Many students think LSAT Logical Reasoning gets harder question by question. That’s only partially true. Here’s the real pattern:

Questions 1–10

  • Generally easier
  • Only two or three may be above average in difficulty

Questions 11–20

  • Difficulty increases noticeably
  • Some of the hardest questions appear here

Questions 21–26

  • Mostly medium to difficult
  • Difficulty is not strictly linear
  • Some late questions are surprisingly easy

What This Means for Your Strategy

  • Start strong to build momentum.
  • Don’t panic if question 14 feels brutal; that’s normal.
  • Use the 90-second rule to avoid burning time: skip and come back.
