How is it E not A??

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.

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?

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've seen so many people discussing this but can anyone explain what this to me? From my understand I should keep my phone with me and then they will let you turn it off and put it across the room?

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....

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?

the LRs in the 80s are killing me.

anyone who has taken the previous flex tests, was the LR as difficult as the 80s?

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! I've finished the LG curriculum and am currently redoing the problem sets I got wrong. One of the things I struggle with is figuring out when to let the questions drive the inferences. I only do this once I've spent 5-10 minutes trying to figure things out and moving to the questions in defeat. Is there a way to build this intuition?

Thanks!

I can't remember where I saw it, but I remember seeing something about not being able to move the cursor during an exam and only being able to use arrow keys. Is that correct? I hope not as I like to move my cursor throughout a stimulus or passage. Thank you to anyone who answers!

I chose C for this one because I wasn't sure about any of them. Can someone explain why the answer is D?

I was trying to contrapose it back but because the stimulus has an "or" statement that confused me when I was diagramming it.

The reason why I didn't choose D is that even though the bookstore does not have exclusive access to a specialized market, I thought that since it could cater to mass tastes and be still be profitable.

What do you think?? What's the best way to answer this question??

On both my last two PT's, I misread or altogether missed a rule during LG that cost me a lot of time before I realized my mistake. I am really worried about this happening to me during the real test. It happens to me very frequently and can make an easy game feel completely mystifying. Does anyone have any strategies for how to avoid doing this? I know the obvious answer is to slow down, but I feel the need to move fast since I am very slow when it comes to LG. I usually never get to the fourth game in time.

I just registered for my time slot for the January test but have yet received my writing sample. Has anyone else received their writing sample already?

Some critics say it's unfair that so many great works of art are in huge city museums, since those people already have access to lots of art.

But this is unwarranted because there are so few masterpieces that distributing them more widely is impractical.

Plus, if a masterpiece is to be fully appreciated, it must be seen along other works that provide context for it.

I chose B here because I thought that people would benefit most from getting a full appreciation of the art, and that distributing them more widely would diminish that appreciation for more people.

I mostly understand why D is right, but does the last sentence of the stimulus play any role in answer choice D??

Also can anyone explain why my thinking for B was wrong? Thanks!

The stimulus talks about the number of visits per representative decreasing from 640 to 501, but does that mean the number of visits per pharmacist decreased as well? Is it possible the number of visits per pharmacist from these representatives possibly remained the same or even increased depending on the number of representatives working for these manufacturers? Can the number of visits per representative be equated to the number of visits per pharmacist?

So for me, the mic and camera are fine but the issue is that apparently my computer settings can't be read because it can't connect to the ProctorU system servers and I don't have the ProctorU Extension version. When I went to download it, the sheer level of invasiveness and lack of privacy warning I got before downloading it was extremely concerning. I want to make sure my set up works well before the test itself so I can resolve any issues that may appear, but the privacy issue above, along with what other students were saying in the reviews about not being able to take their exams with the auto proctor makes me wonder if there is possibly any way to avoid having to download that extension? Anyone facing a similar dilemma or have suggestions??

Hi everyone! I'm taking the Jan flex on the 15th and would love some last-minute study tips.

I've noticed a strange pattern where all my PTs prior to 70, I'm getting 171+. Unfortunately I burned thru PTs 71-81 early in my studying, so I don't have those as a frame of reference-- But any PTs I'm taking past 82 I'm consistently stumbling on questions across sections. (Most recent observations is I'm hitting major issues in LR and LG, getting -6 on each when I usually get -2 to -3.)

Has anyone else had similar issues, and any broader ideas on resolving (besides just drilling specific issues I overlooked on a question-to-question basis)?

In this passage, I picked D because I interpreted Rito using the phrase "serious underestimates" as the severity of the underestimate of the raw numbers, while Hiro uses “surely underestimate” as an acceptance that there is an underestimate but not necessarily accepting of the severity of it.

When I reviewed JY's reasoning, he said that they both thought it was serious, which I can't really seem to understand how it can be interpreted as such.

Can someone help me find out where in my thought process I went wrong? My second choice was the correct answer, and I should have focused on the conclusions in this one, but I need help seeing how both thought it was a serious underestimate. Thanks!

Check your emails!

Hello everyone,

I hope everyone is on track on their studies.

I am a Canadian from Toronto, Ontario and so far I have not yet received an email from LSAC to sign up for the proctor u.

Anyone else facing this issue in Canada or anyone in general?

Why Jan LSAT Flex is on19th and 20 in KST time? Wasn't it supposed to be 16th and 17th? Moreover, there was not any announcement they were going to change the dates? I'm a little confused tho.. so I wonder is it all on19-20th for you guys?

Can you use the negation rule (as we do in NA) in SA?

Hello - was anyone able to sign up for a time on the 18th (ET timezone)? I only saw availability on 16th, 17th and 19th.

I'm taking the Jan flex and usually score between -3 or worst -5 on games. I know I have the capacity to get to -1/-0 and want to maximize this before my test!

To all you high scorers: wondering if there are any particular games that you would recommend focusing on and exhausting? I'm pretty good at in and out (I've exhausted the CD game and feel quite confident with the logic behind it) I am now going to be focusing on sequencing and grouping games.

I am also wondering how you confront the feeling of nerves from a setup you've never seen before. I tend to freak myself out as soon as I see a misc game and start to shoot myself in the foot lol

Please let me know if you have any advice for me :)

Total side note: i tanked on PT 84 and just feel like there is no way to be consistent in RC (which is what inspired this post) let me know if anyone else thought 84 was particularly difficult lol
