Of course there is some "gut feeling" involved on the main point questions as well, but always go with the less extreme wording. The correct answers are rarely the most extreme answers (i.e. extreme= use words never, always, must, etc.) </p>
<p>Of course this may mean that you have to read the passage a bit quicker in order to allot time to return to the passages. Since there is very little time to improve on reading ability in general until the exam time (assuming you are taking it in June or October), I would work with actual LSAT passages and try to read each line just once, quickly and time yourself.</p>
<p>I've got some time. I'm a rising junior.</p>
