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!
Both MSS and MBT questions ask us to evaluate inferences- what can be validly drawn for the stimulus, and are all valid inferences equally valid? This class will explore the significant similarities and differences between the two classes, with an emphasis on the tips and strategies best applied when you encounter a question of either type on the test.
The ability to understand the structure of an argument quickly and accurately is one of the most critical LSAT skills. This class will cover the concepts and strategies that will render even the most complex arguments simple as you work through a set of Main Conclusion and Argument Part questions.
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.
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!
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 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!
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.
Do you tend to start studying early in the day, or have other commitments that leave little time elsewhere for the LSAT? Start the day with other early studiers! This class will feature varied question types of varied difficulty.
Both Must be True and Must be False questions ask us to identify the truly certain: the AC that absolutely cannot be false or true, depending on the variant of this stem at hand. Learn to efficiently sort between the guaranteed implications of an argument and the lesser conclusions that don’t make quite make the cut!
