Do you ever feel like a plastic bag? Drifting through the wind? One blow from caving in? Do you know that there's still a chance for a piece of shit like you (and me)? - Katy Perry ft. lsat_sus

This Tuesday, 9pm CST (aka not PST, not EST), I'm holding a free LR tutoring session on PT 86 Section 1 EVENS. Try to have it done ready with your BR if you plan to attend. This is necessary if you want to benefit from our sessions (imo).

Goals - prove to you why I think the LSAT is a lil cyka blyat, appendix-fetishizing, incestuous uncle fucker.

Plan - a. parse stimuli b. note whether or not the Q yielded a predictable pre-phrase c. discuss pre-phrase formulation, or how that particular question did not yield a pre-phrase and what I did in that situation d. Note the predictable wrong answer choices e. Explain the correct AC and note any predictable patterns. f. Review the main "extrapolations" g. Open up the floor for questions.

Structure - Clock-in 9pm sharp. Say what's up. Mute. Start the 2-3 hour grind. Record the session. Please feel free to mute your cam. I will be uploading this "unlisted" on Youtube and share link. I'm not taking mula so LSAC and YT can gtfo, stfu and smd.

Let's effing do this. The LSAT is not only learnable but also beatable. It's not Nadal on Clay nor is it the USA Water Polo team. See y'alls in a bit.

Hey are there any strategies to choose which RC passages to read first, second, third, fourth? Or do you guys suggest going 1-4 as given? Is it better to do passages with more questions first? Thanks for all your help!

New to 7sage format and not sure if 7sage allows one to print out the Logic Games. I have never had any issues with printing with other companies. Cannot find the printing feature on the problem set section. Am I missing something or does 7sage not allow printing? Thank you!

I use to score from -7 to -10 on logic games, my worst was -12. Over the past several weeks, maybe 2 months, I have gotten significantly better and can score in the -1 to -4 range. My last PT I got -1 on LG. I want to be really excited about this improvement but I always feel like it wasn't truly my hard studying and blind reviewing that got me here, for example I will lead myself to think that it was just an easy set or I was able to see inferences I wouldn't be able to on actual test day. The worst thought I tell myself is that my real test (in October) will have curveballs or insanely hard games that my practice isn't preparing me for and I will end up scoring -10 again.

Does anyone else struggle with this?

I'm a bit confused how to to approach reviewing the RC section. Of course tracking wrong answers and why I got them wrong. Writing down question types I struggle with. Possibly re-taking the section? But is there anything I can do beyond this for improvement?

I'm not really sure where to begin. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

I took the August LSAT and am retaking in October. I consistently score in the -1 to -3 range on LR and RC, but the LG still gives me trouble. I am usually -5 to -7 mostly because I don't get through all the games, scoring -1 to -3 in BR.

Everything I've read and people I've talked to say that LG is the easiest section, but that has not been my experience. I've done A LOT of practice games and can do the questions, but am still unable to get through them all in 35min. Nerves are not the issue, so maybe I'm just slow to set up and get through the questions? I would appreciate any suggestions for improving timing. Thanks!

Hey guys !

I hope all is going well for you :)

I struggled with practice test 67 game 2 with the " if but only if " statement I did not know that you NEEDED to create two game boards with the last rule. I was lucky enough to only get 1 wrong in the set but I need to practice more. If anyone knows any games that have the " if but only if" rule please let me know I am willing to practice all of them.

LG is by far my weakest section and I intend to write the Nov LSAT. I've done all the LGs from 10-75 but I was ignorant and casual about studying in the past (wasn't sure about pursuing law school). I'd do them, watch an explanation video and never revisited them to ensure my understanding. There'd also be large breaks / gaps between games sometimes. I did another circuit from 40-75 again in that time as well. Needless to say, my improvements have only been modest, my confidence in LG is low, and I remain prone to catastrophic breakdowns.

I've only now purchased 7sage and have backfilled all my past papertest results into the system to generate an analysis. I can see where my weak spots are. What should I do now? Do I drill my weak areas by type & difficulty progressively? Or take full 35 min sections of LG from diff PTs and foolproof them?

Anyone that can suggest a focused regimen for me would be greatly appreciated. I find myself ruing my decision not to sit for the old LSATs back in 2017, 2018 etc. where this only represented a quarter of my grade...

I got it correct by POE, but I was enticed by A and even after getting it right I still don't 100% understand. 7Sage doesn't have explanations for this test. Thanks in advance!

So, I’ve noticed that I went from -3 or -4 on LR back to -7 because I don’t use the underline/highlight feature on the digital exams. On the paper exams I could quickly underline the P and C which would help me see flaws better before jumping into answers choices…

But now I just try to do it all in my head because I’m afraid of taking more time or messing up.

I’m doing it on my phone tho. Wondering if it’s easier on the tablet? Does anyone else use this feature to help? Or should I just scrap it?

Hi everyone. This is my first time using the discussion board so I apologize if it's a big longer than the typical posts. If you do decide to read it through though, I so so appreciate you.

This post is about PT5 S5 Q15 and really any other questions that have the same problem. My problem is that the question can have two meanings. Here is the question: "Q's response serves to counter any use by M of the evidence about 85-90 year-olds in support of which one of the following hypotheses?"

The first interpretation of the question can be paraphrased like this: "Which of the following is a hypothesis that Q's response supports and also counters the evidence presented by M?" The second interpretations can be paraphrased as such: "Which of the following is a hypothesis that M's evidence supports that can also be countered by Q. The difference is that in the first interpretation, the clause [in support of which one of the following hypotheses] is completely separate from the others. In the second interpretation, the clause [in support of which one of the following hypotheses] is embedded within the clause [any use by M of the evidence about 85-90 year-olds in support of which one of the following hypotheses].

(In syntactic language, interpretation one has a structure in which the PP [in support of which one of the following hypotheses] is the daughter of the main VP, while interpretation two has a structure in which the same PP is the daughter of the main DP.)

The difference between the two structures is pretty critical because it determines which person the answer choice must support, Q or M. The problem is since both structures are equally valid, both interpretations are correct. So, my question is, how are we the test takers supposed to know which interpretation to assume, when both meanings are grammatically correct?

A valid conclusions is a conclusions that's already 100% proven by it's premises. Can these questions ever be strengthened or weakened? Or do strengthening and weakening questions always have a stimulus with some error

"Risk of difficult birth higher for women over 40. Those with difficult birth have higher possibility of being ambidextrous..."

This stimulus just doesn't make sense to me. Consequently, I went into the AC's lost. Is anyone able to make sense of what they're trying to say and the logical flaw made?

I cannot seem to figure out the logic behind this question.

Hi I understood that B is the best choice but I am confused as to how its pattern really match with the pattern in the stimulus.

Basically, I was threw off when seeing "are designed to" in B and moved on, only to realize all other choices are wrong. By the time I got back to B again, at least 3 min was already wasted!

Is my mindset wrong for thinking that the pattern needs to be highly matched?

Thanks in advance!

RC is one of my strongest sections--I at most go -3. I will be doing an RC session on Tuesday at 11am PST (2pm EST), so feel free to join me! We will be deconstructing a passage together and going over the questions.

I will be posting the Zoom link shortly before the session begins. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Thanks for joining, everyone! Sorry the Zoom meeting cut out. If you have any more questions, feel free to message me.

Hey ya'll! I am taking my exam in October and I am looking for a logic games tutor. I desperately need to get better at making inferences and was wondering if a tutor might help. Please reach out if you are up for it. If you are willing to offer free sessions you would be a god-sent but if not I guess we can discuss rates (not really sure how that works but we can figure it out). Thank you!

Hi all, in this passage, is the conclusion the first sentence?

Can someone #help identify the conclusion??

I'm considering re-doing RC passages plus questions to increase pattern recognition and to review any questions that got past me.

Have you done this and found it helpful?

I don't get how this is the right answer. I'm aware the color red usually means stop and the color yellow usually means yield but why should I need to assume outside information like that to get this answer correct?

How am I supposed to know this from just the stimulus. Am I missing something?

https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/podcast-episode-91-the-august-2021-lsat-review/

I don't understand how E is the right answer over D. I eliminated the answer choice E because she claimed to be an insurance adjuster and didn't provide proof. How is claiming to be anything providing enough proof of being a government official? If the answer choice said the insurance adjuster provided some kind of proof I would have opted for it but ended up picking D because the government official provided proof, and I don't consider being evasive necessarily lying.

Hey yall! So my testing experience went so bad to the point that I cried when testing was done. I filed my complaint and luckily they offered me a retest next week. Anything I should be concerned about for next week's test?

Hi everyone,

I am planning to take the LSAT in October. My goal score is 165. I’ve been scoring consistently in the mid 150s and sometimes will score a 158/159. I haven’t been able to crack 160.

Logic games is my worst section by far. Reading comprehension fluctuates. And LR is typically -4/-5. Any advice? It would be greatly appreciated.
