The LSAT Without Logic Games: What Changed and How to Prepare

In August 2024, the LSAT dropped Analytical Reasoning, better known as Logic Games. The test now has two scored Logical Reasoning sections, one scored Reading Comprehension section and one unscored section. That shifts where your preparation should go.

Logical Reasoning now counts double

With two scored LR sections, LR is roughly two-thirds of your score. Each question gives you a short argument and asks you to analyse it: find the assumption, strengthen or weaken it, spot the flaw, or say what must be true.

Core LR skills

• Separate the conclusion from the evidence in every argument.
• Find the gap — what the author assumes without saying.
• Handle conditional logic and contrapositives quickly and correctly.

Reading Comprehension

RC passages are dense. Focus on structure: the main point, the author's attitude and what each paragraph does. Comparative passages ask how two authors' views relate.

Don't forget the writing sample

LSAT Argumentative Writing is taken separately online. It is unscored, but law schools read it, so practise a couple before test day.
