I want to see the explanation video for my drill question but it says discuss instead? How can I see the explanation video

Hi! I was wondering if anyone would like to join a study group with me. I am currently aiming for the October & November cycle and would like to review LR/RC! Please let me know if interested :)

In Oscar's argument, he mentions "..and thus a country's economic well-being will not be a function of its geographical position..."

What the hell is "function of geographical position"? I have no idea what this means.

Does being northern or southern itself implicates any function? or does "economic well-being" serves as a function?

I get the idea that generally north is rich and south is poor as presupposed in the stimuli but simply don't understand that phrase.

Can somebody help?

I picked C, but I'm still struggling to understand the stimulus. Please help!

I'm going through some of the core curriculum after doing a comprehensive study book with Kaplan, and I'm doing some drills now. Would you suggest I hold myself to time constraints during those drills? For example, I just completed a 5 question drill set with a pretty difficult question (5 stars) that I ended up getting correct, but it took me 5 minutes when the suggested time was 1:33. I know there's BR too, I'm just not sure if it is worth it to do timed practice right now.

I am FURIOUS. The deadline was 31 August and I submitted on the 15th. I remember it clear as day, going through the form, uploading my evidence, and it said my request had been received. I chased it because I thought 4 weeks was a long time for them to decide, and they are telling me I never submitted them. I can’t sit without my accommodations and as an international student the next sitting is in January. I feel like they’ve totally scuppered my law school chances and I hate how they’re telling me I didn’t do something I know I did!!! Any advice? :(

Does anyone have any tips on how to master logic games in general?

So I understood that to weaken the claim against alternative medicine in the stimulus, I needed to find an answer showing any evidence that alternative medicine is effective. I also see that D does this in a more specific way than C.

I was stuck between C and D, but I ultimately eliminated D because it didn’t specifically connect alternative medicine to the bodily effects of a patient believing in their treatment. For D to be right, I’d have to assume that the “medical treatment” the patient believes in is alternative medicine, and not orthodox medicine.

I chose C because it actually connects alternative medicine to an “effect,” even if that effect is something less tangible like hope. D would be a much better answer if it explicitly connected a patient's belief in alternative medicine to bodily effects, but it doesn't. It just describes the effects of a patient's belief in their medical treatment, which could be either alternative or orthodox medicine.

When I’m choosing between two answers, I’ve learned to choose the answer that requires me to make fewer assumptions and leaps. But this question is making me question that entire strategy. How can I safely assume that the “medical treatment” in answer choice D refers to alternative medicine? There isn't anything in the stimulus, question stem, or answer choice that allows me to make that assumption, so I must be missing something.

Can anyone help me understand how it's a warranted assumption that "medical treatment" in D refers to alternative medicine? I'm stumped.

I thought the answer was B because they both seemed to disagree about the finical aspect of the building

Hi all,

If you're interested in joining a study group where all we do is co-work on zoom, keep each other accountable via imessage and support each other message/ or comment below!

This isn't meant to be a study group where we review questions and Blind Review, but rather an accountability group for people who struggle to keep a consistent schedule and need a little more support. (This is especially a great group if you struggle with ADHD, anxiety/ are neurodivergent or not!)

If you are the type of person that loves hyping/supporting other people and appreciates words of encouragement this is the group for you :)

Is anyone else taking the October LSAT? Scheduling hasn't come out yet and I am wondering when to sign up???

Hi, so to give a little background.

I've been studying for about two months going from 151 diagnostic to 164 currently. I'm proud of my progress with RC being my best naturally and I've seen the most gains in LG, though I definitely need to improve there as well. LR has been my toughest opponent and probably what I've spent the most time on. I currently sit at around -4 to -7, progressing from an initial -10. The biggest thing I see is my problem accuracy is not very much of a pattern. My wrong questions are always different types and another thing is I see I often get like 3-4 of my wrong answers in a row. I was looking for any tips to address improvement at this current performance point in LR. Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Can someone help with this question!

Can someone please explain why C is correct?

I keep bombing at LR. No matter which question types I drill, I keep getting half or more than half wrong. I write in the Blind Review / Wrong Answer Journal. I blind review each question. But even in blind review I still get the question wrong! What is discouraging is seeing the stats on Curve column an seeing that no one or a small percentage of people got the same answer choice as I did. Then looking at the scorers on the same Curve column, I see its a question that was in the 130s to 140s (an "easy" question), which makes it more discouraging. I have been taking my time, not using the stop clock, and STILL get so many wrong!

My strength is in LG, which for every game, I get -0 to -1 wrong, both timed and un-timed. A bit of background: I have some computer coding skills under my belt, so LG reminds me a lot of when I would create code in Python and Javascript. I prefer to see logic as "If X, then Y" terminology as it is easier for me to understand the flow. Is there a way I can use my LG brain to work for me in LR?

I have noticed a peculiar trend where the LR questions that I tend to miss most are not the ones that I flag but instead the random other ones. I realized that I almost never miss the questions I flag but I miss the ones that I don't flag.

I am taking the Oct and Nov LSAT but I haven't taken a practice test in a month. I keep planning on taking them but then I get scared seeing if my score won't increase. Does anyone else go through this or know how to overcome it? I know I have to take them in order to improve my score but I am scared to see no improvement after another month of studying and doing better on my drills.

I don't understand why A was the correct answer choice, can someone explain the reasoning? Thank you

I usually do well on Logical reasoning from questions 1 to 15 but I seem to consistently get the answer wrong , for some reason its like the same technique I use on these questions do not work the same after question 15, is there any advice on how to improve specifically on Logical Reasoning questions after 15?

Hey y'all, so I know this is a stupid question, but can anyone explain to me what it means for something to be a sufficient condition? I understand it practically in using Lawgic to work through LR questions, but for some reason I can't explain it clearly with words. Thank you in advance!!!

To clarify, using pen to set up fixed rules/board/pieces, and using pencil to work out questions and then erasing, instead of rewriting out boards multiple times.

I go back and forth and I’m undecided.

Biggest pro with erasing is that I finish games way faster. But those few and far between questions where having past question boards available to review is the only drawback I’ve encountered.

Anyone else have experience or thoughts??

Hello! Could I get some outside opinions to break down why A is more correct than D? My thought process was:

"Few" people are influenced... in the shoes of the columnist, I'm thinking, ANY amount of people being influenced is worth banning these polls if it doesn't have any negative consequences to do so. If this had said "no" people, then I would have chosen it.

If the polls show late gains in popularity, that could be useful information to voters; did something happen leading up to the elections to cause shifting tides? Could certainly be good information to know, which would be something to point out in the argument to not ban polls.

I'm confused about which two candidates specifically don't contribute to the overall goal of the proposal.

(1) Interfere with mosquito ability to find mates

(2) Cause destruction of disease parasite before stage where it can be transmitted

(3) Disable mechanism of mosquito's own resistance to disease

Goal: Introduce mosquitos with genetic alterations that destroy disease-carrying capacity.

Is it (1) and (3), based on the assumption that the primary goal revolves around "carrying," specifically?
