  1. In LSAT Analytical Reasoning, a 'floater' refers to:

    Answer: An element not restricted by any specific rule

    A floater is a game element with no individual constraints, giving it maximum flexibility in placement.

  2. An LSAT Logical Reasoning stimulus that presents evidence and a conclusion that does not follow from that evidence contains what kind of error?

    Answer: A non sequitur (gap between evidence and conclusion)

    A non sequitur occurs when the conclusion does not logically follow from the stated premises, creating a gap in the argument.

  3. Which LSAT score range is typically considered competitive for admission to top-14 law schools?

    Answer: 165–180

    Scores of 165 and above (roughly 90th percentile or higher) are generally considered competitive at the most selective law schools.

  4. In the context of LSAT Reading Comprehension, the 'primary purpose' of a passage is best identified by:

    Answer: Determining the main task the author accomplishes throughout the entire passage

    The primary purpose captures what the author is doing overall — arguing, describing, comparing, critiquing — not any single detail.

  5. Which of the following best describes 'circular reasoning' as a logical flaw?

    Answer: Assuming the truth of what one is trying to prove as part of the evidence

    Circular reasoning (begging the question) uses the conclusion itself as one of the premises, making the argument self-referential and invalid.

  6. Under LSAC policy, test-takers who test positive for COVID-19 or experience a qualifying emergency on test day may:

    Answer: Request a free score cancellation or test date change

    LSAC allows score cancellations and test-date changes under qualifying circumstances, often without counting against retake limits.

  7. An LSAT question asks: 'Which one of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?' The best approach is to:

    Answer: Find an answer that attacks a premise or introduces a consideration that undermines the conclusion

    Weakening questions require finding an answer that, if true, reduces the probability that the conclusion follows from the premises.
