Download your free LSAT cheat sheet: https://www.unpluggedprep.com/yt/conditional/cheatsheet Most people miss LSAT conditional logic the same way. They read "only if" like "if," flip the arrow, and pick the answer that states the rule backwards. The test builds wrong answers around that exact mistake, over and over. Part 1 is the basics. Sufficient vs necessary conditions, the indicator words for each side, the contrapositive, and the 2 traps that look like it (reversals and negations). Part 2 is a practice round from one of my live classes, where I work through conditional logic questions out loud: only if, unless, "the only," exactly, if and only if, chains, and the flaws built on them (most to all, one case to all, past to future). Pause on each question and pick your answer before I explain it.

They read it next to your polished essays, and it's the only page they know you wrote alone with no editing. If the two don't sound like the same person, that's a red flag. In this lesson I'll show you what the argumentative prompt asks, why you pick a side and stick with it, and the plan I teach for any prompt. Choose your side fast, outline, map each source to a point, then write each paragraph, counterargument and rebuttal included. Honestly, it's not a creative project. 00:00 Why law schools read your LSAT writing sample 05:21 What the LSAT writing prompt asks of you 07:27 Pick a side and stick with it 12:11 How to plan your LSAT argumentative essay 18:05 How to write each paragraph I scored a 152 my first LSAT. Got to a 175. I've been teaching this test since 2005. If you're prelaw, applying now, or stuck, you're in the right place. π― Free LSAT tutoring lesson: https://unpluggedprep.com/yt/trxEyuNRw-4/lesson π LSAT Unplugged courses and coaching: https://lsatunplugged.com

Free LSAT cheat sheet: https://www.unpluggedprep.com/cheatsheet/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=final-week-epic The November LSAT starts November 11. Do your writing sample first: it opens about 8 days before the test, and LSAC won't release your score without it. This is your last week, day by day, through test morning at the test center: your last practice tests, review, sleep and nerves, check-in and the break, pacing, the experimental section, and the hours after. Find your chapter below, or let it run.
