Is it just me or was anyone else completely thrown off by the games in PT88 including the first game even though it's scored 1/5 and I have done well on all other in/out sequencing. What was this section???????

Hi- I have saved the most 4 recent LSAT to take before next Tuesday. Wondering what other people's strategies have been leading up to test day to ensure they are getting the right practice under timed full test conditions (rather than timed sections), without burning out
Aiming for mid 150 and I suck at LR. I guess questions 20-25 and place hold all the NA and SA questions between 1-19 and do those at the end. This way I can focus on the questions that I am good at between 1-19. I am trying to allow myself to get no more than 10 wrong in LR and usually get -12 or -13
For all of my LR sections, I always get NA and SA questions wrong.
Does anyone have any tricks on how to master NA and SA? Even NA being Q3 being easy I still struggle with I do not understand the framework. Getting these right will allow me to break into -10 or even -9
Does anyone have any advice or tips on how to attack an LR section differently? I tried the loophole but do not see the powerful/provable method being of much help to me personally
Any help is appreciated

I am aiming for that too. All the tutors I used and the best strategy I found was to do the 3 games to give me more time 11 minutes and change a game to ensure I get them right and then pick an answer choice for Game 4 and guess across. The first game is usually the easiest so I get that done in under 10 minutes. I do about 12 minutes for G2 and G2 and then whatever minutes are left, even 1 or 2 minutes I try my best to at the very least answer Question 1 on Game 4 since it is the easiest being an acceptable situation question

#help Loophole: Has anyone who read the loophole able to explain how choice E of all the answer choices is the most powerful? I know it is not "linguistic" because there is no keywords and that confused me. How is E more powerful compared to the rest?

#help where does it treat "most people favoring" as a necessary condition? I don't see that. I understand the
If most favor --> airport built
But then it goes
Favored --> built
Which is bad conditional logic but how is the original sufficient of "if most favor" being treated as a necessary? Where?

#help., I originally put C but then the premise of the argument LITERALLY says "there is nothing new in this idea of growth". Doesnt this eliminate C? He is saying there is nothing new in this idea of growth so how is the AC that he is overlooking possibility that new reasons for restricting growth have risen. Isnt this refuting the premise because he explicitly says otherwise?

Yes me! I just canceled April LSAT and am taking June!
Hi everyone I took the April LSAT and am cancelling my score for the June LSAT retake. I continue to struggle with RC. Trying not to get bogged down by the articles stating RC is the hardest to improve but I cannot seem to grasp how to get through at least 3 passages all correctly. What is your strategy? What is your method of attack when approaching a RC passage? What do you look for and ask yourself along the way? Appreciate any input thanks

@starcatchers367 what do you mean by low hanging fruit
Hi everyone- any tips on the Powerful vs. Provable framework in helping to eliminate the answer choices? Loophole mentions this but it's a bit confusing. Can anyone try to break this trick down? In terms of question type and how powerful/provable AC either should be eliminated or be the correct one?
Thanks

#help I dont understand why AC C is wrong but A is right? Wouldn't C work for the exact same reason A does? To say that they need not collect every art style of every period does justify the fact that the amount of contemporary art being small is appropriate, no? If you don't need to collect art of every style at every period then shouldn't it be okay to not have so much contemporary art? How is that NOT justifying?

#Help, wouldn't D also weaken the argument? The stim is saying the trucks are safe. But wouldn't the drivers having a special license for them weaken the argument? I was stuck between B and D. They both seem attractive to me. Can someone explain why D is so clearly wrong I am not seeing it?
For the same reason B explains that the highways are spread out and therefore it is not the truck but the fact that it is more spread out, which weakens, doesn't D also weaken in the sense that its not the trucks themselves that are safer but the drivers operating them because they got special licenses?

In! Also preparing for April Flex. Im on discord too.
Hi everyone- studying for the April 2021 LSAT. Started at PT 50 to do a game section a day and LR here and there. RC needs work.
In factoring my allowance of how many tests to leave before April's LSAT, how many do you typically take, in terms of sitting through full PT in the lets say 3-4 weeks leading up to your test? How do you space them apart?
Looking for general opinions so I can create a schedule, appreciate it, thanks
Looking for an affordable tutor for just RC to help me understand how to read the passages quicker, struggling with this section the most, thanks

#help answer choice D, isn't the "single fact" that is incompatible mentioned in the last sentence after the word Since...the "typological theories does not count sibling species as separate species, it is unacceptable". Isn't the bolded part "the fact" mentioned in Choice D, and it says it is unacceptable????

#help, I am really not understanding this, mental block. How is C correct?! How is the effect of a sugar SUBSTITUTE, aka, NOT sugar, enough to weaken an argument that discusses the effect of SUGAR, not sugar substitutes. When I did this PT, I read answer C and thought "what does that have to do with the conclusion of sugar, when C is talking about sugar substitutes"?
What am I missing? Can someone help clear this up? Appreciate it

#Help Question 16 I chose A because in lines 31-32 when it says "usually dark throated", that is preceded by saying explicitly "Indications that plumage probably does signal broad age-related differences..." and then mentions adults usually dark throated. Choice A is literally a negation of the wording surrounding the words mentioned in lines 31-32 which is why I immediately crossed it off.
