Conditional Reasoning

Martin. T

HI everyone,

I have been struggling to correctly answer sample logical reasoning/weakening the argument type questions. Unfortunately, I am repeatedly selecting the most attractive wrong answer choices for each of the questions. My LSAT preparation material is advising me to use conditional reasoning techniques to identify the correct answer choices. So I am wondering if anyone can tell me whether using necessary condition and sufficient condition strategies works with finding the correct answer to logical reasoning/weakening the argument type questions.

For some it does, especially SA MBT and Flaw questions, but for weakening questions the biggest thing is to weaken the support of the argument. This is done by casting doubt on the conclusion based on the premises.

Great, thank you for clearing up the confusion.
