LSAT Logical Reasoning: The Argument-Type Playbook

LSAT Logical Reasoning: The Argument-Type Playbook

Turn Logical Reasoning into a skill you can hear, remember, and repeat. Each episode teaches one core method, applies it to original arguments, and shows you how to avoid common traps. Use it alongside your question bank to make every practice session stick. Brought to you by Jellypod.

  1. Episode 1

    Episode 1: How the LSAT Works Now, and Argument Anatomy

    Learn how the modern LSAT is structured now that Logic Games is gone, and why Logical Reasoning carries so much weight on the test. This episode breaks down the core argument pattern—conclusion, premises, and assumption—and shows how to spot the conclusion using the Why Test and key signal words.

  2. Episode 2

    Episode 2: Conditional Logic and the Contrapositive

    Learn how to spot sufficient vs. necessary conditions, decode trigger words like if and only if, and avoid the classic LSAT trap of reading an arrow backward. The episode also breaks down the contrapositive and the two common mistakes that make conditional reasoning go wrong.

  3. Episode 3

    Episode 3: The Assumption Family: Necessary vs Sufficient Assumptions

    Learn how to spot whether an LSAT assumption stem asks for something required to survive or enough to guarantee the conclusion. The episode breaks down the Negation Test for necessary assumptions, common negation mistakes, and how to build a sufficient assumption that closes the gap.

  4. Episode 4

    Episode 4: Strengthen and Weaken Questions

    Learn the one-skill framework behind Strengthen and Weaken questions by focusing on the argument gap, not the stated facts. This episode breaks down why tempting choices that attack the premises are wrong, and shows three reliable ways to weaken an argument without falling for LSAT traps.

  5. Episode 5

    Episode 5: Flaw Questions and the Flaw Taxonomy

    Learn a fast method for tackling Flaw questions by identifying the gap between premises and conclusion, prephrasing the error, and testing each answer choice against the argument itself. The episode also breaks down the biggest trap in LSAT reasoning: answers that sound right in the abstract but fail because they describe a flaw the author never actually made.

  6. Episode 6

    Episode 6: Causal Reasoning

    Learn how to spot when an LSAT argument jumps from correlation to causation, and why that leap hides a key assumption. This episode breaks down the three classic attacks on causal claims: alternative causes, reverse causation, and coincidence.

  7. Episode 7

    Episode 7: Inference: Must Be True and Most Strongly Supported

    This episode breaks down inference questions in logical reasoning, showing how to separate Must Be True from Most Strongly Supported. It also teaches a fast overreach test for spotting answers that go one step too far, especially when quantifiers like some, most, and all are in play.

  8. Episode 8

    Episode 8: Principle and Parallel Reasoning

    Learn how to strip away topic traps and identify the logical skeleton underneath arguments, with a focus on principle questions, parallel reasoning, and parallel flaw. The episode also drills conditional logic, necessary vs. sufficient conditions, and how to match arguments by structure instead of subject matter.
