Hi! I am taking the LSAT in November and want to find someone to hop on a call of some sort to run through some of the more difficult LR questions because that is where I need the most improvement. I also want to find someone who is still in the process of applying to law school who can help make me be less stressed about getting everything right lol. I am in the eastern time zone and live in Lexington, KY. My availability is PM and Saturdays since I work full time currently. DM me if you're interested!

Hard RC Recs?

Hi! I'm taking the LSAT on Monday. My RC has always fluctuated, and I am hoping to practice with a really difficult section to make sure I'm ready for a worst-case scenario. Does anyone know of any particular RC sections that are science- and law-heavy and/or just have a lot of hard-to-spot inference questions? Thanks so much, and if you're taking October too, you got this!! <3

Hey guys, please help

I have been looking for a LR question that I did (I have impression because I spent 3 mins on it during blind review and it is pretty tough) but I couldn't find it even after I have gone through the entire question bank. I remember starring the explanation, but when I looked again it is just not there. I am getting super super confused right now.

Here are my clues: It is either PMR or parallel flaw, and I think less than 50% people got it right. I don't remember what the stimulus is, but the the correct answer choice is C and it has to do with something like city figure and crime rate.

JY also excliplitly stated that we should skip this question and not waste time on it during real test because it is extremely time-consuming.

Anyone has an idea?

Thanks!

This is for JY, if we have another answer choice ‘an activity that is conducive to healthy nation ought to be protected and encouraged by nation’ then, A, also this answer choice can be a right answer or just we are try to pick the bridge between main premise to conclusion. Thanks, lee

An idea just occurred to me about how to approach MP questions in RC. My accuracy in these Qs is about 80%, but obviously I'd like this higher, and it can still be a tricky question type for me (i.e, time sink). A strategy I started using in LR MP questions is if it's a tough one where two answers are nearly identical, I say to myself, "Which one could potentially support the other?" The one that could give support is not the answer. This usually works. I'm wondering if I could apply that same logic to RC questions. Are RC MP questions asking what is the conclusion? Is there a difference in this context between "Main Point" and "conclusion" (Which would mean that the main point, i.e, conclusion, would require the support of premises)? Anybody ever have the same approach? I'm going to start implementing it, but I figure I'd get some feedback. Happy studying!

Hey everyone. I am currently going through the core curriculum and have done almost all the weaken problem sets. I cannot seem to remember / apply the tips that J.Y goes through. And even when I get some questions right, I feel that I still cannot explain why one answer is completely wrong and the other is right (I always get it down to two answers and I pretty much pick the wrong one). I usually average 3/5 on the sets. Does anyone have some tips? It would be greatly appreciated :)

I’ve been having issues with RC. When I review questions or watch videos, all it gives me is the breakdown of the passage and doesn’t help with real-time issues regarding how I should map out the passage under time constraints. I either write too little or I write too much; I either eat up time going back to the passage or I spend too much on the diagram and run out of time for the Qs, respectively. Does anyone have a better system, preferably one that references the structure and a low resolution summary?

Hi!

This is killing me! Why can JNOP be a correct answer just because we happened to pick J first? Okay, if J is the necessary then O and N can go in too and also because they are OR groups and so both can be in S okay. But then why can't be in S as well? This doesn't make any sense to me. NOJ are in because its an /N--> and /O-->J as an OR group. But its /K-->P as an OR group so why can't K be there too like N and O were?

Original text ----------

Hello!

I have a question regarding an embedded conditional. Does the interpretation change on the base of where the comma is located at like the following exmples? Thanks for your help in advance, I appreciate it!

If S, then /B unless F

= S → /B unless F

= S → (B→F)

= S and B → F

If S, then /B, unless F

= /F → (S→/B)

= /F and S → /B

Answer ----------

[S and B -> F] and [/F and S -> /B] are the same!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I have found, as with many others I am sure, that time is the enemy (in general but way more so on the LSAT) When fool proofing are you guys starting out timed then just reducing the time each round, or do you begin untimed? I am never sure exactly how much time to give myself. I am not 100% on games ever but with a solid 15mins I can figure just about anything out (sometimes I still miss a question), but I know I will NEVER have that for just one game. I am not sure with what games I should be giving myself 8-10 mins, and which I should be giving myself 5...i've been thinking for fool proofing to give myself 10 mins on all to begin with, then each round of 'retesting' reducing it by two minutes? does that sound like a good idea? I really need to improve my logic games because right now I am finishing PT tests and getting usually all of the questions I FINISH right, but only actually finishing 2/4 games, which as you can imagine is killing my score.

Hi there,

I completed PTA RC, which doesn't have video or written explanations for the answers. Despite getting the answer correct, there was a major time sink on my end for the first question of the first passage. I want to reaffirm my thinking for the right / wrong ACs. Could anyone who has taken this PT confirm or revise my understanding?

Q1

AC A: Clandestine marriages is not at all supported by Donahue's position, lines 46-48 state that "so long as they acted in accordance with established bann procedures, a couple could marry without parental consent and still enjoy the blessing of the Church." Bann compliance is not considered clandestine. I had no trouble finding support against this.

HOWEVER, I struggled with whether the first part of this AC (concerning synthesis) is descriptively accurate and broad enough to be the MP. Is it accurate to say that "the doctrine of marriage by Pope Alexander III represented a synthesis of traditional ecclesiastical dnd legal opinion"? Would this sentence be accurate and potentially good enough for a revised MP or am I misunderstanding the passage?

AC B: More support for this is provided by the passage; no issues. (Based on mutual consent is supported by paragraph 1. Encouraged marriages based on love is supported in paragraph 2.)

Any help understanding this passage and question is appreciated! Happy studying!

I don't understand why answer C can not be correct. Wouldn't the fact that sicily was/was not cold affect the idea that the cold in China had nothing to do with the eruption? If you determine that it was not abnormally cold in sicily that would automatically mean that the eruption was not the cause of the cold in China.

We have B-most->Z which implies two inferences B-most->C and B-most->/O. When you combine B-most->Z with B-most->/P, that gives you the inference /P some Z. But can you also then take the two previous inferences, B-most->C and B-most->/O, in combination with B-most->/P to create to additional inferences, /P some C and /P some /O, respectively? If those last two inferences are not valid inferences, then why are they not? I ask because in the comments on the lesson, someone stated that you can infer /P some Z but NOT /P some C and /P some /O, which makes zero sense to me.

So I took the today's exam and I am currently feeling I bombed it so bad. I had one with the 3 LR's and I really screwed in RC. I guessed about 5 questions just in RC and probably missed another 6-7 questions top of that guessed ones.

My situation is little unique. It's my 4th time taking LSAT and previously I had 151,cancelled, and 162. If I cancel today's exam, I will not retake and apply in the coming cycle with my current numbers but I am wondering if that cancellation or lowest score from today's exam (such as like 155-157) will hurt my admission chance.

Some people suggested me that since the schools are only looking for the highest score anyway, it will not really hurting anything but I am so worrying right now.

Can someone provide some insight into why answer choice A is correct. I chose D because I identified the conflicting events/occurences to be the steadily increasing proportion of left-handers in newer generations despite the fact that overall-lefthandeness has remained constant.

The only answer that solved this for me was a decreasing birth rate. If less people are being born then despite there being a greater percentage of left handers in younger generations, for example as the question states 20% among 20 year olds and 10 % among fifty year olds, these greater proportions could still actually be equal to past proportions if the amount of 20 year olds born was smaller than the amount of fifty year olds born due to that decreasing birth rate. So the trend of constant overall and growing proportion in younger generations still works.

What I can see that would make this wrong is that is says a gradually decreasing birth rate, but if we are talking about 80 years, then idk how to gauge what would be considered gradual in that amount of time.

As for answer A, I am not seeing the resolution. I may be too built into my own answer, so anybody else please I would be happy to hear your perspectives.

Hi all, I started doing timed past tests but can't finish LG sections (LR and RC are fine). Should I come back and finish the leftover LG questions untimed but continue doing the rest timed? How should I go about doing timed prep tests now?
