A bank of 212 exam style questions for future law students preparing for the LSAT. Every answer comes with a four part rationale: why the correct answer is right, why the others are wrong, the principle behind it, and the takeaway to remember.
Sample question 1. In logical reasoning, the conclusion of an argument is best described as:
A. any fact stated in the stimulus
B. the answer choice selected
C. the first sentence of the passage
D. the main point the argument is trying to establish
Answer: D. Correct: the conclusion is the claim the author wants you to accept, supported by the premises. Why the others are wrong: it need not be first, is not merely any stated fact, and is not an answer choice. Principle: arguments move from support to a claim. Takeaway: the conclusion is the point being argued for.
Sample question 2. A premise in an argument functions to:
A. restate the conclusion
B. provide support or evidence for the conclusion
C. introduce a counterexample
D. summarize the passage
Answer: B. Correct: a premise offers the reasons or evidence the author uses to back the conclusion. Why the others are wrong: a premise supports rather than restates, is not inherently a counterexample, and is not a summary. Principle: reasons drive toward the claim. Takeaway: premises supply the support for a conclusion.
Sample question 3. An assumption in an LSAT argument is:
A. a stated premise
B. irrelevant background
C. the conclusion itself
D. an unstated claim the argument needs to be valid
Answer: D. Correct: a necessary assumption is an unstated link the argument depends on to hold together. Why the others are wrong: it is unstated, not the conclusion, and not irrelevant. Principle: arguments often rely on gaps left unsaid. Takeaway: an assumption is the unstated bridge the argument needs.
