By problem sets I mean the LR ones with 5 questions each, usually in the middle range (in the numbered list of problem sets). I feel like my brain is burning out too quickly considering that I would have to solve 50 LR questions on the real LSAT.

Also, how many "3+ difficulty" questions are there usually in a single LR section (approx. 25 questions total)? I'm getting -1 or -0 on problem sets with questions below or equal to "3 difficulty" but getting more than 1 wrong in sets with questions with "3+ difficulty" and am scared :/

Any help would be very appreciated, thanks guys.

Hi everyone,

I am signed up for the March 2022 exam and would love any advice on my situation:

My goal score is a 170, and I have taken 6 full PTs (five in the 70s and one in the 80s) scoring in the 162-165 range with my blind review scores in the 172-177 range. My typical-timed breakdown is:

-1 to 0 LG

-4 to -3 in LR

-10 to -8 in RC

Given that we’re a little under 6 weeks away, would improving to my goal score before the March test be doable?

If so, what else could I be working on given the time span? My focus is surely on RC along with 1-2 full PTs/week with thorough review (and rewatching recorded takes). Thank you in advance! 🙏

As the title says, I was around -3 on LG when I stopped studying last year and now I'm -10. I would prefer not to go back into the studying materials. Does anyone have any recommendations for filling in that knowledge gap?

Hi y'all.

So first to start im currently scoring a 1587-161, the score im aiming for is a 161 on my LSAT. LR and RC seem to be my worst sections, and since I've read LR is the most learnable (between LR and RC) I focused on improving my LR score. Im still missing about 8-15 questions in my RC section and most of it has to do with timing. I do much better untimed, and I've timed myself before on my phone and im able to do a RC passage under 35 minutes, im just not sure what's going on when I actually take it timed and can see the time.

Any advice would be helpful as I've tried literally everything I've read. Something to note is that I have horrible test anxiety (to the point where I've thrown up during exams) but unfortunately couldn't get an accommodation on time for the march exam.

So I just started training for the LSAT and I am only focusing on the Logic Games for the next couple weeks. Is it smart to take a single problem set in under 9 minutes, then review what I got wrong through the explanation videos? Or should I really challenge myself by taking more than game per set?

Hello. If I have a firm grasp on LR before starting my subscription, what do I do once I purchase? Do I just create problem sets of 30?

Am having trouble with this question - could someone let me know if I'm thinking about the stimulus (and ACs) correctly?

Stim:

P1: When old trees die, the decomposition releases their stored CO2

P2: Harvesting old trees makes more room for young trees (who can absorb more CO2 than old trees)

C: Harvesting old trees for manufacturing things would reduce CO2 (and therefore we'd avoid the whole decomposing issue?)

My thoughts: Okay, that seems like it makes relative sense. There's an assumption there that the CO2 release by decomposed old trees would be offset by the young trees that can absorb more CO2.

ACs:

A - Animal species? Irrelevant.

B - At first I immediately eliminated this AC because it just didn't seem to make any sense. After more reading, it seems like okay, if the harvested old trees were manufactured into products that would decompose super quickly, we could still run into the CO2 decomposition issue.

C - This was the AC I originally picked, thinking that since a young tree contains 10 CO2 vs an old tree that contains 40 CO2, then clearly the young tree can't offset the decomposition of an old tree. But I think this AC is actually irrelevant because of course a young tree at a snapshot would contain less CO2 than an old tree would - but this seems to attack P2?

D - Irrelevant, dont need to know where most of the CO2 in a forest comes from.

E - I feel like this AC is trying to get us to attack P2 in a similar way C is, but we'd have to also assume that size of trees has some sort of correlation with CO2 absorption.

For me, both are to support the argument.

But, it’s to hard to distinguish how to approach to each.

Is there anyone who can explain how to approach to each Q?

Thanks!

I'm confused why the answer isn't x,y,z. Ik the Falafel truck serves 2 at a time but shouldn't it be able to serve all 3 if we cover all possible scenerios?

Hello, I wonder if anyone could help me to locate a LR question, which I guess I came across while I was doing core curriculum or PTs in 50s.

The question is about a principle labeling a carrot as "nonfat":

If we are to label an actually nonfat food like a carrot as "nonfat", it should be mistakenly believed to be a fatty food.

Also, if people mistakenly believe a nonfat food as a fat food and if that nonfat food is labeled as nonfat food, it may be labeled as "nonfat".

I wish I could give you more information about the question.. or is there any way to filter out prep questions using a keyword?

I had originally chosen AC C because I didn't carefully read the "that is not based on coconut oil" portion, so now I can see how D is correct.

However, if C had said "Nondairy coffee lighteners made with coconut oil..." - would that have made it a strengthening AC? It seemed like the stimulus was trying to allude to the fact that maybe fat has a stronger impact on cholesterol levels than cholesterol themselves.

#help

Really struggled with this question in terms of understanding the QS and choosing between A and D (specifically, why A isn't right). Could someone correct my understanding?

Stim:

profit --> build more rooms or improve existing

/build more rooms

/profit

My thinking: So if there's no ability to increase profits, then hotel owners are either unable to build more rooms (which stim states) and/or unable to improve existing rooms

This question is a fill in the blank, so we're looking for a most strongly supported AC.

ACs:

A: Struggled a lot with this AC - it almost seemed like a necessary assumption because sure, even if hotel owners can't build more rooms, what if their rooms are at 10% occupancy right now? They'd be able to increase profits if they upped the occupancy rate to 100%.

B: Wrong. How would we know if they are maxed out when it comes to attractive location? Stim doesn't tell us this

C: Wrong. Cost of labor? came from left field

D: Initially chose this answer and then went back to A. My thinking here originally was: Alright, so hotel owners can't build more rooms, but they have another lever. Could they do some renovations and charge the rooms higher so they can make a profit? But, this AC shows that the hotels are already maxed out when it comes to improvement so they're really just...stuck.

(but then I came back again to this question and thought, well, what if the rooms aren't actually maxed out so then I kept bouncing back and forth between A and D) :(

E: Wrong. How do we know this/what would this even do to drive towards the fact that profits aren't increasing?

Are there breakdowns for the prep test questions? If yes could someone tell me how to access them.

I've been studying for well over a year and reading comp is the section I'm just not getting any better at, in fact I've gotten worse. After nearly acing my LG and LR (-2 combined),RC has single-handedly out of the 170s. I score anywhere from -5 to -8. At this point, I'm just not sure law school is for me if I can't simply read and do well answering questions. I've tried many different methods but no one strategy yields significantly more positive results than another. I'm really unsure of what to do but for the first time in my studying I'm close to calling it quits (for financial reasons I'm not willing to go into a certain amount of debt which requires a good LSAT for the target schools I'm looking at).

Any advice?

Hi, all I have decided to use Loophole for LR and 7sage for games. I wanted to ask since I will not be doing the LR CC for 7 sage which videos I should watch from the CC to prepare me for the logic needed in the LG section that's it thanks!

Can someone validate my reasoning for why A is right and E is wrong (I had originally picked E):

Stim:

The new device can just cancel out the noise that the vacuum makes, so because of this, this new device can operate more efficiently/use less electricity than the old-school silencers. Why?

A:

Historically, there's been a tradeoff between silencing noise and efficiency, so for the old-school silencers, having to design that requires using comparatively more energy.

E:

This only refers to silencers in general and how they make cleaners less efficient, so we don't actually know what the difference is between these new silencer devices vs the old-school silencers.

After studying for almost 2 years I have come to the conclusion that it is nearly impossible to improve on RC and to do all 4 passages under timed conditions. What are some ways that helped you get to all 4 passages under timed conditions as well as get under double digits with regards to wrong answers? I usually get 10-12 wrong on RC sections and I want to at least get to -9.

Thanks.

This is a necessary assumption question. The correct answer : "parts that satisfy our govt standards are not the same poor quality as cheap foreign parts." But the premise already states that the country has the toughest automotive tests in the world. I want to understand that this assumption is not contradicting the premise.

Where am I getting wrong?

Hi! I'm having trouble distinguishing why option B was incorrect when option E was correct in problem PT7 S4 Q02. Would someone be able to explain it for me?

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question"

I originally picked C and didn't pick D - can someone confirm my rationale for why C is wrong and D is right?

C - Mentions that "very low" blood sugar levels could cancel out the high cholesterol levels, but the residents have normal blood sugar levels, so this is super irrelevant. Seems like LSAT is banking on fast and undetailed reading

D - If the residents have a genetic predisposition against vascular blockage, then that might explain why even with high cholesterol levels, they may have a counteracting force against the cholesterol levels

Lines 7 and 8 are freezing my comprehension, relegate, periphery and antecedents. Any suggestions. The author lost me.

When I get lost, it's hard for me to determine if the big picture of the passage is positive, negative or neutral, agree or disagree.

Please help. Thank you.

Admin Note: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-62-section-1-passage-4-passage/

Intuitively I chose E, but then crossed it out because the passage did not specifically state what is "good journalistic practice".

Chose B but then understood why it was wrong- I made an assumption about "interesting".

If someone has done this question about water vapor and oceans and got it correct: can you please explain to me? I am not understanding the correlation between precipitation and the concentration of oxygen in seawater. I chose A originally if someone can also tell my why thats wrong. Thank you guys!! Appreciate any help :)

Totally have no idea how to set up the game board.

I've done close to 12 PTs in the past month and I've noticed that my LG score varies significantly than that of my drills. Usually when drilling LG I can get anywhere from -4 to -0 on a cold section. However, when taking PTs my LGs are awful ranging from -4 to -8 in some cases. Does anyone have any tips on how to close this gap ? I think I'm decent at LG but for some I just cant rely on it during an actual PT.
