There is only one correct answer. There's no question where you can get the question right by choosing two or more answers.

The secret to doing well is practicing. There is not any single trick to it. It really does come down to exposure and practice and knowing what to expect on the way to the test.
If you have one year to prepare then you can spend a lot of time reading difficult texts. Texts that you would not necessarily normally spend your time reading but really pushing yourself with those academic articles, journals and newspapers that really push your mind and really make you dig in and challenge you as a reader so that's one if you have an year to prepare.
If you have a month to take your test then some tips for reading comprehension and it boils down to everyone of our texts and our passages makes some kind of argument. It has some point and the author of the passage is trying to convince the reader of something or other. It has a thesis and it does it by way of bringing various arguments to bear so if you don't understand what that point is then your chances of being able to answer many of the questions correctly is very low. So your first thought while reading should always be what's the author is trying to say, what point are they trying to make and that point is the spine on which everything else hangs so if you can identify that main point then you will be in a really good position to answer many of the other questions as well and here is one inside tip that we almost always ask a question about what is the main point of that passage and it's almost always the first question so it really illustrates the importance of that. It may seem like a kind of a simple thing but really it is trying to identify the main point and not getting lost in the details or overwhelmed by the density of the passage. I think that is really important.
The LSAT Global, the original test is for admissions to law schools in North America and law programs in North America are a postgraduate study. There are degrees that you get after you've already achieved your bachelor's so it's like going to your graduate school, you go to law school. It's a graduate level program whereas in India the legal study, there's postgraduate legal study but you can also get an undergraduate degree in law and LLB or many variations on that.
To boil it down, think of the difference between the test taker in North America who's taking the LSAT they have gone to college and are 22-23 of age versus the typical LSAT India test taker, they are just coming out of High School and have not gone to college and are 17- 18 years old. There is a big gap there in education so the reason we have LSAT India and we don't just give the LSAT is because in fact the LSAT India has to be made somewhat easier than the traditional LSAT because again the LSAT India test taker hasn't had three- four years of college so they don't have that extra experience and practice and those skills. So we design the LSAT India model on the LSAT but it is specifically made to be easier and more appropriate for the person who is taking it but also in the ways that we can make it appropriate for the Indian context.
LSAT India was to be conducted in pen and paper mode this year also as always and as a result we were going to introduce the variable section but not for LSAT online, the test that is going to happen this year, there will be no variable section so there will only be four sections of the test. There will be one section of the reading comprehension, two sections of logical reasoning, and one section of analytical reasoning.
There are some very basic differences probably the biggest and the most obvious difference is that unlike the CLAT the LSAT India does not have a general knowledge or current affairs section and it does not have quantitative techniques which is sort of more mathematical so unlike the CLAT the LSAT is not a test where you can gain a tremendous advantage by cramming a lot of facts and learning a lot of things, it's much more focused on skills in particular, critical thinking skills. So that's the biggest difference.
A brief rundown of LSAT India is:
In LSAT India we have one section of reading comprehension with about 25 questions and then two sections totaling about 40 questions of logical reasoning and this is just a test of basic critical thinking skills whether you can identify arguments, conclusions, the assumptions are required for an argument to be successful and all these questions are based on short passages which are of on ordinary english or everyday language.
The fourth section is of analytical reasoning and this is a test of deductive reasoning skills so you have to deduce what could be the case or what must be the case depending on certain facts and assumptions that are put forward so there's really a very emphasis on critical thinking skills., not facts, current affairs, etc. Dr. Jason Dickenson Director, India Testing- Law School Admission Council (LSAC)
