For some reason I saw this as begging the question because it stated the conclusion before hand but I was definitely torn between the two
Hi everyone, hope your studies are going well. I just wanted to share an explanation of SUFFICIENT and NECESSARY conditions. This explanation is something I randomly came up with and I hope it works for someone trying to understand how that works in LAWGIC.
Explanation of the Sufficient/Necessary condition:
I want you to imagine that you are trying to enter into the most secure building on earth. There is only one way into the building, and that’s through a giant electronic glass door.
Conditions:
YOU are on the outside.
YOU have a proximity card that can be scanned to open the door
There is also a buzzer outside the door that you can ring.
When you do ring the buzzer, the door can be opened on the inside by a SECURITY guard.
Some days your proximity card works and some days it does not. Depending on if you are needed in the building on that day.
So there we have it.
Now:
SUFFICIENT: You scan your proximity card OR you ring the buzzer.
NECESSARY: The door opens
Scenario one:
Sufficient fails
Necessary failsSufficient fails (Now for whatever reason, one morning you walk to that door and that door does not open at all. What do you know? What do we all know? Well we all know that:
a. The necessary thing you needed to enter the building: DOOR OPENING, has failed.
b. If that door failed to open what else do we know? Well, your card didn’t work or the guard was just not going to let you in that morning. IN short, door didn’t open. Thus all the things that could’ve made it open... someone walking ahead of you or leaving the building or using your card or the guard pressing the buzzer didn’t happen. )
I really hope this helps. It's lengthy but I imagine it would be much simpler as a short cartoon.
prob not. Which is why you can have a few with you> @tuuliacandidosdsu551 said:
can we sharpen our pencil during the test?
Guys this is a text book example of valid argument form 9:
It clicked while I was halfway through struggling with this question
A ‑m→ C
A ‑m→ B (this is your answer)
-------------------
B ←s→ C
I would recommend you not sit.
Do at least 2-3 LGs per day.
Foolproof them. So you should be doing LGs at least 6-8 times most days
practice with sections, refer back to CC and most of all. Make sure you LOGIC and ADVANCED LOGIC are tight.
Advanced logic is one lesson a lot of people do not get to for some reason. It helps in LG and LR..A LOT!!
Hey im not in Alaska, but I can do some LG with you virtually or something if you wish
hey I had the same thing. The only thing that really helped me was OVEREXPOSURE. I did all games from 1-35 about 4 times each making sure to foolproof them. Theres a link somewhere here about that strategy. Now, I can finish just about every game. Even if im not sure how im going to proceed. I just start and things click
I attributed that attrition to the migration, which is so easily laid out for you to walk right into
Hi. Doesn't seem to be much online yet but it was emailed to August test takers. Here is a little more on it.

Do you have a link to the official announcement? This is huge for me. I much prefer pens and live on a very noisy city block. Definitely going to see how earplugs effect me.
For some reason I selected D but I realized that Fire pits would mean less lamps being used.
We will now allow test takers to use a regular or mechanical pencil, or a pen, while taking the LSAT-Flex. You will still need to show your writing utensil(s) to the proctor during the check-in period.
In addition, test takers may use soft, non-electronic, non-corded/banded, generic foam ear plugs, which will need to be shown to and approved by your LSAT-Flex proctor.
I like it!!
Yes "some not" negates to "All"
some is anything from 1-100 .... "SOME NOT" means nothing basically. so in layman's terms "None"
the logical opposite of NONE being ALL
check out the advanced logic lesson to clear it up :)
The problem I had with this was it said nowhere in the stimulus that it was the judge instructing the jury but I guess you can infer that from them taking visual cue from the judge. SIGH
I've seen this in some questions where you'd usually just make the Ignore a subscript of Trivial and then negate it or not negate it
Life is unfair> @leahfessler8694 said:
How is this not incredibly unfair to those of us who took test in June, May, etc and really wanted to cancel after seeing score but now can't?
I picked C because I was thinking, hit could be carried by trade. Oh well. Can't be practical on the LSAT
D seems like the. most logical answer because of the use of CITIES and North American CITIES
I was confused about this question because I was not sure whether to use the "any" or the "if" as the first sufficient indicator. This sort of issue usually stops me cold during a problem. Any one can #help me with this?
no one deserves a pat on the back
