I am starting my LSAT prep and was watching your old playlist, so happy to see that there is an updated version since I will be taking the version post-August-2023! Thank you for thinking of us youtube learners :D

[@danielmeyer51]

I really appreciate you sharing this knowledge to prepare us. Very thankful!

[@lauren1675]

Starting my LSAT studying. Thank you so much for this series!

[@THEHOURISRIPE]

This was so good. I really love how you simplified the explanation of the complex language. Simple, but did wonders for me moving forward. This lesson as whole also increased my confidence for drill sets and practice tests. Even though theres still room for improvement. I feel like I know what I am doing which is half the battle. lol

Great content!: 28:38 has error where the left column should have the header as conclusion signals. Maybe even a third column should be included where they overlap ;). Thank you for the videos!

The “only” statements u keep Changing the order of the if then statements. Makes it super confusing

Godsend. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you for the lesson! But would you please tell me what book I have to buy for homework?

[@sylwiacavalcant8800]

Great video. Thank you. I think there is a mistake in Practice Set #1. Only those who have registered can attend. The if-then statement should be: "If X is registered, then X can attend."

[@anirbanmukherjee5240]

Only X can Y means X is necessary for Y. However, it does not mean X is sufficient for Y. For instance, only those who are on Earth are in the US. That does not mean anyone on Earth is in the US. It means ~Earth --> ~US (those who are not on Earth are not in the US) and US --> Earth (those who are in the US are on Earth). The word "only" is very important. It can make a sufficient condition into a necessary condition. Only if is similar in that whereas if implies a sufficient condition (trigger), only if implies a necessary condition (the condition that must be true if the trigger is true).

Does the wording in the if then have to be written exactly as shown? What if it's written a bit different but the symbolic is correct?

[@crispfriars]

Did bro just say no logic games???

[@maryanngambrah1963]

Yeah they removed them from the LSAT so moving forward it's just logical reasoning and reading comprehension and then the writing piece that you get either before you take the LSAT or after.
