I finished the LR part of the core curriculum and took the Single LR Section. I didn't do well because of timing. Should I do more LR or just move onto the LG and RC sections?

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone has any tips and getting to -0 for timed PTs for LGs?

When I blind review, I correct it to -0 but then under timed PTs I still get -3, to even -6 under timed conditions.

It seems I get overwhelmed when a game has a lot of variables? For example, PT 68 game 4, I missed three questions, two cbt (felt overwhelmed under timed PT by rule that consecutive can't be the same topic, and brute forcing answer choices).

Other PTs I noticed my mistakes are I didn't read the questions stem properly under timed, or through a mbt question chose an answer that could be true. So tips for that pressure of timed PTs would be appreciative lol

I've foolproof before but haven't done so in a month, should I just get back it?

Hi anyone else facing problems in scheduling? Every slot is not available

Just opened up Proctor U to check if I could schedule because I remembered hearing that people who were NOT first time test takers were able to schedule earlier on Proctor U ahead of the time that LSAC emails out the link. It worked!!!! I am scheduled now and got the time I wanted!!!! Go check if you are a repeat test taker! Sending good vibes to all testing in June, we got this!

Going through some problem sets and I've noticed that inference and MBT are labelled distinctly despite that fact that I thought they were identical question types. Am I missing some nuance between the two?

Just started the first week in cc of LG and feel like I am an idiot. When I am doing the problem set, I can barely get 50% right answers for 3 star questions within 17:30. Couldnt calm down when I am drawing game board and make inference properly. Misread stem all the time. But during blind review I could easily draw a game board almost the same as JY and may only miss one question eventually. Dont know why that happened. Any advice to improve? Or just practice? My brain's like frozen with time restriction lol

I wasn't sure which phrase would indicate the self-interest

Are you supposed to finish every problem set for each LR question type in the core curriculum before you move on to a new LR question type?

Wondering because it would make my life easier in RC.

Hi everyone! This is related to PT55S3Q24, but it is on necessary assumption questions with conditional language in general-- how do you do the negation test with conditional AC's? And what is a good approach for NA Q's with conditional language in the stimulus-- sometimes I feel like I can approaching them too similarly to a SA Q. Thanks!

I've been taking LR sections untimed and generally get between -0 and -2. Depending on the overall difficulty of the section I usually take between 35-45 minutes. However, when I take timed practice tests my accuracy goes down. I notice that many of the questions I missed were because I overlook certain details that would've clued me into the right answer, and on blind review I usually catch all of these errors. Any tips as to how one should generally go about building up their speed?

Hey all,

I've noticed that, when there is a question such as "Which of the following, if true, determines all [placements within the given game]?" the answer choice includes the placement of the free agent, which is often the last piece that goes unplaced since the other answer choices leave it up to question. Therefore, I've begun testing answer choices with looking for the one or ones that tell where the free agent goes. This has sped up my elimination process significantly.

Anybody else see this?

Hello! I hope all is well! Does anyone know what order of question types JY recommends to study for LR?

I'm sure it goes: 1. MP/MC, 2. MSS, 3. AP, 4. WEAKEN, 5. STRENGTHEN etc... (If i messed up that order please correct me lol)

But what goes after those (according to 7sages advice)? Thanks!

Happy studying!

I was looking through discussion threads of when individuals plan to take their LSAT. I only decided about two weeks ago after a gap year I would like to apply for Fall 2023, and since have been doing my best to study often and effectively. I was under the impression it would be okay to take in September, but it seems most plan to take it in June or August. Am I considerably behind if I plan on September? I realize that applications open around October so that would be a quick turn around, would that be a bad thing if I feel I really need the entire summer to study?

So I have been studying for the June 2022 LSAT for roughly 6 months during school and have not been able to dedicate as much time as I would like. I am aiming to get above a 170+. I spend most of my time drilling sections, not taking as many PTS. I have gotten a 173 as my highest score on a PT (only once) and have broken into the 170+ range two others times both 172. Right now I typically get the anywhere between a 165-170 on my PTS. Should I wait to take the LSAT in August to try improving my score and using the summer to study? Or should I go for the June test and use my one time look ahead for a score cancellation for first time test takers? I am conflicted because I feel like I am right on he cusp of getting where I want to be and I have three more weeks until the June 11 test. Just wondering what anyone else's thoughts were on this! Thanks!

Hi,

I have been practicing logic games for a month now and I am still not getting any faster. I don't know what to do, I still cannot finish them in the allotted time. What has helped all of you get faster at these?

I believe this should be a weaken question not flaw. Manhattan says its weaken too. Besides, the right answer choice E is giving a new cause- that of not being extroverted as a person OVER astrology affecting them.

Hello,

I often find myself eliminating three answer choices, resulting in two remaining choices that I waste undue amounts of time deciding between. Does anyone have any advice on a formulaic way of selecting an answer choice with the highest chance of accuracy while minimizing the amount of time lost? Thank you!

If I take the LSAT in August 2022, will I still be able to apply for law school so that I can begin in Fall 2023?

For this question, I did not choose A because I created a world where F is not 1 lower than S and I don't understand what I'm getting wrong, I doubled checked the rules.

The world is: F K J S M G H

lol I know I did not crack the lsat, #help fr

Thanks :)

I've noticed lately that my accuracy on the arts RC passages (art movements, literature, architecture, etc.) tends to be lower than my accuracy on all the other types. My best explanation for this is that I simply have a harder time absorbing and comprehending the information presented in these passages due to having had little exposure to the subject matter (I'm majoring in math and philosophy). It's taking too much brains-space to try and read for structure as well as keeping details in mind for those questions that ask for specifics (I scan the questions before reading the passage). I think reading some literature similar to those arts passages might help with this problem by giving me more exposure. Does anyone have recommendations as to where I could start to look?

Taking the LSAT in August btw

Does anyone remember the game set of sequencing toys?

I remember it was sequencing toys with different colors..!

Didn't took a note on that:(

I am having a hard time understanding the rationale behind the correct answer choice being 'B' and why it wouldn't be choice 'D'

In the real LSAT test with the computer, can you really draw the logic just like JY did? I cannot imagine that I can draw the logic on the scratch paper and read the passage on the screen at the same time. Also, can you read the questions aloud? I don't sound loudly, but it's louder than whispering. I'm a slow reader, and if I don't read the passage aloud, I have to read it again and again to understand the context. Moreover, I am familiar with paper tests, so I am aware that I will have to spend more time reading the questions on the screen.
