Dear LSAT deities,
I have an issue with drilling LR. What I've done is doing the Cambridge LR set by type, then doing the ones I got wrong again. However, the issue is that I remember what the correct answer was, so it's like my mind already knows what the right answer is as soon as I read the stimulus. Is there a better way of re-doing the LR questions that you got wrong? More generally, what should be my goal when re-doing them?
Very Respectfully,

I would say it's not about knowing what the correct answer. What's most important is knowing exactly, in detail, WHY the given answer choice is correct, and why the others aren't. Imagine if you were explaining that question to a friend, and that friend thought every answer choice but the correct one was correct. How would you justify each one of the incorrect choices? And what would make the correct answer right, or at least better than the others? I found it helpful to write out an analogous argument, and analogous answer choices to get a deeper understanding of the answer choices and the structure of the stimulus. I found it also helpful to find out what it was that made me miss the question the first time around. Also, see if there are any trends in your incorrect answers. For example, are you choosing out of scope answers over and over? This will give you better insight on how you can improve. Hope this helps!
