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!

Meet Bailey

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. That's Bailey's best advice as to how she got from a 156 to a 175. She used to hate this test and beat herself up for every missed question. After retraining her brain to be kind to herself, read more carefully, and make sound logical decisions, she actually loves the LSAT. I know, I know. What a weirdo. If you want to get scary good at this test, turn complex words into simple ones, and laugh a lot, join her classes! Bailey's favorite part of teaching is the lightbulb moment, when everything clicks and the question that used to be your kryptonite just makes sense. She has lived in Madrid and Buenos Aires, loves a good gap year, and is often hosting classes from a random destination. You’ll find her water coloring, cooking, hiking, giggling, and messing around with her film camera when she isn’t working with students.
