Additional Premise correct answers-Additional premises are premises that may be central to the
argument or they may be secondary
-To determine the importance of the premise, examine the remainder of the argument
Agree/Agree Test correct answers-This test is used to help solve Point of Agreement questions
-The correct answer choice must be one about which both speakers would say, "Yes, I agree with that
statement"
-If each speaker does not produce that response, the answer is incorrect
Agree/Disagree Test correct answers-This test used to help solve Point at Issue questions
-The correct answer must produce responses where one speaker would say "I agree, the statement is
correct" and the other speaker would say, "I disagree, the statement is incorrect"
-If those two responses are not produced, then the answer is incorrect
-This test crystallizes the essence of Point at Issue questions by forcing you to concretely identify the
elements that determine the correct answer
Answer Choices correct answers-All LSAT questions have five lettered answer choices and each question
has only one correct, or "credited," response
Appeal Fallacies correct answers-A common error of reasoning that attempts to "appeal" to various
insubstantial viewpoints of the reader (emotion, popular opinion, tradition, authority, etc.)
,-However the appeal is not valid, and concrete evidence is needed to support the argument
Argument correct answers-A set of statements wherein one statement is claimed to follow from or be
derived from the others
-An argument requires a conclusion
Argument Part Question correct answers-A subset of Method of Reasoning questions
-In Argument Part questions, the question stem cites a specific portion of the stimulus and then asks you
to identify the role the cited portion plays in the structure of the argument
Assumption correct answers-An assumption is an unstated premise of the argument
-Assumptions are an integral component of the argument that the author takes for granted and leaves
unsaid
Assumption Questions correct answers-These questions ask you to identify an assumption of the
author's argument
Assumption Negation Technique correct answers-This technique requires you to logically negate the
answer choice under consideration, which results in a negated answer choice that attacks the argument
-If the negated answer does not attack the argument, then it is incorrect
-The purpose of this technique is to take an Assumption question, which is generally difficult for most
students, and turn it into a Weaken question, which is easier for most students
-This technique can only be used on Assumption questions
C correct answers-In diagramming Logical Reasoning questions, "C" indicates Cause
, Cannot Be True Questions correct answers-Ask you to identify the answer choice that cannot be true or
is most weakened based on the information in the stimulus
Causal Reasoning correct answers-Asserts or denies that one thing causes another, or that one thing is
caused by another
-On the LSAT, cause and effect reasoning appears in many Logical Reasoning problems, often in the
conclusion where the author mistakenly claims that one event causes another
Cause (C) correct answers-The event that makes another occur
Cause and Effect (CE) correct answers-When one event is said to make another occur
-The cause is the event that makes the other occur; the effect is the event that follows from the cause
-By definition, the cause must occur before the effect, and the cause is the "activator" or "ignitor" in the
relationship
-The effect always happens at some point in time after the cause
Circular Reasoning correct answers-A flaw where the author assumes as true what is supposed to be
proved
-The premise supports the conclusion, but the conclusion equally supports the premise, creating a
"circular" situation where you can move from premise to conclusion, and then back again to the
premise, and so on
Commonly Used Construction correct answers-One of the most frequently used argument constructions
raises a viewpoint at the beginning of the stimulus and then disagree with it immediately thereafter
-This efficiently raises two opposing views in a very short paragraph
