Anyone else feel like the difficulty on the earlier LR sections has an ENORMOUS variance? PT6 LR1, for example, went -0, with time to spare; PT6 LR2 on the other hand was hands down one of the hardest LRs I've seen!! (in my opinion).. somehow walked out of there with a -4, which I'm super proud of given the perceived difficulty of that section.

Anyone else feel this way???

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!

Trying to really grind on RC section before Nov 7 - does anyone maybe have a list of really difficult RC sections from previous exams? There's so many organized people on 7Sage, I would think this info is out there somewhere lol...

Hi! I've been practicing with the 4-section PrepTests and I always leave the second LR section for last, since there's not going to be two LR sections in the Flex test. However, I almost invariably find myself doing considerably worse in the second LR section. Could this just be fatigue, or does anyone else find the 2nd LR sections more difficult than the first ones?

And for those of you who've already taken the LSAT Flex, how do you compare Flex LR to your average LR section?

Thank you and good luck for everyone who's, like me, taking the test in October :)

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?

I have a portable AC Unit in my room and was wondering if anyone had any problems with having a portable Ac unit allowed during the flex. It gets really hot in my house and need the AC on to focus but when I emailed LSAC they said they don't allow fans because they can make noise, does anyone know if they wont allow an AC unit? Is every LSAT proctor different? I am just really nervous about them making me turn off the unit the day of the test. Any advice?

Hi!

I'm seeking any and all advice people may have for LR. I usually get -7 to -9 on sections and want to get that down to consistently -4 or -5. In blind review I usually get -1 or -2 wrong, but it just usually takes me a while to get to the right answer. I often spend way too long (2 min) on a question when I'm being timed and want to get faster while not sacrificing accuracy.

I recently read the loophole and the translation drills have helped me to read more actively but this usually takes up a lot of time. I feel like I have a solid foundation and can see why wrong answers are wrong and right answers are right I just need to close the BR gap. I know for sure there are a few curve-breaker questions I couldn't get timed but there are usually at least 4 that I know I should have gotten. I tend to be super under-confident when I'm timed which can slow me down as a debate for too long between answer choices.

Would full sections or drills be better to improve time? Any suggestions on how to find a good skipping strategy that could help? Or what I could do to get more confident in general?

Really would appreciate any advice that helped! :)

The rules of this game seem fairly simply yet there is an inference I'm not getting.

The colors are Navy, Yellow and Red; the clothing pieces are a hat, a jacket, a skirt and a red tie for M1.

M2 gets a Navy skirts-leaving M2 to only ONE additional color choice to be styled.

M1 gets the red tie-leaving M1 to only one additional color to be styled.

We are told that the hat color must be different from the jacket color; i.e, if M1 wears a red hat, the jacket can be any other color BUT red. Same for M2

Now here's my problem, it seems I'm missing an inference where M1 and M2 can't have the same color in the same clothing.Like, M1 having a Navy Jacket and M2 having a Navy Jacket. BUT the rules doesn't say they can't have the same color of clothing. It only says the hat and jacket color must be different for each mannequin.

For 9: If M1 wears the Navy Jacket, I don't see why M2 can't wear a red hat.

Manq.1 H J S T

Color R N R R

Manq.2 H J S

Color R N N

Per my illustration above sticking to the rules:

-Neither mannequin is wearing all 3 colors (M1, Y & N), (M2, R & N)

-M1's hat(R) is different from its Jacket (N) and M2's hat (R) is different from its jacket (N)

-M2 has the navy skirt and M1 has the red tie.

Per this illustration how is answer C wrong?

Does anyone have any recommendations on good hotels to take the LSAT flex in LA and/or Vegas that are affordable and not noisy?

So, I've already gone through equations on powerscore and manhattan prep.

Let's say Ppp was $100 20 years ago, and now $10

while tpp was $8 20 years ago, and now $11(as it doesn't say how much it had increased)

20 yrs ago, tpp was way cheaper than Ppp and it was more than10 times of tpp.

Still, currently Ppps offer a less expensive approach than tpp.

So my question would be, not knowing the increase rate of TPP, why do we have to assume that TPP*10 > Ppp 20 years ago?

Hey guys! I noticed on my last exam that I had trouble differentiating between the logical indicators, "requires" and "is required by." Can anyone help me out?

Hi, does anyone know how to sort exclusively for correlation-causation questions in the question bank? Thanks!

Any tips on how to get from -4/-5 down to -1/-2 on LR?

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm currently struggling getting SA and NA Qs correctly and wanted to ask what your study strategy is to understanding the concept of SA and NA Qs? And what do you think about before answering these the questions?

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

Anyone? :'(

Hello everyone! I took the August Flex as my first LSAT attempt, and so I have the option to preview my score before deciding whether to keep or cancel the score. I did very badly and am quite disappointed, will definitely be retaking it but I was wondering if there was any negatives for law schools if I do cancel the score? There seems to be some type of popular consensus to not cancel the score but considering this is a new feature I figured I'd just ask! I'd appreciate any advice or recommendations, thank you!

PT 63/ LR 7/ (C)

I fully understand why (B) is an answer, but I think (C) is also plausible.

The argument is talking about 'symptom' and (A), (B), (D) and (E) are about 'symptom'.

(C) is about 'host animal' not 'symptom'. Isn't it flawed?

Why are answer choices A and D incorrect? Thanks in advance!

I've been drilling PT 35-end, I'm currently almost at 50, but I've struck a string of just not very challenging games, or at most 1 challenging game per section. I eyeballed the difficulty based on 7sage rating, and a lot of these games have 2/5 difficulty with maybe one having 3 or 4/5. This rating is mostly consistent for the most recent PT's (with exception of the awful flower game section).

I guess what I'm asking or what I may inevitably find out is are more recent games either significantly different or harder than those in the 40's or 50's? I almost feel like I'm wasting my time drilling 40's and 50's given that they all seem not very challenging.

When I did PT 66 Game 1, the last rule was confusing:

"J must meet on an earlier day of the week than O."

Why is it not "J _ O" but it is JO, since it said: AN earlier day?

Thank you

Hi all - does anyone have any good strategies for taking notes/marking for RC on the LSAT Flex? Usually RC is my strongest score when I'm taking the test on paper, but having to read on a screen is really screwing me up. I'm taking the October LSAT (trying to raise my score from August) and really need to increase my accuracy on RC. Appreciate any tips!

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to better approach the Argument Part Questions? I feel like they are "freebies" yet giving me a hard time. #help

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a tutor for a few sessions on reading comp. before the October LSAT. I am scoring around 160 right now with the majority of my incorrect answers (Usually -10 to -15) from RC so I'm hoping to make some improvements before the test.

Thanks,

Marcello

Does anyone know of a good reading comprehension tutor? This seems to be the one section I can't seem to master and would love for someone to help me figure out how to improve on this section.
