The LSAT differs from the GRE and other standardized tests I have taken in that the question is what is the flaw in the argument, not what is the point of the paragraph. This is difficult because the questions are written to be deceptive. That means you have to read very closely and my training since sixth grade is that on a timed test, you should scan.
I am so used to this, and so used to scanning articles and for that matter, Proust to see whether they contain anything I need to know, that it is hard to slow down if the text in question is not a poem (and it is still harder if the text is boring). On this test, however, you must read every word, in the question and also in the possible answers. And you must do it quickly.
I have taken this test before and concentrating now on the hard problems, it amazes me that I did as well as I did without studying them this well beforehand. Also, I would have taken it this week had I not realized I would need really good glasses and time to get used to them, to do it right. Mon Dieu, sweet Jesus, Allah. Olodumare, Pallas Athena, Adonai help me now.

Phew. good luck with the LSAT! I do not envy you. the ACT/SAT/GRE were all stressful enough for me! 🙂
Merci!!! I am secretly enjoying it — it is honing my mind in a certain way and forcing a certain kind of seriousness … I’m using it like yoga. I don’t know that I can actually afford law school or tear myself away from literary research but I want to do as well as possible on this test, and do all the good living it takes to do well on such a test. 🙂
