Hi everyone,

Does anyone want to BR PT 86 or 85 this week before the June exam? Please message me or reply if interested!

This might seem like silly question, but anyone who is left handed have a way that they have figured to cover up rules while going through the games? I have noticed that covering up the rules with your fingers is often suggested. However, I think this is only effective if you are right handed, lefties end up working over their right arm.

Hi All, I'm planning to take the July LSAT (haven't registered yet) and I'm looking for advice in terms of making the most of the time I have left. I've been studying (somewhat casually) since December and really buckled down about two weeks ago. I work full time and I am planning to take five days off to focus on PTs and review before July 15, but not sure if the week before I write the exam would be the best choice. Should I take the week of July 1 off? A week in June? Split it up to 3 days in June, 2 in July?

I've done a few PTs and will be done with the core curriculum in about a week. My plan is to see how I do in July and then take it again in October (since we can cancel and retake for free with July). Thanks for any advice!

Hi all,

I’ve been studying since January, it’s taken me a bit to finish the CC since I have the Ultimate + version, but now that I have I’m trying to plan how to best spend my remaining time before the taking July test. My plan was to take a day to review all the content I went over and redo the LGs from the CC and then after that just take as many prep tests as I can.

The issue is I work full time, so my only times to study are on the weekends and maybe for an hour or two after work on weekday nights if my brain cooperates. I tried to take my full days remaining and split them up with half of them being reserved to take full prep test, and half of them to BR those prep tests. There are full 2 weekends and 1 full weekend day between now and the test that I won’t be able to study for so I’m getting a little nervous. I’m hoping to make it through 7 full prep test but that doesn’t feel like enough. Should I also be trying to do a section of a prep test every weeknight I can?

Since I only have time for a couple of tests, should I be prioritizing the most recent PTs or are there certain ones I should cover first?

What do yall think are the toughest logic games in the 50s 60s and 70s? Just the test number and the game. EX: Test 68 game 4.

Hi fellow June test takers, I would love to hear your insight on three things related to the last PT you will take before the test.

The reason I am asking is because 1) I only have time for 1 more PT before the test; 2) my latest PT was PT81, and I am not sure if I should take PT82 or PT86; 3) I am OK with LG, but having difficulty with LR and RC. I read from a reddit post that LR in PT85 and PT86 are wordier. If this is true, I should really familiarize myself with the newer test.

Thanks in advance!

Just got an email from LSAC. Scores for the July test administration will not be released until August 28 due to the increased scrutiny and research they must do after introducing a new mode of test delivery. I'm sure many anticipated this, but I was actually under the impression that scores would come out sooner for some reason with the digital format. Just something to be aware of for all you July test takers out there. I think the best approach is to continue preparing for a September retake if you anticipate taking advantage of the score cancel/free retake option. There won't really be enough time after August 28 to jump back into LSAT prep.

Hi guys,

I'm really having a difficult time seeing why B would not be the right answer. B seems to be describing that it is for the government's own sake to respect the rights of citizens, which is exactly what the Policy Advisor is saying in the first sentence. Am I misunderstanding something here?

Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi friends, I'm using a Manhattan Prep book just to get more LG practice, 7Sage is clearly superior ;), and I'm struggling to figure out how they arrived at their solution. It's an open grouping setup with the following:

5 condominiums R Q S T V each has at least one of three features - F, H, M.

Rules:

Q has fewer features than S

P and T have exactly one feature in common

Both Q and V have hardwood floors

P has more features than any other condominium

I tried to write out their solution but it doesn't show up correctly on here so if anyone has solved it and can explain how they got to their board that would be awesome #help Thanks!

I have been watching the 7sage videos. I have tried Blueprint, Powerscore, so I might as well see if 7sage has anything to offer me. I do want to try an untimed logical reasoning section, and explain my reasoning. However, I do have several questions.

I do admit, in the idea of practicing logical reasoning, there is more sense on eliminating the wrong answers, than knowing off the top of the bat that you have the right answer. One thing I have learned from Powerscore, is to separate the contenders from the losers.

How did you achieve AC “D”. I don’t see what you linked it to.

Does anyone else have this problem? Early morning PTs were no issue but since June is in the afternoon, I started taking them around that time and have noticed that's usually when my brain feels like shutting down. Maybe its because of lunch? Maybe it's because I tend to wake up early. I dunno but has anyone figured out how to overcome this themselves? I'm thinking about eating an early and light lunch or taking a power nap/meditating before the test might help but haven't tried that.

There is nothing of substance in this post I just really felt the need to say HOLY F**K I AM SO NERVOUS I WANT TO THROW UP

Hi all! So I'm preparing for the July 15 test, average is 169, and BR is almost always above 170 (took a bit of a hit transitioning from PTs 36-44, and now in the 70s). Working me bum off to routinely score 170+.

I am planning on taking 3 PTs/week (being okay with only 2 if time gets away from me--- I'm a full time grad student). Spending 20 hrs/week studying.

Because I'm doing so much BRing, I started to think that skipping the BR on the first 7 (or 10) LR questions for one out of three PTs each week would save massive time where I don't feel like I am actually gaining that much. The reasoning always seems natural, and I almost always get all of these questions correct.

Help me check myself: am I being lazy, or it this a fine strategic use of time?

I was wondering if some of yall could post examples of how you BR the logical reasoning section. I am stuck in the 20-22 per section and would really like that to be 22-24.

This was a difficult question about dinosaurs, fossil evidence and their argued relationship with reptiles. Many users chose AC D) but E) is correct. I can't seen to figure out what the "two present-day" phenomena are, can anyone help a gal out? THANK YOU

Can you all take a look at this PT. I don't understand it all and I am getting aggravated, please.

would some one please help me understand how to properly translate answer choice E into formal logic? i have some idea from the discussion in the video explanation, but im having issues identifying the cues that led to these translations.

how the f*ck am i supposed to get these hard LR questions right??? they take me like 10 mins to figure out and i STILL get them wrong lmao

Hello,

I am struggling with compound contrapositives. I know that when negating, you also have to switch the and/or. However, what about the use or absence of "but not both"?

Example from February 1999, link provided at bottom:

Two conditions within the problem are listed below:

If yews are not in the park, then either laurels or oaks, but not both, are in the park.

Original: ~Y-----> L or O

Contrapositive: ~L and ~O -----> Y.

If it is not the case that the park contains both laurels and oaks, then it contains firs and spruces.

Original: ~L and ~O ----> F and S

Contrapositive: ~F and ~S. -----> L or O

This second rule doesn't include the "but not both" but it seems to diagram the contrapositive regardless of the "but not both" piece's inclusion.

Hey guys,

When using the negation method for necessary assumption, are both negatives negated if the sentence contains a double negative? For example, in the sentence "it is not the case that Amy never goes to the movies", would the negation be:

or

Thank you!

When looking at a flaw argument, could there be two or more possible flaws, such as a combination of self-contradiction and unwarranted prediction?

I have two weeks and I feel so under prepared and anxious about this test. Good news is I’m taking it early so if need be I can retake it. Anyone else had limited study time? Any tips?

Hello friends,

I was stuck on this question for a long time, trying to figure out what is going on. In the end, I think I got my head around it. Can someone check my work please?

The conclusion : To protect public from erroneous info ---------> Medical Research Findings are public.

It seems like:

Conclusion : C ---> A

The answer choice (A) seems to say B ---> A, which is the missing link. Then everything chains up nicely.

C----->B (-----) A.

Am I stretching what the actual words are saying to fit them into the clean logical chain?

Please help me :(

Can anyone help me out with some good study techniques for tackling the Logic Games section???? Should I start by practicing the initial setup and then tackle the types of questions after???? This is by far my worst section for the test.

Thanks!!
