General

Question 1

Propositions

Answer 1

• Basic unit of assertion
• claim or declaration
• it’s like “ what do you propose”
• typically expressed in a declarative sentence
• A sentence could contain a single logical proposition or A single sentence could contain multiple propositions
• is a statement in which anything whatsoever is affirmed or denied

Question 2

A stimuli that contains premises and conclusion is called?

Answer 2

An argument

Question 3

A stimuli that contains just premises or facts

Answer 3

Belongs to Implication family
Must be true -MBT
Soft must be true ~MBT
must be false - MBF

Question 4

If a stimuli contains Premises and conclusion a.k.a. an argument

Answer 4

It belongs to characterization family and the operation family

Question 5

Premise indicators

Answer 5

Premise indicators R
For GAMBIAS (given that, after all, because, in addition, as, since)

Question 6

Conclusion indicators

Answer 6

Conclusion indicators
R
(CATTIISH) Consequently, as a result, therefore, does, it follows that, it’s clear that, so, hence

Question 7

Assumptions

Answer 7

• claims that are never actually stated
• Assemptions must be true in order for conclusion to be true
• For conclusion to be inferred from premise many arguments require assumption

Question 8

Step by step approach to break down an argument

Answer 8

1. locate the confusion
2. Find the relevant premise(s)
3. Identify any assumptions in the argument

Question 9

Valid arguments

Answer 9

Logic is true (relationship between prepositions exists), conclusion follows logically, premises guarantee the truth of the conclusion
Valid argument is airtight, there is no space between premises and conclusion
Argument relies on zero assumption

Question 10

Invalid arguments

Answer 10

There is no relationship between the propositions
Logic is false And does not guarantee the truth of the conclusion
Conclusion does not follow logically
There is a space / gap between Premises and conclusion (assumptions fill in that space)
LSAT consist mostly of invalid arguments that require to be strengthen, weekend, or identify flaws or help the arguments

Question 11

Implication family

Answer 11

Determine what logically follows from (or implied by) the statements in the stimulus [up —> down]

Everything in the stimulus is excepted as true

Must be true
Soft must be true
Must be false

Question 12

Characterization family

Answer 12

Describe an aspect of the stimulus (Take it as it is)

Analyze the stimulus information [🤓]

(8-glasses) Main point, role, describe, Flaw, parallel, parallel flaw, disagree, agree

Question 13

Operation family

Answer 13

Perform a given action (operation) on the stimulus (do something to the stimulus) [down —> up]

Treat each answers choice as though it were true, The answer choice has the specified effect on the stimulus

Strengthen, weaken, Crux, sufficient, necessary, resolve, explain

Question 14

Logic games roadmap

Answer 14

Read, build, symbolize, double check, identify randoms, make deductions, scenarios, answer the question

Question 15

(Trick words) Some

Answer 15

At least one

Question 16

(Trick words) follows

*Especially in logical reasoning section

Answer 16

Comes after or results
Often on must be true questions, the conclusion that follows could be found by connecting conditional statements. Or, it’s the contrapositive of the original statement.

Question 17

(Trick words) At least

* Especially within logic game section

Answer 17

Means at that level or beyond

Minimum required

Question 18

(Trick words) Infer

Answer 18

Means to deduce or conclude (information) from evidence and reasoning rather than from explicit statements
Another way of asking to find confusion (usually) from connected conditional statements or contra positives.

Question 19

(Trick words) Undermines

Answer 19

Weakens

Question 20

(Trick words) The only

Answer 20

Indicate sufficient condition
Do not confuse with “only“ which means necessary condition
Remember sufficient —> necessary

Question 21

Qualifiers

Answer 21

All - everyone or everything (Negative - some are not) (sufficient)
most 
Some
some are not - at least one is not or possibly none are ( up to 0%) (non reversible)
Most are not
None
Perhaps 
Typically
Often
Somewhat

Question 22

Prompt

Answer 22

Different poses the question about the information in the stimulus

Question 23

 Stimulus

Answer 23

This is the argument section

The stimulus contains information that is designed to engage interest

Question 24

(Logic game) finished consecutively

Answer 24

Means front and back

This will be a block

Question 25

Conjunction (A and B)

Answer 25

Means both have to be together (in/out)

Not missing either

Question 26

Disjunction (A or B)

Answer 26

This means it could be both
