In order to do well we have to master conditionals.
If do well then mastered conditionals
Or
If mastered conditionals then you did well
How do I know which way to set it up?

Damahco,
This is a good question. When you come across a sentence like this, it's a good idea to rephrase it in your head.
So "In order to do well on the LSAT, you have to master conditionals"
can be re-phrased
"if you're going to do well on the LSAT, you must master conditionals."
You'll notice that the meaning of the sentence has not changed--the relationship between doing well on the LSAT and mastering conditionals is preserved. We've just rephrased so that the "if, then" relationship is more clear.
Now we can diagram:
"If you're going to do well on the LSAT, you must master conditionals."
becomes:
Well --> MC
