Hi all! I'm wondering whether we can enlarge our screen, as shown in this video ( ), while doing FLEX? I prefer to read with "only passage" function without turning pages, so I need to make the words small. This strains my eyes. So I am wondering whether we are allowed to enlarge the screen like that. In the video I use Macbook pro, and I enlarge the screen with two fingers. If this is allowed, I would highly recommend this approach to those who are taking FLEX. It allows you to read without scrolling or turning pages, and it is very fast and convenient! Thanks!

Hi everyone! As I'm now transitioning to digital LSAT, I found that highlighting is difficult and inefficient to do on the screen. Maybe that's because I'm not used to it yet. I used to put some symbols beside the texts that I think is important. But I can't do it now. I think I really need to cut down a significant amount of highlighting in RC. Which is painful since I'm so used to drawing anything I want on the paper. Can anyone share what you usually highlight in RC? Is not highlighting anything a better strategy? Thanks!

How should I plan my LG fool proof if I am aiming for the October test? Last year I studied for 2 months and stopped. I am redoing the CC again and I just started with the Games section in the CC. After I FP the games that are in the lessons what should my next step be? Should I go for the 1-35 bundle for example. And how many games should I do a day and so on? I would appreciate some advice!!

Can we all agree that question number 7 of LSAT 21 Section 3 has got to be the most ridiculous quesiton of all time. So just because John's face was reflected in a mirror, his friends did not recognize him? lolwut

Hello!

I've been studying for the LSAT for quite some time now. I took a course last summer and am still having trouble with sufficient assumption questions. I know the videos say that these are freebies once understood but I have yet to get there! Does anyone have any tips? I've done so many problem sets of solely SA questions along with watching the videos but when it comes to trying them myself I seem to get stuck.

Hi,

I chose E, but the answer was A.

Here's supposedly why the answer is A: given that the question is asking for what would "most support the author's claim [on lines 24-27] about the relationship between muralism and the Mexican Revolution", people are treating this question as if the "claim about the relationship" is the statement on 26-27: that the muralists reflected important innovations in the art world (thus leading to the correct answer = answer choice A.

Here's why I chose E: I thought that a relationship had to be a connection between the Mexican Revolution and muralism, so I was focusing on the phrase that muralism was the result of changes that the Mexican Revolution represented (line 24-26). This led me to choose E, since this looked like the only answer choice that could possibly support a claim regarding the relationship between Muralism and Mexican Revolution.

In other words, I didn't agree with A's reasoning because the claim on 26-27 only talks about muralism and doesn't connect it with Mexican Revolution.

Can anybody explain how answer choice A was correct? How were we supposed to know that this claim regarding this relationship was that described on lines 26-27 rather than that described on 24-26?

Any #help would be appreciated!

Hi,

I was really stuck on this question because both B and D look like they weaken the argument here. Can anyone explain why D does not weaken the argument?

Any #help would be appreciated!

Hey all,

I had a question on Logic Games, specifically those questions that don't give any additional clue and require you to at least have to brute force a few of the question choices. (CBT, MBT questions)

When I watch the LG explanation videos, because JY does his explanation on a sketchpad, it's easy for him to draw the game board and erase the game pieces after he's done brute forcing one of the answer choices. I realized we can't do this, since our LG game boards are done on a scratch paper.

When you go through the answer choices, do you redraw the gameboard/game pieces for each of the answer choice, or do you have one game board and erase the game pieces after you've tried out the answer choice? Would love to get advice on how you do these questions!

I have been struggling with Necessary Assumptions questions for a while. After rereading Ellen Cassidy's Loophole book I have finally had my eureka moment. In all honesty NA questions after using her methodology are not that hard.

Identify conclusion(Obviously)

Identify Premises(Bear with me)

Attack the argument like you would for a weakening question

Negate your Loophole

If you follow those steps you will begin to see major improvement in your NA questions. I think the reason for this because most tutors reccomend that you just read attentively when doing NA questions, but this course of action enables you to be on the offensive rather the defensive when looking at NA questions.

I have noticed that when it is a question type that is focused on attacking the argument I do great. So, this course action enables me to do what I'm good at.

If you have any questions PM!!!!!

So I have a question on Problem Set questions, particularly the last two ones. Usually I am on a role and get most to all of the questions right in the sample single questions before the problem sets. Those sample single questions seem to be also numbered at the harder ranges like 10-25 ish. However when it comes ot the problem sets, especially the ones with 5 stars, they seem to be exponentially harder than any of the sample questions before the sets. For an example: in the Necessary Assumption section, I was pretty much able to get most of the questions right in the single questions. Not only that, the questions I got wrong consisted of a minor misreading of the passsage or answer choice. And don't forget that these questions are also in the 10-25 range which I believed would have helped me with the 5 star questions. It turns out that I was wrong. The difficulty in figuring out the correct answer choices even after significant amount of times has been evident. A question 13 from a 5 star question in a problem set seem to be exponentially harder than a question 13 from any of the sample single questions before the problem sets. I have been wondering, where does getting the 5 star questions right rougly place you in the LSAT score ranges compared to 4 star or 3 star?

These were so hard.

I got number 23 right at first, but wrong after a blind review. I don't understand why answer choice D is not a necessary assumption. Isn't it important that the brains of twins aren't any more likely to suffer from schizophrenia than a non-twin brain? Shouldn't that be of utmost important to ensure the conclusion about brains in general is valid?

But more confusing to me was 24. How in the heck can we find most of the answers to be "could be true" based on the stimulus? There is no mention of any of the answer choices, like (B) being able to control it with medication, but not cure it. Where is that even implied in the stimulus? Or susceptibility in answer (A). I can't find a logical string that ties these answers together.

#HELP

Can someone please explain to me how we can automatically make the inference that M cannot go into 3, when it appears M is also associated with Speech as well as honors and Speech appears to have no restrictions for table 3 ?!?! So Shouldn’t this open the possibility of M being able to be in table 3 as well, even though the rules declare that all variable associated with Honors be in tables 1 and 2 ?!?!?

Hi,

Can anyone explain why B here is 100% wrong? I thought that B could weaken the argument because it could state the conclusion of the study is wrong.

Thanks!

Any #help would be appreciated!

Hi,

So I got this question wrong because D looked wrong to me (D was actually the right answer).

The stimulus is saying that reduced speed limits do not protect the environment because it makes it so that cars spend more time spewing exhaust on the road.

To me, this meant that the author was assuming that if you spend more time on the road driving slowly, you will spew more exhaust (or the same) than if you were driving faster

In order for this to be true, time has to play a big factor in the amount of exhaust spewed; but is it the most important (which is the meaning of "primary")? And what if it only determines a big part of the emission spewed but not the "total" emission? I feel like the argument would still stand

This is why “total emission” and “primarily” seem like logical jumps for me

Can anyone show me the flaw in my reasoning that makes D correct?

I wasn't able to figure out the conclusion.

Please help!

Hi there,

I am going through my BR of the June 2007 LSAT. I got question 13 of section 4 wrong, so I am trying to understand why B is wrong but E is correct. The passage is focused on the study of music and language in humans. Could anyone help explain the reasoning to me?

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! Trying to improve my speed with games that a SUPER heavy on COMPLEX Lawgic.

Any recommendations for good games from 1-36, 37-41 or 72-81? (These are the games that I've already done; the rest I'm saving as fresh PT's). Additionally, any games that use bi-conditionals would be extra-beneficial since this is also probably an area of improvement for me.

Thanks in advance!

Is there a logic notation primer video in the syllabus? I am trying to touch up on specific aspects of the LR section but cannot understand what the 7sage method is trying to convey when items like the below are written.

A -> B

A

B

I picked A. Correct answer B. I don't see how the current groups give enough info to draw a conclusion.

JY states that the group of "people rely on the web when attempting to diagnose medical conditions" falls in to the group of "people who browse the web for medical information". True. But I don't think this matters?

We need to make an appeal that the first group, the people who rely on the web, will be fooled by the quackery. It's possible that the only people that group of people rely on the web only contains people with a medical background, as well as, people who can always discriminate between scientific valid theory and quackery, in which case, B doesn't assist at all in proving the conclusion because they are relying exclusively on scientifically valid information.

I see another necessary assumption being something that needs to eliminate this subgroup, and make it not possible to exist.

A was the best choice from here.

Follow up - does "typically" have a definition on the LSAT?

I started out with a diagnostic score of 153 and have been scoring 168-172 for the last 5 practice tests, and my main struggle is consistently LR sections. I have begun doing flashcards with the logical indicators to drill which group they go with, but want to gain a lot more confidence with arguments and logical relationships. Does anyone have tips they have used to better comprehend logical arguments and practice to become more confident in these sections? Thanks!!

Does anyone know why either E is wrong for question 21, or why D is right for question 24?

For those who want to come- Prep Test 83 BR call on Thursday evening for the first LR at 7:00 pm Eastern and also 7:00 pm Eastern on Friday for the second LR. This will be a collaborative style BR. Please take the test or sections and do your own BR first but don’t score the section. We would like to have a good discussion and hear different perspectives/ reasoning which is most effective when people don’t know the answers.

We will meet via Zoom. Here is the link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/7769566542

I just started studying again and I was wondering if there’s a way we can do LG 1-35 with the digital format? If not, the only way is to go through the PTs and just do the games?

I just was wondering if July LSAT Flex will count for fall 2020 admission? I took the may LSAT last Tuesday. I felt okay about it, however I don't want my score to be below what I need it to be. If I do sign up for July will it even count for fall admission?

If anyone who has taken/will be taking the LSAT has any specific tips that they would be willing to share specifically on the Analytical Reasoning (logic games) section that would much appreciated.
