Highlights

We began with open Q&A. Ben discussed if-then statements and the LSAT’s most common flaw: confusing sufficient and necessary conditions. He also shared advice on study schedules and avoiding burnout.

The Fossils passage read like a Paradox but turned out to be an unusual form of a Strengthen question. The Decision Makers question was the most challenging for the class. We discussed why Supported questions are just Must Be True questions with a little bit of give—and why weakly worded answers are generally easier to prove true. Ben also explained that Flaw questions are Must Be True questions first.

After class, Ben answered general questions, including how to balance live LSAT classes with self-study, how to adjust difficulty settings for drilling, and why you should take practice tests in LSAT Demon rather than in LawHub.
