Hello!

Across my last 15 PTs (50s - 80s) I consistently scored -1 to 0 on LG. I consider it by far my best section and can always rely on it to carry my score. However, on both the April and June LSATs, the last game completely destroyed me. I found myself guessing on 3+ problems, which I never do in any of my practice tests. It was not a time issue either; I had plenty of time during both tests yet could barely get past the game board setup stage since the questions felt so different from the PTs.

After the April test I practiced a ton of different games at all difficulties and had really high confidence going into June's test, only to be destroyed by the last game again. How can I prepare for LG for the August LSAT? I feel like I've done a billion games on 7Sage and consistently get -1 to 0 on all of them, yet when I get to the real thing it feels completely foreign.

Which LGs are similar to the April/June 5 star games?

Hi, I've recently improved quite a bit in reading comp in my past practice tests, scoring in the -0 to -4 range in timed and/or BR typically. However, sometimes I feel as though I take too long on certain passages and especially questions. At times I only have a handful of minutes when I start the last passage in a set, sometimes not being able to get through all the questions with a proper analysis and answer attempt. I usually get the hard and hardest questions right when I do invest the time but I still just always spend too much time it seems. I like investing a lot of time into understanding the passages I'm reading, breezing through questions quicker than the marked expected time according to the analytics, but taking longer than expected to read the passages.

Should I simply be more willing to lower my odds of getting some questions right in order to get a proper attempt at every passage and question in a set?

I recently took the June Lsat, I consistently scored between 160-163 on the four or five consecutive practice exams I took prior to my test. I ended up getting a 156 on the actual exam. I dont know if this drop may have been due to nerves (I had technical issues the day of my exam and was not able to start for an hour after my shceduled time and this had me very anxious and stressed). I took all PTs under real testing and time conditions. I wish there were a way to review my official LSAT and see which questions I missed etc. I am already registered for the August exam, this time at a testing center, and I'm hoping for a 160+. Any tips on what to do this time around? Im scared to not study effectively and just waste my time, I feel like I've done every LSAT question there is. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

This is a MSS

By reading the stimulus and knowing were looking for a MSS. I can deduce that because some of the funghi that grows on the forest floor provided by dead logs are beneficial to some of the trees, than answer choice A is correct.

B We don't know

C We don't know

D We don'tknow

E Here they talking about Dead and decaying trees, the stimulus is referirng to Dead logs, which is different

I got this one wrong, I chose E, but now I see that we don[t know the relation between English literature and French literature, what we know is the origins of the language, trap answer for misreading.

The correct answer is A, cause its the only thing we can deduce from the stimulus.

B We don’t know

C We don;t know

D We don’t know

Help!

Can someone help explain this particular question to me?

I'm really thrown by this one. My thought process: a country with a stable economy is less likely to experience inflation or deflation. That is the assumption the author relies on. I thought (A) best reflected that, but the answer choice is (C), which I am struggling to understand. Why is the production of goods or services (which inflation/deflation depends on according to the author) specifically apart of the assumption?

PLEASE HELP

Hey guys, i'm wondering how people are planning on balancing their LSAT studying with prepping for applications. For context, I took the June test and got a 160, im hoping to take again in October to boost that as much as possible then have my application done in early November. Alot of things ive read and heard say not to wait until after your score to start apps cause they tend to take longer than you think to get through. Also, I am working full time so I really need to plan a course of action to not over commit myself. Any advice on how yall are metering your application essays while still grinding for the LSAT?

Prep Test 17 Section 4 Passage 3 #16

Could someone help me with why D is not the correct answer?

In the second paragraph, it gives the stats for carbon taxes and says "It should be noted, however, that these numbers ignore the effect of the tax on economic growth, and hence on emissions". Doesn't that imply that the taxes need to account for the effect on economic growth, and are thus influenced by it and would vary based on the effect that the tax would have on a country's economy (D)?

So I am registered for the August lsat and currently averaging 157/158. I was previously scoring 160 highest being 162 before coming across the more difficult lr on pt 80s and 90s.

I am wondering if I should push my test to sept or if you guys think it is possible to increase my score to 162 range by August test.

This question was doozy. I wanted to share with others my notes on how I got the correct answer during Blind Review. During the timed test, I would most likely skip this one and save it for later. It took some time for me to translate the stimuli into a format that made sense to me.

At first, I also thought that the sentence in question was the conclusion of the argument. I had to ask myself what the author was really trying to convince me of; that it is not necessary to be at home to be in your house? No. The author was trying to convince me "You can be in your backyard and not at home, that is, not in your house."

So, my notes to decipher it and arrive at the correct answer looked like this:

Difficult argument structure. I think it is C because if we rewrote the stimuli into easier language to read and understand it would look like:

Conclusion: You can be at home if you are in your backyard but not in your house.

Premise: For example, you can also be in your house but not at home if you rent your house to others. (If you're the landlord you could be in the house to do repair work, but you are not 'at home' because you don't live there)

Premise 2/Subconclusion: Therefore it is not sufficient to be in your house to be at home.

Translation of answer choice C: Claim is compatible with the truth or falsity of the conclusion = This is a premise/sub conclusion
