I made huge improvement on these by doing the basics---rewatched JY's curriculum on the topic and type up a list of the "common argument flaws"---he lists about twenty or so. Reviewed that frequently. Then I printed out a bunch of flaw questions (from "problem sets" under "resources") and went through them slowly, highlighting for each the conclusion and prem, and took my time trying to articulate the flaw(s). (No peeking at the answers!) Then I went over the list of common flaws to see if I'd missed any possible issues. Then I'd hit the answer choices, asking for each one 1) is this descriptively accurate, and 2) does this support the conclusion. Made myself work out why/why not and say it out loud. I practiced that every day for about a week and have not had trouble with these since. Sounds simple, and it is. Just break them down (go slow) and it will soon become automatic (to go fast). Best wishes!

I didn't find the LR to be particularly difficult as others have stated; I usually aim to skip/guess on four or fewer, and that was the case with this one, too. Skipped/guessed on four total. RC was not particularly difficult either, just average; finished with about 12 seconds to spare, which is about right for me. No passages that I thought, "I have no idea what this is talking about" so that's a plus. LG was straight forward, no crazy "what the hell??" type games. I typically complete three games and nearly finish the fourth one, and that was the case here as well. Had to guess on the last two. So all in all I'd say it was a best case scenario really. No curve balls. Biggest battle was settling down my nerves in the beginning of the test. That definitely slowed me down in the first five minutes. Bummer, but to be expected. And all the Proctor U stuff worked like it was supposed to, proctors were all polite, no problems.

If what you're doing doesn't seem to be making gains, don't waste your time running your head against the wall doing it over and over! Sometimes taking a break is just the thing to cure what ails you. I bet if you work on something else for a while, when you circle back to the LGs that are driving you nuts right now, you'll be amazed at how much better you've become at solving them. It's worth a try anyway. You're going to be applying a lot of the same techniques and strategies to all of the games, so every individual game (regardless of type) is training your brain to get better at LG as a whole. And if you keep working at it you will get faster and more accurate. You just will.

Just a thought--I've taken the digital LSAT and find it cumbersome to highlight and try to mark up the digital screen. Sometimes the highlights don't take and you have to attempt to highlight a second or third time, not to mention all the scrolling involved, so I stopped marking up the digital page entirely. Now I only ever practice using a computer and scratch paper so I'm always in the habit of looking back and forth from the screen to my paper. It's a different sort of time waste, all the checking and rechecking, but for me it's faster than trying to mark up a screen. And now my brain isn't scrambling in the background thinking, "...that's not what I'm used to..." which is another annoying subtle time/focus waster! Sounds like you won't have to change anything about how you organize your work once you get going, as you'll have plenty of paper to work with on test day. It's just the actual marking up of the text that will be a challenge. Try to practice as much as you can with the digital format to see what works for you. For me it's just so far from an apples-to-apples comparison it wasn't worth trying to transfer my old methods to the digital page. And just in case you're interested, the scrap paper you're provided on test day (assuming you take the test at an in-person location and not at home under quarantine---yet another fun consideration!) is a booklet like the ones you may have used in the past with other standardized tests. You'll have it for all sections of the test to use when you please, and you'll also be given a stylus/pen. I didn't find the stylus to work any better than a fingertip for manipulating the screen--and I'm certainly not in the habit of practicing with a pen--so I didn't use it. Hope that's helpful info for you!

Hi--I'll be spending the week doing the same old thing, continuing to prep at a steady pace. I don't want to disturb the force, but keep trucking with the same intensity all the way through. I took the test last year and rested the day before, didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and I'll do the same thing this time. The day of the test I'll do a few logic games to warm up in the morning, and that's about it. Eat a good snack before, get a little shot of caffeine, get the pencils sharpened, and try not to worry about any technical glitches...that's pretty much it for me. Preparation is about to meet opportunity, so just do your thing.
