Are you already familiar with the phenomenon-hypothesis structure, and practiced at introducing and eliminating alternate hypotheses? When it comes to complex causal reasoning, there are further depths to plumb! This class will help you build a deeper understanding of causal reasoning on the LSAT.
Both MSS and MBT questions ask us to evaluate inferences- what can be validly drawn for the stimulus, and are all valid inferences equally valid? This class will explore the significant similarities and differences between the two classes, with an emphasis on the tips and strategies best applied when you encounter a question of either type on the test.
Difficulty: 3-5 Stars
Pace: 5-8 Questions
Looking for live instruction on any particular LR or RC questions you’ve encountered during self study? Have follow up questions about a difficult question you came across during class? Bring them into our weekly office hours!
Difficulty: Questions will be brought in by students and can be at any difficulty level.
Pace: We will aim to get through as many questions as possible but because of the nature of the class, the actual number of questions we get through will vary based on discussion.
Being able to quickly identify the assumptions an argument's author makes is one of the most vital LSAT skills. Which are critical to the argument, and which are unimportant? Are they always invalid? This class will explore the space between the lines, home to assumptions of every kind.
Difficulty: 3-5 stars

Struggling to understand the notion of support and the critical role it plays Logical Reasoning? This class features an in-depth exploration and analysis of question types within the strengthening subset including NA, Strengthen, PSAr, and SA questions. Learn to navigate the nuanced differences that make each of these question types unique, yet similar!
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.
Difficulty: 5 Stars
Pace: 4 Questions
A question type often rife with abstract and referential language, Method of Reasoning questions test your ability to accurately and efficiently understand the structure of an argument. This class will cover the essential strategies to look to when you see a Method question!
Difficulty: 3-5 Stars
Pace: 4-6 Questions
Macro-level strategies are a critical yet often neglected set of LSAT skills. When engaging with the test, you should always have a plan! This class focuses on the broader strategies to rely on for individual LR question types. Learn to quickly switch approaches throughout a section with confidence as different question types come up, and how to efficiently spot questions that present an exception to the usual case.
Pace: 5-8 Questions
Difficulty: 3-5 Stars
Sufficient Assumption questions can be tricky, but once you know the right strategies, they become much easier to navigate. This class will help you understand the key concepts and techniques to tackle these questions confidently. Master how to identify the necessary assumption to make the argument logically sound!
Conditional reasoning on the LSAT ranges from the basic form "if A then B" to convoluted sets of conditional rules and qualifiers that can slow down and trip up even the most experienced students. Join us for a deep dive into the finer points of conditional reasoning!
Note: This is an advanced class and is designed for students who have already completed the core curriculum. Everyone is welcome, but we may redirect foundational questions to our weekend office hours class to keep the class moving along.
