Inquiry: Where Can One Find a List of LR Problems which Test Formal Logic?

[CharlesPasselius]

I finished this chapter of the LR Bible. I realize that the author says there aren't that many problems which test formal logic, so it isn't worth devoting too much time to and so on. However, the LR Bible only has 4 problems in the practice section. I do have enough time and I would like to spend a bit more time perfecting this part of the test, since I think it would be helpful both for the LR section and for certain LG problems that test these kind of inferences. Is there a list of LR problems that test formal logic anywhere? I searched around on the internet in general and this forum in particular. However, I could not find such a list. If no such list exists, what would you suggest I do to perfect my formal logic both for the LSAT and beyond?

For background, I did take a basic logic course in undergrad (modern logic) and I have worked through a book on classical/Aristotelian logic. However, I felt that I was not as strong as I would like to be in this particular area of logic. Thus, I am seeking some additional practice. Thanks in advance.

Hi Charles,

There isn't a full list, but I can write down a few for you. Generally, you can practice with the drills in the Logic Reasoning Bible. If you are looking for a compilation of questions from earlier tests this book has a chapter on formal logic that contains all the LR questions that contain formal logic in prep tests 1-20.

Some formal logic questions off the top of my head are:

PT 57, LR section 3, question 20
PT 60, LR section 1, question 21
PT 65, LR section 1, question 25

Mostly though, if you are at the point that you should be devoting time to formal logic, you are at the point that you should be doing practice tests and sections. And you will naturally see an appropriate number of formal logic questions while working those sections.

Hope that helps!

Thank you for your thorough and helpful response. I will make use of those resources.
