If *everyone* took the LSAT...

Not everyone takes the LSAT, but I often imagine what it'd be like if it was required for every human being in the world. People would be a lot more logical... and I'd be famous!!! The fancy restaurants, press appearances, and of course the sweet rides. So, today, I’m inviting you to step into my fantasy world where I’m a global celebrity and (also learn about sufficient and necessary conditions). The "Sufficient" Condition is often introduced by words such as "if," "when," and "whenever." Something that's sufficient is enough to get the job done. However, without more info, we can't assume that it's a requirement (necessary). It might help to think of the sufficient condition as "activating" the necessary condition. The "Necessary" Condition is often introduced by words such as "then," "must," and "required." Something that's necessary has to happen in order for the "sufficient condition" to occur. However, without more info, we can't assume that it's the only thing that has to happen in order to know that the sufficient condition also happened (or will happen). So let’s say, as an incredibly famous person, that I have my own limo and personal driver/bodyguard.

I think to myself: ”If I take a limo, I'll get where I want to go." A limo would be sufficient to get me wherever I want to go. However, I don't need fancy forms of transportation. There are other ways to get to where I need to go - I could take my personal helicopter, private jet or drive my underwater spy car. Here’s a few more examples: Un-friending on Facebook "If we break up, I'll un-friend him/her on Facebook." Breaking up might be sufficient to un-friend a significant other, but breaking up isn't required (necessary) to un-friend him/her. You might un-friend him/her in the middle of a fight without actually breaking up. Becoming President "If you have a reasonable chance of becoming President of the United States, then you must be affiliated with one of the two major political parties." However, being affiliated with the Democrats or Republicans is not enough to become President. You also need to win your party's nomination and, eventually, the Electoral College. Now that you have a basic understanding of Sufficient vs. Necessary, check out this article I wrote highlighting the words you need to look for that indicate sufficient/necessary conditions.
