I test in August and was wondering what would be the most efficient way to spread out PTs as I have a lot I have still not completed. I was taking one a day but felt I wasn't learning much, anyone have a better approach?

Hello! I am debating if I should do the CCv1 or CCv2 and was wondering if anyone had any experiences switching. Apparently, the Core Curriculum v2 (beta) contains 84 hours of lessons, whereas the Core Curriculum v1 has over 217 hours of lessons. So I didn't know if I would be missing out on a lot of content by doing the CCv2. For references, I just started studying and made it through the Foundations of the CCv1and just started the LR. LSAT in November.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to approach this problem.

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.

can you explain why this weaken question is incorrect? I chose answer C, but the correct answer is answer E

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.

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?

I hoping to get my first two games down to a relatively speedy pace so I have time on the second two. What tags/difficulty should I be drilling that are representative of the first two games?

Hi, just wondering some thoughts on what the most effective study method is for most. Do I just go down through the syllabus in the order that it shows, or do I continue to stay in a section I am currently in (MSS for LR) retaking the drills until I start getting 100% on all the questions, and start to answer them with the targeted time? #help

Hi, why is C wrong?

I am about midway through logic games now and am hoping to finish the curriculum before August 1. I have no idea what to expect in terms of improvement. I am not a strong test taker and got a 151 on my diagnostic. I have been pretty serious about studying this summer and feel like I am grasping a lot of the material, and I am scheduled to take the test in September. I don't want to get my hopes up for my first practice test and expect some large jump in my score if that's unlikely. What experience have you all had in terms of your diagnostic score in comparison to the scores you got after completing the curriculum?

Can someone provide an explanation for this question? #help

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

Hi! Does anyone have the answer key for the December 2022 logic games? I found them somewhere on here a long time ago. I downloaded it and am now just trying them, but cannot find where I found them.

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 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.)

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

Hello I was wondering if anybody could help me with the reasoning in AC A and C.

I see how the correct answer choice of A would weaken the argument, if true, so I see how it's the right answer, however I am having trouble seeing why C is not the answer. My thinking was that time plays a role, like an alternative hypothesis/factor affecting theft rate in the neighborhood, that would justify less theft overall? So I dont know what is not clicking

Any help is appreciated!

Why is the correct answer A?

I’m planning on writing the LSAT in August and have been recently struggling with lr. I previously was averaging -6 but on the pts in the 80’s and 90’s I have started to average -11.

Please let me know if you have any tips to recover from this downfall.

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

Hello! I appear to hard time with sufficient and necessary which is leading to me applying them wrong in lawgic and getting the quiz questions backwards. Can someone please help in dumbing it down? I went back to review but somehow confused myself even more and might just be overthinking it now. I would appreciate any help.

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.

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've been noticing that I do worse on the second half of LR sections because I run out of time and the questions get harder. Is it a bad strategy to start with the second half of the test first? I just tried it and did better, but not sure if there's any downsides. I liked that at least when I'm running out of time, the easier questions are typically in the beginning..
