How do you guys review your wrong answer journal? Once I fill in the information about why i got it wrong and why the right answer is right etc, i just move on and don't really review after. Does anyone have a good system?

Hello everyone I'm not sure why the right answer to this question is C instead of B?

Hello everyone, can someone explain why the right answer is D and not B? How come they needed a Court house in those 10 years, seems to me like that was not in dispute?

Is it me, or did the preptests get way more tricky with LR bait answers between the 00s tests to the 10s tests?

I show improvement in RC and LG but LR seems so difficult to adapt to given the amount of bait answers that have become more numerous in the more recent preptests.

Hello. I am confused on why the 2nd section of LR, question 24, C is wrong for PrepTest 93 - June 2020

PrepTest February 1997 - Section 1 - Question 14 - AC E #help

I am confused here as to why AC E does not work. Although I have my own reasons, I am just looking for some confirmation on my thinking here since there is no explanation posted for this question yet.

From my understanding of the passage, we see no difference in the number of collisions at place that used to require headlights only when visibility was poor which then switched to having headlights mandatory at all time.

E seems to resolve this paradox. If a place used to only require headlights be turned on in poor visibility, but visibility is also poor all of the time, then we would expect everyone's headlights to be on all of the time. Thus, implementing a new law that makes it mandatory for headlights to be on regardless of visibility would have no impact on this, resolving the paradox.

Is the reasoning for E being incorrect the use of the word "frequently" rather than "always"? Thus implying that there may still be SOME difference? I can definitely see that being the case.

As for AC C being correct, is this due to AC C establishing that the use of headlights has no causal effect on collisions, and instead is simply case of correlation between safe drivers and headlight usage? It would then logically follow that increasing the use of headlights would actually have no impact on collisions, since now we will just have the unsafe drivers also using headlights at all time.

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.

In Answer Choice A, it states that the shortage of courtroom space was not experienced until 1990. This is not consistent with the passage (when Mayor Tyler claims that they experienced a shortage in 1982). How can this answer be correct if the facts are inconsistent with the passage.

Hi All,

I reviewed for the LSAT using 7Sage last year, didn't get the score I wanted, took a break, and am now studying again.

I'd like to use the beta version of Core Curriculum V2 to review core concepts and bring myself up to speed. However, I understand that the CCv2 is missing lessons and might contain mistakes, albeit very few. I'm wondering what critical LR concepts/lessons from the original Core Curriculum are missing from the V2 beta? After going through CCv2, I want to return to the original curriculum to review LR concepts that were skipped in the beta.

Thanks!

Can someone break this one down for me? I am really struggling to understand how D is correct.

Hello!! I am running out of grouping game drill questions. what do I do!! i definitely need more practice

Can someone provide an explanation for this question? #help

Hi, why is C wrong?

I Selected option B but the correct answer was option A

The reason I selected B is because I viewed that "some resident feel taxes where High" as the conclusion.

Could someone please make me understand why is option A correct?

Just starting out here. Hoping to take the November LSAT. Studying about 4 hours 5 days a week.

I don't understand the use of the word broadsides or the context of this questions at all. I was confused at what it was saying and what was being asked. Please help explain.

I selected D, but the correct answer is E. Can someone help me understand why D is wrong?

If I put Gina in the Wednesday slot, I am wondering why this pattern won't work:

Struggling to see what rule I am violating. Thanks.

Hi, does anyone know why the answer is B and not C?

How can you tell the level of difficulty for the passages in the RC section? I know the passages have gotten more difficult recently and they are not necessarily in the order of easiest to hardest? Should we attack the passages with the most questions first? Or should we just go through in the order provided?

By adding the correct answer choice, the argument sound coherent, and adding the premisse ( correct answer) bolsters the argument.

Since most automobile trafic is local, and most high speed highways are used by both commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles, a net saving in full was achieved with no loss in safety.

If you have a statement that says, "Not all A's are C's," then why can't negating that statement be "No A's are C's" in addition to "Some A's are not C's?"

I am kind of confused as to why the answer for this question is C and not B? I feel like a may be missing the basis of the argument because it seems that it is arguing for groups over individuals and not really having to do with founder v.s. non founder.

Why is the correct answer A?

I narrowed it down to D or E, but neither really made much sense to me but I felt D was a little better so I chose it, though the correct answer was E. This question felt much more like a reconciliation question rather than an MSS question to me

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a strategy that has worked very well for me in improving my performance on LR questions. I've been coming to the realization that around 95% of the time I get a question wrong, it is because I didn't understand the stimulus. At first, I blamed myself for this, saying that I simply was not smart enough to decipher what I was reading, and this, of course, did not help me whatsoever. But, as I started to progress through the lessons, I realized that the LSAT is intentionally confusing. If the test were written by sane, normal, and non-sadistic people who wrote English in the way we all do, the LSAT would be one of the easier standardized tests. So, I decided to look for places where I could find arguments contained in very complex and confusing wording and language. And that is when I stumbled across this thing called the Supreme Court. I found that the arguments they were presenting were strikingly similar to some of the arguments I've encountered on the LSAT in terms of complexity, grammar, etc. So I got to reading cases and this is the strategy I followed.

This trained both my comprehension and my memory skills. So far, I've done about 20 cases and I've noticed sizable improvements in my stimulus comprehension since then.

This is the book I used: https://www.amazon.com/Supreme-Court-Decisions-Penguin-Classics/dp/0143121995

(It is part of a larger series of civic books; I strongly recommend that you check out the other books).

While I haven't gotten to preparing for the reading comprehension section of the test, I am sure this will aid me in that too.

(P.S. Besides just improving your LSAT performance, I feel as though reading SCOTUS cases will be of other use as well. First, it is important to know your rights. Second, the Supreme Court is kinda important to the law and stuff and I think a prospective lawyer should know at least some things about the law.)

(P.P.S. Another strategy that may help is imagining that every argument you come across on the LSAT is being presented by your least favorite Justice; I think that will allow you to more readily see flaws in the reasoning.)
