Logical Indicators & Translating to Lawgic Practice

If you're just finishing the first logic lesson, and want to practice memorizing the logical indicators, and translating english into lawgic (or if you just want to practice either of those generally), I made a spreadsheet that does both that I thought I'd share if anyone's interested.
One tab has a list (that can be randomized on command) of all the logical indicators, and a field for you to type in what each introduces. It will tell you if you got it right, and has the option to display the correct answer if you get it wrong (or not). You can then randomize it and keep practicing.
The other tab has a 40 simple sentences to translate into lawgic (they're from pp. 257-258 of the Trainer; I didn't come up with them myself. If that somehow infringes a copyright or something somebody tell me and I won't share it). You input what you think the sentence means, and it will tell you if you get it right (accepts translation and contrapositive of translation*), again with the option to display the correct answer if you get it wrong.
I find it helps to actually write (albeit on the computer) out answers rather than using flashcards, and just repetitively practicing is helpful to drill out the need to think through this stuff. And you can get away with it at work, perhaps, because it's a fancy spreadsheet. I may have made it at work myself. And I have a weird love affair with Excel. So if you have Excel and would like study tool PM and I'll send it to you.
*I'm excessively proud of my Excel formulas to accomplish this, so if you're a fellow Excel nerd, please put me in my place.

If you want the spreadsheet. The demand for this thing has exceeded my willingness to send individual emails to everyone.

I would sincerely appreciate it

This is exactly the indicator I was referring to in our Wed BR call. Someone said few meant "some" but that is not the full story.
JY to the rescue.
Looks like the link is no longer active. Does any have a copy of this?
also looking for a copy. Grateful.
Does anyone still have it? Please let me know.
Does anyone have a copy of this spreadsheet? Would love to add this to my inventory of LSAT documents.
anyone can get this?
Can someone send this to me?
Still waiting on my score.. Anticipating that I'll have to retake with a -9 curve. Want to solidify my basic foundations.
I would really appreciate it if someone could send it to me as well. Thank you.
So I suppose no one got one of these since the link was removed? #help
Sorry, this was posted three years ago, so I don't think anyone active here now has a copy.
Also, #help is for comments in the lessons, so it doesn't mean much for the Forum.
