Reading Comprehension
Since LSAT Exam is based off the International LSAT, the level of questions asked in the Reading Comprehension (RC) section is well above that of all other Law entrance exams in India. This was no different in 2017, and the questions and pattern were along expected lines in this section. No new question types were asked.
The RC passages were also as expected, with the questions stepping beyond simple facts to applicative and reasoning-based questions. Still, for a well-prepared student, this section would not have given too much trouble.
Logical Reasoning
This part of LSAT Exam is comprised of different types of puzzles and logic games. This segment is easier than previous year paper. The puzzles this year included some sequencing problems, a numbers game and table-elimination games, all of which are traditional types of questions. Again, a well-prepared student would not have had any issues in this section.
Analytical Reasoning
As per the analysis, the Critical Reasoning questions asked were quite tough. In many questions, it was easy to eliminate one or two choices, but the remaining choices were too close to each other so in many cases finding the right answer was turning into an educated guesswork rather than an actual solution procedure. There were no new types of questions tested, the question types that appeared included Strengthening and Weakening Arguments, Assertion-Reasoning, Fact-Inference-Judgment and Logical Deductions. All of these are question types that have appeared in the past. However, the answer choices were much more ambiguous and selecting the right choice was more problematic for students.
This section was rated the hardest by almost every student we spoke to.
