LSAT FUNDAMENTALS: LOGIC

The LSAT tests two specific types of formal logical reasoning — conditional reasoning and syllogistic reasoning — and it tests them in a very particular way. Words like "if," "some," and "most" have technical meanings on the LSAT that are different from how you'd use them in conversation, and you need to be clear on how they're used on the test. This post builds the conceptual foundation: what these two reasoning types are and how they work as formal objects.
