When a question offers no additional premises, is the question referring to the prior question/game board?

Although most law schools claim not to have a preemptive cutoff score for the LSAT. Let be real, they have to draw the line somewhere. Let’s say for a school whose median is 153, and a mean of 150. Would you say that cutoff is 149?

I am wondering if there are any methods and/or ideas you use to configure a game board within the analytical reasoning section. Thank you in advance.
