Categorization Information

Logical Reasoning

• Must Be True: ask for a statement that is conclusively proven by the stimulus
• Most Strongly Supported: ask for a statement that is supported by the stimulus
• Complete the Passage: ask you to choose the statement which best completes the passage
• Cannot Be True: ask for a statement that is incompatible with the stimulus

• Identify: ask you to paraphrase the main conclusion in the stimulus
• Supply: ask you to supply the main conclusion for the stimulus

• Identify: ask you to extract a general rule from the stimulus
• Apply: ask you to apply a general rule provided by the stimulus

• Necessary: ask for an unstated premise that must be true if the conclusion is valid
• Sufficient: ask for a premise that, when added to the stimulus, proves the conclusion

• Argument: ask for a description of the argumentative technique used in the stimulus
• Statement: ask for the function of a particular statement in the stimulus

• Strengthen: ask you to select information that supports the argument
• Weaken: ask you to select information that undermines the argument
• Evaluate: ask you to select a question which best tests the argument’s validity

• Reasoning: ask for the answer choice that matches the reasoning of the stimulus
• Flaw: ask for the answer choice which matches a flaw in the stimulus

• Agree: ask for a point on which two speakers would agree
• Disagree: ask for a point on which two speakers would disagree

Logic Games

• Relative: ordering a set of variables relative to each other
• Simple: ordering a set of variables relative to fixed positions
• Complex: ordering two or more sets of variables relative to fixed positions

• In/Out: assigning each entity to exactly one of two groups primarily through the application of conditional statements 
• Distribution: assigning each entity to exactly one of a given number of groups

• Determined: the exact number of each variable to be placed in the diagram can be deduced from the setup and conditions
• Undetermined: the exact number of each variable to be placed in the diagram is left open by the setup and conditions and can vary from question to question 

• Allocations: limited slot structures or limited variable allocations can be deduced from the setup and conditions 
• Scenarios: limited partially-completed diagrams can be deduced from the setup and conditions
• Solutions: limited completed diagrams can be deduced from the setup and conditions

Active Variables: the variables which are to be placed into a particular structure
