LSAT Logic 101

Description

A small number of LSAT questions genuinely test formal logic. These are often among the hardest LSAT questions, but when you know the specific logic the LSAT tests, they are amongst the easiest questions. The goal of this course is simple: teach you to recognize these questions and teach you the bare minimum amount of formal logic that makes them easy.

This is not an overhaul of your entire approach. Most questions don’t involve formal logic at all. The questions where this is applicable are:

• Must be True/False
• Parallel Reasoning and Flaw Parallel
• Sufficient Assumption
• Principle
• Flaw questions

Only a portion of these use formal logic. This course will teach you to recognize it when you see it, and how to apply it easily. The topics we’ll cover include:

1. Conditional Statements
2. Quantity Words (None, some, most, all) and their negations
3. Combining conditional statements and quantity words
4. How and where to diagram logic. Usually only 1-2 questions per test
5. Translating conditional logic into plain English.

It is the easy and correct translation of conditional logic that has the biggest payoff. Most people focus on diagramming, but understanding the logic is the main outcome we’ll be aiming at. To this end, we’ll have:

• An overview of each concept
• Sample questions that apply it
• Lists of questions to drill to master the concepts
• Videos to review the concepts
• A conditional logic drilling tool to give you infinite practice translating statements

LSAT Logic 101 will be a live session + course materials. We’ll meet on Sunday, September 28th, at 3 pm EST. There will be a recording if you can’t make it + recorded lesson modules and drills to master the skills involved.

LSAT Logic is not a large topic, so if you’re taking October or November there’s enough time to use this to improve your performance on conditional questions. We’ll be quite precisely targeting only using this on questions where it’s actually relevant: you don’t need to overhaul your whole approach. I’ll be teaching you the same techniques I teach all of my tutoring students.

Once you signup, you’ll get immediate access to conditional reasoning drilling tools, and a link to Sunday’s session. More videos and drills will follow in the days to come. LSAT Logic 101 is $99, but we have a temporary launch sale of $89.99 until end of day Wednesday.
