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.
Questions of the resolve, reconcile, and explain type ask us to understand the logical gap between elements of the stimulus- and what’s required to bridge it. This class will explore the strategies best applied to RRE 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.
Macro-level strategies are a critical yet often neglected set of LSAT skills. When engaging with the test, you should always have a plan! How often should you skip, and how should you be deciding which questions to come back to later? What do you do when you don't understand a stimulus, or find yourself evenly torn between two attractive answers? Join instructor Rahela Sami for an exploration of the bigger-picture techniques that will keep you moving with purpose throughout a section.
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.
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.
