Hey everyone,
I am having some difficulty with the five star questions in logical reasoning sections. Often times, these are the only questions that I get wrong on a section. On one hand I suppose it’s good that I’m getting the 1 to 4 star questions consistently correct, however, I’m getting pretty irritated haha
The question types are across-the-board. There aren’t really any specific questions that I do worse or better on when it comes to five star questions.
What is your preferred method for improving this?
Thanks!
This is one of those questions where I would just use the process of elimination for ACs A-D and then just choose AC E because I don't know what to make of it.
Look at the analytics page. Which questions are you getting wrong on a consistent basis? I was getting -9+ on LR and saw that PF and NA were my weak points. I hit those question types hard on the problem sets and was able to get them all correct on my recent PTs. Try this for the questions that you're consistently scoring low on.
Depending on where you are located, the schools you are looking at may have different criteria. For example, at the University of Victoria, they look at your cumulative GPA but may remove your lowest graded courses, bumping that GPA up a bit. Other Law Schools in Canada also look primarily at your final two years only. I think it's different in the USA.
Check with the school first to see if they will accept a January LSAT. My top choice does, as their application deadline is January 15th. Some may only accept November as their latest test. Assuming your school's deadline is January, it should be fine.
I am in the same boat as you and have decided to focus on January's LSAT and forego November.
So from this question we can infer that "often" does not imply "more than 50%" on the LSAT, right?

Also, PSA always includes "principles" in the question stem (at least in this quiz they do). Sufficient Assumption questions always end in "is assumed" (again, at least in this quiz.)
I've even laid my laptop screen flat on the table to read it and use the same movements that I would if it was on paper. I suppose it helps a little bit, but I am still having to read it a few times over.
I am in the same boat as you and also found that putting in 40-50 hours of a studying a week is far too much. Mind you if you look later on in the schedule, it includes all of the Prep Tests that you'd be taking. The more tests you can do, the better. Right now, focus on working through the core curriculum and then do as many Prep Tests as possible.
I did not realize that "means" and "action" could be interchangeable. Makes a lot more sense once you word it like that.

Can anyone share their honest opinion about the test?
I wrote on Sunday and thought that it was very straight forward. Didn't find any of the sections particularly difficult or with odd content.
