Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has created a list of the LR question types and what the anticipated correct answer/ anticipated wrong answer looks like per question type. I remember coming across this type of list when I was first studying for the LSAT but cannot seem to find it anymore. I am hoping to work on mine this weekend and would love to cross-reference with another's.

    Here's how I taxonomize question types for my students:

    ARGUMENT DESCRIPTION (Ones where you're figuring out what's happening in the argument/describing basic aspects of what the argument says):

    --Main conclusion

    --Argument part

    --Point at Issue/Disagree

    --Method of Reasoning

    ARGUMENT EVALUATION (Ok, we know what the argument says - but is this a good argument/a bad argument, and how can we figure out ways to alter it):

    --Flaw

    --Strengthen

    --Weaken

    --Resolve Reconcile Explain

    --Evaluate

    LAWGIC (More of the "odd person out" category - these are the ones that may or may not be arguments, but tend to be more formulaic):

    --Parallel (Regular Parallel Method of Reasoning; Parallel Flaw)

    --Assumption (Necessary; Sufficient)

    --Inference (Must Be True/Must Be False; Most Strongly Supported)

    MISCELLANEOUS (Weird ones that only occasionally show up)

    --Fill in the blank/complete the argument (arguably a subset of MSS)

    --Equivocation (someone is confused and misunderstands a remark - what word did they equivocate on?)

    I don't remember where either but this quizlet was commented somewhere in the CC: https://quizlet.com/142715075/lsat-lr-strategies-by-question-type-flash-cards/
