This Short Course was created to help Communication professionals accomplish systematic, timed passage analysis for LSAT Reading Comprehension. By completing this course, you'll be able to apply an active-reading framework immediately in your next practice session; mapping purpose, annotating viewpoints, and retrieving evidence in seconds rather than minutes. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Apply the active-reading framework to create a passage map capturing purpose, viewpoints, and structural transitions within three minutes of reading - Annotate passages using predefined symbols and minimal keywords to support fast evidence retrieval during question answering - Use the completed passage map to locate textual evidence for inference questions without rereading entire sections This course is unique because it builds a reusable personal annotation template grounded in a structured symbol system; a practical tool you'll carry into every full-length practice test. To be successful in this course, you should have a background in basic reading comprehension skills at a CB1 entry level.
