Sufficient and necessary conditions are some of the most common logical elements encountered in logical reasoning. Easily confused with each other and often unintuitive, they can make for some truly hard SA and NA questions! This class will cover the concepts and strategies that are essential for effectively navigating both question types.
A variant of most strongly supported and pseudo-sufficient assumption (find the rule) questions, principle questions ask us to identify a statement that underlies or coheres with the argument presented in the stimulus. Learn to effectively differentiate between irrelevant or contradictory options and the close matches this question subtype demands!
The closely related Parallel Reasoning and Parallel Flaw question types are often regarded as the most difficult and time consuming of the LR types. They don't have to be! This class will cover key concepts and strategies that will help you navigate parallel reasoning with accuracy and confidence.
Note: this class has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. We apologize for the inconvenience!
A significant portion of a typical LR section is made up of Weaken, Strengthen, and Evaluate questions. These three closely-related question types all ask us: what would tip the scales for an argument? Sharpen your skills while exploring the important similarities and differences between them!
Split into PSAr (find the rule) and PSAa (application) questions, these cousins of Sufficient Assumption questions tend to be less straightforward- and thus more difficult! This class will cover the concepts and strategies that are essential for effectively navigating both variants of this question type.
Do you tend to start studying early in the day, or have other commitments that leave little time elsewhere for the LSAT? Start the day with other early studiers! This class will feature varied question types of varied difficulty.
Both Must be True and Must be False questions ask us to identify the truly certain: the AC that absolutely cannot be false or true, depending on the variant of this stem at hand. Learn to efficiently sort between the guaranteed implications of an argument and the lesser conclusions that don’t make quite make the cut!
Looking for live instruction on a particular LR question you’ve encountered? You’ll have a chance to nominate the material covered in this class! To maximize the amount of nominated material that gets covered, this class will move at a faster pace and feature an emphasis on strong timing habits and strategies.
With a double portion of LR guaranteed every test, the Logical Reasoning section is more important than ever! Mondays through Wednesdays will feature questions of average difficulty, while Thursdays and Fridays will feature the most challenging questions the test has to offer.
Drilling is one of the most important elements of your study plan, but drilling effectively isn’t always intuitive. This class will focus on fast drills that help bolster good timing habits, with a chance to discuss in between.
