I’m getting into the weeds of the curriculum. Earlier on in conditional and sufficient reasoning, I see the use of diagramming. However, this creates so much more confusion than it’s worth. Has anyone had any success in LR without using the extreme details conditional reasoning? It’s easy in the LG section but doing 4 or five in one string is time consuming and confusing. I’m not trying to score a 180, just a solid 160+. Thoughts?
About how far out would you suggest doing PTs weekly. And then 3 times weekly? I take the test in June and am 75% through the curriculum. I’m using powerscore
This is a great explanation. The issue I am running into is the some of the questions in my drills have absolutely nothing to do with the information in the stimulus. I know in these, the answers are all treated as facts and the stimulus is suspect, but some answers look so far fetched I move on, only to find they were actually the right ones. I’ll keep plugging away at it.
Do you have any input on the resolve the paradox issue I need mentioned in the main text?
Hey folks, I’m taking the June test and am currently in the dissect stages of understanding each question type. Out of the 13 LR question types, I’m stuck trying to understand the correct info in a resolve question. I’m using powerscore but for some reason, this isn’t sticking with me. It’s the only LR issue I’m having so far. Thoughts?
P.S. For those that are studying 5-8 hours per day for 6+ months, either you’re full of it, or you will emphatically burn out. 15 hours a week is solid until the last month, then 20 should suffice. Probably not even that much is required.

Hi everyone. I should have stated to reach out to me in DM. I have been answering students one at a time but am all caught up now. Thank you
What’s the specific issue you’re having? 2 months is plenty of time. I have a regimen that took me from not having a clue what LG was to -0 every game every test. It’s a lot but it worked great for me.
Godspeed to those taking the test in July
I was researching resolutions for these situations. I did see that as a result of difficult of questions OR testing irregularities, a curve may be invoked. Granted, it wasn’t LSAC but an article that discusses the origin of the LSAT curve.
I think this may be unlikely but in certain situations maybe? I’m glad to hear most people didn’t have problems, but this was a horrific experience. For me, LG was my first section, halfway through I’m smoking through the games, one to go, the proctor intimates that I’m doing something wrong by asking abruptly what I’m doing with my scratch paper. After explaining I was allowed to use it, he went to ask his manager, all while the clock was running. I asked him to stop it and he said he couldn’t. By the time he came back and confirmed I could use scratch paper, 10 minutes was lost, as you all know a critical amount of time. I had only minutes to complete the last but most difficult game. They refused to add the lost time. They said I can cancel or finish as is. This jacked me up the rest of the test. Lost all confidence in RC and LR, all because I couldn’t stop thinking about what happened.
I was PTing in the low 160s, would be surprised if I broke 150. Unsatisfactory to the max

In your opinion, what is the best way to improve? Right now I'm just really slow to make inferences during games, if I make them at all. A lot of the time it takes me the entire 35 mins just to get through the first two games.
