Are there any tricks to identify main conclusion in an argument other than the indicators?

    For me, a conclusion is an opinion statement, and a premise is a factual statement. When I feel confused, I ask myself is this sentence factual or opinion?

    Perfect thank you so much. I actually just started preparing and many times find it hard to distinguish. I get so many questions wrong its so frustrating. Does this happen to you as well?

    It is normal. Do not feel bad. You'll get better with times and applying the skills that you will learn here.

    @abhinavmehra113 yes, it happened all the time when I just started studying for the LSAT. I would recommend having a firm grasp of the core curriculum first on 7Sage. Mastering all the concepts and ideas alone would put you in the low 160s range. If you have more questions, feel free to DM me. ^^

    In addition to considering whether a statement is fact or opinion, I also sometimes ask myself: "What is the author trying to convince me of?" Often, you can determine the conclusion by answering this question.
