STEP 4: DRAW ANY DIAGRAMS, CHARTS, OR PICTURES THAT ARE HELPFUL
No diagrams, charts, or pictures are necessary here. Since you’ve made your deductions, you are ready to answer the question.
If you scan the answer choices looking for the deduction you made, you’ll see that it’s sitting there waiting for you. You deduced that
Christine is not the smartest girl in the junior class. Answer choice (G) states that Christine is not the smartest girl in the junior
class, so answer (G) is correct. You should note that choices (F), (H), (J), and (K) are all unwarranted assumptions. They might be
true, but they do not have to be true.
In sum, you should apply the same four steps to every Logical Reasoning problem on the SHSAT. As you’ve seen, sometimes you
will not need to do anything for Step 4. You do not always have to draw a diagram. However, if it will help, always draw a
diagram.
