summary
the essence of tackling parallel reasoning questions on the lsat involves understanding the argument's structure, breaking it down into its conclusion and evidence, and then matching this structure with one of the answer choices.
- parallel reasoning questions require identifying the argument structure and finding a similar structure among the answer choices.
- these types of questions are designed to be time-consuming, suggesting a strategic approach of skipping them initially.
- breaking down the argument involves identifying its conclusion and evidence, then abstracting this information into a formulaic structure.
- answer choices often use similar terms, allowing for predictions about the structure of the correct answer.
- the correct answer choice will mirror the original argument's structure, including the conclusion and evidence, but with different content.
