Match structure, not surface details.

Lesson Notes
Section 1 / 4

Parallel reasoning questions test whether you can match logic, not content. Two arguments can be about completely different topics yet share the same logical structure. Your task is to identify that structure and find the closest match.

Short segments for focus-friendly pacing.
Key Points
  • Structure matters more than content
  • Diagram or paraphrase the argument pattern
  • Trap answers share topics but not logic
  • Correct answers can feel unfamiliar
  • Focus on logical form first
Reflection

Write a simple logical pattern from a recent question and explain why one answer matched it better than the others.
