I am taking the October Flex and I have a question about the LSAT writing. I took the LSAT last July, when it first became digital and cancelled my score after being able to see it. I have an LSAT writing on record on the lsac website from 7/15/19, which I am able to read. It also gives me an option to "launch lsat writing" for this October test....do I need to do a new lsat writing section or can the one I already have on file be used?

Recently on a reddit post I found people saying it was okay to use command F on the flex test for RC and refer back to a specific part on a passage. This sounded kind of "sus" to me but I wanted to make sure and ask people here that might know. But if it is allowed that would be a major hack for myself and I'm sure many others, as I often have an idea of what a question is referring too and all i need is a way to quickly go back to that exact part in the passage and confirm my thoughts.

Does anyone know how likely you are to get a Misc Game on the test? I'm worried if I get one it will mess up my whole section. How can you practice for Misc Games?

I know it might be a little late but did anyone else have the August RC section with the bee's passage and the patriotism/ecocentrism comparative passage? I'm starting to think that it was one of the hardest reading comp sections I've ever seen and am wondering how others felt about it? The comparative passage could've been written in Sumerian and I would've had a better shot. Did anyone have this section and do well?

I am coming up on my October LSAT, and my RC scores have started to slip. I'm not quite sure how to tackle this! I think the PTs in the 70s and 80s are turning up the heat a bit with the questions, but I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for reviewing my tests, remembering details, etc...I am watching the question explanations for the questions I'm missing, but it doesn't seem to be making a difference.

I so, so, so appreciate any advice that you can offer!!!

Hey,

Just an observation I've had. My logic games prep has been really focused on 1-35 with some 40s and recently some low 50s mixed in.

I've been working very hard on these earlier games for about 2 months, and have made a lot of progress. I started out totally sucking at games (-14 diagnostic) and through foolproofing, or a version of it, have gotten to -4 average or so, and still improving.

A few recent problem sets have totally killed me with conditional sequencing though, and I realized that this game type is very uncommon in early games, increasing in frequency (though still relatively rare) in later games.

Are there other trends like this to be aware of, in games specifically (besides substitution questions)?

I am having trouble deciphering between answer choices especially determining if an answer choice is too strong or too weak, Any suggestions on how I can improve?

Hey all, I am new to 7sage and just created and took my first problem set, made up of questions from PT 1 logical reasoning qs. In the review portion, I only see "discuss" under explanation. How do I find the answer key/explanations for questions? When I look under the "explanation videos" I only see logic games and reading comp sections. Thanks!

Help Improving LR and RC Score

I wanted to know if anyone had any tips for improving LR and RC scores? I am currently getting -9 to -11 for LR, and around the same for RC. I also am finding that I will sometimes miss easy ones on LR, but when I review, I don't understand why I missed it in the first place. And for RC, I feel like I understand the passage, but I get tripped up during the questions. #help

"Unless" question

When a sentence begins with "Unless", does the beginning of that sentence become the necessary condition, and you would then negate the second half of the sentence? #help

RC Strategy?

Does anyone have a good RC strategy?

My LR is around +22 on average. I just completed my LG strategy attack and I'm now getting +17 versus my previous +13. I'm still working on my accuracy with LG but now am incorporating RC into the mix before I take a practice test sometime this month. I'm taking about 10 minutes per passage + questions, which I know is too long, and I'm missing 10 questions on the whole section generally so clearly my 10 minutes per passage isn't time well spent.

If anyone knows of a method similar to @"Cant Get Right" LG strategy attack but for RC, please share!

Thanks!

RC - LSAT Flex in a week

I am taking the flex exam on the 8th and RC is currently my worst section, probably because I've spent 99% of my time working on LR and LG. I have trouble retaining the information so have to read again and then lose time. On my most recent PT I got -4 LR and -2 LG, should I focus on keeping improving those or should I spend some time doing RC drills?

Hi! Does anyone know what is the best way to drill for correlation and causation questions? I am having a really hard time grasping that concept even after going through the core curriculum. I need more practice. If you know of a list of prep test questions about causation and correlation OR if you have any suggestions for drills please let me know!

RC reading on screen

Hi everyone - just wondering if anyone else has trouble with doing RC on a computer screen. In general, I prefer to read things physically printed out (actual books, magazines, newspapers, etc). I notice that my focus is better and I retain more information. Since the LSAT is all online, I bought a tablet to acclimate myself to reading longer passages on a screen. Now that the LSAT is Flex and I can't use tablets, I'm finding that doing RC on my computer screen has been terrible for focus and info retention. I know I just have to keep practicing and getting used to it, but does anyone else have this issue and can suggest ways to get over it? Thanks!

PT9 S2 Q9

I understand the conclusion is saying that the airlines should remove seats that impede the exit because many fatalities are due to the cabin design of the seats. Here is my issue, many = some.. so when I look at it this way maybe 1 collision is like this so maybe it is something else.. so if you know it isn't the seat belts then that would strengthen. I had A then changed it to E in my BR because of this.

When taking a PT Flex, the reading comprehension setting allow you to use a fixed ratio vs. unfixed ratio. I've found that leaving the ratio unfixed helps me to grasp the content of the passage better because I don't have to scroll to find what I'm looking for. Does anyone know if the actual flex has this same settings option, or something similar?

Does anyone have any particularly open ended games with a lot of rules to recommend for practice? I find myself getting a bit intimidated when there isn't that much that one can map out up front, so more practice with these would be helpful.
