Analyzing My Answers

I took a look at the September LSAT and what questions I missed in the logical reasoning section. I scored a 147, and I would like to raise that score to a 155 or higher. I think that these questions are the key to that improvement.

Missed questions as follows:

Parallel Argument- 5

Flawed Reasoning- 3

SA- 4

NA- 5

Weakening- 3

MBT- 2

I was wondering if you could look at the question types that I missed and maybe help me pin point a few of the problems that are causing me to miss these questions types? Like am I not focusing on relationships or assumptions? Really, anything would help me.

I look at the questions and I think the issue falls somewhere between the SA, NA, and weakening questions. I know those questions are connected is similar style, but I am not sure how and why I am missing them. Thank you for the help.

Help with Necessary assumptions

I took the test in Sept. and I have been able to narrow down the parts of the test that I struggled on. I struggled on the necessary assumptions and the sufficient assumptions on both the practice and real test. I have gone through all of the videos and looked through multiple articles to try to figure out exactly what I am doing wrong and I can't figure it out. It is like when I follow along with JY, I understand perfectly, but when I am doing the questions myself, I never figure it out like he does. Can anyone offer any hints, or articles online that might clear up the situation for me? I would really appreciate it.

I can about 95% identify the conclusion and arguments in most situations.

I do understand the difference between sufficiency and necessity.

My diagraming is okay. I have watched the lessons over and over again and I still struggle. In fact, when I started the diagraming, I started missing more of the assumption questions. I think I have started to over think it.

I often don't see the gap in the reasoning. I think that is where I am falling.

LR Help

I improved my LSAT score from the September test to the December test by 4 points. I am now taking the February test to try and improve my chances of better scholarships and a few schools median score are only a few points away. I have reviewed my test from December and I missed the same type of questions as I did last time. The break down of the questions missed are as follows:

Assumption- 9

Strengthen- 4

MBT- 3

Parallel- 4 (Honestly, I didn't try on these questions because I see them as time eaters)

Flaw- 3

Paradox- 1

I am wondering what I am missing with the assumption questions. I struggled during my prep before this test. I just could not understand how to answer the questions.

Also, does anyone believe I am making a mistake to take the test again?
