If anyone is or knows a tutor who would be willing to help, it would be greatly appreciated. Any sort of pricing is fine with me, as I have saved up a reasonable amount in preparation for a moment such as this.

I have been studying LSAT in general for more than a year and a half now and at least feel that I have a sound understanding of how LG works, but I have become inconsistent in my daily studies. I have been trying to get to the point where I know I can tackle most logic games in time, and reliably only miss a maximum of 4-5 on each LG section I take, but that has not been the case thus far. Like I said, I feel I have a sound understanding of how games work, it just seems that whenever one is put in front of me, I don't deliver. I do understand that not being consistent enough is very detrimental in LG especially, but I have been trying to recover from a crazy semester and let my mind be at ease. With that being said, I am ready to get back at every day consistency and am looking to score in the high 150s to the low 160s, so mastering LG would be huge for that score. Any help or referrals are greatly appreciated and everyone have a great end of the year.

I tend to struggle with parallel flaw questions.. I was so confused on this question because I was focused on matching up the negatives.

Great medieval universities ---> /administrators

/administrators ---> longevity

I chose A, even though I didn't love it. I ruled out B because that answer choice said that we should also get a computer to be successful, but I thought the answer choice would have to recommend NOT having something, like the stimulus.

Is my thinking incorrect here? With parallel questions, do the negatives/positives not always match up? I guess instead I should have thought of "no administrators" as "a certain characteristic that helps longevity" rather than "not A," right?

And is A wrong because the point of the stimulus isn't that just that a certain characteristic is not necessary for the ideal outcome, but rather that characteristic SHOULD be adopted BECAUSE it is the reason for the ideal outcome? The author is mistakenly assuming that the lack of administrators was necessary/responsible for the longevity of great medieval universities?

Thanks!!

Stimulus:

If the public library was moved from Redville to Glenwood, then the library would be within walking distance of a larger number of users.

Because:

-More people live in Glenwood than Redville

-People only walk to the library if it's close to their home

Was stuck between A and B for this one. Can someone explain why it's not A and why the answer is B? Here's my attempt:

A) - Maybe relocating the library to Glenwood would put the library within reach of a whole new segment of the population, so the fact that more people who currently walk to the library live in Redville doesn't matter?

B) - This is literally a direct comparison of how many people would use the library in Redville vs. Greenville if it was located in their respective areas, so this is the correct answer?

Would it be smart to fool proof entire game sections at once or is that too much memorization to handle effectively?

Hello-

I am working through the MBT questions and was wondering if a "chain logic" for example X -> B -> C -> D contrapositive is just the "inverse of the logical chain" making it /D -> /C -> /B -> /X

I realize that is kind of hard to read, but basically.....

if X then B then C then D

contrapositive would be:

if not D then not C then not B then not X

Hey! I have some questions involving the proctoring guidelines for the January LSAT. I know which items I am allowed/not allowed to have at the table with me during the test, but don't have much info about what else is prohibited, if anything. I live in a small cottage where my living room/ dining room is connected with my kitchen, so my TV is technically in the same room that I will be taking the test. Will this be allowed? Is there anything else I need to know? I am trying to do everything I can to make sure I avoid any complications on test day.

Thanks!

Did the time slots come out yet for Asia? I haven't heard anything from LSAC.

Also it's the week of the 19th correct?

Hi all.

I'm very much struggling with RC, to the point where I just don't know what to do. I've tried memory method and it seems like I've only regressed on RC since I started studying. I'm a high 160s low 170s scorer but RC has consistently kept me from improving my score overall. If you know of any reasonably priced tutors I'd greatly appreciate it (as I am a broke college student already).

I just can't seem to get the hang of it... any help would be appreciated at this point.

I am struggling quite a bit with weaken questions. Are you able to offer any advice on how best to approach and solve these, and maybe share your method for how you get these ones right? Thanks so much!!! #help

Hello! I am generally pretty proficient with logic games, usually -1, -2, but occasionally a game really messes up my slightly dyslexic brain...especially if the game pieces have both M/W or G/J, I'll realize wayyy into doing the game that I've totally messed it all up with these mix-ups. Does anyone else experience this and/or have any tricks? Do you think the LSAT does this on purpose to trip us up?

I'm planning on taking the January LSAT but might push back the date.

I can see why the other ACs are wrong, but I am having a difficult time seeing how C is absolutely correct. The stimulus states that water is being wasted and that the gov't was giving the industry a break. Therefore, tighter control would lead to ceasing inefficient use. Is "cease" really the key detail here? Are ACs like these common?

I do not even know where to begin with the ACs.

I understand the stimulus as a theater recently closed because the owner claimed that it could not regularly sustain an audience. Then a week prior to the closure, massive profit resulted.

None of the ACs to me make any close parallel to the flaw that I am clearly not able to identify in this question.

I was thinking, "turns out that the people actually appreciated the theater"?

Is that in the same spirit of AC C?

What is the best way to improve Logic Games performance? My issue is lacking speed. I have been re-doing Logic Game problem sets, but have run into the problem of running out of problems to do. I did poorly on the last actual LSAT in November as result.

I am taking the Jan LSAT and scoring well on LG and LR but RC keeps dragging me down. What is the best way to boost my RC score with just over two weeks until test day?

I am unsure why D is correct over E. I am assuming that E makes a flaw through its logic statement?

I am stuck between the two answer choices. The other three seem pretty obvious as to why they are incorrect. However, what sets AC C and D apart? I can't seem to identify where in the stimulus it points to the right answer.

Hello 7Sagers,

I have always read the question stem first. But, both the LSAT Demon and the Loophole have the opinion of never reading the question stem first. What are your opinions on this subject? Specifically for those scoring 170+, what are your opinions?

Im taking the Jan2021 LSAT and when i do preptests, my blind review score is constantly better than my actual score (usually 150s actual score and 170s BR). My last PT my actual score was 153 and my blind review score was 177. Anybody have any suggestions on how to improve my score under timed conditions?

Can someone break down their thought process for this question for me? I can't seem to be able to read this question as is required. I picked E.

I was reviewing JY's video about approaching parallel flaw reasoning questions in the core curriculum. My favorite commenter @"Accounts Playable" made a comment that I thought would be interesting to answer and/or discuss here.

For parallel reasoning questions, sometimes the stem says that their is a flaw in the argument while others don’t. For the ones that do, obviously there is a flaw. For the ones that don’t is this evidence that the argument is valid? Or could these have flaws as well?

If my understanding is correct, a question stem that asks us to identity the parallel reasoning does not have a flawed argument in the stimulus whereas a question stem that asks us to identify the parallel flaw reasoning does have a flawed argument in the stimulus.

Thanks all!

PT66.S2.Q20

(C) All actions that fulfill moral obligations are performed in order to fulfill moral obligations.

These two words, 'all' and 'in order to' are indicating sufficient.

Then which part is sufficient in this sentence?

Hi everyone!

#help

I'm a bit lost on these 2 problems.

For No. 3, I'm a bit lost on the wording of what the question is asking for. Am I supposed to look for the answer that gives the other pieces no other options?

No. 4 has the same issue with how the question is worded. Am I supposed to see which pieces can have 2 different spaces?

Thanks for reading and hope everyone that reads had a great and safe holiday. :)

Hi all,

I'm taking the January exam and am currently scoring between -5 and -7 on logic games during the timed test, but usually get down to -1 or -2 in BR. Does anyone have any advice for getting closer to the BR numbers on test day? I usually get the game board/inferences down okay, but I just can't seem to visualize it all in my head. I do so well on BR because I literally write out each scenario to make sure it's the right solution, which obviously takes way more time than I have timed lol. Any strategies or study suggestions are much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone and Merry Christmas!

It is impossible for me to obtain a score higher than 14 on the RC section. Can anyone suggest how to improve on this section? Any tricks, tips, and advise would be appreciated. Thank you!

I am drilling reading comprehension and I average around -11 timed, not able to finish answer questions, to getting around -3/-4 untimed. I feel like I take forever.

Any tips on bridging the gap? Completing all passages on time? Links to your favorite resources or tips already mentioned in discussion forums?

Thank you very much in advance.
