Hi, can any LR guru help take a look at the two following LR questions?

PT29 1-18 PT2 2-24

Details:

PT29 1-18: Most of artists are less insightfull than those educated.

Correct Must Be True answer E : Some of artists are no less insightgul than those educated

PT2 2-24: Many planning committee members work in suburbs

Wrong Must Be True answer D : Some planning committee members do not work in the suburbs

Basically: PT29 1-18 is saying that "Most excludes All". However, PT2 2-24 is saying that "Some does not exclude All"

Which one shall I remember? I am just sooooooo confused!

Thank you guys!!!

Does anyone have any tips regarding familiarizing oneself with law passages (e.g., reading materials, websites)? When I am unfamiliar with a topic whether in RC or LR, I end up re-reading a lot even though I have a fair grasp on the logic. Any tips and tricks would be appreciated!

Hey guys! Who I drill MSS questions, I lays get all the "very low" questions correct, then when it gets to "low" questions and "high" questions, I always get down to the last 2 choices and pick the wrong one on the first go then pick the right one on the blind review. Are there any tips on how to distinguish between the last 2 answer choices in the time frame on the first go? thanks!

I signed into ProctorU right on the dot at noon ET on Sept 29 to sign up (as soon as we got that email), but NONE of the slots were available.

I'm in the queue to chat with someone from ProctorU, but I was wondering if this is just a technical error on my side or if others were having the same problem...

I found out today, by accident, that PT 26 S1 Game 2 and PT 81 S4 Game 2 are the exact same game. They have different settings (sending letters vs dance performances), but the letters used for the pieces and the rules are the exact same. I only found this out because I had randomly done PT 26 S1 game 2 as a warmup LG before taking PT 81 today. They did ask some different questions about the games in the two tests, though they share 2 question stems in common. Are there any other games people have noticed that are duplicates?

Hope someone else will find this oddity as interesting as I did.

At a brain stop in LR

I originally started out LR by just drilling here and there and not paying too much attention to it until recently. I have been reading books, watching the videos about logic, and drilling a lot but I seem to be getting nowhere. It almost feels as if I understood it more knowing less about it. All of the different question types and how to solve them are getting jumbled when I take timed sections now. It also seems as if I need an entirely different approach for every single different question type. I am in need of ANY help or pointers to guide me in the way of properly studying for LR. (For reference, my PT is usually -12 and BR is -8ish, but now that I am only doing LR, performance has dropped a bit). Thanks in advance

Answer is C: I actually eliminated C pretty quickly on the grounds that the answer choice alleges the ethical principle does not help the journalist, whereas Anita states that the guidance is inadequate. If something is inadequate, I take that to mean it is insufficient for achieving a purpose. However, something can be inadequate but still help in a situation. If I say "the water from one fire hose is inadequate for putting out the forest fire," it doesn't mean that the water from the one fire hose does not help in extinguishing the fire. It most definitely helps, but is insufficient to achieve that purpose.

Can someone tell me why answer choice C is correct? I ended up eliminating every answer choice in this question and just guessed since I was stumped.

Deleted the stimulus because it is against our Forum Rules to post LSAT questions on the forum.

Hi! I'm currently reliably able to get Strengthening and Weakening questions correct when they are marked as Easiest/Easier/Medium level questions, but I seem to be only getting half of any given set of Harder/Hardest level Strengthening and Weakening questions. I also have the same problem with Flaw questions with about the same ratio of accuracy for the same difficulty levels.

Is there any different strategy I can adopt for sake of improvement? I really think nailing these types of questions in particular along with Flaw questions seems to be the key for me to getting a -3 or less on LR from my current score analytics, and from there my chances at a 170+ would greatly improve.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi - trying to look through previous discussions / on the LSAT website but couldn't find a clear answer. I have blank paper but it's yellow. Is that okay, or does the blank paper have to be white? Thanks in advance!

Hi guys I have been doing WAJ for the past couple of weeks. The way I did it was firstly copy&paste screenshot into my ipad notebook and then write explanations on it. Then I switched to make a drill of every question I missed or had doubt with and download that as a pdf. to write notes on. While I found this process to be smooth, I would rarely go back to these individual pdfs because the amount is getting big.

I wonder if I could somehow find a way to incorporate these notes into one document? I am thinking about perhaps doing an excel, but because I would like the stimulus included, I don't wanna do any extra, unnecessary work by somehow copy&pasting or screenshooting into excel; I already don't have enough time to actually practice because I have been spending so much time on BRing and reviewing wrong questions.

Thanks!

During drills I feel somewhat calm and collected but when im taking a PT and get to the games section, I start to panic and don't think as clearly and miss very obvious inferences and even setups that I know I can do. I believe its the nervousness making this happen and wondering anyone has tips or any help for this

How to approach short RC?

Hello everyone. Basically, I’m looking to see how to approach short RC passages as in passages that have around 5 or maybe 6 questions at most. In my experience, these passages are usually the first to come up in any given section, tend to be on the easier side, and seem like they can be completed in 6-7 minutes maybe 8 at most. However, as someone who struggles reading all 4 passages and often can’t finish the 4th, I need help with how to approach these passages with fewer questions.

Should I focus on completing these types of passages with less questions first in hopes of getting a likely 5-6 extra correct answers given the easier nature of these passages? Or should I skip it and move on to the passages that have more questions but are likely harder which can lead to more incorrect answers?

I hope this makes sense! My October LSAT is quickly approaching and I’m just looking for some last minute refinements to maybe score better on RC given that timing is my #1 enemy in RC. Thanks!

Hi , I am currently signed up for the October Lsat, but I am feeling like I should change it to November just to try and bring my score up a little bit more, but the registration for November is closed, so does that mean I could not change my test date to that test month? I emailed LSAC to see, but I do not want to try until I get a definite answer because then I will not take the LSAT until January.

With this question, i was trying to find the conclusion to break down this question and I had a difficult time with what the answer should look like ' and what kind of support would be the correct answer.

I'm working through some LR drills and going over my wrong answers, but can't seem to find video explanations for PT 3 Section 4, PT 15 Section 2, and PT A Section 4. Any ideas on where I can find them? I looked under the explanation videos tab and was able to find PT 3, but couldn't get videos for section 4 specifically. Same goes for the other PT videos I'm looking for :\

Logic games Help

Hi, does anyone have any tips that really helped them improve logic games. I have been working on improving on it for it while and I can't seem to get majority of them right in a section. I am taking the LSAT in November and really want to improve since I have less than 5 weeks.
