Hey everyone I am scoring at 150, but I want to get a 165 does anyone have any good suggestions for improving reading comprehension I usually get 12-14 correct on these sections.

Mary Simms (outdoor advertising rep): "Billboards are the basis of our business. If they are torn down, our ability to earn a living will be severely damaged.

Jack Jordan (local merchant): "The basis of our business is an attractive community..."

When Mary said "our", she meant her advertising business.

When Jack said "our", he meant the town/community.

Hence (C) is the correct answer.

How should I be reviewing logical reasoning questions? I find that just reading the explanation doesn’t seem to help me much? I also go over the questions I am not sure about by reading forums but it hasn’t worked out well

How should I prepare for the lsat? I need some kind of in person interaction, but do not have the funds for private tutoring. I know this is 7sage’s forum, but are there specific courses people could recommend? I tried blueprint and it didn’t work out

While I was struggling with LR, I encountered and read Loophole by Ellen Cassidy. I am currently working on basic translation drill a training method introduced in the book; I read the LR passages and cover it up and write down or elaborate in my own words within 20 minutes for all stimuli in the section.

This, I find it very difficult since my English is secondary language, and it takes 1 hour to complete a section.

This method of training seems reasonable approach to conquer the LR in time but I wonder if this is something that can be improved.

Any advice or thoughts will be very appreciated.

Hi y'all.

So first to start im currently scoring a 1587-161, the score im aiming for is a 161 on my LSAT. LR and RC seem to be my worst sections, and since I've read LR is the most learnable (between LR and RC) I focused on improving my LR score. Im still missing about 8-15 questions in my RC section and most of it has to do with timing. I do much better untimed, and I've timed myself before on my phone and im able to do a RC passage under 35 minutes, im just not sure what's going on when I actually take it timed and can see the time.

Any advice would be helpful as I've tried literally everything I've read. Something to note is that I have horrible test anxiety (to the point where I've thrown up during exams) but unfortunately couldn't get an accommodation on time for the march exam.

Any tips for timing yourself on RC section? RC is always hit or miss for me depending on the difficulty of the passage. Sometimes I have to read sentences a few times to really understand them and then I short myself on time for the other passages leaving me either 1) completely guessing at the end or 2) quickly reading the passage and not fully understanding it therefore, getting questions wrong anyway.

Glad I saw this game with the outlier game types cropping up on current tests! Went in with way to cookie cutter of a diagram on the front end. Incredibly thankful for being able to adapt even tho it wasn't as quick as I would have preferred.

(kind of reminded me of assumptions I made on the multi-tiered car dealership game)

To anyone else going through Prep Tests chronologically, was this question a bother for you as well? It's about two people arguing over whether or not they should modify their 36 hour training shifts for prospective physicians. The answer, B, does not to me feel like it is the sound logical weakener that the question makes it out to be. B seems to be unrelated to the topic unless you make another assumption that the degree of illness a patient receives is a factor in why a doctor needs to make better medical decisions not generally but all the time. While this logic probably flies in an older LSAT, I feel that newer ones would write this question off. However, I still wanted a second opinion considering God JY hasn't put out explanations for the LR sections in this Prep Test.

I have been reviewing LGs and I am over thinking this I think...

You know how sometimes we split out game boards and make as many inferences at the beginning as we can?

When CAN you use those boards to answer questions, and when can you NOT use them (i.e., you would need to draw a new board)?

I am confused b/c sometimes I split out game boards, and the question reads something like "If J is in 4 then where must H be?", so then I look through my boards and find one where J is in 4 to see where H must go. But then sometimes I get those wrong... Because I did not create a new game board for the question...

Could someone please explain this one? Why it's E, not C?

Can someone help me with this question? I don't understand why AC C is correct and why AC D is incorrect

Hi,

I understand why B here is right, but I have trouble understanding why D is completely wrong. After all, couldn't "some" footprints include the footprints that Dr. Tyson is looking at, and couldn't missing a feature of the original footprint lead to a huge change in how the footprint is interpreted?

Any #help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Intuitively I chose E, but then crossed it out because the passage did not specifically state what is "good journalistic practice".

Chose B but then understood why it was wrong- I made an assumption about "interesting".

The last couple sentences of the passage say that there are a couple constraints to the method, but then the MP question says nothing about the constraints only about how the method is good? Im confused.

Hi All. I have two questions:

(1) Roughly when did the important distinguishing features of newer logical reasoning questions become the norm? I'm thinking in particular about longer and tougher stems, more frequent strengthen/weaken/RRE questions, less frequent formal logic questions, and generally trickier answer choices?

(2) In these newer LR sections, are the toughest questions typically found between questions #11 and 20? Or are 21-26 generally harder? Or has it gotten more random?

I've been largely following the "save the best for last" approach in my studying thus far, and so have only recently moved from tests #20-45 or so to more recent tests. Recently, I've begun alternating between tests near #80 and closer to the 50s, and plan to keep doing so. Today, though, I took my first test in the 50s (#55) after taking a couple near #80, and the LR sections felt much closer to the old style I'd been used to than the new style I'd seen in #78 and #80---in particular I noticed more formal logic, and that the hardest questions were located near the end rather than the late-middle. So I'm wondering what to expect. Roughly when did the shift that happened between early and late tests occur, and how accurate is my sense (partially based on some article I now can't find) that the newer sections have harder questions towards the late-middle?

Hey guys, when it comes to set the game board do you follow "JY method" or do you make your own game board. I would love to hear you guys' outlook Thank You.

Hey all,

I'm new to the LSAT world and was hoping for some insight on the registration process.

How does the process of registering for the test date work? Once I register and pay do I have the option to withdraw or cancel it?

Do the spots fill up quick or would it be okay to wait later? Do we pick our time to write the test the same time we register or do actual test times come out later?

Thanks in advance!!

This was pretty tricky, and I got it right, but I still don’t have a good understanding of what is technically wrong with A. How is answer choice A not directly contradicting one of P’s premises? It must not because it isn’t the right answer choice.

Video link: http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-69-section-4-question-15/

L: You philosophers say that linguists don’t understand language, but you haven’t provided evidence of that.

P: You say that “J and I are siblings” means the same thing as “I and J are siblings.” This isn’t true since the word order is different. For two things to be identical, everything must be the same.

What I am looking for: Both make pretty bad arguments (L makes an absence of evidence flaw), but we really only need to undermine P’s reasoning. P is wrong because he misses the point of what it means to “understand language.” The order of the words doesn’t matter necessarily; it’s the total meaning that matters. P assumes that “identical meaning” is influenced by the “physical” placement of the words.

Answer A: To me, this is attacking one of P’s premises directly (and that was one of the reasons I didn’t pick this one). Attacking the premise is technically an OK way to undermine an argument; the real issue is that the LSAT is very good at creating answer choices that SEEM to attack premises, but they really don’t. This one is different in my mind since it flat out contradicts the final independent clause of P's fact pattern. P defines “identical things” as “things having all of the same attributes.” If L responded, “I disagree with your definition since two things can have a few minor differences and be identical [referring to minor differences in physical structure, but identical meaning]” doesn’t this weaken the argument by directly attacking the truth of P's premise?

Answer B: I think this strengthens P’s argument since it provides another way that differences (context) matter.

Answer C: Wtf?

Answer D: This more succinctly hits the main point, and it is a much better answer choice that A. The issue is over “meaning," not the order of the words.

Answer E: More experience? So what?

I took the exam in Asia, so I believe its a non-disclosed exam. It's my first write and unfortunately, I completely lost track of time because of exam nerves (completely my fault, I know) and ending up having to guess the last page for both reading comprehension and logic games. Honestly, like a random guess, not even an educated guess. This sucks and I know that I shouldn't have let it get to me, but I would be lying to say it didn't affect my performance at all for my later sections. I feel like the material itself was not extremely difficult and quite similar to my practice tests, but I guess the whole "realness" of the testing conditions scared the living crap out of me so I messed up. I think this is definitely something I can work with, by setting up more realistic practice test taking conditions. The question is, I want some confirmation whether I should cancel or not. I would love some advice. The law schools I'm planning to apply to take my highest only, but I feel like because I bombed this one so hard I want kind of a somewhat "clean slate" for my next write. Hoping for the best.

Greetings everyone,

I just wanted to see what you guys thought f the passage I mentioned in the title. I had a very hard time understanding it. Some feedback would be great.

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-67-section-1-passage-2-passage/

I know how to translate rules when there is an indicators present but I am having trouble when there isn't an indicator. I confuse not both with always apart sometimes and it effects my timing.

for example on In/out problem set 2:

fenugreek is not included in the same recipe as nutmeg F(-)/N

Saffron is not included in the same recipe as Turmeric S (-)/T

initially translated these as not both. is it because its an in/out game that they are forever apart

on In/out with sub categories problem set 1 game 1

Gibson and Vega do not serve on the panel in the same year as each other

Hsu and young do not serve on the panel in the same year as each other

both are translated as not both rules according to lesson

help please

Hello,

I did not choose A (the correct answer) in this question because I thought "specific examples" was incorrect given the fact that the passage did not raise any plural nouns and actually seemed quite general to describe their examples. Can someone explain why the examples raised in the passage count as "specific examples"?

Thanks!

Hope everyone is doing well.

I took the Feb 2022 LSAT and my score still has not been released. Should I be worried now? I expected a slight delay in the release, but not this long! Has anyone else who took the Feb 22 LSAT not received their score yet?

Thank you!
