Just wanted to hear how the august re-testers feel about the test!

I had 2 LR and found the 1st was much easier so hopefully that one is the real one

I found RC to be very challenging and the last logic game was very confusing

Normally I only get around 1-2 LG wrong but that last question probably bumped that up to about 4-5

Any one else feel the same?

During the problem set, this game really stumped me, because it doesn't use any typical gameboard setup and I had a really hard time finding an effective way to successfully visualize and toggle all the variables. JY's explanation (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-31-section-1-game-4/) had an okay game setup, but I still didn't like how it didn't represent the 2 vs 3-day possibilities or the distribution of the tasks over the days.

While I did only mediocre during my timed take of this game, during blind review I went back to the beginning and brainstormed ways to set up the board to fully and effectively represent all the variables, and I came up with this: (not sure the imgur embed is working so pls copy and paste this link into your browser) www.imgur.com/a/DKBdjxB https://imgur.com/a/DKBdjxB

This setup accounts for all possible gameboards (since the boards are determined by the Day and Task divisions) and there are only 5 (I realized the 5th possibility after I made the imgur link and cant be bothered to do it again, but it's a Day 1: FWT, Day 2: S, Day 3: P gameboard). I wrote the possible Crew Members next to each task in subscript, and kept rule 3b (Max 1 task/CM/Day) HEAVILY in mind. With this visualization of the game, the questions don't take much time at all!

For Q'S 19 and 21, I went down my second column and eliminated any answers that didn't have either I or K, then elim any without L or O, then any without L or G, etc. Made these Q's way faster than when I did the set timed, and with this info setup these questions took only 20-30 seconds each.

For the other 3 questions, you have to kind of blunt force them, but because you have all possible game boards you can kind of blunt force them in your head if you choose. This is where you want to keep rule 3b heavily in your mind, but be aware it can get jumbled in your head bc you're trying to track so many things.

Just wanted to share my game board set up because it made this game a thousand times easier, and I hope other people can benefit from this.

Hello, can someone please explain how answer choice C supports the conclusion and how D does not?

I used to be able to see the video, when doing questions why I no longer can see that? it's making me type here.

Hello...I am wanting to start PTs and am nearing the end of the LG curriculum. Toward the end, I am struggling with the games. I have made a pile of the games I am really lost on. Before I start PTs, should I BRUTE FORCE understanding on all of the games in my pile? Or start PTs and brute force one game a day while PTing? I haven't taken a diagnostic and have been studying since March/April. #help

Hello.....I've noticed that sometimes questions can purposefully be time sinkers. Does anyone have any tips on how to identify time sinkers that we should skip and come back to? Thank you #help

Hi! I’m having a bit of trouble approaching my method of review w this section of the LSAT. I’ve been going through the curriculum and doing all the practice sets each section provides. I cant help but think that the best way to approach testing myself it to do drills repeatedly with with specific question types but I remember the advice they gave us saying that we should not exhaust all our study resources too quickly AND to not do one question type over and over again… does anyone have any advice on how to approach improving each question type?

I am currently in the midst of a cold streak with logical reasoning. I understand the steps 7Sage has prescribed and attempt to review them, but every practice set and blind review leaves me feeling frustrated and with no progress whatsoever.

I was wondering if any of you have found a method to take a step back from Logical Reasoning and reevaluating your methods and have seen improvement. No amount of blind review or practice questions seems to be yielding a positive gain in my abilities. Thanks!

Okay, can somebody please explain how B is correct. I understand why it is on some level, and why the others are wrong, partially because what all of the wrong answers have in common is basically that the new calendar doesn’t mess with their schedule, but it still isn’t fully clicking to me why B is 100% objectively correct. After reading through the stimulus many times, I still don’t understand the implications of the days before January 1st mixing up so that the group in AC B will eventually run into problems. I’m just really confused. Thanks a lot in advance.

Can anyone explain why E is incorrect?

I am seeking any tips or strategies to help improve my thought process on Weakening Questions. No matter how many times I rewatch the lessons or do problem sets, I still cannot answer them correctly. I do well with Strengthening Questions, but for some reason my brain is not clicking with Weakening Questions. Help would be greatly appreciated! #help

why is A correct?

Would a be incorrect if the answer was stated as" scientific experiments can go unchallenged for many years"

I feel like a is only correct because it has the " before they are replicated part"

Are we able to use the Ctrl-F find tool on the Sept 2022 LSAT? I just want to make sure no rules have changed.

So I've recently been drilling reading comp trying to get my time down. For now I am at 4:30 to 5:00 each passage. That being said when I see the expected time for some of these passages on 7Sage I see some of them have a 2min setup and I ask myself how is it possible to get through the passage in just 2 minutes?? Moreover, there are some passages that have an expected time to finish the passage and questions at about 6 Minutes and 15 seconds. How is that possible??? What am I missing, how can I get my timing down to the expecting time on 7Sage because truth be told from my perspective currently it just sounds absurd as the amount of time I take between fully answering every question and reading the actual passag itself ranges from 8:30-10:45.

Does anyone know when we are supposed to receive the email for choosing our test date, and if that email will have an option to select our test time as well? I believe the email is supposed to come from ProctorU.

I am also wondering if we will need to download any software before the test date - I assume the email will have more detailed instructions. Thanks, and good luck to all taking the September LSAT!

Just probably overthinking, but I’m nervous my test will be flagged due to proctor issues. When will we find out if our test has to be reviewed by LSAC? I’ve seen some people say they found out within a few days, and others say that they didn’t know until score release day because they got an email saying their test was under review.

To people who score well on RC: Do you typically have extra time to go back over anything after completing the fourth passage? Or do you generally finish just within 35 minutes and not really have time to go back? I often hear people say RC is the most time-restricted section so I'm curious how high scorers typically time it.

I am starting a study group for people who are aiming over 170s.

We would be taking 2 to 3 prep tests every week.

Ideally, I would want about max 6 people in the group and those who have been scoring around mid 160s.

If anyone is interested, please comment down below.

Someone please help. I’ve rewatched the section on sufficient and necessary conditions and I can’t figure them out for the life of me which is really hindering my ability to answer SA and other types of questions. Has someone came up with some sort of paraphrasing that helped them understand it better. Knowing when and how to do the contrapositives is also confusing.

Is anyone able to explain this question to me? I am horrible with proportions/math/etc, and I don't understand why my answer was wrong or why the right one is right. Thank you!!

I put this explanation in my "Wrong Answer Journal Template" and I wanted to know if I was at the right ballpark in explaining why what I chose was wrong, and what makes the right answer correct.

What makes the correct answer correct?

I think that the discrepancy is that even though each consideration has equal importance, "the lack of proximity either to markets or to raw materials often causes municipalities to lose prospective businesses" is causing more damage, and "higher-than-average business-tax rat" isn't causing as much damage . I believe the answer that is right shows why having the unequal product of both the considerations is worth while for the municipalities

What makes the wrong answer wrong?

It has nothing to do with the discrepancy being stated

How can I change my process to do better on these in the future?

I was looking at the question wrong. I thought that showing why people would relocate was somehow the discrepancy, but I see now that my answer choice had nothing to do with what was being asked of my and next time I just need to pay more attention

Hello! I have been studying for the LSAT for the past 5 months and am taking the LSAT in this upcoming September LSAT slot. Before I go back and revise and study all the material again, is there a good time period I should focus on? I know the questions have changed vastly over the last 20 years and so I didn't know if the "Newest/Newer" PTs were better overall. Thank you in advance! :)

Can someone explain why C is correct and why E is incorrect

Hello,

Do you happen to know if there are ways to prevent technical problems from happening again? Also, do we get to resume where we got kicked off from or do we have to start all over with a different exam? Are there any disadvantages from retesting? Thank you so much!

Just wondering if anyone encountered this situation: I was taking the first section early today, and everything went fine for a while. All of the sudden, the proctor started to ask me to reposition the camera without stopping the timer, and she asked me 3 times in total. The section was logic game, and my train of thoughts were completely disrupted ever time she talked to me. So, I have to go back to where I was in the question and trying to figure out what my thought was. During the third time, I got extremely upset and told her this was extremely disrupting and "please just shut up". She then told me that she's simply following the guidance. This process caused me a lot of stress, and I was not able to focus thereafter. I disconnected with the proctor righter after the first section, and filed an official complaint to the LSAC.

Was I being unreasonable? Or was she being unprofessional? I am so pissed.
