Re: Wrong Answers On LSAT

As you have asked about the method to eliminate wrong answers in Law Scholastic Aptitude Test (LSAT), I am giving you information about it, check
below for the information

Test writing is an extremely time-consuming task.

One of the most difficult parts of test writing is generating the "junk" wrong
answer choices.

Here is an example of what the given choices for a question might look like:



If you misread the passage, this looks right.

Maybe right -- close call with some subtle difference most students miss.

Correct answer!

The opposite of the correct answer

Something completely off topic, but it sounds impressive.

A skilled test taker can quickly identify trap answer types and then use
process of elimination to increase the chances of getting the right answer.

Methods to eliminate wrong answer:
Trick Question Type #1: The Sentimental Favorite

The LSAT will have answer choices that will appeal to our better angels. Remember that just because a LSAT choice is sweet-sounding, it doesn't mean that it's correct.

Trick Question Type #2: Scope Trap

If you've found the main point, you must also identify what is in the range of the argument.
Trick Question Type #3: Trick Opposites

This trap involves contradicting the question stem. This trap is very common on Strengthen/Weaken questions where the answer choice does the opposite of what the stem wants.
