Grammar is tough! Luckily, we don't have to go through this alone. Trying to build up a community of LSAT studiers. If you're interested, feel free to join my Discord server: https://discord.gg/b8XaYkZHxk You got this!

I look at everything, and hope drills gets put into analytics, imo

I'm no tutor, but #2 was hard. Mainly bc the text was clonky, and who wants to reach about inflation. That said, there is a strategy to reading arguments like this and identifying the argument - and maybe it's a "well duh" answer, but look for the author's point in what they're saying. On the surface, it doesn't look like the author is making a point, they're just yapping about inflation, but compared to the first sentence, one is the author's opinion and one is the premise.

For an argument like this, go with the author's opinion.

When there's an argument with a premise, someone else's conclusion, and the author's - go with the author's.

In the event there is a premise and someone else's conclusion, go with someone else's conclusion being the argument, unless the stimulus asks you "what would the author's opinion be" - go off of tone, but that's its own mess.

Ex: PaperMate pens make pens that have both gel and ballpoint. According to George Clooney, the gel pens are way better than the ballpoint because the ballpoint pens run out of ink quicker than the gel.

^ It's not stating what I, the author, thinks about gel versus ballpoint (though, I do agree with this example of Clooney in this case lol), but that's the conclusion nonetheless. Again, maybe a "well duh" for most, but it's helpful to come.

@ecwlsathopeful Hi! I'm by no means a tutor, but I'll attempt to answer your question.

Yes, you can say it's all premises even though there is no conclusion. It's background information for no point. However, there is no point in labeling it as an argument as there is no conclusion, so it kind of just makes it null and void.

HOWEVER, the reason we are to identify if it's a conclusion or not, other than just for identifying the points of an argument, is because there are certain question types where you fill in the conclusion. So, there's definitely a point to it, and you can identify all of the information as premises. But sometimes there isn't a point in calling them premises or background info - that is, until you get to a question on the LSAT that doesn't have a conclusion and you have to use those facts to solve it.

Anyway, yes and no, but mainly yes. Hope this helps (and that it's accurate lol)

It's so wacky trying to identify a non-argument. If anyone wants to join a Discord study group and/or play Minecraft with LSAT people, feel free to join my group! https://discord.gg/b8XaYkZHxk

A trick I learned from an LSAT tutor is the "why, because" test. The why is the conclusion, the because is your premise. For example: "Blue and red make purple. Purple is on the spectrum of red and blue is used to deepen and shift red to a dark lilac hue." So, why do blue and red make purple? Because blue changes how red functions. While I am not an LSAT tutor, I do have a Discord study group if anyone would like to join (or to play MC lol): https://discord.gg/b8XaYkZHxk

@kimwexler Hi! I'm no tutor by any means, but in my understanding of the LSAT, we must always take the premise as true. We can't read the premise, and then say "nuh uh" even if we know the premise is false in this world, we just have to accept it as true in whatever world the LSAT puts us in per stimulus.

Ex: "Red and Blue make green. Yellow and Blue make purple. So, red and blue cannot make purple." You can't weaken that conclusion by going "nuh uh, actually, Red and Blue make purple," we have to just accept they don't understand how to mix primary colors. And if they ask us to weaken the argument, it would be an answer similar to "Red and Blue can't make purple on their own, but adding yellow to the mix creates a deep lilac color" (that color being purple), you have to find a loophole.

As a whole, have to accept the truth of the premise and of the conclusion, and we can't disregard them or say "that's not true". Hope this helps!

@DonovanMaldonado Attached is a link! (not that there's anyone but me in there lol) https://discord.gg/b8XaYkZHxk

18/25 and then 19/25 BR. I didn't realize how helpful a BR was until now - it may have only gone up one question, but if I had read it as carefully as I did the first time, I would have gotten it. Good thing to take away!

Hi! I'm hoping to take the LSAT in November of 2026 and/or January 2026 for law school in 2026. If anyone wants to make a discord group so we can study (and cry) or like, even play Minecraft together when we're overwhelmed with despair, let me know! :D
