Study Strategies

## Sharpen Your Elimination Skills Most LSAT questions have tempting wrong answers. Learning to spot and cut these quickly is crucial. ### How to Eliminate Effectively - **Look for Extreme Language:** Answers that say 'always' or 'never' are often wrong. - **Match the Passage:** Cross out choices that contradict or aren't supported by the text. - **Beware of Irrelevance:** Ignore choices that wander off-topic. ### Real-World Use This skill is valuable for any multiple-choice test or decision-making scenario.

Examples

  • You cross out an answer choice that says 'all scientists agree,' since the passage only mentioned some.
  • You eliminate a choice about economics when the passage was about biology.
