    Love it, thanks! I made it a habit to read over the LR Question flow charts before doing a section, the more content the merrier. Here is a similar LR strategy guide another user shared on 7Sage that you can use as well: https://quizlet.com/142715075/lsat-lr-strategies-by-question-type-flash-cards/

    Thank so much for sharing :)

    Thought I would follow the flow and leave my question type guide here.

    Questions Types Guide :

    Valid Argument

    If the premise is true, then the conclusion must also be true - valid arguments make ZERO assumptions

    Main Point Questions (MP)

    Asks what the MP of the argument is - everything else will support the statement directly or indirectly

    Eliminate answer choices that reflect the premise or the context

    If you see THUS in the last sentence - most likely a trick

    Most Strongly Supported Questions (MSS)

    The answer will have SOME support, the rest will have no support whatsoever

    The conclusion in tucked away in the answer choices ( not in stimulus)

    Watch word choices carefully ( ex. More effective, more strictly) and claims about increase ( makes more, increases) that are not supported by the stimulus

    Assumption Questions

    The premise will be left out of the argument - aka “forgotten premise”

    Weaken Questions

    Take away the support that the premise gives to the conclusion, thus make premise less supportive of conclusion. Weaken the evidence/support.

    DO NOT attack or contradict the premise- demonstrate that despite the premise being true it is way less supported by conclusion with this answer choice/evidence

    Strengthen Questions

    Add information that will make the premise more supportive of the conclusion

    Strengthen or add a new idea/evidence that makes premise more related to conclusion

    For strengthen/weaken questions the right answer choice should be able to be negated and used on the other side.
