If you’re just beginning your learning try not to torture yourself too much on mastering this yet perhaps. It will come. Do your best with something in your head and go to the answer choices and focus on the conclusion or to weaken anti conclusion
I am thinking this lesson may be referring to negating or denying a conditional. Whereby the sufficient exists AND one instance of the necessary does not.
Without seeing the prompt, Sounds like the purpose of getting this question is to recognize the sufficient necessary flaw here. Is there an answer choice that addresses that?
Flexibility is required on the lsat. If in conditional statements particular indicators are throwing you, simply put the conditional statement into a basic “if”, “then” form with the first half the if (sufficient) and the second half the “then (nece…
Agree with above, don’t be incessant about it. Do try to comprehend what you read foremost. But there can be tricky trap answer choices and so sometimes, at least writing something down or trying to map it out can get you to the correct one!
I understand. It sounds like you may be on the precipice of a breakthrough. Try focusing on the conclusion if nothing else, and ask " how can I argue against this". It is important to remember you do not have to prove the conclusion, but just weaken…
Agree with @"Matt Sorr" wholeheartedly. I struggled recognizing them also, but am much more familiar so it can be done. You could also search in discussion for comments on the topic.
The number one way to weaken on the LSAT is by an alternate explanation answer choice, or so I’ve been told. Look for strong answers and as above shouldn’t have to make assumptions.
Based on the facts (stimulus), what can be supported? The answer choice does not have to be strong nor a totality of the stimulus, but maybe just a small part. Perhaps pay attention to the first and last sentences (if more than two).
I almost always function with what comes after the until/without as necessary condition and negate the other part. However sometimes it just makes more sense to do it the other way around. We want to remain flexible.
This is a strengthen question with causal reasoning. So find an answer choice that shores up the relationship between the cause and the effect--look for another example of the same cause and effect perhaps?
Hi there’s a flash card drill in the syllabus on recognizing questions stems. Highly recommend.
