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.
Do you find yourself running out of time when completing an LR section? Even getting a question correct can be costly if it takes extra time that should've gone to other questions. This class moves at a faster pace, with an emphasis on strong timing habits and strategies. You'll have a chance to nominate questions to cover, so make sure to have a list handy!
Looking to cover logical reasoning questions as well as timing strategies? If so, this is the class for you! Each week, we will review a subset of questions from a particular LR section.
Macro-level strategies are a critical yet often neglected set of LSAT skills. When engaging with the test, you should always have a plan! This class focuses on the broader strategies to rely on for individual LR question types. Learn to quickly switch approaches throughout a section with confidence as different question types come up, and how to efficiently spot questions that present an exception to the usual case.
Being able to quickly identify the assumptions an argument's author makes is one of the most vital LSAT skills. Which are critical to the argument, and which are unimportant? Are they always invalid? This class will explore the space between the lines, home to assumptions of every kind.
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.
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.
With a double portion of LR guaranteed every test, the Logical Reasoning section is more important than ever! Mondays through Wednesdays will feature questions of average difficulty, while Thursdays and Fridays will feature the most challenging questions the test has to offer.
Drilling is one of the most important elements of your study plan, but drilling effectively isn’t always intuitive. This class will focus on fast drills that help bolster good timing habits, with a chance to discuss in between.
