LSAT PodCast Episode 11: Necessary Assumption Questions

LSAT Podcast with Dave Killoran and Jon Denning

Episode 11 centers on one the LSAT’s toughest LR question types: Necessary Assumptions. In this episode, Jon and Dave break down how these problems operate, describe what makes them unique (and how to keep them separate from Sufficient Assumptions, which are covered next week!), and provide several powerful strategies for solving any Assumption question, whether Supporter or Defender. If you struggle with this tricky concept you won’t want to miss this episode!

    Thanks and I will re-read the chapter on Assumption and practice the problems with a fresher perspective. The lecture confirmed my suspicions ideally, and for that I appreciate. Of course, Mr. Dave witty and informative and Mr. Jon I also appreciate the analogy you gave that nailed it home very thoroughly. Also, I wanted to say that in spite of all the trials and tribulations this famous golfer faced, for me being : part Native American ,Irish and West Indian Black, Mr. Tiger Woods, will always be the greatest golf pro in the world and my inspiration. Mr. Woods posessed the cunning, the golf IQ, the pure natural skill that he devastated his opponents to the point that his opponents ate his dust and thoroughly confounded, hence. I appreciate all your help. Good day. I am having trouble with my WI-FI while sending the first comment however, if you did received and if this is a second repeat message please ignore, apologies, and thank you.

      Gotta love Tiger’s Masters win all the more then! I know I certainly did. One of the most riveting and inspirational sports moments of my lifetime, to be sure.
