The latest PowerScore LSAT Forum Post of the Day (found here), features one of our students who asked an interesting, and common, question about cause and effect relationships in LR.
PowerScore Senior Developer Jon Denning weighed in to explain in a bit more detail exactly what we mean when we tell students that “causal relationships on the LSAT exist in a vacuum”. This is a great example of not only how the information and scenarios you’ll face on the LSAT can differ from those in the real world. As you’ll see, it’s critical that you develop a deep understanding of exactly how the test makers think before test day!
Here’s a quick preview. Make sure to check out the full thread to read the entire explanation Jon provided to this student.
