The questions

11 min video + practice
06Author attitude, strengthen and weaken in RC

Speed and review
08RC timing: where your 12 minutes go

A note from Steve
I've been coaching the LSAT since 2005, and reading comp quietly wrecks more scores than logical reasoning ever does. Most students study it like a school subject instead of a trainable skill. This free course covers what my team and I actually teach, reading for structure instead of memorizing facts, spotting the 5 question types that repeat on every test, and cutting the time you waste on passages you don't even like. Watch each video once, then run the action step before you move to the next lesson.
This is the same teaching my paid students start with, built on the LASER Approach and the Socratic Review Method. The only difference is the coaching that comes after it.

Questions students actually ask
Is this LSAT Reading Comprehension course really free?
Yes. Every lesson, summary, and drill on this page is free, with no account and no email required. If you want coaching beyond the course, you can book a free LSAT tutoring lesson at unpluggedprep.com/start.
How much of my LSAT score comes from Reading Comprehension?
1 of the 3 scored sections, so 1/3 of your score. Logical Reasoning makes up the other 2/3. The current LSAT has 2 scored Logical Reasoning sections, 1 scored Reading Comprehension section, and 1 unscored experimental section.
Can you actually improve at LSAT Reading Comp?
Yes. RC feels like a fixed trait because most people practice it with vague goals. It's a stack of learnable subskills: structure mapping, tone tracking, and question-type attack order. Lesson 1 covers the attack order, and lesson 3 walks you through structure and tone directly, before you touch a single answer choice.
Should I read The Economist or Scientific American to prep?
No. There are about 400 official LSAT reading comp passages and most students never get through half of them. Train on the real thing. Lesson 1 covers this.
How long does the course take?
Each lesson is a short video plus a written companion and 1 practice question. Run 1 or 2 lessons a day and you'll finish inside a week.
