Hey, everyone. In my quest to become an LSAT test-taking machine, I made some digital flashcards to help me memorize some key concepts in LR:
-- Valid/Invalid argument forms
-- Stimuli Indicators (premise/conclusion, sufficient/necessary, causation, some/most/all)
-- Strategies by Question Type
I'm going to flip through these every day from now until the September test date until they can instantly be recalled from memory. And obviously, they're a compliment--not a substitute--for other forms of preparation. I thought I'd pass them along, just in case you find them useful, too.
If you like them, great!
If you don't like them, please tell me how you think they can be improved.
If you spot an error, please let me know.
If you have some great flashcards that help you memorize important LSAT info, please pass it along, too.
Thanks!

5 years later your post is still helping people!!!!
https://quizlet.com/LetsHigh5. Try this. It hits all High 5 creations...You may have to create a Q account. Not sure. Kindest regards.
I can't find a link on this? Can someone help me find the link?
THANK YOU!
This is great. Thank you very much!
Thank you!!
Bump because this is really helpful.
Yo, I am just finding this. I am wishing so much good karma on you RN!!

Thanks mate!
Much appreciated.

**Conditional Words**: words that express a clause/causal relationship, i.e. when something occurs or when it does not (e.g. "if", "unless", "as long as", etc.)
**Modal Words**: words that express the likelihood of something occurring or not (e.g. "will", "probably", "can", etc.)
**Quantifier Words**: words that express the amounts/degree of something occurring (e.g. "all", "most", "some", etc.)
Yes, as stated by others, the 7Sage curriculum (or other LSAT resources) are where you'll go to learn these how these specific modifiers affect LSAT arguments.
And the reason it's so important to notice ANY and ALL of these conditional/modal/quantifier words is that the presence of even one of them in a stimulus or answer choice completely alters argument. In fact, throughout all LR and RC sections, the difference between a valid or invalid argument, or a correct or incorrect answer, will often hinge precisely on the presence of one of these types of words.
I hope that helps.

The Intro To Logic section of the CC explains all of these... its good, check it out.

Can someone please explain
"CIRCLE: all conditional, modal, and quantifier words."
what exactly are conditional, modal, and quantifier words or where I can be directed to learn exactly what those terms mean.
Thanks!
The strategies for each question type is exactly what I've been looking for!! You sir/madame are a stand up citizen! Totally added all of these to my LSAT Folder on quizlet
Bump!
I wish I knew this existed when I started studying. :'[
@kleinstd975 Thank you for these!!
(bump)
Just a reminder to those that just happened upon this post: the update I posted in the comments shows how I improved upon the original post.
THANK YOU SO MUCH @kleinstd975 !!!!
THANK YOU!!! life saver bless you
Awesome resource, @samanthaashley92715! I love that so many people here go the extra mile to share their wisdom and labors with each other.
Out of curiosity, how do you guys use these cards to study? While I love using flashcards for vocabulary, alarm bells go off in my brain at the thought of using flash cards for logic. I fear that even attempting to memorize those rules will stunt my ability to consistently and accurately derive them on my own. In not actually knowing these rules but being able to correctly arrive at them given any LR situation, I get unambiguous feedback and validation that I genuinely understand the logic, and have the skills necessary to pull such functions from a text. I don't want to gain a false sense of security by having the connections be automatic in most cases, only to feel unconditioned and blindly subservient when faced with an inevitable curveball.
But that's just my speculation as someone who hasn't tried it! Clearly a lot of people use these advantageously. I'd love to hear about how you guys use them so successfully!

I'm a teacher and the research shows that distributed practice coupled with memory retrieval is far superior for learning than re-reading material. Here is a short but informative video that explains some other quick study hacks based the science of learning, as well.
This is correct! Thanks for the flash cards:)
