Just because someone says something is true, does that mean it’s actually true? Just because something is actually true, does that mean that someone knows it to be true?

The LSAT tests our ability to distinguish between reality and what someone thinks, believes, or knows—join this class to see how these patterns show up in questions, and what you can do to anticipate them.

Difficulty: Intermediate

Pace: Slow (3-6 questions)
