Walking into the LSAT without learning formal reasoning is like walking into a used car lot without knowing anything about cars. You need to know the common flaws or you won't be able to spot them.
Note that some of these logical error types won't appear on the LSAT, but learning how to think logically and pull out assumptions will help you get a higher score and help you on the AWA analysis of argument section.
You don't have to perfectly memorize every logical fallacy with its formal Latin name, but you do need to get a general idea about what fallacies are and change the way you think so that it's easier to spot them.
