Sufficient and necessary conditions are some of the most common logical elements encountered in logical reasoning. Easily confused with each other and often unintuitive, they can make for some truly hard SA and NA questions! This class will cover the concepts and strategies that are essential for effectively navigating both question types.
One of the most atypical question types, Point at Issue questions ask us to pinpoint where two arguments differ or align without getting distracted by other elements in the split stimulus. Learn how should your approach differ when there are two arguments to consider, and how to avoid the red herrings this question type often features!
A significant portion of a typical LR section is made up of Weaken, Strengthen, and Evaluate questions. These three closely-related question types all ask us: what would tip the scales for an argument? Sharpen your skills while exploring the important similarities and differences between them!
The closely related Parallel Reasoning and Parallel Flaw question types are often regarded as the most difficult and time consuming of the LR types. They don't have to be! This class will cover key concepts and strategies that will help you navigate parallel reasoning with accuracy and confidence.
A question type often rife with abstract and referential language, Method of Reasoning questions test your ability to accurately and efficiently understand the structure of an argument. This class will cover the essential strategies to look to when you see a Method question!
Being able to quickly identify flaws in an argument is one of the most critical skills needed for a wide variety of LR question types. Hone your flaw-spotting ability by working through Flaw questions of varying difficulty!
Sufficient and necessary conditions are some of the most common logical elements encountered in logical reasoning. Easily confused with each other and often unintuitive, they can make for some truly hard SA and NA questions! This class will cover the concepts and strategies that are essential for effectively navigating both question types.
Split into PSAr (find the rule) and PSAa (application) questions, these cousins of Sufficient Assumption questions tend to be less straightforward- and thus more difficult! This class will cover the concepts and strategies that are essential for effectively navigating both variants of this question type.
A variant of most strongly supported and pseudo-sufficient assumption (find the rule) questions, principle questions ask us to identify a statement that underlies or coheres with the argument presented in the stimulus. Learn to effectively differentiate between irrelevant or contradictory options and the close matches this question subtype demands!
