The only thing necessary for A is B
The only requirement for A is B
All that is needed for A is B
Do these all indicate bidirectionals?

Hi! Does anyone know any good YouTube videos on how to get better at conditional conclusions specifically?

How do you know when to draw out implicit premises in questions like this? #help

@Elijah_Mize Does "is any" "is all" "is each" etc, all indicate bidirectional (basically "is + sufficient indicator")?

I've seen a few problems with the implicit assumption. How can I recognize when an implicit assumption is present? @tutor

It would be great if you could help me close this gap! I can send timings if needed as well. All of my recent BRs have been between 175-179, but all of my scores are between 160-163. This was PTest 142.

Can someone reexplain why A is wrong? For the example he gave in the video: "Smoking tends to cause lung cancer" and an AC that says "many people who smoke don't have lung cancer," in my mind that would weaken the arg. While that is not a strong weakener, I don't understand how it is considered to not weaken. In that same sense, how is A not a weakener? @LowriThomas
Thanks!

@JoelKeenan Hi, why can't we read the either/ors as conditional statements though to evaluate whether A is true or false? #tutorhelp

Can someone expain how, if you write A out, it still proves false:
A:
OPTION 1: econ weak ---> /invest decreasing (original conditional proves this is false)
OPTION 2: invest decreasing ---> /econ weak (contrapositive conditional DOESN'T prove false)
Can someone explain this better for me?
Hi! I received a 161 on my first LSAT. I am trying to figure out if I should cancel my score. I have the whole year to study (applying to the 2026 cycle), and aim to get in the 170s. In the eyes of a T-14 school, is a 161 worse or better than a cancellation on my record?
Thanks for guidance!

How do we know that "recent evidence suggests this view is mistaken"is the MC and not the Sub-Conclusion?
