I just found this link, and on the off chance that no one has already posted it, I thought I should share it with all of you. It would be best used as a supplementary guide to any of your standard study materials for the LR section (PS, Manhattan, etc...). There is a good amount of information, with numerous examples, about argument types/fallacies/structure, and it is also pretty specific regarding necessary and sufficient conditions. Hope it helps!
