Hi y'all,

It's the passage about serotonin and I have a quick question. I was down to A and D and chose D and then switched to A. At first I was drawn to D because it said the body's desire for carbs CAN BE influenced by serotonin... And the second sentence in the first paragraph says "The answer to this question IS NOT KNOWN but ... SEEMS TO BE... SEROTONIN..." Not known/seems to be matches with Can be in the answer choice whereas A) says VARIES with. The author is less confident than that. Was I thinking the right way the first time?

Thank you!

These are all my incorrect questions that pop up the most as wrong answers. What can I do to fix weaknesses on these types of questions?

Hey all,

I took the October 2018 LSAT in Kenya. I had two LG sections and I'm just wondering which one was the real one and which was experimental. Does anyone have this info?

Hey everyone. I’m in a panic about my score. To be competitive where I want to go, I need to score a 163 or higher. I need to compensate for my LSAT (3.3). I took in September and scored as follows:

RC: -8

LR: -5

LG: -11

LR: -10

Do I have any chance of making the improvement I need before the November test? What should I focus on? Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I was wondering what I should do when I get to the point in a section where I feel like I already completed my blind review. I am mostly asking this about LR as I generally finish all of the questions with 5+ minutes left and have plenty of time to go back and review the questions that I was unsure of. Sometimes I will have sections where I have several minutes at the end that I don't even know what to do with. With all that in mind, how should I approach blind review for these sections? Am I past the blind review stage for LR or is there a deeper blind review strategy than this? Also, as a note I am scoring between -1 and -5 depending on section difficulty.

Taking at least a minute over but the steps I follow and the inferences I arrive at are exactly same. However, I am reading off of the screen and doing the game on paper, would that make a difference?

If some of you faced this, why is this? And how do I get generally faster at LG? I am already foolproofing and I see a difference but I am still slower than JY's estimates. Sometimes by 2 minutes, sometimes by 30 seconds.

Hey guys, I'm having difficulty understanding this question. It states:

I am having a hard time understanding Frank's argument. I know Lance is saying the minimum experiences teach us is that every general rule has at least one exception. But what I don't understand is how Frank came to the conclusion that there is at least one general rule that has no exceptions.. If anyone can explain, it'd be super helpful :)

When I started studying full time, approximately four months ago, LG was by far my worst section. With diligent practice and doing the full-proof method, I have significantly raised my average performance. Now, it seems that I am plateauing with LR... LR is now pretty much my worst section(s) and also my least favorite sections to take.

Any tips?

I've done all the core curriculum and looked over the lessons that I think I feel the most uncomfortable with several times. I've seen that I've missed some of the Weakening and Strengthening questions which are basically freebies, and when BR'ing I say to myself, "Why in the hell are you missing these?!"

Hi all! I'm hitting my target score on Blind Review, but the logic games are killing me on timed PTs. Once I blind review I tend to get all the logic games correct, sometimes -1, but it just takes me way longer than 35 minutes. I just can't finish all four games in time. How do I get faster?

Hi,

I've gone through the entire CC, but i'm still have trouble being able to translate passages to their Conditional Reasoning equivalencies intuitively or with enough speed and accuracy. What tools to people use to internalize conditional reasoning translations?

Also with weakening questions I tend to just as easily talk myself out of the correct answer on the grounds of it making assumptions. What are strategies y'all use to approach weaken questions? Thanks!

Question stem: would be most helpful to know in order to evaluate the argument?

I am not familiar to this questions stem. Does anyone have strategies in attacking these kind of q's?

Thank you!

Currently, I'm following the syllabus and in middle of the MSS questions sets. While I got almost all of the early--and easy--question sets correct, I haven't kept that up for the more difficult ones. My question is, is that normal, and am I expected to know how to answer these difficult questions without any knowledge of logic (that's the order the syllabus has them)?

I am talking for example the viruses or dinosaurs (PT 79 and PT 57).

These are the kinda games that look like things might fall into place once we get into the questions, but they actually don't.

However, the logic is fairly usual when you think about it.

So, when this happens on the actual PT, esp seeing as how LG is a section where one can get the most points, how to not be frazzled and work through a proper strategy?

So since beginning my LSAT journey in April 2018, I've seen my RC improve as I worked through PT's 1-60. However, after taking a few PT's in the 70's my RC score has plummeted. I've noticed that the passages are similar and I am not having an issue understanding the passages.. However, the answer choices seem more convoluted to me and even through BR I have a very hard time understanding and learning from trap answer choices. Another problem is that drilling earlier PT's is not helping and I can't drill the 70's and 80's for RC purposes since I'm saving them for full tests. I would appreciate any advice on how to improve and learn from my mistakes.

I thought the answer was C, but could someone explain why it is E?

Hi guys,

I am progressively getting worse at LR. My first handful of PTs I was -4 on average. The next batch was around 5 and 6. I took last week to review my CC in depth on the question types I was missing most and today I am -9 and -11.

I am scoring 50/50 with Flaw and struggle with NA too. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! I went from 167, to the mid 160s, to today in the 150s. Really confused and disheartened to be getting worse scores with time...

Thanks!

i've heard many 170+ scorers rarely map out logic or do any writing when taking timed PT's.

How long did it take you to get there?

Do top scorers NEVER map out logic, or hand write notes while taking timed PT's?

For certain SA and MBT lawgic questions, sometimes I feel that I HAVE to write out the lawgic. There are just so many ideas to juggle around, and it's so difficult to keep track of them all in my mind.

the tough thing is the convoluted GRAMMER/referential phrasing plus the logic. It's really hard to keep all those ideas straight in my head without hand mapping it out.

Any general ideas/suggestions on how to get to a point of mastery/fluency with logic??? one example of this is that i wouldn't have to hand write out logic when i see it?

how would you negate "either few customers would want free gift wrapping or most customers would want it"?

I took the LSAT for the first time in September and didn't get the score I wanted, so I'm retaking in November. Does anyone have tips to help prepare for a 2nd attempt? Should I just study my weak areas and continue to take PTs? I want to make sure I am fully prepared the second time around. Let me know what you think!! :)

Am I allowed to post about the fairy circles question and get help having someone explain why the answer is what it is? Delete if I’m not. I just really don’t get it.

I was wondering if the following answers are all correct predictions for the following Sufficient Assumption question.

Every student who walks to school goes home for lunch. It follows That some students who have part-time jobs do not walk to School.

Diagramed as: WS -> GHL

/GHL->/WS

---------------------------

PT some /WS

My predictions:

a. Some students who do not go home for lunch have a part-time job.

b. Every student who does not go home for lunch has a part-time job.

c. Most students who do not go home for lunch have a part-time job.

Thank you :)

LR is hard for me because my reading comprehension skills are not that good.

I believe my average is about 14 correct per LR section. How do I get this to 18+? I've been through the trainer..finished most of the LR in the CC and I am still so bad at LR.

I want to move on to the LG section of the CC, however, I feel like that's a bad idea because I'd be abandoning LR too soon. I want to be decent at LR before I move onto LG.

Some of y'all are so good at LR.. when I see people say that they get "-2 or -1" on LR.. it amazes me. You rock.

Why can't you split using the MY not both rule? #help

All,

On the 7Sage LR flowchart I cant figure out what “piece together the information” entails.

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

Probably the thousandth person to ask this, but how can I improve my time on LG? I can go either -0 or -2 now, but it takes me an hour to figure out all four games completely. I do the game board up front and don’t have to really refer to the stimulus that much (or at all) after I’ve made my board, but I do know that figuring out which game board to use can take me some time, and shaking loose the inferences takes me a while. Looking for concrete tips. TIA
