Struggling with Main Point Questions

NeedToPass · September 2022

I have reviewed the lessons and have practiced these questions and just can't seem to get them. Does anyone have a hack or tips they recommend?

Take your time. The LSAT is not a sprint; it's a marathon.

Be familiar with the list of premise and conclusion indicators. However, do not depend on the list for all MP questions - especially the more difficult ones. Sometimes you will have to ask yourself "What is the author trying to tell me?" or "What is the big/bigger idea?" as you read. From there, you should be able to start deciphering.

Howdy, Stranger!
