With dialogue questions, ensure that you remember which author the question asks about. This may seem obvious, but when you are taking the actual LSAT and are nervous and pressed for time, it is easy to make such a simple mistake and pick a choice that refers to the other author. As such, highlight the author whom the question asks about, like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Additionally, recognize that some dialogue questions appear within a single passage, in that the author presents his or her opponent's claim, then argues against that claim in the second half of the passage. As examples, see PrepTest 45, Section 1, Questions 2 and 20. When doing this type of question on the LSAT, ensure that you are clear as to which argument the question asks by circling the relevant part of the passage. An incorrect choice may refer to the author's opponent's argument. Again, this is obvious, but when you are taking the actual LSAT, small mistakes are easy to make.
