I get the questions correct under timed conditions, however, when I do blind review I change my answers from correct to incorrect.

Quick question -

I've just finished the grouping games intro videos on the CC. After watching JY walk through the solutions, I'm wondering, do we always just notate the necessary conditions on the gameboards?

For example, game 4 on PT26 (the lawmakers and scientists with one chairperson) has two not both rules. G -> /V and H -> /Y. Instead of notating G or H in, JY notates /V or /Y in, making the rules irrelevant since the necessary is satisified and the sufficient condition falls away.

In the game with the two boats with three adults and five children, there is a F -> G rule, and the contrapositive is /G -> /F. Instead of notating F or /G, JY instead notates G into the diagram. Once again, the necessary is satisfied and the sufficient condition falls away.

Is this what I'm supposed to be doing in my gameboard setup? Because if so, this might cut down some time while I'm doing games and even get my head straight when I'm doing the games.

If anyone has any advice on this, please let me know. I'm struggling most with just the gameboard set up (for most games) - as soon as I accomplish that, the questions are ridiculously easy.

I've completed Logic Game PT 1 - 52. Would you recommend I continue to do more recent PTs or redo the one I've already completed? I miss about 7-8 questions for a complete set (4 games) with timing (30 mins). When doing a blind review, I still miss 2-3 questions.

I'm preparing for the 2022 June LSAT. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hello all,

I was wondering if anybody could give me advice on Logic Games. I’ve been taking PTs everyday since April 11. And my test date is June 11. I’ve been seeing a slow incline and sometimes I’ll stagnate in scores. But I think it’s because my LG section is always really poor and it brings down my score.

Are their any strategies y’all would reccomend me do? Should I focus on LG during the week and then take PTs on the weekend?

Since my Best score so far on PTs is just shy of 8 points of my target score for the school I am looking at. So I think if I can just improve on LG section, then I’ll be able to get it on test day.

*PS, any of y’all watching the new season of Better Call Saul so far? Cuz I’m loving it! Haha

For those who have fool proofed, did you fool proof games that you completed in under the target time on the first try? So far I've still been doing each game 4 times (following the Pacifico method) regardless of if I completed it in under the target time on the first try, but I'm not sure if it's necessary.

Does anyone know which PT this game is from?

The one with 7 sequencing slots and three kat and puppies, each different species!

I totally screwed up this game set and want to redo it

No getting how the answer choice is right at all.

help can anyone explain to me why B is correct? Isn't B strengthening the argument?

help why is the correct AC correct????

Can someone explain the reasoning behind answer choice (B)? I'm not 100% sure why oxygen-18 in seawater is increased, not decreased.

Thanks in advance! :)

I missed the March PowerScore Crystal Ball and on the recent LSAT podcast they said the predictions might be helpful for April as well. Please comment if you have any tips or suggestions noted down from the Crystal Ball!

Posted this as a comment under the Problem Set, but am really unsure of why my reasoning is incorrect so looking for help. Won't add the question here so it doesn't act as a spoiler but I've referenced the question in the post title.

I've pasted my comment below:

"My only qualm with the elimination of E is that if there's a possibility for an earthquake to never happen, or happen less frequently, is that not safer than one that just occurred, but won't for another 99,999 years? I've tried to show my thinking with the comparison below:

Nuclear site 1: 1 earthquake every 10 million years, last occurred 1 million years ago (definitely before living memory).

Nuclear site 2: 1 earthquake every 100,000 years, last occurred yesterday.

Even if an earthquake just occurred at Nuclear site 2, the next one would still occur before the next one at Nuclear site 1. In this case, it would not be safer to build at Nuclear Site 2, even if an earthquake just occurred at site 1?

I understand why C is necessary, but given the reasoning above, don't see how to rule out AC E."

Anyone here in their 29/30 studying for LSAT?

Hello everyone!

First time LSAT taker here. Taking the April LSAT on Friday morning. My RC and LR scores are reasonable enough, but I’m getting killed on LGs, mostly due to timing with constructing diagrams. Pretty last minute…but does anyone have any suggestions for the best method to fix this? What’s the best resource to utilize for strictly LGs? I’ve been focusing on practice LSATs and volume of questions…is this efficient? Thank you!

Are there any tricks to identify main conclusion in an argument other than the indicators?

Can someone explain the answer for this question please?

I am about to fool proof all games from PTs 1-35. Is it recommended to fool proof by game type? Meaning is it better to do, say, all of the in/out games from 1-35, then turn to other game types? Or is it recommended to go straight through the games in PTs 1-35 and, therefore, be exposed to many different game types in a random order?

I started 7 Sage back in September of 2021 and it has been interesting to say the least. I decided to take on the course curriculum full time. I have followed and finished the core curriculum full time since September 2021 and am EXTREMELY dissatisfied. How can 7 sage possibly justify only a 12 point increase (136 to a 149) in 7 months of full time practice? In fact, in the past two months I have actually gone down 1 point and literally can't beat my best from two months ago. I put my trust in them and all I hear back is robotic responses. "Study harder", "Try our this and that at $$$$ amount", "Trust the process", "Blind Review". I understand that people learn at their own pace but there is a difference between difficulty of a subject and a complete diminish in return. I have come to the realization that 7 sage will keep me swimming in circles by repeating the same instruction that got me there in the first place. I train just as hard if not harder than many 170+ scorers and my time stamps show it. Unfortunately, I don't have a white picket fence life that allows me to write a check to 7 sage for $3,000 for for the best instruction tailored to me.

Can someone go over the answers please? I was between A and C but ended up choosing A. The right answer is C.

This question had me sorta off the rails briefly cuz I was expecting to see a cookie-cutter flaw problem. As if laughing at my assumption, the dilemma posed by it vexed me. I was torn between two competing choices, (B) and (E). In the end, I was convinced that any safety protections like child safety seats demand the observation of rules with rigor should one want to maximize "security benefits from them".If a parental figure fails to install the seat properly, relying on a wrongful belief that the mere existence of it would be a fool-proof/copper-bottomed guarantee or a surefire thingy for "child safety in the vehicle", then he or she could engender more probabilities for putting it in jeopardy. But (B) was such a clickbait and I was almost catfished. The more children are on the road, the more they could be exposed to dangers underway. Thus, I was baffled by the difficulty of this question at the outset. I was wondering whether I am being an outlier here. Of course, every question asks us to find "The Best Answer Choice"by eliminating all the others, however viable and feasible they are. What are ur thoughts on this?

For this question, I was stuck between C and D, but D said “dominant” news source, which wasn’t mentioned anywhere in the stimulus.

Thoughts?

Hi guys, looking for some advice on LGs. I have been working on them for a few weeks now (ok, like two, lol), and haven't seen much improvement on time. I can answer most/all of the questions successfully (maybe -1 or -2 on a bad day) but my speed isn't improving (or at least not much). I diagram on time I think (a minute or two-ish), but I think what's bogging me down is the time it takes to try out must/can be true q's or must/can be false q's, as well as sometimes making new, more difficult inferences for questions with new if's. Idk if it is just that though, because I am taking more time answering every question than I should be. I've just been drilling problem sets, but not sure if there is a better method I should be looking into. Any advice would be super helpful! Thanks.

really confused about this question. cant even diagram the stem. any help appreciated

Does anyone know how we are supposed to review the questions we got wrong on the LR sections of the preptests if it dosent show us the question after we have completed the test?

Hi all,

I am currently confused on how many scored sections of the 2022 LSAT there are. Is it true there are only 3 sections that are scored on the LSAT exam? From what I understand, the second Logical reasoning question is not scored and will not effect the overall score. Is this correct?
