LSAT Evaluate Questions
🧠Core Understanding
Task:
Determine which answer choice would best help assess whether the argument is sound — i.e., whether it’s strong or weak depending on how the answer turns out.
-
Goal:
Find information that matters — a fact whose truth changes the argument’s strength (supports if true, weakens if false).
-
🔍 The Two-Answer Test
For each choice, ask:
“If this were true, would it strengthen or weaken the argument?”
-
If either answer has no effect, eliminate it.
-
-
-
-
⚔️ Traps to Avoid
Irrelevant facts (background info, definitions).
-
-
-
🏆 Practice Mindset
-
