The title is all. Am I allowed to cover just the timer with a small post-it or something while taking the actual test?

@daphnepiper938 thank you for your comment! may I ask what you are basing it off though? really wish it was allowed :(
would love to join as well, thank you.
#help 21 - for questions like 21 i've sometimes seen the answer be an AC that is most unrelated to the question whereas here JY just immediately eliminates AC D and E due to being unrelated. is there any way to distinguish what the question is truly asking for? is the best AC always going to be a direct opposite of the part of the passage mentioned in the question?
are there any other explanations for this question? bump #help
does "either" include having the ability to have both? #help
either A or B means it CAN be both but just having one can suffice. how is A the right answer choice when Robbins is able to dismiss yet still cannot pass judgment? #help
bump lol i'm having the same problem. any updates @letsgo1st523 ? i think for UAO my errors come from my resistance to spending time reading entire paragraphs and matching structures with each AC.
thank you for your detailed answers @jacksonjulien138 and @claremont525 !
For example, for PT5 S2 Q17, JY solves the question by referencing from his past game boards from past questions to eliminate a majority of the ACs.
Does everyone "save" their game boards like JY does? If so, how do you go about drawing each of them out under limited time? Do you just scribble relevant figures in similar positions without making a full board?
So far, I have been making master game boards using pen and erasing memos written in pencil before moving onto the next question.
I'm curious because I feel like using JY's technique might be a game changer for me. Thank you.
that makes sense. thank you @declanpollard740 !
No idea how to choose correct AC between D and E; can anyone explain?
no need to be sorry @cherry641 ! your answer really clarified things up for me. thank you so much!
Hello all, I know there are a few posts on this topic but none of them quenched my confusion hence this post.
I have a few questions regarding the calculation of my test score (PT, real test, etc.).
Why is the raw score out of 101 when only 3 sections are graded?
Is the experimental section always the repeated section? (e.g. 1RC, 1LR, 2LG = 1LG will be ungraded)
Does the scoring mechanism enabled in the 7sage "Flex Score Converter" (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-flex-score-converter) apply to current LSAT tests (2022)? Curious as LSAC does not display current tests as "LSAT Flex", just "LSAT".
I'm really confused about the concept of "Flex" so I want to present a possible scenario:
Let's say I scored -5 RC, -0 LG, -8 LR in a 4 section PT. However there were 2 LRs (both -4) so I excluded one section by myself to arrive at a total of -5 RC, -0 LG and -4 LR. Plugged numbers into the "Flex Converter", did not tick the "2 LR sections" button, selected the correct PT number and received a 172. Disregarding the different curves for each test, would an LSAT test sometime in 2022 be scored the same way?
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
@jhaldy10325 thank you for your advice, will keep it in mind!
By type I mean MBT, Sufficient Assumption, etc. Just curious if you guys first identify it, then solve the question in a way that is unique to each type of question (diagramming, finding the assumption, etc.). If so I think I will memorize most of the question stems before attempting another full LR section haha
@kwillar9266 @Raffi Piliero hey guys, thank you for your answers, they were really helpful. i will keep them in mind as i study through the core curriculum. thank you again.
By problem sets I mean the LR ones with 5 questions each, usually in the middle range (in the numbered list of problem sets). I feel like my brain is burning out too quickly considering that I would have to solve 50 LR questions on the real LSAT.
Also, how many "3+ difficulty" questions are there usually in a single LR section (approx. 25 questions total)? I'm getting -1 or -0 on problem sets with questions below or equal to "3 difficulty" but getting more than 1 wrong in sets with questions with "3+ difficulty" and am scared :/
Any help would be very appreciated, thanks guys.
How can we render a claim trivial just because a trivial interpretation of that claim can rebut that claim?

@hansollee546 Thank you so much for your detailed answer! It's immensely helpful; will probably come back to this thread again and again. I hope you have a wonderful day :)
@hansollee546 , @hansollee546 , @jjchoi793829 , @tdreplayer777 , thank you for all the comments guys. A majority of you guys say that both practices (for LR and RC) have become "second nature"; may I ask what kind of markings you guys actually make on the actual test then?
I thought people would be actually underlining premises, conclusions, and writing low-res summaries on the actual test but doing it mentally seems to be what's happening.
For respectively the RC sections and the LR sections. For me they take up a lot of time but do help. I was wondering if people actually strictly follow these "tips" given by J.Y during real, timed full tests. Do you get faster at doing them after practicing?
@letsgo1st523 Yep, helped immensely. Thank you!
