I'd love to join something like this, especially with calls to review content/ sections.

0

Hi! I'm interested in putting together a study group for the April 2024 LSAT (if you're taking the test earlier or later, still feel free to hop on!), details below.

I'm currently scoring: 175-179

My planned test date: April 2024

My goals for this group are: Get together a regularly meeting group to review practice sections and tests, go over answer choices, and cement understanding.

We'll focus on: Solidifying strategies for RC and LR is my current goal, but any review and reenforcement would be helpful.

When we'll meet and what we'll do: TBD

How to join: comment here and I'll DM you, or DM me your email and I'll make an email list to send to everyone with a link to vote on meeting times. Looking for once or twice a week meetings :)

Thanks for reading, good luck to everyone!

If LG is your worst section, is there a reason you're not waiting until August to take it, so that you take it without LG?

Hey! I also struggle with not knowing where to start and with LG what I've come to is just a very simple, very dirty, just put something on paper. Then, make needed adjustments. There have been multiple games that I've started one way, then ended up switching to diagraming it another way entirely by the time I've finished reading the rules. Stay flexible and remember that everything you're learning is a tool.

Other than that, I've tried to watch the example for the first game of a type (sequencing, in-out, and grouping) and then for every lesson after that, I attempt it, untimed, on my own, before watching the video. I've found it to be helpful to catch errors that I'm making as I go through the curriculum instead of learning it all, and then attempting the questions. It's just what's worked best for me.

With unlimited time to study, and the clear commitment and care that you have for this test, I have no doubt you'll end up proud of your results.

The contrapositive of choice E would be Good Journalism -> Satisfies Public Curiosity or is Accurate. The arrow's going the wrong direction so it starts and ends in the wrong place.

1. It is not the case that every creature in the sea can be eaten, after all, sea urchins are poisonous.

2. Every meal made in my house contains either blueberries or tuna. This salad does not contain blueberries. Therefore, it must contain Tuna.

3. My mother must have opened my letter, because, the letter was opened when I came home and my mother has been acting strange all day.

Except, no, they're not both plausible options.

A says 'a weaker correlation' not 'no correlation' and anyway, it's all muddied up because you're mixing the correlation for the entire group, one of which includes insomniacs, one of which doesn't, and then comparing, and that won't net you anything useful. A still allows for the possibility that melatonin does help insomniacs, since a weaker correlation is still correlation.

C I didn't love that it specified 'significantly,' but all of the other answers could be eliminated.

Is there a correct version of the final sentence: "Responsible for corresponding with law firms and other veterinarians’ offices as well as responding to client demands, scheduling appointments, preparing clinic, and answering phones." ?

Hi! I'm also taking my test in January, and Logic Games has been a WAY harder learning curve than I thought. I will say that 3-5 of study 6 days a week honestly might be too much. Right now, I average 2 hours a day, and feel burned out the days after I go more than 3 or 4 hours, but of course all of that is relative to what works best for you. What I'm currently doing is going through the logic curriculum, drilling the question types as I learn them ( so this week I'm doing the curriculum for sequencing games, and drilling them at the same time, next week I'll do the curriculum for grouping, while continuing to drill sequencing.

It sounds like you might need to change up the methods you're using to work the games. Any advice is going to have something to do with you timing. How long are games taking you (for easy ones and hard ones)? If you're finishing quickly, but getting more wrong than you'd like that's different situation than if you're taking a while and still getting more wrong than you want to. My time's been a struggle for me, but I've gotten it down to less than 5 minutes for some really easy ones by first learning the concept, then drilling it with no regard for time, then, when I have the concept down, drilling with increasingly decreasing time until I can consistently get it in under 6 minutes.

Drilling won't do you any good if you're not learning from it. Are you keeping and reviewing a wrong answer journal? Are there patterns in the types of questions that trip you up or take you a long time? Are you ever fool proofing games? Are you using blind review?

Also remember that Logic Games is the easiest to learn, but also tricky and so different from most of what we've had to do before. You CAN learn this, you just need to figure out how you get it to click/stick in your head.

Hi! First of all, "stretch" should not be equated to 'some kind of change like shrinking.' The LSAT is very very specific with the words that it uses, and it will work against you if you generalize like that. In the most particular, nit-picky world ever, which is the LSAT world, stretching and shrinking are two different things that can be done to cloth. In answer choices, even one wrong word (and often its only one) will be the reason you eliminate the whole answer. This is a hyper specific test, that pays you no benefit if you generalize specific words. The definition of 'stretch' is the only reason why the C answer choice is incorrect, and if the word had been 'shrink' instead of 'stretch' then C would have been correct, and E would not have existed in this form.

We absolutely can infer that artificial fibers don't change form based on the first sentence, so if hot temperature cause ALL fibers to revert to their original state, and it is only natural fibers that shrink, then what can we know about artificial fibers? That their original form is straight.

Hi Lilian!

I also struggled with #23, but ended up getting it right in BR. What I would advise is that same thing that J.Y. advises, which is to read a little before and a little after, since the question is specifically about the job that the quote is serving in the paragraph. I think its easy to get a broad understanding of the passage, and then to go read a quotation and say 'oh, that relates to xyz that the author said, or the source said' BUT this is a trick they expect you to fall into- hence the misleading answer choices.

The best way to guard against it is to determine EXACTLY where the quote lives, and what its doing in that particular place.

I initially put C - Indicate how they demonstrate the high degree of adaption of Japanese Americans to United States Culture. for this exact reason, because I remembered a discussion of adaption and reasoned that the quote was coming around that time and could support that. I also was nervous about the 'notability' phrasing because I knew that it only came up once in a particular context, but upon BR, I reread where the quote was located, realized that it was in direct reference to the instance of notability, and changed my answer choice. This one, and all other 'what is the quote doing' should be read in the context of the paragraph, otherwise you'll try to extrapolate it to mean things that the passage as a whole is saying, and you'll get steered wrong by their answer choices.

Its a good reminder to scrutinize every word, and if even one is off, you can eliminate the whole thing.

For example, answer choice E says something technically correct, but if you reread the paragraph, this is what they are presenting as their hypothesis, and the question was about what the quote was doing, well the quote was immediately preceded by a 'because' which had the correct answer attached.

Also, just so that I can type it here, I actually answered D, because I felt like they were united in how they were all dismissed by the author, but the is wrong because while yes, the author does dismiss all of these theories, her dismissing them is not her showing their 'unity.' Instead, she only covers the similarities and encompassing umbrella of each of them in the second paragraph, and then discusses the details of each, and then the shortcomings of all three, which is why E is correct.

Exactly, and that's why D was eliminated, but the above comment seems to be referencing C, which is that it "accounts for a shift in the theoretical debate".

While this passage may indeed be part of a larger article that explains the reasons for a shift in theoretical debate, as could be potentially indicated in the first paragraph, we're not trying to figure out the main point or driving argument behind the larger article that this may or may not be included in, we are strictly limited to the text that they supply us with, and in the text that we are given here, yes they say in the first paragraph that new theories are being discussed, but then then the next four paragraphs talk about the social psychologists theories, their explanations, and their shortcomings. There is a paragraph on the encompassing similarities of each, a paragraph on what they entail, a paragraph on political theorists complaints on the theories, and then a paragraph on how these theories could be tested. So this passage has 1 paragraph that mentions that some new theories are being made, but continues in the next four to discuss the reasoning and shortcomings of the social psychological theories.

Remember, for main point questions, the two questions to ask yourself are 1. is it factually accurate.

2. does it have the correct emphasis.

Here, we don't really have enough information to give C #1 with certainty, and we cannot give it #2, because it is mentioned but not discussed, supported, or explored.
