Highlights

In Logical Reasoning, we have to accept the author’s evidence as true no matter what. However, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take the time to consider them more deeply. In today’s class, getting a question right required narrowly reading a premise to reveal it didn’t guarantee the conclusion’s truth. Lastly, LSAT instructor extraordinaire Matt Dumont made a cameo to encourage students to sign up for LSAT Demon’s discord channel to connect with other students!

I enjoy the way Ryan pushes students to get down to the core of the argument. Listening to the way he guides students to make strong predictions before going into the questions helps me with my understanding.

Such a great instructor. Goes over questions slowly and methodically and in a way that makes sense to me. Incredibly friendly and tries to remember everyone's names. Genuinely look forward to Ryan's classes!

Ryan's diagnostic was a 150, but he always knew that he could push himself higher if he learned the test the right way. Ryan enjoys teaching logical reasoning and seeing students' confidence grow as they start predicting the right answer over, and over, and over again.
