Highlights
We unpacked the LSAT’s most common flaw: confusing necessary and sufficient conditions (not to be confused with necessary and sufficient assumptions). We talked about why the easiest way to crack if-then statements is to make them make sense on a commonsense, intuitive level rather than trying to use abstract, formal logic.
In passing, we discussed how to predict Parallel Reasoning questions with a red flag vs. dealbreaker mindset, why you should stop diagramming in LR immediately, and which LR tips made the biggest difference for me when I was studying for the test.
