Every time correct AC allows and requires subtle assumptions, I failed to make them.
Every time wrong AC does not allow and not require subtle assumptions, I DID make them.
The most recent LRs are just NIGHTMARE.

a 161 is not a bad score! it is above average and you can get into many great schools with it. Hold your head up high!
Thank you very much! Wish we both have a good application cycle!
Got 161 at Oct 2020, Jan 2021 and oct 2021.
I feel like the whole year had been wasted.
I scored 168 on both of the newest PTs, and I feel really confident at the October test.
Anyways, congrats to all who get what you want.
Okay, I spent 30 seconds and chose D and moved on.
The second round I glanced over AC E, and for some unknown reasons i believe E is the right one and D is a trap.
GG
I feel this question is logically identical to Q21 (the Alzheimer question) in this section.
Both of the correct answers undermine/support the validity of the given premises that are put into really complicated sentences.
I thought if A--->B--->C, then A--->C is a direct cause.
My bad.
Does anyone have the same feeling?
I bombed every single LR section after PT70.
I find that LR questions after 70 allows more room for making subtle assumptions and hence the answer choices are not as clear as before. This is probably the reason why I got trapped more often.
Day 2. It seems like a completely different test with day 1.
I had RC-LR-LG. The RC is dense as Fxxk. Each passage has average about 5 paragraphs. The content is just weird; there is hardly any logic in it. The passage is hard; the content is hard and the questions therefore are hard. I think overall is harder than all of PT80s+.
LR seems pretty reasonable except couple of tricky questions.
LG is really average. I’d say is no harder than PT80+. Only one game has somehow tricky setup, so just be careful.
I bet when next time LSAT makes a similar question, C would be wrong because they would say attacking a premise is not attacking a conclusion.

I just finished about 30 minutes ago. I had LR-RC-LG and @ your experience sounds a lot like mine. The LR was almost more unfamiliar than difficult. The RC was, as far as RC goes, not bad at all. LG was pretty typical, but one game was super challenging and I flat-out ran out of time for the last few questions. Just had to make educated guesses. I honestly have no idea how I did on the first two sections, could've been great, could've been awful. Pretty sure I underperformed in a big way, but who knows? I did it and I didn't die. So, yay!
I have the same LR-RC-LG. IMO LR was really easy; RC was brutal. I think I was probably burnout and I bombed the LG. There was one huge time sink in LG and I run out of time. LG was always my best(-0 or -1) and I'm wondering to cancel this time.
Just finished the November lsat flex.
I got LR-RC-LG. LR was very easy and it’s probably like something in the 60s. RC was just brutal, and I feel it’s even harder than the October’s RC. LG was always my best section (average about -0 or -1), but this time I just feel really bad. I don’t know if it’s because LG was the lsat section or what, but I just could not make any useful inferences at all.
I got 161 in the October test and I’m wondering if I should cancel this test or not.
should I just use the 161 to apply my safe schools and retake in January?
Just finished. I was disconnected twice during the exam, but my proctor kindly paused the whole test to fix the issue. Luckily it was solved pretty quickly.
My overall impression for this test? A little bit weird😂.
WOW such a well-written epistemologically metaphysical philosophy passage!
I thought D needs a stronger assumption than A.
Damn I'm just so confused about those modern day LRs.
I'd prefer to see some conditional logic heavy arguments with 10+ necessary assumptions from the old days.
Just for curiosity, is this reasoning somehow circular?

You are not alone my friend.
Took the oct 2020 and scored 161.
Kept practicing 3 months, averaging about 168 and still got 161.
Same here. I scored 161 in oct 2020.
Keep practicing for months and averaging about 168.
Jan 2021 lsat still 161.
I though D was a really good strengthening and eliminate it in 3 seconds...
-7 for the whole RC section and 6 were from this passage.
LMAO.
Still not convinced about B.
The way I was thinking about B is that Shakespeare is a writer and he can write what ever the hell he wants.
Whether he read Latin or English version doesn't matter a lot.
