The final type of multiple choice section on the LSAT is the Logical Reasoning Questions. This section differs from the other two types, because this section has 25-28 separate questions, which do not correspond to one another in any way.
For this you will be required to read a short passage and then answer one question about it which tests your ability to reason logically and think critically. Examples include brief paragraphs about a certain subject or two sides of the an argument. Often, you will be asked to identify the type of reasoning involved in the submitted passage or its flaw.
To study for this section, it's best to use a general tutorial book to drill yourself on the various types of questions that could appear and time yourself. Unlike the other two sections, it will not hinder you by skipping questions you are unsure about. (NOTE: Remember to always answer or even guess on any section, because the LSAT does NOT take points off for wrong answers!)
Another helpful tool would be a logic class to help with identifying types of fallacies. Most colleges offer a general education Logic class. I definitely recommend taking one.
It's important to work on your timing with this section, because it is easy to get caught up in a few questions and lose track of time.
