Were y'all able to use the control F or command F function on the ProProctor LSAT platform?

wondering when the registration will start

Hello, I'm currently sitting -6 RC, -5 LR, -3 LG (PT average 163-165 over last 7 PTs). Any tips getting the LR down to a consistent -2?

For this question I am a little confused. In one of the videos, JY mentioned that a right answer for PSA questions should end at the same place that the principle does. In this question, the correct answer says that "Toril did not act responsibly." The conclusion of the stimulus is that one is acting responsibly. Is it possible for the right answer to have a different conclusion from the stimulus? Do other right answers work with contrapositives?

Hi!

According to your explanation video, the tutor said the cause here is 'technologically superior' and the effect is 'lower infant mortality' but i still can't understand why.

What I thought is the reversed version of that. The cause is 'lower infant mortality' and the effect is 'tech superior'.

And answer choice (A) suggests that the cause can be actually the effect of the other cause, which breaks the causal relationship between 'lower infant mortality' and 'tech superior.' So basically (A) is saying the cause is 'broader access' and the effect is 'tech superior.'

Is my thought process ok to use?

Can someone explain PTC, S2 Q08? I am trying to understand why A is the right answer and why the other answers are wrong.

Thank you for your help.

Hi everyone--just wondering if people have advice on how to improve with these problem types? I've found that I consistently underperform on these games and I'm not sure why--I think my main difficulty is maintaining all the rules and working within time, but generally I find that I get "stuck" with them more consistently than I do with grouping or regular "in/out" games. Thanks so much!

I've been working on my RC, and it's gotten better but I keep getting inference questions wrong. I get around a -8 on RC and 3 of those are usually inference questions. So far, I just keep practice drilling, but does anyone have any tips on how they handle inference questions? Or any advice on how to improve?

A and B seem like they are 2 sides of the same coin showing each argument is exclusive in some way so why is one right and one wrong?

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

Hey everyone. I am currently going through the core curriculum and have done almost all the weaken problem sets. I cannot seem to remember / apply the tips that J.Y goes through. And even when I get some questions right, I feel that I still cannot explain why one answer is completely wrong and the other is right (I always get it down to two answers and I pretty much pick the wrong one). I usually average 3/5 on the sets. Does anyone have some tips? It would be greatly appreciated :)

I was not able to finish my LSAT. There was an error after the intermission and my screen just went back to LSAC homepage. Proctor did not know how to address this. She told me to exit and message help desk of ProProctor. I was worried this would affect my test and so I asked her if I could continue and she assured me that it would not affect my test. I believed her and left; contacted Proctor was told to restart. And so I did, when I tried logging back in - I was not allowed in. There was a pop-up that said I should contact LSAT. I filed a complaint but I'm worried I may not be allowed for a retake on Oct. 25. I am an international test taker and the money is quite heavy but also the next exam is in January. I'm planning to submit my applications around Nov-Dec.

What should I do? I'm so worried or maybe what should I atleast expect? Will I have to retake all four sections if I am allowed?

After taking three practice tests, I have learned that READING COMP is consistently my best section and LG is the worst and it's not close. With the Nov LSAT being a little under a month away, what do I need to prioritize in terms of learning LG so that I at least become proficient at them? I'm not even concerned with going flawless, even if I went -5 on the exam, it'd bump me 8 whole points from my average. I can brush up and drill LR questions and such, but there are SO many logic games. What do I need to do? I keep hearing LG is the easiest section to improve but I feel like I'm still awful at them. Any help is much appreciated

Third and last attempt today. It has been one hell of a journey, and in exchange I have decided to get a 180. I’ll report back Nov. 1. Good luck yall

im local and in the West LA area would like to study with someone mostly LOGIC GAMES.....zoom or in person....

Hi everyone, I'm currently struggling with RC (mainly timing issues). I'm working with standard time and it's just not enough for me. When I'm practicing with a little extra time or just untimed, I tend to write out my low-res, view points and all that stuff and I ZOOM through the questions missing no more than 1 or 2 at the most on the passages. When timing constraints are on, my note taking is shit and I can't comprehend the text as much as I should be and I rush. Do I just need to slowly get rid of the physical note taking?

Diagnostic score of 145, currently PT’ing in low 150’s. Started studying in August and taking the LSAT in a month. Realistically, what kind of a jump can I make in one month? Best is -9 on RC -10 on LR and -12 on LG I think, and I’ve yet to finish the last game on a logic games section. Would love to be in the mid 160’s. Is this a realistic goal at this point?

Does anyone have a good explanation for this question? I picked B, and there is no explanation video for this question.

What the title says. I want to become better and faster at LG Inferences. I took a prep test (got a great score increase!) but I was only able to do two logic games. It took me sooooo long to get through those two games because I overthink too much and also I think about the inferences later while I am reading the questions instead of when I am drawing my game board. If I am being honest, If I can do at least three out of four games during the test I would be satisfied, I do not know if I can break 4 games fast enough before November ( but please tell me your tips, I am all ears and ready to put it all to practice to get this done!!!)

I just took the LSAT writing sample. I used every second. When the clock struck 0, I was taken to a page that said something like "Oops, error. Try reloading the page or talk to us in the chat". My videocamera and screen continued to be recorded. I chatted with a proctor and he said the close will tab. I'm still worried it didn't get submitted...... Has this happened to anyone else? How do I check to see if it got submitted?

My situation: I have signed up for the October and November LSAT and plan to apply for this round. The thing is that I just decided to apply to law school this June, so I do not have much time to prepare for the LSAT and take the test. I have great Anxiety and only got accommodation 50% more time for the November test (I missed the deadline to apply for October. In my PT, I am now around 164 for normal timed tests, but because I constantly get distracted by my anxiety, if under the accommodation time, I am around 172. My parents and friends all suggested I take the test in October, just not put all chance into one test, but I am afraid my anxiety will make a mess in October, making it even below 160s. I am concerned some law school admission boards would concerned about score gaps if I got a better score in November. I actually took the LSAT in August, which was definitely a disaster because of my anxiety. It turns out to be 151. I am just afraid that the nightmare will happen again in October without accommodation. With more resting time and extended time, things definitely felt better from my end. But, all the people around me suggested I should take the October test. What would you recommend? I think the main concern for me is the score jumping if I messed up in October, or if I take then canceled will the admission board think that is a terrible grade and still consider it be a score jumping.

Greetings Friends,

I am really stuck on comparative passages. Every other passage I am solid on and rarely get any wrong, once the comparative show up I will get -3,-4 on that passage alone and completely screw up my RC section. Any tips to get better at them? Going through and answering questions based on passage A does not work for me.

Thanks,

I feel very stuck. I've managed to nearly perfect my LG and I've never struggled much with RC, but for some reason I can't seem to get over this hurdle with improving my LR. Whenever I get one wrong, I watch the video explanation on it. Sometimes it makes sense, and sometimes I feel completely and utterly lost no matter how many times I rewatch it.

I know some people are going to tell me to drill my fundamentals until my brain hurts, and I do, but so many questions still make absolutely no sense to me. It's not even a specific section I struggle on, it's just... all of it.

Does anyone else feel this way? What do I do about it? Advice?

Edit: Whenever I look at another RC or LR question, I feel sick. I actually enjoy doing LG and find myself doing some just for the enjoyment of it, but RC and LR... the mere idea of reading another stupid paragraph about some trivial crap is making me want to run a railroad spike through my skull.

Can anyone please explain the pattern of reasoning that would make the answer C?
