LSAT vocab??

<p>Hi all, </p>

<p>I’m very new to the whole LSAT prep, so forgive me if this is a dumb question. I was going to take the GRE, but my Dad is a lawyer and has successfully coaxed me into starting to try my luck at the LSAT.</p>

<p>I’ve read online that I should get the Logic Bible, Reasoning Bible and a book of sample tests. But, is there a vocab list for the LSAT like there is for the GRE or would that be a waste of time? If studying vocab is a good idea, who has the best list? Thanks for any help!!!</p>

<p>There is no need to study vocabulary for the LSAT. That’s not to say a broad understanding of complex vocabulary won’t help with the LSAT, but I think studying vocab like many did for the SAT is not worthwhile. The LSAT tests comprehension of dense texts and, more often than not, difficult words that are essential to a text are defined. </p>

<p>With that said, I would suggest reading a lot. Many recommend the Economist and New York Times, but I get plenty of quality reading from my English and Philosophy classes. I also read a lot of modern fiction in my spare time. It is really important that you increase your reading speed for the LSAT and the best way to do this is to just read a lot. Also, it doesn’t have to be a chore, like studying vocab is, if you read things you enjoy.</p>
