Hi there,
I just started studying LSAT and was wondering how does the team spots conclusions?
Do you use indicator words as from the lecture?
Or
Do you just read an question and always ask why or the assumption method? (assume X is conclusion, whether the passage supports?
Comments
-For non-conclusion/main point questions, I tend to use the indicator words. Try not to rely on indicator words for MP/MC questions - they tend to indicate subsidiary conclusions.
-The "Why" method: This one is my favorite. I look for the sentence that makes me wonder "why?" Why should I believe the author? Why is that the case? If the remaining sentences provide me with background or an explanation that answers my "why?" question, then the sentence that led me to ask "why?" is the main point/conclusion.
-Gut feeling: As you progress through the curriculum, conclusions and main points will just pop out at you.
