Hello,

I have several questions for those who score close to -0 on Logic Games.

Do you usually have time left over at the end of the section? How much time do you have left and how do you make use of that time?

Do you ever skip questions or games and how do you decide to make that decision?

How much time do you spend on the first two games? Is it recommended to get them done in less than 13 minutes so that I have at least 22 minutes for the last two games? I know that sometimes Game 2 can be really time consuming, but since usually game 1 can be done quickly, I am wondering if you have a max. time limit for games 1 and 2, even given the circumstances that game 2 is difficult.

I ask this question because I usually find myself at 15min at the end of game 2 and I often run out of time by the time I am at game 4.

Thank you so much for reading this.

Hey all,

I am taking the lsat again in January. I’m in my last semester of college and have already applied. I’m having difficulty carving out time each day to study. How much time should I be spending each day on the exam? I’ll have more free time once school is over but have a lot of anxiety about the test when I am not studying for it.

Thanks!

Good Afternoon, Everyone

I am trying to understand the incorrect answer choices for this Question. What would answer choice b look like in an argument.

Admin note: edited title

Hello. I have been having some trouble with actually solidifying my understanding of the meaning of Sufficient Conditions and Necessary Conditions as I found the information provided in the core curriculum in regard to the topic to be a bit vague. I seem to always get confused and lack confidence when I have to deal with a conditional relationship in an argument because I just take the Premises of the argument to mean the Sufficient Condition and the Conclusion of the argument to mean the Necessary Condition. If someone can please clarify it for me or correct my understanding of this it would be much appreciated.

Also I have been having some difficulty with knowing when exactly to diagram Lawgic. Are we only supposed to diagram when we see words from Group 1-4 of the Sufficient and Necessary Condition indicators?

General Structure of Conditional Statements: Sufficient Condition --> Necessary Condition

Hi everyone!

I just took the November Lsat, and although we haven't received our scores yet, I am strongly considering taking the Jan Lsat. I have registered for it alreay because I am sure I can increase my score from wherever it is right now, and I would like to guarantee a spot in law school for Fall 2019.

So while preparing for my November Lsat, I noticed that my strongest area is LG. However, i'm never able to finish all 4 games. I have a strong grasp of most rules, but is there a way I can get around to completing all 4 games on time? I'm not sure how i can do this, i've been practicing and practicing and practicing. (I've been studying on and off for the Lsat since April, and wrote my first lsat in September)

Another area I'm looking to improve on is LR. I have gone through the CC and understand all the concepts, i have even read the powerscore book, however I can't seem to improve when I do the actual questions (i always get approx. -8 to -11). There aren't any specific questions i get wrong, it's different kind every time, a mix of everything. So i'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or missing something because i can't seem to get better at LR. Any tips?

My RC is alright, i haven't focused too much on this sections because it's the hardest to improve for me. So i've put all of my efforts on my improving on LG and LR.

My PT have been in the low 150s and I'm still waiting on my November Lsat score.

I'm aiming to get a score of 155-160 for the january lsat.

Before starting the 7sage course, no matter what I did, I could not improve on logic games. However, I took J.Y. Ping's advice and started drilling the same logic games problems until I was able to get them right on my own. It's been tedious and exhausting at times doing the same games over and over again until I get 100% accuracy, but I have noticed a significant improvement on my logic games score just from doing that. If you're feeling hopeless about logic games, keep practicing because practice really does make perfect, or close! :)

SO prep test 36 game 1 his my arch enemy! I figured out most of it after coming back to it a few weeks later, but this is where I am stuck. No T - K, so I understand I must have one or the other, But how do I still Have the option of having both? So no T or T, I still can have K....What is the rule here that I keep missing that I need to tattoo on my hand?

hey all

so there are some LR and RC questions where there are some "common sense" assumptions the LSAT expects us to make.

On the other hand, there are other "assumptions" that the LSAT uses to bait us into trap answer choices.

How can we distinguish between these two different kinds of assumptions? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

An example on the top of my head would be .... a trap bait assumption is "exercise" = "more arthritis." According to the LSAT, that's a BAD assumption ( PT 69.1.5)

Another "common sense" assumption that was associated with the right answer choice was that "firms/companies want to make money."

Thanks!

#Help The LR section has really left me baffled. My average score per LR section was -2 while I was PTing through PT50s and PT60s. But in the series of 70s, it has drastically dropped to -5. I do notice some differences when I do more recent PTs but I can't figure out what. I've approximately a month and a half. How do you guys think I can get back on track?

Any advice or tips would be appreciated.

Thanks!

So, I was doing Game 4 of PT 61 in which

Q.19 asks J's position cannot be which one of these?

Answer choices:

A.2

B.3

C.5

Q.20 asks If J is in 3, which of these could be true?

Using Q.20 can we safely assume that J can in fact fit in 3 and then use that to eliminate answer choice B?

is "except" also "negate sufficient," just like "unless"?

Thanks!

Hi all-

I'm in the middle of full-proofing, and sometimes I come across a game that's categorized as "MISC" and they always give me a really hard time. How have you all approached these type of games? Do they get easier as I finish full-proofing? (I'm only on section 5 of 35)

Thanks.

Besides us all taking the November 2018 together, the one other thing we have in common is our disdain for that bloody mining game. But, for some reason, it felt like deja-vu (which doesn't mean I found it easy or anything; quite the contrary). Anyone remember PT60 -- Game 3? The only logic game I can compare the mining one to is this one about dirt vs. mulch loads. Just thought I'd share in case anyone wanted to inflict further torture on themselves. Also, if anyone knows of similar games from the PTs, please let it be known. I have nothing to do post-exam and feel impelled to do practice questions... for fun... (what's happened to me?).

Somebody is probably also in this boat. I took the November test and feel pretty ok that I got a goal score. But who knows? I want to register for the January test to secure a good testing site (live in NYC...:some are dreadful), but I don’t want to burn 150$ if I drop out because I got a plenty good enough score for my goals. (Also, LSAC isn’t offering a 100% refund for November test takers like they have in the past)). So here’s the question: anyone have experience with a good testing center closing on them? I called LSAC today and they said the testing center I want (Queens College) has 300 seats left. I’m guessing that enrollment is going to skyrocket the day scores come out. Anybody else monitoring January testing centers?

Should I start off by completing all logic games from PT 1-35 in order? Or should I start by going through all sequencing games with the goal of seeking mastery before moving on to grouping or advanced linear? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

please delete this discussion, thank you

Has anyone heard of a test site being cancelled the night before the test? I was scheduled to take the test in Fair Lawn and received and email the night before stating it was cancelled. How does LSAC correct this issue? I want to be able to take the test twice (November and January) before having to submit applications for the 2019 Fall enrollment. Thanks in advance for any help or input.

Have fun discussing!

I finished the section but was still bubbling when the head proctor called time and was called out by one of them. I deserve what happened and will try again in January. I’m just going to put my head down and work hard so that I won’t be lacking those last few seconds next time. Any one here have experience with this and can share some insight?

Hello 7Sage!

A couple of months back I posted here asking for help regarding improving my study habits. The turn around has been incredible utilizing the tips that this community gave me!

I am finishing up fool proofing logic games in the coming weeks. It has been a struggle working full time and helping to make sure the wedding happens without issue, but I am really hitting my stride with understanding the process it takes to fool proof the test.

I am curious to see how many of you have fool proofed the LR section. Have you used a similar method that you used approaching LG? Any tips?

Any little bit helps! Looking forward to reading the comments!

Best,

Jonah

Literally have never looked at the essay part...should I before tomorrow? Any quick tips?

Hi everyone!

I'm freaking out a little bit because they just cancelled my test due to the snowstorm we are having in New England. Has anyone else had this happen before? I won't receive information from lsac about the details of a reschedule for the test until next week and I was just wondering if anyone knows what I should be expecting to happen in this situation. The not knowing is killing me!!

Good luck to everyone that will be taking the exam tomorrow!!

Rule No. 8

any advice for RC skipping strategies?

how long people should spend per question before they skip?

there's the classic 10 in 10, 25 in 25 for LR timing/skipping strategies.

any similar skipping strategy for RC?

or just general advice on how to manage the clock for RC? thanks.

What would this fallacy look like: Mistakenly equating what is actual for what is merely possible?

i.e., what to look for/why they seem to be a little more tricky compared to earlier ones/ways to approach. seem to get stuck on these. thanks!
