Circular Reasoning on the LSAT? Forum

[Economyclass]

Hi, I know that circular reasoning is often an answer choice on the LSAT, but I can't recall having seen it as an actual flaw in the reasoning of a stimulus...can someone point me towards an instance where circular reasoning is indeed the flaw?

Thanks!

I've wondered the same thing. I think I've seen it as the right answer once or twice. More often than not it's the wrong AC.

they're not so common, but hesus is definitely right in that it does show up a lot in answer choices.

PT24 S2 Q8 is circular reasoning

There are a few. Scroll down to the Flaw in the Reasoning part. I think there were others as well that were just never filled in.

In the MH LR book, I recall them saying this is more likely than not a WRONG AC, but not always the case.
