When working through an RC passage, do you place an emphasis on the color of the highlighter you use when you're highlighting certain pieces of information? For example, do you always highlight the author's opinion, purpose of passage, opposing views, ect in different colors so you can tell them apart quicker? One of my biggest weaknesses in RC is spending a large amount of time going back and re-reading the passage to find certain information needed to answer a question. I think things would be faster if I came up with a color system where I could quickly go "okay, I'm looking for author's purpose. I highlighted that in pink. Here it is." Anyone do this? Which parts to you think is the most important to highlight?

(I haven't gotten to the RC modules yet, so my bad if this is a topic that is already discussed.)

Logic games has consistently been my weakest point. I find that I have developed a sort of "block" to them (when I get to that section I freeze and almost immediately give up). I can understand them for the most part when watching videos and follow along, but it becomes a problem when I attempt to do a drill. Does anyone have any suggestions to help this? I have tried reteaching myself game board set ups multiple times but I still do not feel confident in HOW they should be. Any encouragement or advice would be much appreciated!

Hello! By the end of this week, I am going to have completed the core curriculum for LR, LG, and RC (wooohoo!). BUT, now I am struggling on planning what I should do after this.

I am thinking of attempting to do 1-2 PT a week and then dedicating the rest of the week to reviewing my errors. Does this sound like a good plan? Should I do the practice test timed from the beginning? Instead of doing full PT should I do a section at a time, review it, and then do the next section?

I am planning on taking September and November LSAT.

Thank you in advance for all of your help!

NA or SA

This question doesn't seem like it would be an NA question, it seems more of a SA question due the stem. Is this correct to assume?

I chose E but struggled between that and the correct answer C. I focused on the idea that she was a "competent mechanic" and therefore her opinion in this scenario was founded however in the second piece of evidence provided it was less clear whether or not she was a competent judge and therefore how could those two be related. However I can see that the two scenarios are not related whatsoever which is why C is correct.

booking test dates and times for the August LSAT opened on July 6th at 5pm (EST) and when it first went online there was a problem with booking online tests so I believe this made a lot of people book in person even if there preference was online. Due to this, since the beginning I was unable to book my test in person and it has said there are no test centers in all of Ontario Canada I called the help line but they have basically told me their unable to do anything about it. Should I wait and see if a spot opens up or just resign myself to doing it online? Im really worried about doing an online exam because I'm worried the proctoring system will flag me fo simply stretching my neck or looking away from my screen accidentally. Any advice would be helpful!

It really seems like the answer should be (D), can someone explain to me how (B) could possibly be read as consistent with the biologist's claim. It is the exact opposite of what they are claiming????

Hello,

I took the June 2023 test following two months of extensive prep, and I will be taking the test a second time in October. My plan initially is to not do the core curriculum all over again and just focus on timed practice, full PT's, drilling and just going back to the core curriculum as needed for the topics I find myself struggling with the most.

I have a full time job and need to optimize my prep as much as possible.

For context, the last 8 PT's prior to the June test I consistently scored in the lower 160's, but I ended up scoring 158 on the actual test. I am targeting 165+ on the October test. Also, I am using 7Sage for the first time.

Any thoughts on this?

Hello,

I had a question about conditional logic in the LR section. How often should I be translating into conditional logic? Is this something I’m supposed to hold in my head or should I actively translate the statements onto paper? Should I be doing this a lot early on in my studies and less over time! Please help!

Any tips

Hello

I keep getting -7~ -9 in LSAT and when I go back for BR, I am able to get the right answer. What should I do to avoid this? Should I just keep drilling? I have been doing timed and untimed drills. I want to detect what the real issue is but I really don't get why

Hi,

As of August 2023, am I permitted to draw/write my game boards for LG with paper and pencil, whether remote or at a testing center ?

I am wondering if the way I study (p&p) will be the way I test .... and ... if my notes for logic games digital, would you please share your approach ?.... thanks, thanks and thanks and happy Fourth of July! Gisu

PS: I emailed LSAC support but have not gotten an answer yet and apparently I am impatient ;-)

Can you take the contrapositive of a causal statement? For example, if it said that A caused B, and we don't have B, is it logically corrected to say then we don't have A? Or does causation not work like that?

Did anyone else pick C instead of B? I thought that the 24 policy showed that it was important to have continuity of care so that if the doctors are tired during a shift it wouldn't have good continuity. But realizing now that I made a lot of assumptions and B is better. Is B right because it says that "now" there's a new policy that makes people stay in the hospital and that means that they're there at their most ill so its more important now to have good care?
