Logical Reasoning is 2/3 of your LSAT score. Most students study it backwards.
You’ll learn to read arguments before you touch question types, and you’ll finish with the Socratic Review Method, the review system my team and I run with paid students. Every lesson opens with what you’ll be able to do and ends with 1 practice question. Work top to bottom.

By the end of this course you can
- Find the conclusion and the gap in any LR argument before reading a single answer choice
- Recognize the question type from the stem and run that type’s method instead of rereading
- Handle conditional and causal reasoning, the 2 patterns behind most hard questions
- Pace a 35-minute section with strategic skipping instead of raw speed
- Review every practice section with the Socratic Review Method so misses stop repeating
Module 1
Read arguments like a lawyer
01What Logical Reasoning actually tests
Find an argument's conclusion first, work answer choices through a 3-step process, and eliminate the 5 most common trap answers.
30 min video + practice
02Argument parts: conclusion, premises, indicator words
Locate an argument's conclusion and evidence, spot the indicator words that flag each, and strip out filler that isn't part of the core argument.
9 min video + practice
03Prephrasing: predict the answer before you look
Preview a question stem, extract the argument's purpose, and prephrase your own answer in under 30 seconds, before you read a single choice.
9 min video + practice
04The flaw patterns behind most wrong answers
Name the specific flaw in a Logical Reasoning argument by matching it to one of 10 common patterns.
9 min video + practice
Module 2
The big question types
05Necessary assumption questions
Find the assumption a Logical Reasoning argument depends on and confirm it with the negation test.
23 min video + practice
06Sufficient assumption questions
Identify a sufficient assumption question from its stem, break the argument into premise, conclusion, and gap, and pick the answer that guarantees the conclusion follows with certainty.
24 min video + practice
07Weaken questions (and how strengthen mirrors them)
Weaken an argument by attacking the connection between its evidence and its conclusion with 1 of 3 proven methods, then flip that same approach to strengthen it instead.
7 min video + practice
08Flaw questions
Run the 5-step flaw method, from finding the conclusion to matching your predicted flaw to an answer choice, and label the break in an argument's logic in 2 or 3 words.
26 min video + practice
09Must be true questions
Identify must be true question stems, apply the right reasoning structure to the stimulus, and eliminate the 5 most common wrong answer patterns before you choose.
5 min video + practice
Module 3
Harder reasoning
10Conditional reasoning basics
Identify sufficient and necessary conditions in a statement, build a valid contrapositive, and tell it apart from an invalid reversal or negation.
9 min video + practice
11Causal reasoning: correlation vs cause
Name at least 3 alternative explanations for a correlation and use one to weaken a causal argument.
5 min video + practice
12Resolve the paradox questions
Identify a resolve the paradox stimulus and pick the answer choice that explains how both conflicting facts can be true at once.
5 min video + practice
Module 4
Timing and review
13LR timing: speed isn't the problem
Flag and skip time-trap Logical Reasoning questions using a 30-second rule and spend your minutes using confidence-based timing instead of splitting time evenly.
17 min video + practice
14The Socratic Review Method for LR
Run the Socratic Review Method on any Logical Reasoning question you missed, diagnosing exactly where your thinking broke down and turning it into a written takeaway.

Questions students actually ask
Is this LSAT Logical Reasoning course really free?
Yes. Every lesson, companion, and practice question in this course 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 Logical Reasoning?
2 of the 3 scored sections, so 2/3 of your score. The current LSAT has 2 scored Logical Reasoning sections, 1 scored Reading Comprehension section, and 1 unscored experimental section. There are no Logic Games.
How long does the course take?
Each lesson is a short video plus a written companion and 1 practice question. Most students run 1 or 2 lessons a day and finish inside 2 weeks.
Do I need to watch the lessons in order?
The order is deliberate: foundations before question types, question types before timing and review. If you're targeting one weakness, jump straight to that lesson, then come back.
What should I do after I finish the course?
Grab the free LSAT cheat sheet, then start running timed sections and reviewing every miss. If your score stalls, book a free LSAT tutoring lesson and my team will look at what's actually going wrong.
How should I review my practice questions?
With a system, not a glance at the answer key. Lesson 14 covers the Socratic Review Method: interrogate why the wrong answer attracted you, why the right one didn't, and end every review with a written rule you can apply next time.
