Fool proofing LG

I am in the CC in LG, and I am having trouble with this section. Should I fool proof everything that I have trouble with and not continue with the CC until I fool proof everything? I feel lost as to what to do. LR and RC are my strong sections.

MSS Questions

Are the MSS questions in the 7Sage course basically the same as Inference questions? I was looking for Inference questions on my syllabus but I don't see any specific courses for Inference questions. Just wanted some clarification. Thx.

I am having trouble with logic games. I understand what I am doing when I have my tutoring session, but when I am by myself, I have a mental block. I know how to do 1:1 ordering games but do not know how to do the others. I am terrible at math. I did buy a prep test for the games but I do not know what to do. Logic games is my weakest section but I want to practice and learn how to do logic games. I did watch the foolproof method several times on this site, I do not know how to set up the game by reading the rules. Sometimes I am able to discern whether it is Underbooked, Overbooked, etc., but I do not know what to do. More often than not, I guess when I am taking the practice tests. I do not know what to do. Please help!

Hello! I am having some trouble with the question types and general strategy for RC. Does anyone have any outside supplements that they have found helpful specifically for RC? I'm in the process of drilling RC passages now and any help would be great.

It is incredible. I just finished the LG curriculum today, and so all evening I was drilling LG sections.

I was having a ton of trouble getting all the way through the sections. I felt like I was hardly getting the easiest LG's done in a timely fashion, and had no time for the last few questions... if not the whole last section.

Then I discovered I had been setting my timer to 25 minutes instead of 35. I then started setting my timer for 35 minutes. Poof, like magic, after I discovered that one little hack I finally got my first - 0 on the very next section.

Cheers to all of you burning every last synapse up in preparation for the December test - you're not alone!

OR statements diagramming

I have a sincere doubt on diagramming 'OR'....

A or B is it incorrect to diagram as A --> /B , B --> /A

i know group 3 indicators are diagrammed as /A --> B , /B --> A

but would it make any difference if I simply drew A --> /B

been racking my brain about this....

PT3.S4.Q9

Can someone help me understand the following phrase within the stimulus?

"This willingness is even more revealing than is good-natured acquiescence in having others poke fun at one".

In other websites, I see many people making connections between hearing funny story about oneself and self-confidence (Hearing funny story about oneself -> Self-confidence). I don't understand how they make such connection.

Thank you in advance!

PT9.S4.Q23

I diagramed the stimulus as follow:

.

Conflicting behavior organization --> More pain and distress

Conflicting behavior organization --> Animals resist --> Less efficient

.

My question is I don't understand why (E) is correct. I feel like (E) negates the sufficient condition to state the answer, which is an error.

.

Somebody please help! Thank you!!!!!

December and February?

Any December testers out there planning on signing up for February also? I'm debating this plan. Since we won't have scores until after the deadline for February sign ups, we have the option to register for Feb now and receive a full refund as long as we cancel within about a week after Dec scores are released. December will be my first take (I pushed back from both June and September knowing I wasn't ready), and I'm nervous about having only 1 shot for this cycle. At least if I take February, I could use a higher score then for scholarship negotiations, right? Anyone else planning on signing up for both of these? Is this a good plan? I guess it's low risk since I could cancel, but just coughing up more and more money along the way is tough. Sigh.

So I finally got my nerve up to do blind review on the September LSAT, aka PT 82.

I got a 179, after a pretty lax review.

I made at least 5 mind-numbingly obvious mistakes, including one that I definitely just mis-bubbled.

I want to punch a wall. I could have reached Everest!!!! Aaaaaaaah!

Trying to spin this into, "in december, I won't make dumb mistakes, and I'll crush it!" But it's gonna take a minute.

Sorry for ranting, hope maybe anybody else in the same/similar situation can take comfort in knowing you're not alone! Next time friends!!!

NA Questions

I still don't understand how to do NA questions. I'm having a lot of trouble with this. I've watched the videos but for some reason it's still not clicking. Is there any advice or different approach that I can take for this type of question? Thank you!

Hi

Can anyone tell me why this question " the reasoning above is questionable because it fails to exclude the possibility that." is not "fails to include"? Doesn't "fails to exclude" imply that the reasoning included such idea, and by doing to, the logic fails?

I thought the reasoning was flawed, because the possibility was not considered in which case the question stem should read "fail to include".

LG Drilling Advice

Hi Guys!

I currently drilling Games and as per JY's advice I've printed out multiple clean copies. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how I should space out doing a game.

I find that I have trouble on a game the first time but after watching the explanation its crystal clear and when I do it again I get great timing and 0 wrong. Should I keep doing the game multiple times in a day and then move onto another one or should I do it until I feel confident and revisit it in a few days and see if I'm consistent?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

PT5.S3.Q01

Hey Guys, anyone able to help me understand this question?

I interpreted it as:

Terry: WDJ (want decent job) --> C (go to College)

Mark: it is not the case that WDJ --> C. there are other reasons for wanting to go to college than wanting a good job.

So you can translate Marks statement into: WDJ some C.

I have no idea what answer choice is right, though i initially thought B. So lost with this one.

Thanks in advance!

In questions such as these "the author implies that paintings with religious subjects included buildings bc..." or "the author suggests that Venetian paintings were painted by authors who..." or "which of the following can be inferred from the passage about pumps that are currently available" or "it can be inferred that most legal scholars would agree"

I consistently find them more difficult and get them wrong more often than not... does anyone have any tips on how to tackle these questions? Should I be treating them like another kind question type?

Thanks!!

Hi!

I noticed that if I miss a Q in RC, then the Q missed is an Infer Perspective type Q - Inferring either Author's opinion/attitude or that of others. This is kinda odd, because I do well with LR MSS type questions.

I must be doing something wrong with these RC inferring questions. Does anyone have a good strategy/methodology in approaching inferring perspectives type Qs?

Much appreciated!

Does anyone have suggestions for how to approach parallel method of reasoning questions under time pressure? I feel like these questions in particular take up a lot of time during a timed LSAT. Any recommendations for how to approach these questions under time pressure?

I have 2 degrees, in Art and History and I did well in both. I am absolutely the worst on both types of passages in the RC. Literature throws me sometimes, but not as consistently as the former. I know that bringing past knowledge can sometimes screw with you in answering the questions, but even topics I have no previous particular study, I still can't seem to grasp what they are asking me. I was wondering if there was any outside study guides anybody used that really helped them get a grasp on these types of passages? I am getting -0 on law and science passages, but blowing my score with -3 (timed) or worse on the passages I would've thought I would do well.
