Hiya, I know that nearly all of us are wanting to save as much time as possible on Logic Games. One of the biggest issues I face is always have to redraw long diagrams for new questions on linear sequencing games. I just spent a ton of time on one where I had to draw out a table with 8 bases. It looked like this (with a number underneath):

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Commonly, I'd have to redraw the base line again for a new question or when a possibility didn't work out. However, you can save time by doing this: instead of having to redraw the base points again, you can use the spaces above and below the table you've already created. Just be sure to scratch out the work that was erroneous to avoid confusion.

Basically draw again at the arrows I make and you can use one base up to three times or more. This may not work on multilayered linear sequencing games or you may be able to find a way around it.

--> (stack another above, you can keep stacking)

--> (one on the actual spaces)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

--> (or use below, but you may want to keep this space open to impossibilities)

Anyway, I hope this helps some of you save some precious time on the LSAT! Good luck!

Anyone know some good games with both repeating elements and conditionals (like games 3 and 4 from PT 87) that I can practice before Sunday?

Could someone explain why D is wrong and A is right?

I initially chose D because it said "Parents are given vouchers" and "to attract students."

I thought students could be attracted, but then that doesn't mean that they would attend the school, because it's up to the parents.

Hi I did one full section on PT80 (one LR section) and I want my answers without completing the other sections is that possible? Or do we have to complete the whole test to see results?

I can never get below -3 on both LR and RC :( for the past 5 tests my scores in lr and rc have been more or less -3 each and -0 lg usually saves my ass. Can someone give me some advice on how to not miss easy questions :( my main problem is with missing easy questions that i should not be missing

Hey all!

I am pretty in-tune with when to split grouping game boards based off my own instincts, however I just took PT 85 Game 1 (a sequencing game) and tried to split that game board thinking I could do it off the "T in 1/7" and "T7 -> R1" rule.

Anyways, it's a pretty easy game but after realizing I couldn't split it effectively, it became rather difficult under time pressures.

I was wondering for anyone who particularly likes/specializes in sequencing games: if it's a game with a lot of precise rules and no clear split do you just head straight into the questions? And do you have any tips on what to look for in order to tell if you should try splitting under timed conditions for a sequencing game?

I feel as though there is usually a clear split for grouping games (emphasis on usually), but I would love to know everyone else's thoughts on if it is more common than not, to not split a sequencing game given that there are usually more spots?

just thought I would ask so I can get comfortable with the idea of not splitting!

please let me know if anything above makes no sense lol, just finished a heavy day of studying

Hi everyone! For the Flex, I know people use a phone camera during the check-in process to show what their computer looks like. Does anyone know whether I can use a small handheld mirror to do this instead?? Thank you!

I'm testing on Saturday, and I'm just wondering when I should stop studying? I took a PT Sunday and did well, so I feel really confident going into the test. Should I leave it on that note or take on more tomorrow? Maintaining that sense of confidence is really important for me going into Saturday, so I'm worried another PT might somehow mess with that if for some reason it doesn't go as hoped, but I don't know if it's a bad idea to have 6 days between my last PT and the real thing. I've still been doing some light studying and will continue to do so probably through Thursday, but I really can't decide whether or not to test one more time, so any advice would be appreciated.

How long is the Lsat flex and how long is each section? for those that did flex already.

I would really appreciate any advice!! I'm retaking the LSAT this weekend after taking it back in July. I got a decent score the first time I took it but it really isn't what I wanted and I was convinced I could do better. I have been dealing with a lot of test anxiety so I don't think I've prepared to the best of my ability for the January Flex (the anxiety kind of makes me not want to study if that makes sense?) but at the same time I'm not sure what more I can even do.

I'm scoring 2-3 points above my July score which still isn't where I want it to be. At this point I don't know if I should just take it this weekend and go with the score I've got or if I should withdraw and take a break from studying/LSAT stuff in general and try again over the summer. I'm not applying during this admissions cycle so I'm not restricted to taking it now. I also really just want to be done and not have to go through studying and stressing about it again but I also am not content with the PT scores I have.

I have been studying since July 2020 (160 diagnostic) and I took the November test and got a 166 after having scored in the 170s a handful of times. I know that I can do better so I studied through December and until 10 days ago, I thought I was ready to kill it. In the PTs that I've taken after the November exam I have averaged a 174 in 10 PTs. However the last two tests that I have taken have been 166s. I am not sure if I should take the exam this month (I'm registered for the 19th) or postpone another month. Has anyone else experienced something like this? Please let me know what your advice is. I would appreciate any insight as I need to decide if I'm rescheduling before the 15th.

Hey everyone,

I hope you’re all keeping safe and healthy!

I’m writing the January Flex and I’m wondering if there’s anything I need to download before my test (MacBook user)? Do I just sign onto my ProctorU before my test and it’ll load me to a screen? Please let me know about your experiences :)

Any advice would be appreciated. This is my first time taking the flex (3rd time taking the lsat overall) and I’ve basically been studying every day since June 2020, like studying has become my full time job for the past 6 months. Initially, I started at a score of 143 and, to my dismay, I’ve been PTing around 157/158 (using the flex option on 7Sage) but My blind review is always 174-177. I’m aiming for a 170+ score but constantly getting in the 150s has seriously hit my confidence. I want to apply for fall 2021, and I’m debating whether I should switch it to feb to give myself another month to improve or if I should just chill out these next few days and take it on Saturday

Hi everyone, I'm a bit confused as to why for PT May 2020, 7sage does not list the level of difficulty for each of the questions. Yet, JY has posted explanations for every question for the test. Anyone have an idea why the difficulty levels are missing?

I've done the CC and completed the problem sets but I'm just unable to crack this section. Please help.

Why is the main point (D) "research effort" and not (A) it is probably technologically possible to alter the climate?

Facts:

1.) We found titanium in 2 Bibles: (JG and B-36)

2.) Titanium in 15th century Vinland Map (purportedly)

Conclusion: B-36 must have been printed by JG and Vinland Map is from 15th century

Flaw:

Is it wrong for the stimulus to conclude the B-36 Bible must have been printed by JG because that assumes Titanium was rare enough so that it can be traced back to a specific printer? But I don't see what is wrong with using Titanium to prove VMap is authentic. Does VMap have any relationship with JG?

When the president of the company responds that the number of salespeople passed over has declined, does that mean the total number of salespeople must have declined over the last fifteen years as well? Is that an additional assumption along with C?

Anyone have thoughts on if it would be more beneficial to start with the last questions of LR and then go the first when taking practice tests since the last ones are harder than the first?

I came to post this question and noticed that someone just posted a very similar question a few minutes ago. That said, I feel my question is sufficiently (y'all see that LSAT language creeping in) different to still go ahead and post it up.

For background, I have never completed an LG section under timed conditions.

I wonder, for those of you who have overcome the same dilemma, do you have any tips that seemed to bridge the gap between Finishing and Not Finishing the LG section. I often get through only 11-12 questions, so needless to say my score is a disaster.

I write this partially because I had the same issue with RC and LR sections until very, very recently. What helped me was to realize there is almost no possibility to take the foot off the gas on this test, and instead to just go all out flooring it at blazing speed (probably 2-3x beyond my max "comprehensible" reading speed). Which actually gave me a lot of confidence and seems to have helped my score at least in the short term. My analogy is like getting on a fast-moving highway: there's no room at all to slow down.

For LG I can't use the same approach, because there is literally no way to go faster without first at least trying to figure out what's going on. Put differently, in LG the questions are more "symbolic" in nature, vs just purely dense linguistically. So like without being able to formulate and organize the symbols properly, there's no way to speed up. Meanwhile, I find myself taking too long to diagram, too long to analyze each question, and often, just getting totally lost in there. The analogy is, I need to get onto the highway, but halfway up the on-ramp, I realize one tire is totally flat.... Meanwhile there is a car speeding by!!! (I guess that would be the car that y'all are in!!!) So my confidence is pretty deflated on this front. But I am trying to keep it positive!!! Especially since the January LSAT is the last possible test for this application cycle for my target school. And I cannot get the necessary (LSAT language again) score while leaving half the LG section with pure guesses. Please help if you find it in your heart to do so!!!!!!!!! God bless!!!!!!!!!!

Hey all!

I am taking the Jan Flex next Tuesday and, as a nervous test taker, I often feel like I won't reach my potential because I don't believe that I can. So, I wanted to share an article that helped me reduce my own negative energy and anxiety over the weekend, in the hopes of helping someone else who is feeling similarly with test day approaching.

I truly believe your mindset is your greatest asset. The only thing stopping you from achieving that 180, 170, 160 (or whatever else it may be on test day!) are the limits you set on yourself...so, don't set limits on your capabilities!

The article is below and it's a really great read for anyone working on a goal.

Happy studying!

Hi what would you guys recommend for reading faster ?

How is "homelessness as a social problem" compatible to accepting/denying the conclusion?

I understand why the answer was D, but need a good reason to keep me from picking an answer like A. in the future....I was going back and forth between A and D and selected A last minute.

Hi everyone,

I've just completed the MP and MSS lessons and was wondering...what do you all do when you 96% understand a lesson? I did some custom problem sets from the question bank, and was getting all right except 1 or 2 of the ones designated "hard" or "hardest" every section...do I move on to the next lesson? Do I stay here on MP and MSS? What else can I do to make sure I 100% understand this before moving on?

Thanks!
