Question-level analysis
The diagnostic reviews section results, question metadata, the answer chosen and reported timing. It separates scored questions from unscored coverage.
LSAT score-report research
How independent score-report analysis works: what a report can prove, what it cannot prove, how repeated mistakes are categorized, and how those patterns become drills.
Honest numbers
Every percentage comes with its question count and a 95% range, so a small sample is never presented as a settled weakness.
Drill mapping
Each clear weakness maps to timed and untimed practice and a transfer test. Drill citations use PTs 139 and lower.
Start with the methodology
Read the scope, privacy model, limitations, and definitions before interpreting any score-report pattern.
Read the methodologyAnswer-shaped research
Original score-report dataset
17 deduplicated reports, 14 tests, median 160; task accuracy, method, privacy handling, and limitations.
How to find LSAT weak areas by question type
Group misses by task, timing, and mechanism, then use the free score-report diagnostic.
Why is my LSAT score not improving?
Diagnose seven repeatable causes before adding more full tests.
LSAT LR vs RC weakness
Use the raw-score gap and repeated mechanisms to choose the first section to fix.
LSAT timing vs accuracy
Separate pace pressure from unstable reasoning.
LSAT plateau study plan
Run a four-week mechanism, transfer, mixed-practice, and retest cycle.

Common LSAT weaknesses
Definitions and drill matches for LR and RC decision errors.
Logical Reasoning miss patterns
Necessary assumption, parallel flaw, weaken, inference, and principle fixes.
Reading Comprehension miss patterns
Passage maps, author position, perspective, scope, and timing failures.
Study plan by diagnostic
Sequence untimed mechanism work, timed transfer, and full-test review.
Application mistakes
Match the rule trigger, scope, and required consequence.
Must-be-true mistakes
Reject unsupported comparisons, causes, and stronger claims.
Parallel flaw mistakes
Match abstract flaw structure before familiar topic.
Necessary assumption mistakes
Find the required bridge and reject helpful strengtheners.
Weaken mistakes
Attack the support relation rather than the conclusion.
Inference mistakes
Preserve scope, qualifiers, and certainty.
Principle mistakes
Translate rules conditionally and match scope and force.
RC main point mistakes
Separate thesis, concession, and reported views.
RC inference mistakes
Locate exact evidence and preserve its scope.
RC author attitude mistakes
Track speaker ownership, direction, and degree.
RC detail mistakes
Map evidence location and check qualifiers.
How to choose an LSAT tutor
Use diagnosis, review quality, plan specificity, pricing clarity, and fit before hiring.
RC perspective mistakes
Label every claim by speaker and final limit.
Guides built from this framework
How to review an LSAT score report
Separate scored questions, group misses by mechanism, and turn the report into a drill plan.
Build an LSAT error log
Track the decision that produced the miss, not only the question number.
Logical Reasoning mistake patterns
Diagnose necessary assumption, parallel flaw, weaken, and inference errors.
Reading Comprehension error strategy
Read for passage function, author position, inference scope, and timing pressure.
Diagnostic versus practice-test score
Use both numbers correctly instead of treating them as the same signal.
