Syllabus
Reading Comprehension
Test 14, Passage 2 — Literary criticism
Highlights
Even when a topic is bland and feels uninspiring, we can use active reading skills to create comprehension and interest. Investing the effort up front makes the questions manageable and saves time in the end.
Rebecca Cumberbatch
Rebecca is an actual attorney (*gasp*) and never even saw what a law school tuition bill looked like. She loves helping students see how straightforward the LSAT really is. And showing off pictures of her perfect boys, if you’re lucky.

Rebecca is very friendly and accessible! She is responsive to questions and has helped me see RC and LR in a new light.Ray A.
Rebecca has a clear understanding of the needs of students, specifically those looking to understand fundamentals. Rebecca's Necessary vs Assumption discussion is priceless due to her use of examples and chart usage.Anonymous
I swear Rebecca is the best !!!! The way she explains LR and breaks it down so that we can understand is the reason why I love coming to her class.Amelia B.
Rebecca is the LSAT teacher we all need and deserve. My perspective has shifted because of her, and I'm not just understanding the test better, but understanding the purpose of the test better. Plus, she's absurdly charming!Anonymous
Rebecca's teaching style includes displaying the passages and LR questions and I think that method is really effective and useful. It makes following along with the material easier and more efficient. Also, Rebecca has an amazing energy in class. She's funny and makes the material fun to learn, so her classes are awesome.Jen H.
Absolutely love Rebecca's classes - her enthusiasm and humor make this studying process actually delightful. Show up for the proper techniques, stick around for the laughs.Denisha J.
Rebecca is an amazing teacher. She explains the problems concisely for people who struggle with RC/LR. She does this by adding analogies/examples and delves deeper into the meaning of words. In addition, her bubbly personality keeps me focused and engaged (I understand law school isn't responsible for keeping me focused, it's just an added bonus). Can't wait for another one of her classes. She def gave me added determination to tackle RC by the horns!Akriti P.
Rebecca is amazing! She explains everything so well and breaks large texts or prompts down into smaller and less intimidating chunks, while also equipping me with strategies to take away. And she's hilarious to boot! Such a motivating and positive class.Isabella L.
Rebecca has a way of keeping the class engaged! She is very relatable and makes you feel comfortable when you may be doubting yourself when it comes to LSAT. That said, she reminds you to stay motivated and gives words of encouragement.Joel C.
Wow. What a star! Rebecca broke down necessary and sufficient and used super simple language to remember the distinction. She wasted no time getting to the point of each argument and why correct answers matched perfectly. She stuck around to answer questions as well. I learned more in an hour with Rebecca than I've learned in a long time studying.Kristofer C.
Rebecca is super engaging and introduced me to several helpful strategies. I really enjoy her classes and her ability to contextualize the readings, while also answering the questions in a way that makes sense.Walter P.
Rebecca is fabulous - her classes come alive! She makes every effort to reframe - any and all questions in the most positive way for the student. She is a gem.Noah N.
Rebecca is such a great teacher, I hear her voice in my head when I do RC now. RC was my absolute worst section before regularly joining her classes, and now it is my absolute favorite. The way she dissects the passages has been so helpful to me, and she always keeps class light and funny. Could go on and on about her skill as a teacher.Monique H.
Rebecca is amazing. She easily and clearly breaks down RC and LR passages. She is also hilarious which is a great plus. I will be attending all of her classes from now on. Thanks Rebecca :)Sam S.
Rebecca is a fantastic teacher. I always laugh in her classes because she's such a funny storyteller. I especially like her use of examples to unpack the meaning of an argument or passage.Matthew A.
Rebecca is an excellent teacher. It is clear she has experience in the education world and Zoom lets her bring her talents out even more. She manages to juggle the chat and the content at the same time and it makes for a very helpful learning environment. She also has the energy and enthusiasm to get students interested even when the content is dry.Anonymous
I am currently struggling with RC questions and Rebecca takes the time to thoroughly go through the passages and explain her approach, strategies, and thinking in ways that I can easily apply them. Her class was very easy to follow along with when not watching it live.Stephanie S.
Bringing some humor and simple explanations to the answers helps break the barrier between not knowing what is going on and finally F getting it.Gareth C.
Rebecca’s class format is really excellent because it focuses on building good habits, strategy, and process. Being super process-driven like this is really effective for me.Anonymous
Rebecca is hilarious, and extremely relatable. If you have not attended her class yet, please do yourself a favor and GO!Brynn A.
I had my first class with Rebecca and I loved it! She was so chill and lighthearted and made us all a little less stressed about the LSAT. Definitely looking forward to more classes with her!Rachel W.
The visual representation Rebecca created during class was super helpful. She referred to that visual to directly answer a question and to clear up a student's point of confusion about the passage. The visual helped me organize the information without getting overwhelmed by the names of the different historical eras and my own background narrative telling myself to (once and for all) learn the order of those major time periods. I will definitely practice this approach to organizing information in RC passages.Madison D.
Rebecca broke down how RC can be easy if you take time to actually understand what is being asked. I love how open she is to answering every and all questions and goes into depth on why the right answer is right and why the wrong answers are wrong.Anonymous
Exceptional instructor. Becca has taught me sooo much, and I've only been to two classes so far!Kara H.
Rebecca’s passion for teaching is so clear! She gave me so much hope for becoming better at RC and was full of useful tips and guidance. Bonus points for keeping us entertained and motivated!Hoang T.
Rebecca is absolutely a Gem of the Demon. Her energy, her knowledge and humor make the class really interesting and engaging. I can listen to her for a few hours long and still engage and eager to know what she says next.Josue O.
Rebecca is amazing! Going deeper into reading comprehension is a must! I got an extra point today in my drilling thanks to her approach.Michelle G.
Rebecca outlined and demonstrated active reading... and was hilarious and entertaining!Brittany F.
My weakest section is RC. Rebecca is great at showing how RC and LR go together.Nina R.
Rebecca’s classes are some of my favorites offered by the Demon. She’s a skilled instructor that explains LR and RC concepts in a way that is clear and relatable. She’s also hilarious. I always walk away from her classes with some piece of advice or strategy that improves my LR/RC performance.
