Is it just me that thinks Logic Reasoning is too long on here? To those who took the LSAT, did you skip through logic reasoning or some of it? I have been in it and still have not started Logic Games, should I wait until I finish logic reasoning first or instantly start going to logic game? (I am taking the October LSAT). Please comment!!

I was looking at the LR questions with the lowest correct answer rates and came across PT12 S1 Q24.

I picked A simply because the rest didn't make sense, but am confused why A is actually a flaw (as opposed to one that relies on the assumption that the Vinland Map wasn't also written by Gutenberg).

If the Vinland Map were also printed by Gutenberg, and we now know that Gutenberg was using this ink at the time, then it could be both likely that B-36 was printed by Gutenberg and that the Vinland Map is not a fake. None of that is inconsistent with the question stem.

So for A to be a flaw, we have to assume that the Vinland Map was not printed by Gutenberg. There is no evidence for that in the question stem. The only information we're given about the Vinland Map in the stem is that it was printed around the same time (the 15th century) as Gutenberg's works.

I get that it might be a reasonable assumption that the map wasn’t printed by Gutenberg, but feel like I’m missing something if a flaw can rely on an assumption that is not supported by the stem.

Hi everyone! I've been watching some RC live classes and in them JY makes two columns (structural and content) for low res summaries. When I've been doing tests, I've only been making one column which contains structural low res, although I find I never really look at it while answering questions. I was curious if anyone here has tried including 1-2 words of content next to their structural low res, and how that's gone for them?

Hello. I wanted to see if there were people who set aside a few months of their life to fully dedicate weeks just for this test. I graduated from college 2 months ago and have been studying for this test full-time and wanted to know if there were others doing so as well. I believe we could make a Zoom call where we study for 3-7 hours a day and keep each other motivated and prevent burnout.

Let me know if interested!

I answered C because it summarized the argument but I forgot that the question was just looking for the main conclusion/main point (not the whole premise attached). Therefore, A just summarizes/paraphrases the conclusion which is that not all uses of language are metaphorical (because some must be literal = Premise). Thus, it should be A because A is only the conclusion.

I frankly don't understand why I'm so bad at logic games. If I were no worse at logic games than I am at reading comprehension and the short answer section, I think I would regularly score in the high 160s/low 170s. I've practiced logic games a fair amount, and I think I've done a fair amount of the 7Sage curriculum on logic games. But I often get in the -8 to -13 range. Do I just need to start the 7Sage curriculum on logic games over again? (This is what I'm probably going to do.) I feel like it's totally feasible for me to regularly get -5 or better on logic games, but that's very much not where I am at present. Any thoughts? (I realize this question has probably been asked countless times, so feel free to point me to an existing answer to this type of question.) Thanks!

Hi I was wondering if anyone else had significant trouble with doing better in their reading comp section, and if there are any study tips as far as RC goes to help improve!

I choice A because I based it off on only about the subjects being paralyzed. I believed that was discussed more than the subjects having the presence in the room.

The answer is E: I was very debatable about this one because it also made sense to me.

Can someone please explain how I can do better understand the MSS question like this? Can someone explain how I could have gotten this one wrong?

please, thank you.

PrepTest February 1997 - Section 3 - Question 13

Can someone explain why the answer for this question is not D? I can see why the answer is B but I wasn't able to eliminate D from the answer choices.

I am sending everyone good vibes for a stress-free retake experience. I never got the chance to take the test Friday and spent days angry and upset about it. Then, I scored a 179 on a PT this week (my highest score yet) which reminded me that everything happens for a reason. I needed this confidence boost going into the test and now I know I am more than capable of achieving a score in the high 170s on this retake.

The only way I can look at the horrors of last weekend is that they were a blessing in disguise. The LSAT is like a lottery -- and the test this weekend will be the test we were meant to take! Trust the process even when it seems impossible. We all got this!!

The score I want is already mine. The score you want is already yours. Let's go claim it.

There are two reasons I get hard LR questions wrong. One, I don't connect a statement in the stimulus with a different phrasing in the correct answer choice. Two, I make an incorrect connection, leading to the wrong answer. Does anyone else have this problem? How do I improve?

Hey! I need help (like really badly) on the whole grouping games concept of when a rule triggers/fails. I know in the lessons it says: rule only triggers when the sufficient is satisfied or the necessary is negated. On the other hand, rule fails when the sufficient fails or the necessary is satisfied. I am in desperate need of more information/explanation/a deeper dive on this. If any one knows what lessons in specific I should visit. PLEASE let me know. Anything would help!!!!!!
