How to Improve at LSAT: Dissecting Arguments
In this lesson on the Logical Reasoning section of LSAT, we define the various ingredients of an argument, as well as extraneous ingredients meant to obscure the argument. We model the process by which we skeptically evaluate arguments, and we discuss a number of recurring reasoning patterns. Some of the lesson is aimed at improving automaticity with lower-level tasks, and some of the lesson is aimed at improving higher-level awareness of argument archetypes.

For 28:49 it didn't seem like the variables listed were said to contribute to ethnic consciousness? It seemed as if it just stated such as "patterns of bilin..." then said AND the variations in ethnic consciousness. It didn't appear as if the previously listed stated variables were said to contribute to ethnic consciousness. Is there something I'm not seeing, so far inference questions seem to be the brick wall I'm running into :( I love the lessons though, they're incredibly informative and helpful.
How is D for the last question negation. To me it seems to be reversal and negation.
On 15:50 answer choice A says ".... are influential thinkers". How can we derive the sentence "central to this type of critique..." to imply "influential thinkers. That part didn't click on me, is there any way to simplify the statement? I see how the rest of the sentences connect to answer choice A but i's the "influential thinkers" portion that messed me up.
What if conditional statements don’t link. What do u do then?
I hate these questions. They have cause me so many breakdowns. I’ve watched and read everything and done so many practice questions and test and still don’t understand it. Does that mean I just can’t understand them ever? I’m losing hope.
I love how much you hate consultants
26:41 There is the term " beneficial native plant" that made me hesitate to pick C. We have beneficial fungi, but no " beneficial native plants." I picked D as a result of this term switch. Of course "all types" is too strong but the alternative is a term that does not exist in the passage. Any suggestions? Thanks! What a wonderful video this is!!
These videos are sooo helpful its crazy how much information I've retained due to the humor and simplicity of the information provided!
2024 and this video was still very helpful! Made learning the steps enjoyable as well, considering I've been dreading studying RC.
this series is gold. thank you so much
Anyone else here for the MCAT 👀👀
I got one wrong but that’s cuss my reading comp sucks but I mean I just need more practice lol
Hi! Just a quick question. Is main conclusion the same as main point?
THANK U SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!
Many thanks for this video
Extremely great video!
Everyone is so hyped up about the power score books. What they should be hyped up about are these free courses that teach more about logical reasoning than any book.
One question, when I was doing the last passage of this video, I put New Vs. Old as my framework. Why would this framework be considered incorrect? Thank you. Great video by the way.
8:01
For #5, "Unless you apologize, I'm going to quit the game" I initially answered: - If quit --> NO Apology - If Apology --> NO quit I see how the first one doesn't work, because the person could still quit in another situation, therefore "No Apology" is not REQUIRED for quitting. But the contrapositive, which translates to, "If you apologize then I don't quit," is something I'm snagging on. Is it because not quitting is not necessary for an apology? Thank you!
could number 8 also be written as: - If BS and NOT M --> Cool - If NOT Cool --> NOT BS or M or is it better if breath strips and mints are kept as a single entity in the exercise?
I’m not even taking the LSAT but this video has been so helpful for me improving in CARS for the MCAT
Thank you for discussing the heuristics you use to tackle these kinds of questions. These questions I find easily the most time-consuming in LR. Every shortcut is helpful!
My favorite lsat videos are LSAT Lab videos and I've paid for courses.. Patrick you are heaven sent. Thank you.
Did I just get called a sugar booger?
If ANC A read " If politicians were less isolated from their electorate then there is a chance that any particular acts of resident participation will elicit a positive response" ; then would it be an ANC supported by the given facts?
Thank you sm it's just amazing way
12:54, got tricked by D. With all due respect, the 2nd sentence can absolutely be said to form a hypothesis. Saying “This indicates that X depends on Y;” while referring to premises made in an argument falls under the category of “presenting a hypothesis.” What threw me off is the health aspect. It seems as though the hypothesis says “Therefore, the better off/more successful/healthier everything else is, the healthier/heavier the newborn.” If common knowledge were to play a role here, his would make it more specific than A! However, the stimulus never establishes attributes lush food to a healthy ecosystem, nor does it link heaviness in a baby to its overall heath. The 2 are completely independent phenomena of each other.
18:27 v well explained!
It is visible in the rules that k can not be 5 it has h and j after itself and the films are six.
This video is a great study aid for the LSAT.
Using this to study for the MCAT😭😂
lmao same came here from Reddit
ssameeee
14:30 how they both can be out ?
2007, S2, Q6: answer choice A is not a negation. Question stem gives us executive board -> undergraduate + no felony. This is because felony -> no board, so the contrapositive combined with the first condition gives us that. Option A specialises this condition to board -> masters + no felony. This is because eligibility conditions are necessary conditions. Ie it’s not no felony -> board as shown in the visual but rather board -> no felony. Eligibility does not imply board membership. It simply means this condition must be present for the board members. Of course it could also be that there are multiple alternative eligibility criteria in which case it is not even a necessary condition but regardless it’s not a sufficient condition, and so not a negation.
In fact, the argument for why option B is correct, interprets the word eligible as leading to a necessary condition.
(1) K or L -> M. (2) NOT K -> L. Taking the contra positive of 1, NOT M -> NOT K AND NOT L. But NOT K -> L (as given in 2). Contradiction in the setup?
Great observation! It's not quite a contradiction, but there is the potential FOR a contradiction. If M were out, a contradiction would ensue. So one of the things you can infer from those three rules is that M must be in. (I'm using in/out as a proxy for yes/no, but same difference) Another way to think of the same thing is that the last rule looks like this: ~ K --> L ~L --> K That guarantees that at least one of L and K is in. They can't both be out, because either one being out would force the other one in. So since we know that at least one of L and K is in, we know that the trigger of the first rule is going to happen no matter what, and thus we know that M will be IN no matter what.
Yep. That makes sense. Thanks!
Question #2 did not make sense to me at all.
Assumption with evidence, function and inference👍
The only thing left is repitition
Thank you so much
This entire playlist during test week and gave me so much relative information for test. I feel even more confident in my approach for the test day! These videos are amazing and very informative. THANK YOU!!!!
How’d you do?! I signed up for a subscription on the website. Testing in September
@@alysedianecani had a seven point increase.
@@lamarcuusbuckner7156 that’s awesome.
Thank you so much for this. It cleared up so many things!
Great job.
I can not say enough how helpful you guys at LSAT Lab have been for my studying for the LSAT! Genuinely great videos all around. Thank you guys so much!
Where does he explain that B is wrong?
This video doesn't attempt to teach that question you're referring to. It's just to show people an example of an LR question, so that we can name the parts like Stimulus, Stem, Answers. It gets brought back later to make a quick point about how understanding conditional logic relationships can be crucial to differentiating between two answers that are otherwise saying the same thing. but fwiw, here's why (B) is wrong. we're told that selling noncoffee products would lead to decreased profitability. we're also told that if coffee sales decrease it would lead to decreased profitability. But that doesn't mean those are the only two things that lead to decreased profitability. I could tell you: Jumping off a tall building will kill you. Drinking lots of poison will kill you. That doesn't mean those two are the only things that kill you. So I can't logically derive a claim like "If you died, then either you jumped off a tall building or you drank lots of poison". Similarly, it's possible that profitability decreases, not because they started selling noncoffee products or because coffee sales went down but for some other reason: for example maybe expenses went up. Maybe it costs them much more to buy beans or pay rent or meet payroll. Any increase in expenses could decrease profitability.
@@LSATLab I see, that makes sense now. Thank you for writing that all out, and replying to a comment on a 4 year old YT video. Makes me want to try your service.
The best!
very good! Clearly stated the point of each question
I am wholeheartedly depending on you to save my LSAT score
Very useful and entertaining video! You know you found something awesome when you walk away laughing and more prepared to take on LSAT RC
THIS VIDEO IS SO UNDERRATED!!! This is the best video that I have ever seen for reading comprehension. I am studying for MCAT and CARS is killing me but this video is literally gold and I am so happy that I found this before my exam. Thank you so much!!!!!!
Congratulations @myatsan3694! How are you doing now in CARS?
