LSAT Writing: Can I choose both arguments?
distraught
Core Member
So I was reading the LSAC practice prompt and was wondering if I could answer with "This plan is currently the most effective strategy, but eventually they should expand to a national strategy once regional expansion is established." Here is the prompt: https://www.lsac.org/lsat/lsat-prep/practice-test/writing-sample-topic
Could anyone let me know if this is a factor that would hurt me and my argument or if it's okay to answer any which way.

No you can only make an argument for one or the other
I would not write an argument for both sides. The instructions are fairly clear to only make an argument for one choice, so I think attempting to do both, could hurt you. It may be a good or valid paper/argument, but it wouldn't be following the instructions.
Yeah, just pick one to argue is better. You can acknowledge the other argument and its pros, but then prove it wrong by trumping it with your chosen argument.
