Title says it all. I'm having trouble finding an answer through Google.

    Some. You know that there are at least more than one, but you don't have enough information to conclude that it is more than half

    Due to English language and how sometimes its ambiguous, "Some" and "Most" are not exact numbers but a range.
    "Some" could mean anything from 1%-100% and "Most" could mean anything from 51%-100%.

    Instead of trying to find a specific answer, I would say get comfortable with these ranges and see how the LSAT exploits it.
    For example in a CBT answer, a some statement could lead to a most answer. But if its asking for a MBT then you know that we cannot conclude a "most" statement.

    Thanks @JustDoIt and @Sami

    Definitely coming around to the idea that the percentages are a big part of discerning some from most.

    @Sami Can you clarify your last statement about CBT and MBT? Are you saying that if some if offered in the stim then you cannot conclude most in an answer choice?
