Description

At some point during your LSAT preparation, you’ll probably wish that this test were already behind you.And why wouldn’t you? Preparing for the LSAT is a lot of work, the stakes are high, and—let’s face it—mostpeople don’t enjoy standardized tests as much as we teachers do. But the reality is that the test isn’t behindyou yet, and until that fine day when you never have to look at the LSAT again, it will behoove you toembrace it. Instead of thinking of the LSAT as a hurdle you have to jump over to get into law school, think ofit as part of your preparation for law school. There’s a reason that every single law school requires theirintelligent, educated applicants to take this exam: it tests a skill set that you need to perform well in lawschool, but that many otherwise qualified people didn’t learn in their undergraduate or professional lives.Think of your LSAT preparation as an opportunity to learn these critical reading and reasoning skills that willserve you well in law school and beyond.What is Conditional Reasoning and Why is it important for the LSAT?The Sufficient ConditionThe Necessary ConditionThe ContrapositiveDiagramming Conditional StatementsAdvanced Conditionals - And/Or / Unless / Only IfQuizzes for Understanding Included Throughout the Course
