Any tips to increase speed on LR. I get up to question 19-20 with around 2-4 wrong but the last 5 I tend to have an average of 5 minutes to complete. Should I attack it in a different way maybe going with the lsat 5 Questions first then solving the rest any tips would be great!

Hi! For those who have completed PT 94, can someone please explain game 4 for me? I think I diagrammed my rules correctly but the questions literally destroyed me.
Thank you so much in advance!
Is the main conclusion for main conclusion questions always explicitly stated in the stimulus? I was wondering if there was ever a case where the main conclusion turned out not to be in the stimulus but an answer choice that happened to be supported by all the premises in the stimulus. Or would this be a MSS thing instead?
Thanks.
Hi all,
I'm struggling a little with understanding how some of the conditional indicators (if, when, etc.) imply the exclusion of other conditions.
For example, the below makes sense to me:
If you are in New York, then you are in the United States.
Maybe because the content is familiar? Of course not being in the United States means you're not in New York, so /USA -> /NY
But, in the following example question:
A teacher earns respect if she fosters a love of learning.
Must we assume that if means if and only if, in this case meaning the only way she can earn respect is by fostering a love of learning? Couldn't she be a Nobel Prize winner that does not foster a love of learning, but is still respected?
If I am getting -10 consistently on reading comp and i am taking jan lsat, should I just cut out an entire passage, and try to do my best on 3 passages?
Can someone explain why AC A is correct?
Hi, I see how AC C is correct, but I do not see how AC A could not also be correct? Could someone please explain by AC A is incorrect. Thanks!
Does anyone know of similar games to those included in PT 94? #helpadmin
I'm having so much trouble with finding flaws in LR. I feel like my NA and Flaw questions are suffering because of it. Can anyone explain to me their process when trying to find flaws?
Who reviews the explanations for LR questions that you get correct? I'd like to do it. I've read that it helps cement good reasoning. But there's just so many that it takes up tons of time. I always review the explanations for the questions that I get incorrect.
Hey What can I do? I bought the LIVE 7Sage subscription but I can't do anything with it because I do not have the upgraded Law Hub account. I'm registered for the Feb LSAT and I'm losing time. I applied for the Fee waiver and was denied. I do not know what else to do.
Taking the Feb LSAT and I don't know if I am on a good track.
I can do the questions pretty well (untimed) but with time I am rushing and getting the questions wrong or I am not able to complete all the questions without guessing. My main issue is just time. Idk how to approach the MBF/MBT questions without freaking out which causes me to lose more time.
hi y'all, I am taking the jan test and just wanted to see what y'all think. I feel very confident on LG, it is my strongest section. I miss between 2-5 questions at the most. For LR and RC, I do miss around 10-12 for each section :( would this give me a decent score?
I have been doing fairly well on logical reasoning and reading comprehension sections, however, when it comes to logic games I can't seem to grasp the concepts. It feels as though there is some fundamental aspect of logic games that hasn't clicked yet and once it does it will all make sense. What I struggle with the most is setting up game boards. It takes me so long to just answer one question and I'm still left confused and unconfident by the end of the question. Does anyone have any advice on how to get better at logic games?
Does anybody have tips on how to improve on RC? I typically get like -14 or -16 on this section and doing low res has helped but when the passage is difficult / under timed conditions, it does not seem to help me at all. I would greatly appreciate any help!
I am applying for Sept 2024 cycle, I've had a really rough year. Initially registered for the Jan test, however had a huge confusion with Lsac and didnt know that appoinments had to be made for tests. Missed the deadline and now my only option is Feb. Besides an lsat score I have a strong application, but do you y'all know if waiting till Feb of this year is realistic with Canadian and Ontario Law schools?
hey i have a question
lets say there is a logic game with a rule stating "j is number 2" should we still write that rule or only put it into our setup of the game because it is a dead rule. im asking because if there is a rule question at the beginning of the game it would be easier to get rid of the wrong answers by just looking through the written out rules that you have instead of having to look at both the setup and the written out rules
I usually score anywhere from -2 to -1 on RC sections, and I've recently started scoring much worse (-6, -4, etc.). Any insight as to what's going on would be much appreciated!
PT94 - S4 - Q10
Is the solution D, because the stimulus does not mention which hospitals the patients are residing in? So even though one particular patient from City X is medevac'd to the hospital in City Y they are still considered a City X patient? Thus that is not a reason that City X has 1/4th of the patients of City Y?

I took the lsat in november and this was my first time taking the lsat and I didn't really study that much maybe a couple of weeks. I got a 135 on the november lsat and after seeing my low lsat score I was eager to see with a couple months of studying would I make a huge jump or improvement before taking the January lsat. The test is in a couple weeks and I am overwhelmed with studying. I am a senior in college and the semester especially with midterms and finals have taken away some of my actual study time from prepping for the january lsat. I have taken a couple practice test and I still seem to be getting 135 on them and not really improving. I am at a crossroads because I wanted to see if I could get at least a 150 on this January lsat to get into this law school in my area this cycle. I feel like if it doesn't happen now I will not pursue it after I graduate this spring from undergrad. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I was interested in hearing your thoughts about how relevant older PTs i.e 60s-70s are for the Jan LSAT? I feel they are pretty different in terms of LR question types!
I have almost completed redoing PTs in the 90s/80s but I feel like my familiarity with them is helping me increase my score. How should I practice more relevant content?
Thank you
Would someone be able to explain to me why C is incorrect?
Can someone help me understand how we can infer [A]? It says that officers deviating from cognitive interview techniques is problematic because it might make the cognitive interview less effective. I eliminated it because although the author suggests that officers deviating from the cognitive interview techniques is problematic, they doesn't say why it's problematic. And then the answer choice infers that it's problematic because of decreased effectiveness. I eliminated it because we don't know if that's the reason... it could be problematic for other reasons.
How is it an acceptable inference?
When one of the rules are:
if A is selected then B and C are also selected
so A--> B and C
if you negate(Not select) JUST ONE of B or C not both, does A also get not selected or do both B and C have to be not selected for A not to be selected? For In Out Games
For the questions that ask: "The argument's REASONING is flawed because...", would the right answer choice explain why the support structure is flawed?
Alternatively, for questions that ask: "The argument is flawed because...", would the right answer choice explain why the conclusion is flawed?
Need help clarifying
