Additional Premise Indicators - ANS-Used to introduce other premises that support the
conclusion but are sometimes non-essential to the conclusion:
Ex/ furthermore, moreover, besides, in addition, whats more, after all.
Agree/Agree Test - ANS-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 - ANS-This test is 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.
, The Agree/Disagree Test crystallizes the essence of Point at Issue questions by forcing
you to concretely identify the elements that determine the correct answer.
Answer Choices - ANS-All LSAT questions have five lettered answer choices and each
question has only one correct, or "credited," response.
Appeal Fallacies - ANS-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 - ANS-A set of statements wherein one statement (conclusion) is claimed to
follow from or be derived from the others (premises).
Argument Part Question - ANS-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 - ANS-An unstated premise of the argument.
Assumptions are an integral componentof the argument that the author takes for
granted and leaves unsaid.
Assumption Questions - ANS-These questions ask you to identify a statement that the
author's argument assumes or supposes.
Assumption Negation Technique - ANS-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.
