We need to distinguish conditional statements from the conditions provided and their results. Conditional statements provide a map of meaning which we can use to determine inferences if we are given relevant conditions. No mat…

This boils down to LG not being a science. It often hits me to do games differently the second, third, or fourth time through.
In the conditional sequencing game in PT 83,- JY decided not to split, but in an almost exactly …

I don't remember if the CC covers an issue related to this, but there is often an implied "all" before sentences that begin with a plural verb. "Police officers should uphold the law." …

Is there any rule of the English language that allows us to tell when the claim "As are B" means every single A is a B, and when "As are B" is a generalization that means only that some or most As …

I decided to take the LSAT in 2014, third year of college. I purchased some popular LSAT prep books and read them throughout my summer while doing physics research on campus. Did some PTs and took the September 2014 test. Knew…

Hey guys, I just posted a new video for PT 32, Game 2.
It's a difficult in/out game that can be made easier with a better game board. Have a look!
Given how much weight YouTube places on likes/dislikes, would you g…
We want to keep F and H apart at all times. Adding a rule that says whenever I is not in a Group, it must have G, would do exactly that. If you don't put I in the group, then the group can only have G + F/H. And, if you DO put I in the group, the gr…
Another example from the Trainer. "Sarah only dates funny boys."
If the intended meaning is that the only people Sarah dates are funny boys then that wording is just point blank wrong. The LSAT would not write that type of sentence, but course auth…
I think the reason this is confusing is that it's grammatically incorrect if the intended meaning is "If Work --> Then Tuesday". The LSAT, as far as I know, has NEVER expressed that idea in this fashion. It's not truly ambiguous -- the actual mea…

I gave this some thought, I think you have a solid point, this might be something you want to reach out to the LSAC about. I have heard of them answering questions. Please keep me posted on when/if they respond to your …

I think what @TheLSAT is trying to communicate is that, for the purpose of the LSAT (due to the specific language of LSAC), "exclusive or" will always lead to one or the other, when technically (and this part is outside of…
@TheLSAT said:
@dcdcdcdcdc The definition of "or" in the exclusive arena does not mean at least one because at least one denotes that you could have more than one. In the exclusive or arena, the definition of the "or" is at most one. However, …

thanks @"Cant Get Right"! @anonclsstudent do you happen to remember where you saw the approach of working on acceptable situation questions while reading through the rules?
@partyondudes you should be able to see this new…
How do you do argument-based questions without identifying the conclusion and the premises? Do you mean that you just don't write them out or note them with pencil, but you do in fact note them in your head? Or that you don't identify the specific a…
Thank you. The approaches I mentioned in the original post seem to be new...there was no explanation by JY as to why we were changing things up from prior videos.
