Hey everyone! So I am consistently getting -2 or -3 for LR and LG, but RC is constantly -5 to -8... My scores are usually 165-167, but I know I could be in the 170's (my goal) if I fixed RC. Please give me any and every bit of advice you have. I have a lot of trouble focusing from time to time (think I might have undiagnosed ADHD... runs in my family and I have symptoms, but idk if it's genetic?) and I am usually good at reading but for some reason I keep running out of time and really struggling on the questions. TYIA :)

How are you guys approaching RC when doing low res? Since LSAT is digital, you can't write in the margins of the passage. Should we just commit to memory the low res of each paragraph? Or are we supposed to write them down on scratch paper?
going through core curriculum rn for LR. Should I consistently drill at hard?
AC A is correct because even though No creative employes are at the company we can not conclude for that that there is not one creative person in that company that it's what AC A is giving us

We need to connect the assumption that the appreciation of the play and the attention, and thats AC B

The passage starts with a conditional claim, then there is a shift, claiming that in order for the A ---> B B has a condition, so in order for the claim to be true we need to assume that the condition is true for all cases. That's why AC E is correct.
I choose A, I thought it was a Sufficente/ Necessity error confusion, but I can understand that the suttle part is when the argument give us an example of a recent research where flexibility works better than tighten groups if a common purpose is shared, but what if not? That means the sufficient condition is not meat and we lose the necessary condition, so we don't have an argument.
Will learning Logic Games help me understand logic better and do better on LR and RC?
Is anybody else way over time on there "set up target time" and way ahead on the "questions target time"? I feel like I'm alway about 3 minutes behind on the setup and 3-4 mins ahead on questions. Any advice to speed up my set up? I don't feel like I'm making an unreasonable amount of deductions. I feel like sometimes it just takes me a second to understand the game.
So I realize why it's C (reason for M's comeback "even students in technical majors are requred..."), but initially chose B. Can we rule B out because we are unsure of Ramona's stance on B?
Journalists often claim that their investigation of the private lives of political leaders is an effort to improve society by forcing the powerful to conform to the same standards of conduct as the less powerful. In reality, however, the tactic is detrimental to society. It makes public figures more concerned with mere appearances, and makes everyone else cynical about the character of their leaders.
The claim that journalistic investigation of the private lives of political leaders is an effort to improve society plays which one of the following roles in the argument?
I chose (A) It is a claim that the argument attempts to refute. However, the answer was (B) It mentions a justification that is sometimes offered for a practice that, the argument concludes, has undesirable consequences.
I think I understand why (A) is not the correct answer, but I am not entirely sure why. To my understanding, the paragraph can be split into 2 parts: one side states a claim that justifies investigating the private lives of political leaders, and the
other states the bad consequences. The second part does not outright refute what the Journalists are saying, so (A) cannot be the right answer.
Does my train of thought makes sense? And does anyone have any tricks/guidance on how to avoid making the same mistake in the future? All help is appreciated.

I can't distinguish between A and E- I originally chose A and then overthought it in BR and chose E. #help

So Ive been taking preptests and I seem to be stuck getting -1/-5 on LR. ITS DRIVING ME INSANE. I cant seem to get a perfect score on this section and was wondering how some y'all are studying for LR or how you went about drastically reducing the number of LR questions you get wrong?
Hi everyone ! Is there anyone in the Boston area! I would love to create a study buddy group for those taking the June LSAT
I am consistently not finishing the LG section when I take timed PT. I've been having 6-7 questions I do not get to before time runs out. However, when I BR I get a -0 on LG. Should I continue studying LG with the goal of increasing my speed to take the June exam? Or, do I just give up on LG and focus my attention on RC and LR and wait for the August Exam?

Can someone please explain question 13. It's frustrating there is no explanation available. :(

Hello everyone,
The Lsac website does not state whether or not tests in the 2024-2025 test year will be available in the remote format. Does anyone know if we will be able to take them at our home?
Thanks!
Hey everyone,
The chaining conditionals portion of the 7sage V2 curriculum (lessons 26 and 27 of Conditional and Set Logic) is quite complicated with little to no explanation on the skill builder. Has anyone used any other resources to help learn this portion of the curriculum? It seems very important, but with no videos or expanded explanations I am having a hard time with it.
I looked into using V1 in order to get more help, but that focuses a lot on LG and I plan to take the LSAT this fall (no LG). I suppose I could come back to this section, but it seems pretty important, so does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed if 7sage does not have further instruction on chaining conditionals?
Thanks,
Can someone please explain these correct answers? I am having issues :(
I plan on taking the June test and my numbers for LR/LG are almost right where I want them to be. However, I am struggling to see results in RC. Does anyone have any tips that helped them have a breakthrough or see more progress in RC?
Most vulnerable to criticism
Q-In a certain nation, stringent regulations prevent private landowners from building on their land if any endangered species is present on it. These regulations make the presence of endangered species a severe financial liability for many landowners and thereby discourage the landowners from protecting the endangered species on their land. Therefore, endangered species would very likely not be harmed by removal of the regulations on land development.
Correct Answer- (C) It unjustifiably overlooks the possibility that even if certain factors tend to produce a given effect, they may be likely to produce stronger countervailing effects as well
I picked A, but how can something "produce stronger countervailing effects" if countervailing literally means "offsetting an effect by countering it with something of equal force"? How can something produce a stronger equal effect?

I was in between A and C, and still don't understand how C is correct and A isn't
C: when comparing frighterning and non-frightening experience there is not a direct correlation because some positive experiences also release adrenaline therefore more memory retention
A: when comparing frighterning and non-frightening experience there is not a direct correlation because in some of the intense experiences, there is less memory retention

I am having trouble understanding what the question means when asking what is "IMPLICIT in the authors argument"
how likely do we think that one of these will show up on the June LSAT? I absolutely hate these games, but I don't want to waste study time going over them instead of the harder grouping and sequencing games.
