LSAT apply information questions usually ask either for an example of a general guideline or for an analogous situation to a specific situation described in the passage. Try the following approaches:

Example Questions

To do these questions, try the following: First, re-read the general situation described in the passage. Try to find minute details that may help you eliminate choices. Second, apply that general situation and those minute details to each choice, looking for which choices violate the information, rather than trying to justify how choices might fit. For an example, see LSAT PrepTest 50, Section 1, Question 19. These questions and this approach are similar to LSAT apply principle questions in the logical reasoning section.

 

Analogy Questions

These questions ask you to identify an analogous situation. A sure way to get frustrated with these questions is to try to save time by going immediately to the choices without first determining what an analogous situation would be. Instead, try the following. First, in your own words and in as few words as possible, extract the general guidelines from the specific situation described in the passage. For example, consider LSAT PrepTest 48, Question 9. The general guideline is simply "unconsciously reveals". Second, apply that general guideline to each choice focusing on which ones violate the general guidelines rather than trying to justify which ones fit. As an additional example, see LSAT PrepTest 49, Section 3, Question 3. These questions and this approach are similar to LSAT parallel principle questions in the logical reasoning section.
