LSAT exam 2024
Sufficiency Indicators - If, when, whenever, all, any, each, every
Necessity Indicators - Then, only, only if, only when, needs, requires, must
Only (What to watch out for?) - Only if, and only does not always immediately
precede the necessary condition. FIND THE REFERENT of only
Replace with "If Not" - Unless, until, without, except
Logic Game (Flow chart) - 1) Read intro/ rules 2) Build set- up 3) symbolize rules 4)
CHECK RULES X2 5) Identify any randoms 6) Make deductions 7) Time for
scenarios 8) Attack the questions
Modality: Necessity - Must, Is/are, will, do/does, always
Modality: Probability - Probably, likely, usually
Modality: Possibility - May, might, could, can, occasionally
Quantification: Necessity - all, any, every (100%)
,LSAT exam 2024
Quantification: Probability - most, majority (>50%)
Quantification: Possibility - some, many, few, several (>0%)
Logical force: Strong - will, must, is, are, do, does, always, all, any, every, almost all
Logical force: Moderate - probably, likely, usually, most of the time, majority of the
time, most, majority
Logical force: Weak - may, might, can, could, often, sometimes, occasionally,
significant number, several, many, few,some
Must be True - Definitely proven true by the information in the stimulus (incorrect
answers could be false)
how to approach
- use only information present
- look for conditional statements
- pay close attention to the logical force of the propositions
, LSAT exam 2024
If conditional
-diagram
- anticipate valid inferences (transitive conclusions, contrapositives)
If there are no conditional statements
-look for other relationships between the statements
-anticipate a weak answer choice
Common incorrect answers
- invalid conditional inferences (converse/ inverse)
- statements too strong/ outside of scope
- causes or explanation of phenomenon discussed in stimulus
- hypotheses about the future or what would have happened if something
changed
~MBT - Very strongly supported by the information in the stimulus (doesn't
absolutely need to be true)
