LSAT PrepTest 121 Explanations

Paragraph summaries and passage analyses for 8 Reading Comprehension passages from LSAT PrepTest 121. Individual question explanations are not yet available.

  • Review on your own first.
  • Have the question on hand.
  • Look for line references in the passage. They're the key to reading comprehension. My explanations highlight them, but it's more effective if you try on your own first.

PrepTest 121 Reading Comprehension Data

PrepTest 121 is a new format LSAT PrepTest with no logic games section. Its Reading Comprehension sections come from PrepTest 40 (Section 2) and PrepTest 48 (Section 3). These tests were originally administered in June 2003 and December 2005. Section 2 is the experimental section, which does not count toward your score. It is included so you can simulate a four-section practice test - the questions themselves are no different in style from the scored sections.
