The PSA questions are split in between two subtypes, "find the rule" (PSAr) and "find the application" (PSAa).
In the "find the rule" (PSAr) subtype, the stimulus will conclude something based on a set of fact premises, and will be in need of a "rule" that strengthens the argument. This is the overwhelming majority of PSA questions. You can also think of the "rule" as a "principle."
In the "find the application" (PSAa) subtype, the reverse is happening. In the stimulus you're given the rule/principle already. In the ACs, your job is to find the facts/application that, well, applies to the rule.
We're working on updating the Core Curriculum to add these concepts shortly!
