Summary
The content provides an in-depth strategy for tackling equivalent rule questions on the LSAT, emphasizing their complexity and the tactical approach required for efficient problem-solving.
  • Equivalent rule questions ask to find a rule that can be substituted without changing the game's outcome, indicating a high level of understanding and application of the rules.
  • Initial strategy involves eliminating answer choices that have not been consistently true across all game scenarios, using previous sketches as a reference.
  • Testing remaining answer choices by attempting to break the original rule while adhering to the new rule proposed in each answer choice helps identify the correct substitution.
  • Answer choice E, deduced from prior game analysis, emerges as the correct answer through a process of elimination and testing against the game's established rules.
  • Such questions are recommended to be attempted last due to their time-consuming nature and are advised to be skipped if they hinder overall exam progress, especially for those not scoring in the 160s.
