Reviewing Logical Reasoning Questions

[Oz29xr8]

Hello, I would like to ask two questions about reviewing logical reasoning questions. What are some helpful tips and strategies that I can use to review the logical reasoning questions? I've been doing the homework assignments on the must be true questions, however I keep getting some questions right and wrong. I want to make progress and actually learn from my mistakes so that I don't repeat them. But I don't know how to properly review the questions I worked on. I keep having trouble with the logical reasoning questions and I am having trouble improving on my mistakes. Do you think blind review will help? Is there something better than blind review that I can use? Please let me know of any strategies or methods that I can use to review the questions I've worked on.

Try going through this process, Oz29xr8, for every question you get wrong, and for any question that you spent a lot of time on and felt uncertain about:

1. Write down your own explanation for what makes each of the wrong answers wrong.

2. Write down your own explanation for what makes the right answer right.

3. Write down your own explanation for what made you think the right answer was wrong.

4. Write down your own explanation for what make you thing the wrong answer was right.

In this process (which is long and tedious, I know!) you will begin to see the kinds of things LSAC authors do to confuse and distract you. You'll learn their secrets for making wrong answers attractive, and you'll get better at spotting those deceptions under timed conditions. And, you'll get better at understanding your own weaknesses, which will help you figure out how to fix those problems, and guide you towards things you need to study and practice.

It's a lot of work, but it's far better than just trying again to see if you do better, or looking up an explanation and settling for it without learning from it.

Good luck!
