What’s on the LSAT Logical Reasoning Section?

This section of the test provides short passages that you must read and then answer one or two questions about. These passages, or arguments, are taken from sources including:

Magazines
Newspapers
Scholarly publications
Informal discourse
Advertisements

These mirror legal reasoning both in their complexity and types of arguments. The questions will test your ability to evaluate, analyze and complete these arguments. These skills are essential to law and legal analysis as a law student.

You will need to identify parts of arguments, deciding what is most important and how any evidence presented in the future may affect it. You will need to be able to use arguments as a persuasion tool and to resolve contrasting positions.

You will not be expected to have prior knowledge of certain terminology or the topics in the presented passages. Your job will be to understand and evaluate the reasoning found in them.

LSAT Logical Reasoning Practice Questions

One of the best ways to test your knowledge is by taking a practice test. Evaluate your logical reasoning skills by trying your hand at the three practice questions below!

Answer each question and read through the answer explanation, whether you got the answer right or wrong. This will help you ensure you’ve got the topic mastered.

Whether you struggled with these questions or aced them on your first try, be sure to take the full practice test to get a better idea of how prepared you really are!

1. Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the argument below?

Boats are safer than helicopters. Twenty percent of helicopter accidents result in death, while only ten percent of boat accidents result in death.

A. Helicopters are inspected more often than boats. B. A boat voyage is four times as likely to result in an accident as a helicopter flight. C. Pilots never fly under the influence of alcohol, while boat drivers often do. D. Helicopter accidents are usually the fault of air traffic controllers, not pilots. E. Helicopters carry more passengers than boats do.

Even though a helicopter accident is twice as likely to be fatal as a boat accident, if a boat accident is four times as likely to happen, then the overall likelihood of a fatality resulting from a boat voyage is twice the likelihood of a fatality resulting from a helicopter flight, making boats the more dangerous option.

2. The answer to which of the following questions would be most useful in evaluating the strength of the argument below?

Mr. Peters is gifted with psychic powers that enable him to foretell future events. In the past, Mr. Peters predicted the Watergate scandal, the fall of the Berlin wall, and the election of George W. Bush. These are just a few of Mr. Peters’ accurate predictions.

A. What percentage of Mr. Peters’s predictions have come true? B. Could the scandal of President Clinton have been predicted without the help of psychic powers? C. What is the actual mechanism by which Mr. Peters’s psychic powers are supposed to operate? D. How long before the events in question did Mr. Peters make his accurate predictions? E. Do most scientists accept the idea that the power to predict the future through psychic means really exists?

The argument cites three accurate predictions by Mr. Peters and alludes to others; however, the existence of three successful predictions means nothing by itself. One would need to know what percentage of Mr. Peters’s predictions are accurate (or inaccurate). A success rate of 95% would mean that he is almost surely a legitimate talent. A success rate of 5% would strongly suggest that he is a fraud.

3. An underlying assumption of the argument below is that a movie based on a novel should ________.

Several movie versions of John Steinbeck’s East of Eden have been made. The original movie version, made in 1943, is the best because it is closest in spirit to the original novel.

A. Reflect the director's original interpretation of the main themes of the novel B. Accurately depict the time and place in which the novel is set C. Feature actors and actresses who closely resemble the characters in the novel in both body and spirit D. Faithfully render the details of the plot from the narrator's point of view E. Capture the true meaning and intention of the novel

The passage states that the 1943 version of East of Eden is "best because it is closest in spirit to the original novel." The assumption underlying this statement is that a movie based on a novel should capture the true meaning and intention of the novel.
