I have noticed recently that I almost always take a long time on the first game. For instance, if 7Sage indicates that the game should be completed in 7 minutes, then it would take me 2 minutes longer. Regardless of the game type, this has happened both during warm ups and full length PTs. I’m either taking too long to diagram or have to refer back to the game board multiple times when answering questions (less confident?) This in turn messes up my timing for the rest of the section where I feel rushed.

Does this happen to anyone else? And what would be a good strategy to fix it?

I have yet to solve one LG on my own even without any time restrictions. I do very well with LR and RC, but for some reason LGs have been beating the crap out of me. It is difficult for me to fully comprehend how I should initially set up my game board, better yet make any inferences consistently. Mind you, I am still in progress with the LG section of the CC—but am nearly finished—but regardless, it has been totally disheartening for me.

How long did it take for you guys to fully grasp LG?

Does it work well together with the content in the CC for 7Sage?

Should I do one before the other? I'm about to start the CC for LR soon with Ultimate+.

I've got plenty of time since I'm registered for the April 2020 LSAT.

Thank you!

Does anybody have any advice for practicing logic games when you have spare time at the doctor's office, in between meetings, etc.?

Whether that be completing a full problem set off my phone or writing out a quick diagram, I am hoping for some suggestions as to how to practice without my laptop on me!

Thank you :)

LR speed

Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to improve on LR speed? I average about 2 minutes per question (and I feel like I am rushing). Although I am slow, I am mostly accurate.

I would love to hear all of your thoughts :)

Hi guys,

I was just wondering how do you mark or circle the lines in RC on a tablet. When i was doing passages on paper i always circle or underline the key words i think is important so is it the same way in tablet?

Is it recommended to take the unclosed test? Am aiming to get into the 2020 session into the University of Toronto, so was planning to do the October test , so I had two more chances to take repeats for a better score. Any suggestions?

Hi all,

I've been studying for a little over 7 months but I've always had trouble with Sufficient Assumption and Pseudo Sufficient Assumption questions. I get them right a lot of the time but it takes forever, and writing out the lawgic often makes it worse for me.

I don't think JYs method works for me very well. I understand the principles of lawgic but I have a lot of trouble when the logic chains they present use slightly different subjects/are not worded in the same way. It's also really easy for my brain to get it all jumbled.

Anyone else have this issue? What worked for you?

Are there other methods for approaching these outside of writing out logic chains that can work?

Not sure how to word this but;

how do you all set up your in-out board to represent a not both rule when the rule has an and/or statement in it.

For example If A is in then B and C are out or vise versa.

If it was just A -> /B then I know I can put A/B in my out group, but I'm not sure how to represent it when there's an and involved.

Does that make sense?

I'm only 40% of the starter curriculum and the test is now in a month! I know I can't get through 100% of the curriculum simply because I don't have enough time in the day to dedicate to studying since I have other responsibilities. Anyone else feel nervous? (Also first time taker here)

hi all

so I have not been as diligent with my studies as I should have been over the summer because of some unexpected life events. I do most of logical reasoning+reading comprehension qs right however I am still struggling with games as I started to study it pretty recently. Do you think I should postpone my exam even though September is disclosed and I can get a performance sheet back? This one would be my first Lsat exam ever so I can't tell if I'm just freaking out or not. Please help with any advice you can give TIA

I have been looking at this question for a while and A, B, C appeared correct at first. I narrowed it down to C because it seemed like he was mocking and taunting the opposing view as to suggest their report ludicrous, an appeal to emotion. I ruled out A and B because although true, that did not seem like the main method of reasoning he was using. Now that I know B is in fact the correct answer, I have eliminated A & C on the grounds that they are referring to context parts and the major premise "could not imagine any senator..." seems to imply Answer choice B more closely ...What do you guys think?

Hi! My main struggle is the reading comp section- likely because I suffer from ADHD. The syllabus appears to not have much on reading comprehension unfortunately, so I have a few questions.

  • Does it help a lot to do the reasoning sections in the syllabus before? I am not struggling with that section but maybe it teaches things that help later on with the reading comp?
  • Does anyone have any advice about getting increased scores in this section?
  • are there any free websites or resources that help with this?
  • thank you

    I'm planning on writing in November after the LSAT goes fully digital and I was curious about what kind of tablet LSAC provided. Was the screen resolution quality good? Was the tablet attached to a desk or were you able to move it around? Did you have any problems during the test (technical or comfort related)?

    Thanks!

    Can someone explain why this answer is not D. And confirm the conclusion please. Is there a different way to explain this other than what was explained several years back. Thank you

    I'm taking the test in September, and I'm trying to really crack down so I can break my plateau and increase to where I want to be. It always helps to talk out certain questions and discuss study methods and techniques, so if anyone is in Orange County and wants to meet up, or would be down to work on certain problem sets & then discuss, let me know!

    I am scheduled to take the November LSAT and need advice on when I should start taking timed sections. I get majority of the questions right without the time constraint but as soon as I try to take a timed section I psych myself out. Also, how many PT's should I be taking starting now up until November?

    Hey all - anyone want to clarify if scratch paper will be available for LR come September? Or is it only available for LG? Sometimes I still have to diagram out the logic and am a little worried.

    Thanks!
