Conditionality vs. Causality: Similarities and Differences

Did you know that conditional reasoning and causal reasoning can be found in over 30% of Logical Reasoning stimuli on the average LSAT? That’s right; they’re two of the most frequently tested, and most frequently misinterpreted, reasoning techniques on the test!

In today’s LSAT Forum Post of the Day, PowerScore Senior Developer Jon Denning advises a student on exactly how to differentiate between these two concepts. In addition, he outlines why it’s so critical that both be well understood.

Here’s a quick preview. Make sure to check out the full thread to read the entire explanation Jon provided to this student:

The Forum posts selected for this series are chosen because they have a universal quality to them.
