Download the Conditional Logic and Quantifier Guide

The Conditional Logic and Quantifier Guide is a free 16-page LSAT Logical Reasoning study guide by Germaine Washington (180 scorer) covering sufficient and necessary condition indicators, contrapositives, quantifier hierarchies, valid deduction chains, De Morgan's negation laws, unless translations, and classic conditional flaws. Published .

What Does the Conditional Logic and Quantifier Guide Cover?

Conditional reasoning and quantifier scope govern LSAT Inference, Must Be True, Sufficient Assumption, Necessary Assumption, Principle, Parallel Reasoning, and Flaw questions. This 16-page reference manual organizes every rule and diagramming pattern in one place.

1. Conditional Relationships, Indicators, and the Contrapositive (Pages 1 to 2)

Learn how sufficient indicators (if, when, whenever, every, all, any, people who) introduce the trigger condition and how necessary indicators (only if, then, must, requires, depends on, essential) mark what must follow, along with contrapositive reversal and negation.

2. Quantifiers and Valid Inference Chains (Pages 3 to 7)

Master the quantifier hierarchy (all, most, some, none), reversible existential overlap (some A are B equals some B are A), the all-to-all deduction chain, the most-to-all chain, the some-to-all chain, and majority overlap within a single group.

3. Compound Statements, De Morgan's Negation, and Unless (Pages 8 to 12)

Translate conjunctions (and), inclusive disjunctions (or), negations of compound conditions, logical minimums and maximums, biconditionals (if and only if), and the unless / until / except / without family of rules.

4. Conditional Flaws and the Most Error (Pages 13 to 16)

Spot illegal reversals (mistaking a necessary condition for a sufficient condition), illegal negations (mistaking a sufficient condition for a necessary condition), and quantifier scope shifts between most and all.
