Hello,
My name is Lexi Gibbs. I've currently begun studying for the LSAT this December. I am following PowerScores 6 month study plan. I've got the Bibles, the Workbooks and the Training books that were advised in the 6 month study plan. With that being said I am on Week 2. I have 2 very simple, quick questions I hope you can help me with (This will probably be the first of many simple, quick questions before December 2). With that being said, on page 22 of the Logical Reasoning Bible there is note to the left of the page which reads "Remember that words can be used in different ways. Thus, a word can appear on this list and not be used as a premise or conclusion indicator." My question is, we are given the list of Premise and Conclusion indicators and are told to be very familiar with them. When they appear on the LR questions how are we to decipher if they're being used as a premise or conclusion indicator when it states they may not be used? If we spot indicators in each LR question and recognize them from the list but they turn out to not be premise or conclusion indicators then we can potentially miss the question. Im curious how to determine the different between knowing they're indicators and knowing they're not.
Question 2 is in reference to page 24 there is a comment which states "premises and conclusions can be constructed without indicator words present." This also throws me for a loop because how are we to determine the premise and conclusion without indicator words? Are we to go with what we think sounds right? I am at a dilemma trying to figure out how to recognize these types of questions and how to solve them.
I hope you can help!
Thank you,
Lexi Gibbs
