There’s a method of reasoning to our madness this week, as Branden & Jelena take you through a step-by-step prescription for improving your performance on Methods of Reasoning and Argument Structure questions.
These may not be the flashiest questions on the LSAT, but they’re a consistent source of points if you approach them with the right strategy.
Listen and learn . . .
- How to identify the most common argumentative techniques on the LSAT
- Why arguments don’t have to be flawless—or even good—to appear in the stimulus for these LR question types
- The difference between premises and background information
- How to tell a main conclusion from a subsidiary
- When it’s okay to appeal to authority (even though “appeal to authority” is also a fallacy)
- How to handle two-perspective questions
- Why the main conclusion is often “the other guy is wrong!”
