Q&A
What does anticipation mean?
o Its predicting what the answer might be… or rather is helps you process what you’ve seen and view it simply.
o Anticipating is a better phrase than “predicting or pre phrasing” as you cannot actively predict answers verbatim, but you can anticipate what you might see as an answer choice.
o This is something you do BEFORE looking at any answer choices, considering and processing everything you’ve read.
Why is it important?
o Anticipating an answer choices helps you process and thinking better about what you’ve just read.
o Keeps you actively engaged.
o The LSATis giving you trap answer or "attractor" answer choices, as these answers are purposely made to be seen as a possible answer
o Anticipating answer choices is “your best friend” as it can help you avoid those "attractor" answers
When should I anticipate?
o Every time, in every section make it a habit
What am I thinking about?
What question type was this?
I am looking for a question that does this or this
o Take it as far as you can for every question.
How specific should I be?
o Take it as far as you can, but the focus is on successful analysis
o Its ok to be broad and have a few general ideas
o Don’t worry about how “close” it is
• If it a SA question, you might be able to get close but not verbatim. For example, the concept might be the same while the answer choice wasn’t what you “thought”
Practice
o Create “Contendors” ones that could be the answer and meet the criteria of what you’ve anticipated. You want to keep these.
o Eliminate ones that don’t meet your anticipation
o Before you make a final answer go back through the contenders considering all factors.
