So I have posted example logical and reasoning questions, but the reading comprehension I skipped because of its length.
I found this list from
lsatblog.blogspot.com the creator is an LSAT tutor and he posts tips for taking the LSAT so you should check it out!
10 Strategies for LSAT Reading Comprehesion
1. Look for the key words that indicate degree of certainty
Watch for words like some, never, all, always, etc. And careful with plurals.
2. Keep an eye out for the passage's main idea
highlight/underline/circle as you read the passage. Mark evidence, summaries, etc.
3. Look at the relationship between the evidence and conclusion in each paragraph
What is the argument of each paragraph? Based on what evidence?
4. Question types in Reading Comprehension:
Main point/ main idea-Save this for last even if it's the first question asked. It will be easier to answer after going through the other questions.
Specific/ "according to"-Most straightforward-types, asking about author's argument.
Inferences-Asks you to make predictions based on reading. Example: "The author would agree with..." Examine the tone and argument of author.
5. How to deal with Comparative Reading passages
The LSAC included this section after 2007. Instead of the regular 4 passages, there will be 3 with two shorter ones relating to the topic. Tip: try to practice with reference books dated after 2007.
Start with questions that focus on only one of the two passages, then tackle the second.
6. Question types in Comparative Reading
Common issue/ Main idea/ Main idea in longer passages
Agree/disagree
Method of reasoning/style
Analogy
7. How to avoid those tempting incorrect answer choices
Wrong answers usually have the following:
Extreme statements not supported by evidence
Irrelevant info
The exact opposite of argument
Minor changes to to info
Illogical or random combinations of the passage's arguments
False attributions of individuals' POV
8. How to take notes in Reading Comprehension
Don't take too much notes, you don't have time to write it or read it.
Instead of focusing on content, focus on the flow and structure of the passage as well as the author's tone/argument.
Don't circle/underline/highlight too much
Practice practice
When you come across a giant paragraph, chances are, it contains a lot of info. Break up the paragraph as you read through it.
9. Words to look out for
Advocates, critics, opponents, others, proponents, supporters
Artists, engineers, politicians, scholars, scientists, writers
All, always, every, most, never, some
First, second, third,
Other transitions
Argue, claim, criticize, oppose, reject, support
10. If you just know you won't be able to do every passage
Start with passages with the most questions and save the ones with the fewest questions for last.
