Principle

A variant of most strongly supported and pseudo-sufficient assumption (find the rule) questions, principle questions ask us to identify a statement that underlies or coheres with the argument presented in the stimulus. Learn to effectively differentiate between irrelevant or contradictory options and the close matches this question subtype demands!

With an Economics degree from Georgetown and having nerded about the LSAT for over two years, Eric has found great joy in helping multiple students raise their scores by 20 points.

But Eric has a deeper goal. Although many students despise the LSAT, Eric see it differently: as a game, full of secret puzzles. By learning the cheat codes to solve questions without relying strictly on intuition, he wants students to think like the game designers (the LSAT writers). Eric wants students to discover that the LSAT can actually be the infamous f-word: "fun." 

When Eric isn't solving LSAT puzzles, he enjoys playing volleyball, piano, and actual video games.
