@EmmaDjukic I think you can! We just haven't seen an example here.
What we did see an example of is that you just have to be very careful because a lot of trap answers will say something like "if it is not raining, then the hotel is not required to give an umbrella to guests" which confuses sufficiency and necessity. (what if the hotel owner really, really cares about guest sun protection and made the umbrella a requirement on sunny days??)
@KayleeMurray They're probably referring to the fact that, throughout the curriculum, whenever there was a video explanation for a problem, there was usually a summary of the premises and conclusion, understood as P -> C (premise leads to conclusion), as the most specific form of whatever rule you would be looking for in the answer choices.
@mszchloechen640 read it for familiarity and connection but don't try to remember everything or you'll stress yourself out even more (don't overthink the LSAT--Just Do It, Shia)

Are you allowed to take the contra positive of a rule, or not?
For example, if the rule is:
"if there is a rain storm, the hotel must provide umbrellas to its guests"
are you allowed to say that:
"if the hotel is not required to give an umbrella to its guests, it is not raining"
Or do situations like that simply not arise in these question types?
@EmmaDjukic So from the lesson examples and You Trys in this section, seems like we cannot!

This is a great summary!

hi; what does "logical notation" exactly refer to?
It refers to the "lawgic" lessons in the core curriculum!
