@KevinLin'sOldUserName Wow. This was nothing short of amazing! As was the other training video on main conclusions. Please, please, please do in depth teaching videos like these for every question type. It does an excellent job of pulling the concepts together and letting you see the progression, complexity, and variety in each question type. It would also be an incredible addition to an already strong and comprehensive LSAT training program. Thank you so much!
@Kevin_Lin I'd like to confirm that there is indeed a strong demand! I'll no longer need it by the time it comes out, but I'm sure it'll help many people!
@TanyaOdongo there is absolutely a method! Identify the conclusion in the stimulus then find the answer that if true, makes the conclusion 100% accurate no matter what. But also connect whatever is missing from the premise(s) and conclusion in your answer.
@Lizzzz005 Doing the diagram helped me!! I am a visual person so seeing how the conclusion and premise(s) connect and what info I was missing allowed me to find the correct answer! I even did the diagram with the question regarding keeping a current platform to win the election and was able to clearly find the answer (even though he said we didn't need to do a diagram for that one lol)
So to clarify, in SA questions, are there two types of arguments we might encounter? The first type is where a new word or concept appears in the conclusion that wasn't in the premises, and we need to find an answer that bridges the premises to that new conclusion term. The second type is where the premise and conclusion already share repeated words or concepts, but there are two premises that don't connect to each other, and we need to find an answer that links those two disconnected premises together. In both cases we're bridging a gap — the difference is just in where that gap is located: either between the premises and the conclusion, or between the two premises themselves. Is that the correct way to think about it?
@isabella27 There's a more rare 3rd kind where the gap we're bridging isn't necessarily between 2 concepts. For example, premises are about percent, but the conclusion is about amount. These are more like trying to repair a flaw more than connecting one concept to another.
You are brilliant! I've been struggling with the Sufficient Assumption from self-study, and just this video helps clarify the way to approach it! Thank you :)

This man is such a great teacher. THANK YOU KEVIN. WE LOVE YOU KEVIN
chat im confused
Will you upload a fast track video on Reading Comprehension?
@AnthonyTownleyJr Eventually, but probably not for a while, unless there's strong demand.
@Kevin_Lin There is strong demand! It would be super helpful for those going back over the course after having already taken the LSAT once.
@Kevin_Lin Please do, some of us need it. (you now have 1 person demanding it)
@Kevin_Lin Yes Please
@Kevin_Lin Yes please that would be amazing, these fast track lessons are very helpful in assuring that i am understanding the questions and answers.
@Kevin_Lin I'd like to confirm that there is indeed a strong demand! I'll no longer need it by the time it comes out, but I'm sure it'll help many people!
@Kevin_Lin this would be very helpful!
@Kevin_Lin Yes please
@Kevin_Lin I demand it, highly :)
@Kevin_Lin I'd love real-time reading comp videos (like 4 min passage reading, etc.)
I like this lesson! Would be helpful to have them for each question type. Thanks!
I need this cuz i suck with SA questions
These explanations were very enlightening this question type should be a lot easier for me from now on
Hi Kevin,
I can't appreciate enough this new approach . Please do more!!
KEVINNNN!!! amazing. didn't even know i needed this!!!
@KevinLin'sOldUserName, this is superb, thank you! It would be great if you do this for all the question types.
ya this was pretty confusing ngl, there is no one method of doing this.
@TanyaOdongo there is absolutely a method! Identify the conclusion in the stimulus then find the answer that if true, makes the conclusion 100% accurate no matter what. But also connect whatever is missing from the premise(s) and conclusion in your answer.
Loved this !!!! literally refreshed my mind on Sufficient Assumption
These are so helpful and I am really enjoying this series!!! Would love if you did a weakening question type one!
Very helpful, please do more of these
It didn't click until I watched this video! I came back to this after weeks of drilling, and I think now I finally get SA questions.
the face to the name lol
"trudeau is not a true planet" yeah kevin, he's a politician (i feel so much more confident with SA questions, thanks man)!
@GTHOMP2 he's Katy Perry's boyfriend
very helpful video!
These lessons are literally pointing out the simple mistakes I have been making. I am super excited to have used this platform for the past 5 months.
Amazing lesson with amazing Ohtani example
Does anyone have any tips on SA questions? They are the ones i struggle with most

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Gained so much clarity. TY
