INTRODUCTION TO THE LSAT I. Introduction to the LSAT Welcome to the Law School Admissions Test AudioLearn. In this course, you will review everything you need to know to help you better approach the Law School Admissions Test, commonly known as the LSAT. The first two chapters provide an overview of the exam and include a discussion on what the LSAT assesses, the exam format, scoring, how to establish a study routine, and how to prepare for a successful test day. In addition, we will discuss how to register for the exam and how to leverage the available test resources. The third chapter focuses on logical reasoning, which represents fifty-percent of the overall exam. This chapter provides an introduction, a review of the section directions, and details the three components that make up a logical reasoning question: the stimulus, the question task, and the answer choices. Chapters four and five provide an in-depth foray into argumentation and formal logic, the building blocks of the exam. Premises and conclusions are discussed at length, as is the importance of paying attention to nuances in language and the ability to recognize counterpremises and draw inferences. The formal logic chapter focuses on the logic spectrum conditional reasoning, diagramming arguments, and finally, casual reasoning. Chapters six and seven close out the logical reasoning section with an in-depth review of the logical reasoning question types you will encounter on the exam and a review of the logic flaws you will need to identify.
