Answer Elimination Techniques

Outsmarting Tricky Answer Choices

Sometimes, finding the right answer is about eliminating the wrong ones! The LSAT loves to include tempting but incorrect choices.

How to Eliminate

  • Watch for extreme wording (always, never)
  • Spot answers that go beyond the argument
  • Ditch choices that are irrelevant

Why This

Helps

Eliminating just one or two wrong answers boosts your odds and your confidence.

Examples

  • Crossing out answer choices with words like 'never' or 'always' when the argument isn’t that extreme.

  • Eliminating an answer that brings in ideas not mentioned in the prompt.
