I thought that if the premises are true then a valid conclusion is necessarily true and never false. Is that the case?
True Premise1: A --> B
True Premise2: A --> -B
True Premise3: A

Technically yes, that's valid.
It's impossible for it to be true that 'B and B.' So if you know that A --> B and B, then you can actually be certain that A.
There's a relevant logic game, PT34 S4 G4. It's the …
Thanks for the response. I think I understand but I have another question:
Premise: A --> B
Premise: A --> -B
Inference: A --> B and -B
Is this inference valid?
Ok, awesome. Thanks for the reply. I have a follow up question if I may. With the same premises:
Premise: A -m-> B --> C
Can we conclude anything to "must be false" ? I mean besides just a mundane contradiction such as it's not the case that…

Thanks. Let me ask one more question if I can.
If A is not always B, then A/B, correct?
So then can we or can't we c…
33 here. Personally, I could not imagine working full time AND studying for the LSAT on a regular basis in any meaningful way. I'd hate my life and probably just end up being bad at my job and study. For me, it's either study or full time job. For n…
You have to make /bad mean good or else it makes no sense. I think this would not be a false dichotomy but indeed an actual dichotomy.
good meal --> /bad food
good food --> /bad soil
good soil --> good farming --> culture
GM --> /…

YES!
I Started at 141. Just today I had my first 160 PT. I did about a year of very light, on and off again study and about half a year of moderate study, and about 3 months of pretty dedicated study. That's where I'm at now. IMO, going from 140 to…
In my opinion, I think most all people will have a "max" of time per day that they can study before severe diminishing returns (or even reverse returns) set in. I think anywhere beyond 5 hours is well past this point for most people. The way I see i…
My guess would be: If I were to come across this question in a timed setting I'd probably designate it to mean 99%, or call it most of most (most is 51% - 100%, most of most would be ~76.5% - 100%) I guess, stressing the lower bounds of the definiti…
My first official lsat I scored 0, as in 0 correct, in LG (141 overall) because LGs was basically just a foreign language to me. I'm still progressing for sure, no where near perfect, but I've made some progress.
For an idea, in an untimed setting …

I know there are specific accommodations for talking out loud, which I assume implies that if you don't have the accommodation then you're not allowed to.
That's funny, I was just going through my setup right now. I have a laptop, but I use a large external monitor most times and was planning on using it during the test (with accompanying external webcam/mic. If the above rule is all they mention abou…
Maybe this is a good idea:
During your practice tests, don't mark answers to questions you have not completed. Also, for questions where you know you're more guessing than not guessing, don't fill in an answer for those either. If you do this, then…
I don't think anyone can exactly answer that for you, but I think the best answer I've read regarding a question like this was something along the lines of this:
Schedule your official test date(s) only after you're consistently hitting your score …
I'm 33 and on unemployment. I was rejected from all the schools I applied to during my first application cycle (141 LSAT score). I'm taking this time to study for the LSAT and my goal is to obtain a 165+ on an official LSAT in time for the 2022 appl…
