I just cant figure logic games out under times conditions. I keep getting 7-10 wrong every test, and if i can just master them i will have the score i need.

Does anyone have any tips they could help me with?

Regarding one of the core lessons, not all/ some not.

https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/advanced-negate-all-statements/?ss_completed_lesson=1055

I am still confused.

Why does some not cover 0-99? Why from 0?

Isn't it supposed to be 1-99?

From the example sentence,

Some cats are not pretentious.

It seems odd if it means, "0 cats are not pretentious"

Could you help me understand this?

Thanks.

I've noticed the importance that is placed on foolproofing on 7sage but one thing that i keep getting stuck on is the amount of games that the core curriculum gives and how long it would take to properly foolproof them.

What is the best way to efficiently foolproof without having to forfeit the time necessary for the other two sections? Should I just foolproof the games from my practice tests? Pick them out randomly from cc?

any advice would be appreciated!

This is very specific, but I've noticed a pattern in my LR performance where I tend to get questions that involve the following two topics/construction wrong, or at least I find them more challenging:

(1) Questions that have to do with studies, usually in the social sciences and sometimes the biological sciences. For example, an experiment having to do with the learning patterns of babies in different settings, or some study having to do with some substance and its effect on cholesterol. This usually comes in the form of Weaken/Strengthen questions.

(2) Questions that describe the behaviour of some kind of animal, like some bird and its habitat or some predator vs. its prey. This usually comes in the form of Resolve the Paradox/Reconcile & Explain questions.

I don't remember specific questions, but I'm sure those of us who have done enough LR have all seen questions like these.

Does anyone have very specific topical weaknesses like these? I'm not quite sure how to get better at LR questions with these topics. I don't think it's an issue of the question type, but the topic.

Does anyone know any good outside material for a layman to get better at these topics? For example, I know J.Y. talks a lot about control groups/how to run an experiment but I seem to have knowledge missing in this area. I'm not necessarily looking for specific materials, which would be good too, but I'd really like some advice as to what to look up/Google to study some background knowledge for these topics.

Thanks!

Hello guys,

I have a quick question for y'all concerning two answer choices in this question. I believe it is critical to understand why answers are wrong — especially for "weaken except" questions. In this situation, while I got the right answer, I'm still left to wonder how and why answer choices B and E weaken the argument.

Thanks!

Can someone explain their reasoning for the right answer? I have a general intuition as to why this is correct, but am having a difficult time articulating it to myself. Thanks so much! #HELP

Any advice on what era to focus in on? I feel like they're running out of undisclosed sections from the more recent testing dates, but I could definitely be wrong ¯_(ツ)_/¯

One of my biggest areas of weakness is the A/B Reading Passage. I know JY recommends starting with Passage A and answering every relevant question before moving to Passage B. Is this the best approach? I would love suggestions on approaching this section.

Would someone be able to help me out with this one? I didn't trust the correct AC from the beginning because I thought it was too much of a sufficient assumption. I know something can be both sufficient and necessary but this question just really got me.

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone else found their RC score dropped after they started taking online PTs? I started with physical LSATs, but switched to taking them online to simulate the flex layout. I feel like RC is much more difficult without being able to track viewpoints, tone, arguments, and main points directly on paper. Any advice for annotating on the digital LSAT?

This is the only section that has given me issues since day one, and it's the reason I can't do well on this test. My highest official score has been a 164, but I know I can hit the 170s if I figure out what I'm doing wrong with LR. I've read every book, have seen every LR question in existence. I have no idea how to crack this section.

Can someone please provide me with LR guidance? I am planning on taking the June test. I'd be grateful just to score a -5 consistently. Right now, I'm scoring about -11. I've done every PT in existence as well. I'm just stuck and I don't know how to properly study LR without fresh PTs.

Thank you so much.

Mistaking sufficiency/necessity flaw

I've been making steady progress on the flaw/descriptive weakening portion of the curriculum however something just isn't clicking with "the oldest trick in the book." The PT30 S4 Q14 wrecked me and it's especially frustrating because I had the flaw anticipated but I just couldn't make sense of what I suspected was the correct answer choice.

I think I need to go back to the drawing board and review the core lessons on sufficiency and necessity because it's not coming very naturally in terms of translating it all back to English especially when denial of the sufficient or necessary happens. I was wondering if anyone had some of those lessons bookmarked because I can't seem to find the ones I remember doing awhile ago and if anyone had any recommendations on dealing with these issues that might've worked for them?

I have had 7Sagers reach out regarding LG and many of them are at the -4/-5 range. A common thing I am seeing is that they are not BRing like they were in the beginning. BRing take on another role in LG once we have been doing it for a while. Yes when you are many PTs in and you can do sequencing games in BR at 100% accuracy what's the point of spending the extra time? The extra time put in is to help you speed up and make inferences even faster and thus allowing more time on harder games. Treat the simple games like you would the more difficult because you can get faster and maybe you can shave 10 seconds then 30 then 40 seconds off the easy games by seeing them and working them over to get everything out of them. Maybe this comes from knowing pressure points better and being able to cross out answer before even trying them. Or just setting up 1 master game board and because you are so proficient at the game now you would not need to draw another game board and you can see the answers "in your mind's eye" and if there is time after completing the section you can do double check. Just because we can complete the easy games at the time recommended does not mean we should ease up on the intensity of the game. If it is a simple sequencing and all the rules make one chain and it only has 5 questions I can do it between 3-3:30 with 100% and this allows me to gain 1 full minute or more to work on the harder games to come, and sometimes the extra seconds and minutes we bank on the easy is the difference between -0 and -3. This is because the set up normally takes X amount of time regardless of the number of questions. For example you are in the last game and there are 6 questions left and you have ten minutes. Set up takes 4 minutes because its a hard game and you did a partial split, now there is only 6 minutes for 6 questions, not a bad scenario, until there is not a single question that gives you an extra rule to work with now those extra 2 minutes would allow you to get to the last 2ish questions.

I realize that is an extreme example but I hear it all the time, "if I only had 2 more minutes." Plus having extra time going into games allows us to relax and not make mistakes because of our test day anxiety and feeling rushed.

How might I further increase my RC accuracy?

Hello all, I'm having trouble with the word usually in LR questions. Can anyone point me to the section that covers this term, if any?

Thanks

Can you use scratch paper for LR on the LSAT Flex, or is it only acceptable during LG? Is there a specified amount you can have on test day?

Is A always permits B

A->B?

or B-> A?

Thanks for any help with this.

Hi all! I'm hitting my target score on Blind Review, but the logic games are killing me on timed PTs. Once I blind review I tend to get all the logic games correct, sometimes -1, but it just takes me way longer than 35 minutes. I just can't finish all four games in time. How do I get faster?

Does anybody have any tips on executing this skill or is able to point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Does any one have any tips to help me improve my score on strengthening questions in LR? I don't know why I can't seem to get it.

Anyone use Elemental Prep tutoring for Logic Games?

Looking to hear people's experiences/feedback/etc.

How is E right if in G's assertion's says that an equal number of photographers, sculptors and painters submitted work that met the traditional criteria for the show?

I'm sure this has been covered before so I apologize in advance for the redundancy...but I'm having serious second thoughts about writing April 2021 and was hoping to get some good advice:

I've been studying curriculum for about 4mo, and within the last month and a half moved to practice exams. I can grasp the concepts in theory but when it comes to practice I miss the execution. As a result my scores are wildly all over the place, ranging from 162 to my raw score of 147. I'm a bit dejected by the trend in my scores and the general anxiety I'm feeling ahead of April isn't helping my confidence much more.

I'm at a point where I'm weighing the cost/benefits of the uncertainty going into April vs. delaying the inevitable in hope of a consistent score. I'm planning on applying next cycle for what its worth.

Would appreciate any perspective on this, thanks! -A

Hi everyone. I had difficulty seeing which sentence was the conclusion in this question (the Guam/spider one). I know the first sentence is context. Thank you!
