just realized like three days ago that I signed up for the LSAT in the eastern time zone and I live in central!!! I have been trying to wake up at 6:30am (central) this week so it won't be as bad when I have to wake up at 7:30 (eastern) but that was definitely something I should have considered when signing up!!! oops. any tips from anyone?? thanks in advance
I created a few Logical Reasoning practice sets for myself in Problem Sets but am finding that Reading Comp questions are mixed in....? Why are there questions that involve long articles and ask for the main purpose? I have never come across RC in my logical reasoning drills. The questions ask about the author and the passage and are not classified logical reasoning questions. #help
This is a method of reasoning question. I got the answer correct - B - because stimulus goes and defines unnatural and uses that to destroy the absurd claim it sets out to. However, why is AC D wrong? Is it b/c it is partially right and not fully correct. The claim does say doing something unnatural is impossible - hence to a certain degree that would be a contradiction...
Thoughts?

Hi 7Sagers
I'm planning on taking the October Flex but am struggling to improve my LG score. Currently I'm averaging around between 3 to 5 incorrect, and am hoping to reduce that to 0-2 by October, but not sure if that's being unrealistic :( I'm feeling a bit discouraged after taking PT 57 (the section with the infamous dinosaur game). I feel like my biggest struggles are finishing the section on time, not being able to draw my game board and draw global inferences as efficiently/quickly, and not knowing when to decisively split my game board.
I've already taken full practice tests: PT 1-20, and a couple from the 20/30/40/50's range and am planning on taking several more from those ranges and from the 60/70/80's range before I take the October test. I know it may not be ideal to take a few from each range instead of solving them chronologically, but I've heard it's good to practice with recent tests as well and I simply don't have the time to solve everything before the October test. I'm currently drilling PT 21-35 (games only), foolproofing those, and foolproofing all the LG sections from the full PTs I'm taking, but it's frustrating to see close to no improvement.
Do you guys have any advice on how to improve LG score in a month, and if this is even the most efficient method? Not sure if I should focus on solving more games before test day (even if that means I have less time to foolproof and review previously solved games), or focus on perfecting the ones I've solved before (even if that means I have less time to solve games either in drills or in full PTs).
Also, is it worthwhile to foolproof games based on game type (so today I foolproof Pure Sequencing games only, tomorrow Grouping In+Out only, etc.)
Open to hearing any of your guys' thoughts - Thank you so much!
Any suggestions or tips on maintaining the energy level during test (outside of doing more full test)? I find the first section I am great then something breaks midway through the second section. Thanks in advance.

Two friends, two completely different LSAT study strategies—so who’s right? In this episode, @AlexJacobs and @BaileyLuber explain how to structure your week with PTs, timed sections, and targeted drills to build toward a 175+ without burning out.
I have spent significant time trying to understand what the claim the correct answer (D) is referring to?

weaken: a cause b
a there b not there
b there a not there
Strengthen: a cause b
a there b there
b not there a not there
a not there b not there
Do you guys agree with the above? Are there other ways to strengthen/weaken?

Any suggestion is appreciated!
I do not understand why 7Sage teaches "except" as a biconditional. It makes more sense to me to see it as a simple Group 3, where you just negate the sufficient. I've seen other programs teach it this way, too. I'm not trying to get into a comparison argument. I just want to know which is going to be useful to me on the LSAT. Here's an example: "I go to the store, except on Monday." It seems that the aforementioned sentence is the same as "I go to the store, unless it's Monday."
I thought I had been getting better at LR, I took this section and got -9 which is no better than when I began studying. Kinda discouraging but I think this was a really hard LR section.
Is there a way to know (after initial setup) whether or not there are any apparent inferences that can be made? I often have trouble knowing if I should spend time searching for inferences or if it'd be better to just work through the questions
7 Sage Sentence:
Practice IS REQUIRED to be a skilled artist.
SA—->P
Loophole Sentence:
One MAN in his time IS REQUIRED to play many parts.
M—->PMPS
Commentary:
I assumed “MAN IS required” to be the necessary and “play man sports” to be the sufficient since MAN IS THE REQUIREMENT?!? (PMS —>M) however, regurgitating that info out loud to myself, I realized within context it didnt make sense; but when does the LSAT ever make an effort to make sense 🤷🏽♀️🥴😭...why is that Both statements above mirror one another in terms of terminology but differ in context ?!?! #HELPPP

COMMENTARY:
I am confused I assumed “MAN IS required” to be the necessary and “play man sports” to be the sufficient. (PMS —>M) however, regurgitating that info out loud to myself, I realized within context it didnt make sense; but when does the LSAT ever make an effort to make sense 🤷🏽♀️🥴I guess I’m curious to know why both sentences aren’t diagramed the same when their both in the same format ?!?!😭... #HELPPP
hello,
I took the diagnostic test, but I realized that I couldn't understand the passage.. What can I do to understand/comprehend?
Has anyone taken this section before?
Luckily, I've been narrowed my LR score down to -2 ~ -3 per section in the 60s.
And I even had -1 on the first LR section of PT 67. But, I somehow got close to -10 or so on the second part of the LR.
This section doesn't really have many 5 star difficulty questions, but I found this section incredibily difficult.
Did anyone have similiar experience? How was your experience?
Thanks in advance! : )
N/A
Would love to hear where you took it and how the experience went! Would it be okay to register for a test center in one country and take the Flex online in another country?
Thanks in advance!
I have no idea how the answer is E. I am not connecting anything here. Can someone please explain.
