Btw, for anyone that is still in the foundational work, I highly recommend doing a drill of 10-15 questions every-day you study prior to your study plan!
You can choose specific types of questions for LR and it's a great way to warm your brain up lol. Make sure to do them UNTIMED and properly look over each question you got wrong. Quality > quantity! Take as much time to actually understand the question!
I answered the questions correctly under the target time, and I think it's because of my light drilling.
@tst19 I had that inclination! I only have 2 months to study total and I feel the learning is important and understanding a base knowledge of the sentence structures, but when I do the questions and timing i'm still struggling. I'm going to start implementing this, thanks!!!
I got all three wrong I am having so much trouble. I feel like im over thinking but also not paying close enough detail bc im narrowing it down but picking the wrong one
Some people are worried about timing, but timing doesn't matter yet until you can get all the questions right. This is just the foundational section, timing will come with more practice and exposure found in later sections.
I got 3/3 but I took like an insane amount of time. This is quite worrysome that im taking exceptionally long.

@JonSnowTakestheLSAT I think we will get faster as we go, we have only done a few "real" LSAT questions. I also took a long time. It'll be fine with practice.
@[Deleted] That's what everyone keeps saying and that's what I keep trying to convince myself. But does it really work that way? Just keep practicing and you magically get faster? The time crunch is what crushes me and my confidence. I feel like I'm not fast enough and therefore, I blow the whole thing. :/
@CrispyOats Hi, This is me after 2 months of the original comment, Yes you definitely get faster and much much faster than before. Trust me, Just keep drilling and you'll be fine.
i got 0/3.. i don't understand why this is so difficult for me. i feel like i understand and i get all of the practice but when it comes to do the questions i get them all wrong..
@RubiOrellana i was just struggling with this after spending over 5 mins on each question and being so confident in my answers, just for them to be wrong. i realized that the Lawgic method helps conceptualize the information, but when i have to reformat them in my head, i do much better visually. i just started using the circle graphs again and everything clicked once i took the time to slowly make them accurate. each wrong answer simply did not have membership in a certain subset. for me, that created bulletproof answer processing. maybe you just need to play around with the different methods and fit it to how your brain works. i hope this helps!
@mg123 keep going twin im getting cooked too but remember to slow down and apply these methods when your stuck. It's just the fundamentals im sure it will start sticking eventually.
@mg123 yeah man keep going, it clicks for everyone at different times and the "clicking" itself happens at different levels, just keep studying and don't stop until you find what your brain needs
Got all 3 incorrect on my first try and I don’t even want to mention the time limit. I don’t know what happens when I see questions like these. I freeze. I over analyze.. “does physical danger or threatening refer to psychological, social, etc…” I end up wasting so much time on things that don’t matter (according to the breakdown). I’m going to try again tomorrow, because this is exactly what trips me up.
That was tough. I mapped out the relationships correctly for all questions, something about translating it back to normal english is where I get confused and choose the wrong answer.
@SeanWolfe I'm still new to these strategies as well, but I'm starting to develop a strategy.
After I read the question and skim the stimulus I assess if it's something I can figure out with intuition, or if I need to diagram it out.
For the first question, I lost track of what I was reading, so I stopped and diagramed. On question 3, I was able to figure it out without writing anything down.
Sometimes diagramming is necessary, but the goal is to understand what the question is actually saying and fall back on the lawgic translation when dealing with really complex or abstract ideas.

@tst19 Thank you for this!

i stared at 1 for 20 minutes and still got it wrong
@laurpie i just cracked up lmao thats so me
0/3 chat is it so over for me. I break these down and I feel so stupid for not getting it right.
these messed e up 0/3 lol
@AliGoldberg Glad I'm not the only one
3/3 correct, but I'm still wayyy over time. Repetition repetition repetition
Stay on your grind. You're going to be a lawyer one day
Well, that was rough...
1/3 right and poor timing
I got all three wrong I am having so much trouble. I feel like im over thinking but also not paying close enough detail bc im narrowing it down but picking the wrong one
I don't understand how its possible to do these questions so fast.
@BenjaminMcDaniel bruh yeah, I got the first question right but it took almost 6 minutes

0/3 i realize that i am not that great at diagramming :c
2/3! Even though I got one wrong, I totally understand where I messed up. The video explanations are unmatched!
0/3 currently wanting to cry in a dark room
@AidenG123 What matters is review! Do the problems make sense after you review the explanations?
@AidenG123
same here too
Same here @AidenG123

1/3 and I'm getting really discouraged :(

@Jashannnnnnn Thank u bro
@mg123 yeah man keep going, it clicks for everyone at different times and the "clicking" itself happens at different levels, just keep studying and don't stop until you find what your brain needs
@mg123 dont give up
@mg123 trust your gut and keep pushing!

2/3. The Monster question got me
@MRod Does anyone know what our times should be now? The monster one had me on that problem for 8 mins LOL
@MRod same i took 8 mins and i still got it wrong
@MRod same. I thought it was Threatening -> Horrific and that messed me up. I can't wrap my head around why it's the other way around
3/3 but the first question took 12 full minutes lmao
@AlexAdkins-Langen literally same and I was shocked i got it right

Once again, I got the hardest question right but the last two easier ones got me stumped. I guess I'm in the minority, based on the comments.
I got only the last one right :(
