Mistaken negation, mistaken reversal, and Contrapositive log

[hihither]

Hi there,

I have so much trouble dealing with Mistaken negation, mistaken reversal, and Contrapositive logical reasoning type of questions. Is there more practice that I can find??

Thanks!

Hi Hihither,

Can you tell us what materials you already have so we can help direct you to more problems that feature these formations?

In the meantime, see my post at the end of this thread: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=1780

Thanks!

Hey Dave,

sorry for the late reply. I use the power score book from the prep course and I do also have the powerscore workbook as well

Hi Hihither!

These types of questions will be in any section dealing with Conditional Reasoning in our materials. In the coursebook, that's Lesson 2. If you have access to the Online Student Center, there are a bunch of practice Conditional Reasoning questions in the Lesson 2 supplements. You'll also find conditional reasoning questions mixed in the practice sets for Justify, Strengthen, Assumption, Flaw, Parallel, Parallel Flaw, Method, Cannot Be True, and some other question types. One of the skills you'll need to work on to master conditional reasoning is simply your ability to recognize when conditional reasoning is present. Any Logical Reasoning section (such as the ones in the workbook) will have questions that involve conditional reasoning. So take those sections being on the lookout for conditional reasoning. Then, in the explanations for the questions, look for the "SN" abbreviation to indicate that the question involved conditional reasoning. That way you'll be able to determine if you were able to catch all of the conditional statements or not.

Hope this helps!

Best,
Kelsey
