LSAT

Hey, y’all! I’m taking the February LSAT next Saturday and was wondering what my study schedule should be. I’ve been focusing hard this last month on logic games as I think it can boost my score the few points I want to be able to get in. I’ve been doing about an hour a day or so drilling 3-4 games a day. Should I continue doing this? I feel okay enough about the other sections. My goal is a 150ish. Thanks!
Is there a way we can take an LSAT and get a valid score back. I am taking the LSAT in August so obviously there will not be LG on that section.
Heyyy ya'll! When LSAC released the decision of removing the logic games, I decided to hold off until August to take the test. That being said, I've been studying on and off for over a year and have been consistently studying while working a full time job since June. I finished the core curriculum and have been spending my time now drilling RC and LR, PTing, blind review, and wrong answer journal.
I'd love to know what YOU are doing if you are taking August LSAT! How are you divvying up your time? What are you focusing on? How often are you PTing? Any outside recources you are using besides 7sage? I'd love to know, thanks :)

I started studying last June and took my first test this January and got a 149😔. I pushed it back from October because I knew I wasn’t ready with Powerscore. I got a tutor through them and got scammed and didn’t realize till last minute 🫠. I ended up playing catch up last minute before the test, which I feel definitely played a role in my score. I plan on taking the April LSAT and know I still struggle with LR. Are there any tactics or suggestions people can offer to support with this journey.
what am I missing

V1 seems to have a broader subject range than that.
I know the correct answer is E, however I am stuck at how C is not the correct answer even after watching the
Johnson is not a commercial raspberry grower AND he got a plant that carried a virus. We know that these two qualities (plant with virus and non-commercial growers) are the complete opposite of the type of business MOST large nurseries do. So, would that not make it probable that Wally's is not a large nursery because the type of customer and plant received by Johnson is the complete opposite of what MOST large nurseries offer?
Is this a case of C not necessarily being incorrect, but E is just a better answer?
Hopefully that makes sense and thank you for any help
Can someone shed some light on remote testing? I scheduled for the exam and there isn't an option to select testing remote. the closest testing center to me is 100 miles away. I have a time extension accommodation but that wouldn't prevent me from testing from home would it?
What did I do wrong ?
I really want to apply for the fall 24 cycle. The only thing holding me back is this damn LSAT score. GPA and other app materials are already drafted and ready to submit. Planning to take the upcoming Feb LSAT. Struggling right now to reach at least a 160. I will settle for 157-159.
Current STATS: highest PT timed so far is a 150. untimed is a 165.
I've been taking at least 2 PTs a week so far this month and been doing the BR for all of them. Idk what else to do to increase my score or if there is still hope for that even happening in the next 2-3 weeks.
I am stuck between C and E as answer choices. In this question, they compare two groups - intensive supervision of criminals released on parole and routine supervision. I chose E - that the assumption is that one group doesn't have far more criminals than another. Is this not a valid concern when the premise draws from a percentage? That one group will have more data than the other? Thanks!
So I am taking the February LSAT because my parents were getting on me for not taking it yet, however I do not feel super prepared. I know I have to take it, but I am definitely stressing. Reading Comprehension on the practice tests have been super high so I am not worried as much about focusing my studies towards it. But I was thinking of really diving deep into logic games because I know I can gain the most points there and take the L on LR. Logical reasoning hasn't been terrible for me, but I know that I would need way more time to study it. Does this approach make sense? What would you guys do? ( I am already planning on taking the April or June LSAT)

PrepTest C - Section 3 - Question 08
I am confused as to why the answer is A and not C.
In the conclusion:
"But this cannot be so, for unless some uses of words are literal, there can be no nonliteral uses of any words."
is the first part:
"for unless some uses of words are literal"
a part of the premise?

Hi! I am just wondering if I am supposed to complete all the problem sets as I am moving through the curriculum or if I should be saving some of them?
Why can’t we have a class on just conditional chains?
Is there anywhere we can practice just matching a given question stem for an LR question to an LR question type? I find that when I know the question type, I can approach the question in a far better way than when I do it without matching it directly to an LR type.
I'm looking for something like some flashcards or something where I am given a Qstem and need to match it to a given LR Qstem type. Example: Q -- "Which of the following most helps to justify ..." A -- Pseudo Sufficient Assumption
Manifesting 180's for everyone taking the test this month!
Lets get it!!
I'm trying to identify flaws. is PT 56 S3 Q10 an equivocation flaw; can you use more than a word but a concept in this type of flaw?
Is PT 52 S3 Q4 a false appeal flaw?
Is PT 54 S4 Q16 an implication flaw ?
thanks
I've noticed that sometimes these questions have an answer that's something like "indifferent" when referring to an author's attitude on a subject in an RC passage. Is indifferent ever really the right answer? I understand that maybe very rarely it might be the answer, but I just feel like they almost never put a passage where the author is really "indifferent" even if they don't include ANY of the author's own opinions or any polarizing words. I have fallen for the trap too many times where I see a passage and pick indifferent because I don't feel like the author has really had much of an opinion, but I don't think it's ever been the right answer. Curious about other's thoughts. This is probably one of my worst question types lol
Hi, I've been doing the question sets for the LR question type lessons and I've noticed during my fourth set that my brain starts to get foggy and I can't seem to focus on reading the stimulus. I almost bombed a section because of this and only managed to get a 4/5 because of blind review. How do you deal with brain fog/mental fatigue when studying for the LSAT?

I have been studying for the past ~year and a half and I'm taking it for the third and final (I already sent out apps end of nov/beginning of dec) time on Saturday. My prep lately has been going pretty good - I just got my highest score two weeks ago and that will readily get me where I need to be BUT this week my drills, RC in particular, have taken a hard left turn. I'm trying to be relaxed about studying this week, I'm going to take a pt tonight, but now I am not sure if I should hold off until Friday night or not take it at all and focus just on RC but I also have some LR I really would like to solidify too.
Hi everyone,
I've been studying for almost a year and I have put in a lot of hours but I'm not making any more progress than I already have, especially in LR and RC. My diagnostic score was a 141, my personal best is a 155, and my goal is a 165.
Does anyone have any tips or recommendations to improve my LR score? It's getting very discouraging to invest so much time and money into this test and not get the score I want after so long.
I've done nearly the entire core curriculum and hundreds of problem sets in drills but it's not translating on actual prep tests and I'm very nervous to not get the score I want for when I take the test in April and June.
Any bit of help is greatly appreciated, even just saying what your strategy is for each question stem if it's different compared to what I do or what JY does.
Thanks!
