I halve been drilling for 2 months and I only improved by maybe 3 points. How do you approach inference, MBT and most strongly supported questions on the RC. I find it easier for LR than RC. How do I improve? Please.

It’s giving me nightmares

Can someone please help explain why D is correct? Not sure if this questions is actually very difficult or if I'm just not fully understanding this stimulus to begin with. Been looking at it for ages and it's just not totally clear to me why D is right, help!

Admin note: Due to LSAC rules, we cannot post PT questions in their entirety in our forums. Asking questions about the questions "hey, can someone help me understand why D is correct" and context is fine. Ex: "I thought it was a MSS question, but why is B not correct?"

Hello,

I have finished the core curriculum and have done four prep tests but I have been using the 50% added time to them. Is this bad practice I plan on reducing my time until I can hit the 35 minute mark.

Thanks

Hey guys,

I am writing the LSAT in January. I want to aim for -0 on the Logic games section. So far, I always get perfect on the sequencing games. Other games, such as In and out, grouping, sequencing twist games- I struggle a little bit on those. I know that if I practice a little bit more, I will aim to perfect those. In terms of the miscellaneous games, I still have a lot of work to do on those).

For the last month- I was planning to do PT 40- 70 (an entire LG section per day). I know that sounds a lot. But I am pretty comfortable with this section. I had a question, should I focus on games from 40-70 or should I do other prep tests. Some people say that if you want to improve on LG miscellaneous- then games from 1-35 are the way to go ? Or should I mix it up ?

Thank You :)

Hi all does anyone have an Excel sheet where they keep track of questions they've missed where you can track your flawed reasoning and see how your reasoning changes over time? Pacifico had an LG Excel sheet but I'm looking for an LR sheet. I know I've seen one on here before but I can't remember where. Thanks in advance :) Feel free to DM me and I'll send you my e-mail if that works best.

I sat for the ‘November 2019’ exam just over ten days ago. Is it normal to still feel exhausted after this much time has passed? So far I have woken up with an lsat hangover every. single. morning.

I refuse to continue feeling sluggish.

Hey Everyone,

Starting to fool proof logic games and have a few questions:

  • Do you keep your additional attempts to refer back to? Or do you throw it away? Please provide a rationale for either or.
  • How valuable is it to fool proof when you know the exact answer to the questions off of memory?
  • For example, when you read a question and you already know in your head that the answer is C. Do you go through the motions to confirm C?

  • Any advice and/or tips for someone starting Logic Games?
  • Look forward to your responses.

    Someone please tell me why A is correct.

    I think SoA is incorrect because: let's pretend there are two subdivisions, A and B. Let's say sub A contained houses of $1mil and sub B had houses costing half million. Let's say someone like Bill Gates lived in sub A. $1 mil is drastically lower than what he can afford, but de facto segregation between sub a and sub B still exists.

    Please explain AC A. Thank you.

    Hi guys Im just looking for some advice here on where to go next, Im registered for the January exam but im still struggling with my timed for RC and LR. I do fine untimed but times it almost seems s impossible. i had a breakdown earlier and was just crying because i have been studying for about 9 months now and I need to apply to this cycle. So I am under a significant amount of stress. Where do I go from here? I know I should keep practicing my section timed but should I do the timed sections separately? And for RC how should I continue with reading the passage in a more timely manner as well as answering the questions.

    Basically how to get speed without sacrificing my accuracy? Also anyone know anything that helps boost confidence I feel as if this exam is beating me up every day.

    Anyone please help me with advice or personal experience please I'm so desperate.

    I'm going to be on two long flights at the end of this month and am planning on running through lots of printed logic games. However, I'm not sure the best way to go about reviewing the games since I'll be unable to digitally access the answers (and explanations) to the games while on the flight.

    Has anyone found an effective review method for LG that doesn't require the internet? I suppose I could try to simply print off answer sheets for each relevant LSAT, but wasn't sure if there was any other option. Thanks!

    I almost always fall for this rule/time sinks when seeing this in LG, I can never draw out this rule intuitively. Some examples:

    9.3.1 At least twice as many roses as orchids.

    27.2.3 Exactly twice as many of the film buffs see the H film as see the F film.

    32.3.2 At lease as many F novels as R novels are selected.

    At least twice the amount of A as B

    Can someone please kindly tell me how to understand them properly and efficiently? Thank you so much!

    I took the November 2019 LSAT last Monday the 25th at John Marshall Law School in Chicago. Everything seemed fine; we all completed the test and were in and out in about 4 hours. Nothing went wrong with the test center or the tablets as far as I'm aware. Yesterday afternoon, I received an email from LSAC with the subject line "LSAT Test Center Reassignment." The email says that since I was unable to take the test I registered for, my make-up exam will occur this Sunday Dec 8th at John Marshall Law School (same test center as before). I checked my LSAC account and it, too, says that I'm registered for the December 8th LSAT and that I can print my admission ticket. I've tried calling LSAC multiple times and every time I've been on hold for over an hour because all of their lines are busy.

    Has this happened to anyone else over the past couple days? I'm so confused as to why LSAC thinks I was unable to take the exam on the scheduled date. I already spent a lot of time and money traveling to Chicago for last week's exam, and I'll be in a really tough spot if I have to re-take it this Sunday.

    Long Text

    Hi guys,

    I had a quick question. I am struggling with timings when it comes to LR questions. So when there is an LR question that is long, I tend to skip it. I was wondering, are there any specific strategies that you guys apply to deal with long text LR questions.

    Thanks

    I’ve been testing on digital (in my fire tablet) and I think that makes a huge impact on my score. It’s so uncomfortable reading RC on tablet. Any tips would be appreciated...I’ve taken lsat but on paper. January will be the first time taking it digital.

    I took the LSAT in June 2018 and did the writing section then. The rules say you don’t have to retake a writing section if you have one on file, but would it be detrimental to my application to have a hand-written writing section as opposed to computerized?

    Hello all,

    As I have been fool-proofing diligently and getting through all the games from PT 1-40 multiple times, I often finish the games a lot earlier than 35 minutes. It does vary depending on the PTs, but I usually have somewhere between 12 to 5 mins left.

    Is there any suggestion on what I should do during the remaining time? During drills or PTs, I get lazy and just don’t even review. I often go -0, but I also make 1 or 2 stupid mistakes that I wish I caught earlier. But i realized that even when I do review some questions, I can’t get too ALL the questions that I do sometimes have about 1 wrong too.

    It really frustrates me when I catch myself making a stupid mistake, and I really want to get a perfect score on LG.

    Thanks in advance!
