LSAT - Logical Reasoning Study Review Exam.
1. Premise A fact, proposition or statement from which a conclusion is made
2. Conclusion A statement or judgment that follows from one or more reasons.
3. Conditional
Rea- soning A conditional statement is, in its most easily recognized form, an "if...then..."
statement. The following is, for example, a conditional statement.
Conditional statements are also described in terms of suflcient and
necessary conditions.
4. Sufficient An event or circumstance whose occurrence indicates that a necessary
condition must also occur.
5. Necessary An event or circumstance whose occurrence is required in order for a
suflcient condition to occur.
6. Explain
Sufficient If a suflcient condition occurs, you automatically know that the necessary
Necessary condition also occurs. If a necessary condition occurs, then it is possible
that the suflcient condition will occur, but not certain.
7. Example of
Suffi- cient Banging my shin on the table is all that is needed for me to scream in
Necessary pain (i.e. it is suflcient), so banging my shin is considered the suflcient
condition. I cannot bang my shin on the table without screaming in pain
(screaming necessarily follows the banging of my shin), so screaming in
pain is the necessary condition. You should be fine if you can simply
remember that the antecedent (the phrase following the "if") is the
suflcient condition for the consequent (the phrase following the "then")
and the consequent is the necessary condition for the antecedent.
