P.S. I'm reading "Loophole in Logical Reasoning" by Ellen Cassidy and it's really helping me fill in the gaps in my LR knowledge. Not sure what the results will be yet but so far I think it will really help me in LR. Lots of people sing its praises. Good luck!

I hear it takes people some time to adjust to the newer tests, but once they do they get back to where they were scoring before. If I were you I'd postpone. IMO 2 months isn't really that much time even with full time study.

thanks so much for this!

Congrats! How did your test taking strategy change between mind 150's to 160? Did you employ skipping more often?

Hi @ there's still just one LR section for the August exam (and those afterward). Scores are based off 3 sections (LR, LG, RC) and one experimental section which can be any of the three listed. They got rid of the 2 LR sections when the in-person tests were cancelled. https://www.lsac.org/lsat/prep/types-lsat-questions

This is a really difficult question to answer. It really depends on what your diagnostic score was vs. what your target score is.

If you got a 155 and you need a 150 then you're pretty much good to go! I'd say you wouldn't need much study time.

If you got a 150 and you need a 170+ then I'd say you need to put in some serious hours. The amount of study time depends on how quickly you learn the material.

I've been at it since January and I still have lots more to go, but this test has not come naturally to me.

I think the argument parts are

Conclusion: "Such criticism is never sincere"

Major Premise/ Sub Conclusion: "Political agendas promoted in a manner that cannot be understood by large numbers of people will not be realized"

Premise: "for political mobilization requires commonality of purpose"

I chose E because I got tripped up by thinking the sub conclusion was the main conclusion because of the premise indicator "for".
