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!

Any idea whether test takers are allowed to use a touch screen laptop & stylus pen for the LSAT Flex? My reading comprehension & overall performance is much better when I can use the pen.

Is anyone else finding the LR sections of the 80s PTs drastically harder? I cannot figure out what is happening here.. Is this indicative of the January 2021 test, if so this might be highly problematic for me.

Before entering the PT's in the 80's, I used to blaze through the LR questions and would get -4/-5. Obviously, not perfect but a solid result.

But once I entered the 80's, my LR started dipping and I end up getting -7 to -9. I took a step back and tried to see what's going on.

I'm starting to find that a lot of the flaws and assumptions in LR in the 80's are still the same, but they are disguised with more convoluted language, both in the stimulus and in the answers. This has forced me to have to slow down now and really untangle the language in both the stimulus and answers now.

Is this something people have noticed or am I just going crazy? Lol.

I used to love blazing through the sections, but am wondering if I need to slow down now to attain accuracy on the more recent PT's.

Hey all,

I will be taking the Flex next Tuesday and understand that soft foam earplugs are allowed. I will be taking advantage of this because I have been studying with ear plugs but had a few questions, as I want my test to go smoothly.

In LSAC's guidelines they say ear plugs are allowed so long as you can hear the proctor, this shouldn't be an issue as I can usually hear myself typing but during a timed test that requires extreme focus, I'm just trying to avoid any fuss.

If anyone else has advice or suggestions regarding proctors or the flex please don't hesitate to leave it below for myself or someone else. Thanks and good luck everyone!

Is there a way to underline/highlight on 7Sage's RC passages?

I have done so many MSS questions and I am continuing to always get them wrong. Even easy ones. I feel like there isn't a great lesson on how to really execute MSS questions. With Must be True types, we can "fact check" and with other types there are ongoing reasoning structures that we can rely on. With MSS, I feel like they are so ambiguous. I always get to the last two answer choices and then guess wrong. With MSS, there so many ways to reason out of the right answer choices. Any good advice on how to tackle MSS? Thanks!

I started out my studying by focusing on LR and LG and seem to be doing alright on them. I didn't spend any time on RC because I thought how hard can it be. But now that I am doing Prep tests it is by far my worst section and brings my whole score down by quite alot. I find alot of the questions are so detail oriented and I'm just focusing on the main point and trying to retain whatever information I can. Even when I start a Prep Test now and see RC as my first section it ruins the entire flow of my exam because I know I'm doing horribly at it. Does anyone else find RC hard or is it just me??

How is it E not A??

Hi all! I'm taking the LSAT Flex on Saturday and am curious about how cleaned out/empty your testing room must be? Of course I've gone over the rules and requirements, but should the room be totally empty? Anyone have experience with proctors giving them a hard time? Desk space will be completely clear but I will have a filing cabinet behind me, a few pieces of furniture, etc.

When do you do the writing sample? I'm taking the LSAT Flex on Sunday, but don't really understand the writing section at all.

Hi all!

I have been getting around -4 to -6 per LR section, and have discovered that around 2/3 of my errors are due to misreading.

This, in turn, might be due to timing issues (but could be something else).

I was wondering whether anyone has dealt with a similar issue, and whether you might have any solutions.

Thanks!

The question stem says, "The argument above makes which one of the following assumptions?"

This was labeled a Necessary Assumption question.

Wondering how to tell when a question is NA/SA when it doesn't explicitly say in the question stem? Or maybe I am just missing something in the question stem?

Just took the LSAT writing and completely forgot to show my scratch paper. It completely slipped my mind since I decided to re-record my room scan because I did not feel that the first room scan was sufficient. I realized that I forgot to show my scratch paper as soon as I clicked next. I thought that I could still use my scratch paper if I just held it up to the camera when my test started, but I wasn't sure so I decided not to show the scratch paper and DID NOT use the scratch paper at all. I thought that maybe the way I approached it would be okay, but now that I think about it I am unsure. Does anyone have any thoughts?

By making diagrams for the LR questions, especially the Parallel Method of Reasoning or Sufficient Assumption ones: I get more questions correct in LR. But this causes me to run out of time, and guessing the remaining questions hurts my scores.

Is it a good practice to diagram whenever possible, or do I need to be able to visualize these diagrams mentally, instead of taking the time to write them out?

Hi everyone,

I am not taking anymore PTs so I do not get burnt out but would like to continue doing sections and BRing. I heard that LSAC will be using 'older' non-disclosed LSATs but does anyone which PTs would be most similar to January expectations?

I also remember the Powerscore podcast from November making predictions but not sure if they are applicable to January.

Good luck to everyone and thank you 7sagers.

Hi All! I will be taking the writing portion this week, is there any recs on how to tackle this part of the exam?

So I'm good at LR and LG and got to a point where the main questions I miss are stupid mistakes.

Unfortunately, I just suck at RC. I am good at it when I like the topic, and have knowledge about it, so I guess on the LSAT there is a POSSIBILITY I could do well, but far too often I miss 2-3 questions a section, which is obviously not good.

I've tried reading slowly and taking comprehensive notes. I've tried whipping through it taking no notes. Both gave me kind of crappy results. I know what the Kaplan Method is but I feel like it's too tedious for me to actually do on test day.

Has anyone else found out how to successfully get RC questions right?

I have made strides with RC but have noticed that the Qs I am missing are all inference Qs. What should I do differently to tackle inference Qs? Are the AC's typically weaker since we are making inferences?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I recently read somewhere that it helps to do LR sections in under less time than 35 minutes (let's say maybe 32 minutes). For people with more experience in LR, what's your opinion on this?

Do you think it's something worth trying? And if you've tried it before did you find success in applying that method?

Thanks!!

I am currently BRing steadily in -2. In today's practice section I got -2 timed and untimed, but my timed score fluctuates depending on whether I finish everything on time or not. I wondering if applying this method could force me to be faster.

Hey all!

Just wanted to get everyones take on what reading comp has been like for November flex takers.

I have found RC in the 80s particularly difficult and it is really bringing down my vibe right before the test. I just took PT88 and did well on LR & Games but was destroyed in RC. I'm a bit concerned because I know LG was supposed to be the hard section on this test....

I am awful at reading comp. I am not really grasping what is being read and its honestly boring. LR and games im good at
