LSAT guide hub visual
Last LR missStudy route

Pick the route by what answer choices did to you

If the answer choices felt identical, skip more mixed LR for now. Use the question family that exposed the problem, then review the miss by cause.

  • Flaw miss: prephrase the bad move before reading abstract wording.
  • Assumption miss: state the gap between support and conclusion before testing answers.
  • Weaken or strengthen miss: decide what would change the argument, not the topic.
