Any tips for timing yourself on RC section? RC is always hit or miss for me depending on the difficulty of the passage. Sometimes I have to read sentences a few times to really understand them and then I short myself on time for the other passages leaving me either 1) completely guessing at the end or 2) quickly reading the passage and not fully understanding it therefore, getting questions wrong anyway.
Help! I always get these wrong and they seem so simple. I don't understand what I'm missing. Any advice?
Commenting to stay on this thread because I also suck at weakening questions
On ordering games where a rule says x is lower than y, does that mean x is less than y? For example, if there are 6 slots, if y is 2 then x is 1 right? Or did I just completely bomb the November exam LOL.
The sufficient assumption makes sense but still slightly confused about a necessary assumption. So in an example where " if x --> y. and the conclusion is y therefore, x. Which variable is the necessary condition? X is the SA because you need it in order to get to y but I don't understand how NA plays a role in this case.
Disregard, I figured it out :) The necessary condition has to be introduced.
Someone please help. I’ve rewatched the section on sufficient and necessary conditions and I can’t figure them out for the life of me which is really hindering my ability to answer SA and other types of questions. Has someone came up with some sort of paraphrasing that helped them understand it better. Knowing when and how to do the contrapositives is also confusing.
I feel like I take PTs too often. Shouldn’t I just be focusing on understanding the material instead of “hitting a certain” score.
I’d like to be added!!
Registered for the September LSAT. Scoring 154-157 on PTs. Goal score is 160. I’ve made a 10+ point increase simply by drilling and reading. Starting to realize I need to hone in on specific question types I’m getting wrong and keep doing them until I have a solid understanding of those question types. With this new study method, is it realistic to reach my goal score in exactly one month or should I push back my test to October?
What’s the low resolution method?
I second Matt's comment. I went from a 145 to a 155 in just about 2 months by consistently drilling LG.
Hi All!
I'm currently registered to take the September LSAT. My goal score is a 160+ (160 minimum for me to do apps). I've been consistently scoring in the 154-157 range for the last month. It seems I've hit a plateau. I normally miss about 8 LR, 5 LG, & 10-15 RC. It's obvious reading comp. is my problem area but considering I take the test in only a month and I'm just a few points shy from my goal score, should I try to increase my RC score or focus on perfecting LG since that is the easiest section improve on.
Also, any other general study tips are greatly appreciated!
Hi! I'm currently studying and working full time 9-5. My first question is how flexible is your job/work environment? I get majority of my studying done at work during slow periods. Obviously there are some days when I'm busy my full 8 hours but those are very rare. If you can get an hour or two of studying done at work and then fit in more when you get home that would definitely help. You could also try waking up early during the week to study before work and then study when you get off. I understand people have very different lives and schedules but honestly, if you really really want it, you'll find time to study. It may be difficult at first but you'll be surprised what 2-3 months of consistent studying can do. Also, a 148 is a pretty good starting point. My first diagnostic was a 142 and I'm scoring in the lower 160's now with just a few months of studying.
