First -0 on LG!!!

Well, it finally happened - hit a -0 on LG! Specifically, the exp. LG section on PT91. Would it be more satisfying if it were the scored section? Yes. Am I salty about it? HELL NO!

Been chasing this one for a few months and testing on Friday - not a moment too soon.

Just want to say that you CAN do it - if you're struggling, my advice would be to make sure you're circling every "viable" board you create, because looking back and using them to weed out bad answers on MBT/MBF questions can be HUGE to save a few minutes at the end to review your answers. I've started flagging MBT/MBFs until I finish the rest of the board and it's great for stress and accuracy.

Other than that, Drill baby drill!

I believe in u!

I have been studying for the past ~year and a half and I'm taking it for the third and final (I already sent out apps end of nov/beginning of dec) time on Saturday. My prep lately has been going pretty good - I just got my highest score two weeks ago and that will readily get me where I need to be BUT this week my drills, RC in particular, have taken a hard left turn. I'm trying to be relaxed about studying this week, I'm going to take a pt tonight, but now I am not sure if I should hold off until Friday night or not take it at all and focus just on RC but I also have some LR I really would like to solidify too.

LR Score

hi all! I am averaging about -12 on LR prep test and each time it seems to be the 2nd half of the section that I get answers wrong. They tend to be a mixture of tags. Anyone have any advice on fixing this issue?

Losing Hope on LG

-5 to -7 on LR and RC, -11, -14 on LG. I've been doing games for over a month and my test is in 2 days pretty much. Really thought I was gonna be able to have these click but it just didn't. I thought this was supposed to be the most "learnable" part of this test? What is wrong with me

Reading the stimulus, I thought there was the following logical gap in Anita's claim:

having a quandary about newsworthiness(the premise) and the guidance being inadequate(the conclusion).

So I picked (D) since I thought it meant the contrapositive of my pre-phrase. However, is (D) wrong because of "ethical dilemmas" since the stimulus refers to quandary specifically related to newsworthiness?

Also, is (E) wrong because of making a "professional decision"?

Then, why is (A) the correct answer?

Main Conclusion Questionn

Is the main conclusion for main conclusion questions always explicitly stated in the stimulus? I was wondering if there was ever a case where the main conclusion turned out not to be in the stimulus but an answer choice that happened to be supported by all the premises in the stimulus. Or would this be a MSS thing instead?

Thanks.

Increasing Speed on LR

Any tips to increase speed on LR. I get up to question 19-20 with around 2-4 wrong but the last 5 I tend to have an average of 5 minutes to complete. Should I attack it in a different way maybe going with the lsat 5 Questions first then solving the rest any tips would be great!

Hi all,

I'm struggling a little with understanding how some of the conditional indicators (if, when, etc.) imply the exclusion of other conditions.

For example, the below makes sense to me:

If you are in New York, then you are in the United States.

Maybe because the content is familiar? Of course not being in the United States means you're not in New York, so /USA -> /NY

But, in the following example question:

A teacher earns respect if she fosters a love of learning.

Must we assume that if means if and only if, in this case meaning the only way she can earn respect is by fostering a love of learning? Couldn't she be a Nobel Prize winner that does not foster a love of learning, but is still respected?

What would my score be?

hi y'all, I am taking the jan test and just wanted to see what y'all think. I feel very confident on LG, it is my strongest section. I miss between 2-5 questions at the most. For LR and RC, I do miss around 10-12 for each section :( would this give me a decent score?

Hello,

I was interested in hearing your thoughts about how relevant older PTs i.e 60s-70s are for the Jan LSAT? I feel they are pretty different in terms of LR question types!

I have almost completed redoing PTs in the 90s/80s but I feel like my familiarity with them is helping me increase my score. How should I practice more relevant content?

Thank you

How to do flaws

I'm having so much trouble with finding flaws in LR. I feel like my NA and Flaw questions are suffering because of it. Can anyone explain to me their process when trying to find flaws?

Who reviews the explanations for LR questions that you get correct? I'd like to do it. I've read that it helps cement good reasoning. But there's just so many that it takes up tons of time. I always review the explanations for the questions that I get incorrect.

Feb LSAT

Taking the Feb LSAT and I don't know if I am on a good track.

I can do the questions pretty well (untimed) but with time I am rushing and getting the questions wrong or I am not able to complete all the questions without guessing. My main issue is just time. Idk how to approach the MBF/MBT questions without freaking out which causes me to lose more time.

Hey What can I do? I bought the LIVE 7Sage subscription but I can't do anything with it because I do not have the upgraded Law Hub account. I'm registered for the Feb LSAT and I'm losing time. I applied for the Fee waiver and was denied. I do not know what else to do.

RC Tips

Does anybody have tips on how to improve on RC? I typically get like -14 or -16 on this section and doing low res has helped but when the passage is difficult / under timed conditions, it does not seem to help me at all. I would greatly appreciate any help!

I have been doing fairly well on logical reasoning and reading comprehension sections, however, when it comes to logic games I can't seem to grasp the concepts. It feels as though there is some fundamental aspect of logic games that hasn't clicked yet and once it does it will all make sense. What I struggle with the most is setting up game boards. It takes me so long to just answer one question and I'm still left confused and unconfident by the end of the question. Does anyone have any advice on how to get better at logic games?

Logic Game Rules

hey i have a question

lets say there is a logic game with a rule stating "j is number 2" should we still write that rule or only put it into our setup of the game because it is a dead rule. im asking because if there is a rule question at the beginning of the game it would be easier to get rid of the wrong answers by just looking through the written out rules that you have instead of having to look at both the setup and the written out rules

PT94 - S4 - Q10

Is the solution D, because the stimulus does not mention which hospitals the patients are residing in? So even though one particular patient from City X is medevac'd to the hospital in City Y they are still considered a City X patient? Thus that is not a reason that City X has 1/4th of the patients of City Y?

Admin Note: Edited title. For LR questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

Confirm action

Are you sure?
