Hey! Does anyone know when/how we will be able to sign up for our date/time with ProctorU for the February exam? I haven't gotten an email yet and just want to make sure I didn't miss anything!

I've been struggling with MSS questions, so I drill every day. I would love someone's explanation of why D is correct. I chose B. I find myself I think making assumptions instead of taking everything I need for my answer from the stimulus. Along with this, any strategies for MSS questions??? Thank you!!!

Need help with this question. Understanding it was a little hard.
I was wondering when it is appropriate to start foolproofing logic games? I went through each kind of game (actually through blueprint's curriculum, but I really disliked Blueprint's explanations, so I just signed up for 7sage). I have a general feel for each kind of game but am still not great and below average at LG.
I plan to start foolproofing the games from tests 1-35 (aim to do 1 or 2 a day) and on the side continue drilling with 7sage a few games a day (not necessarily foolproofing).
Does anyone have any input?
Reasoning structure currently seems like an abstract idea when it comes to reading comprehension. My goal is to make it more of a practical understanding, kind of like how I understand diagramming in logic games.
I am starting to think of looking at reasoning structure for a reading comprehension passage similar to how I look at a method of reasoning question on logical reasoning. This seems to help, but need to practice this more with passages.
Any insight on I can transition my understanding of reasoning structure from something abstract to more of a practical understanding?
Is there a explanation video for this question, I was not able to find it.
LG is by far my worst section and I am looking to test in June. I'm on the "Introduction to Logic" section of the Core Curriculum (pretty early), but is the core curriculum necessary before getting into "Introduction to Logic Games & Sequencing Games"?
Also, I bought the Logic Games Bible. At what point in the study process should I start with that-- is there a section in the CC anyone would recommend getting to first? Thanks.
LSAT Trainer by Mike Kim (pg. 320) talks about how the opinions of the author of a reading comprehension does not need to be a main point.
How can this be the case?
I want to be able to discern between the two.
A natural follow up to this question:
Is there a subtle difference between understanding "Why the author wrote the passage?" and "Why the passage, in general, was written?"
.
Main point questions are pretty much the only questions I really struggle with on RC, and can be really frustrating and time consuming since they seem pretty subjective. Does anyone have a trick to deal with these questions specifically? Thanks
Could someone please explain this one? Doesn't only one flight have multiple Saturdays in between?

I understand this might be a stupid question, but what is the best way to diagram on the LSAT? I've just started studying Logic Games and I'm diagramming on notebook paper. Since the LSAT is administered digitally and paper isn't allowed, what should I do? I guess writing everything on screen with a mouse doesn't seem that efficient to me.
why is D incorrect? In responding to the Rotelle, Sims shows that the same could be said about Rotelle's youth and inexperience when it comes to age, so isn't that thereby showing he is contradicting himself? How should one choose between D and E?
Is D correct because identical twins have the same genetic information? Is this just something we are supposed to know or is the answer warranted by the passage?
For those of you who have RC as experimental section, wonder which RC is the experimental one?
I am struggling to figure out as to why A is the correct answer.
It's unclear to me why D assists in weakening the argument? Isn't the argument that efforts have not worked to have people recycle plastics? If so, how does it weaken the authors argument that recycling methods have improved for non-plastics? Very confused. TIA

Looking to help some students struggling with LR in the 130s/140s/150s. Don't hesitate to reach out.
I recall taking a single timed LR section as part of the syllabus at or near the end of the LR curriculum, however I deleted it and can't find it anymore.
I would like to retake it to assess where I'm at after taking a hiatus from studying, however I can't find it anywhere. Does anybody know where I could find this?
Thanks
The last 3 PTs I’ve done I’ve scored exactly -9 on all three tests. I don’t ever seem to do worse as in -10+ but at most I’ll come down to -7 but usually it’s -8/9. I have no idea what to do anymore to improve this section I feel like it’s holding me back so much. If anyone has any tips or just any advice on something I could try I’d be very thankful. Really frustrated at the moment with this consistently mediocre performance.
Hi everyone,
This seems like it's a relatively easy question but I cannot understand why answer choice (b) is right over answer choice (a). Doesn't answer choice (b) strengthen the argument since Salmonella is has to be quickly identified and treated and new test detects Salmonella at levels that are low to pose a health risk to people?
Please share your wisdom!
Thank you!
can someone help? I don't see a distinction between both levels of oxygen
where can I find this lesson in core curriculum?
anticipated right answer but still got it wrong :(
Premise: there have been no nuclear wars
Conclusion: nuclear deterrence has worked
I thought there might be an alternative explanation for there not being any nuclear war so I thought A provided that answer. If nukes were expensive wouldn’t that provide an alternative explanation for why there isn’t nuclear war?
