Lessons · Bi-Conditionals

In my opinion the best way to explain/understand a bi-conditional claim is how it is taught in Math. It is taught as an 'iff' claim aka. an if and only if claim.

All an iff claim means is that each element implies the other:

Iff A then B, means: A --> B, and B --> A.

It is helpful to differentiate an iff claim from a regular conditional because of LSAT questions as so:

an animal is a zebra if and only if it has white and black stripes. (our biconditional claim in an argument on the LSAT)

Jerry is an animal that has black and white stripes. (an assertion made as part of the argument)

What inference can you make? (LR question on LSAT)

That Jerry is a zebra. (Answer derived by understanding that it is an iff claim, so both elements imply each other)

Study Group for LSAT/Applying in fall 2025 cycle

Hi friends!

I sat the LSAT three times in 2024 (August, September, and November) and got a 163 each time. It wasn't my goal score, however I applied to law schools in the fall 2024 cycle anyways and I did not get accepted.

I am planning to resit the LSAT this September, and aim for a score in the 170's. I will apply to law schools in the upcoming cycle as well.

I was wondering if anybody is in a similar boat and would like to study together, or even just exchange numbers so we can support each other while we collectively suffer through the LSAT and admissions cycle. I have been scoring an average of 168 in my PT and 172 after BR. I am really hoping by September I can score in the high 170's. My GPA in my undergrad was not great, so excelling in the LSAT is really my best chance of getting into a good law school.

It is so interesting to see conditional logic explained this way! I majored in Math and we were taught set and conditional logic in one of our core math courses (MATH 220: Mathematical Proofs). While it was taught in a slightly different way, it seamlessly applies to the LSAT.
