For background, I've taken the LSAT twice and scored low 160's both times (albeit my second score was significantly lower than my PT averages). For the last 10 PTs, my average score is 169, peaking at a 175. My average performances are -3.4, -2.3, and -5 in LR, LG, and RC respectively.

I know what I need to do to better my LR and LG scores and I've gotten -0 on these sections before. The issue is I have no idea how to approach RC. My best was a -2 and I don't think I can reach -0 with my current tactics. I've gone through all the curriculum and am stuck because I feel like the only way I can improve in RC is by reading faster and being more attentive. I always aim for the big picture and the low resolution summaries slow me down considerably.

If you have a strategy for RC, even if it is unique, I would love to hear it! This is especially true if you have a strategy/strategies for specific question types on RC since I would love a more focused approach.

Hi everyone! A few of us have planned dates to write PT'S together and then review as a group. We've selected to do Wednesdays, more specifically July 19th and July 26th. If successful we will plan more going forward.

We are open to planning more, or having additional silent study meets throughout the week.

Most of us are studying for the September writing date!

If you'd like to join our group, let me know! :)

I recently took the June Lsat, I consistently scored between 160-163 on the four or five consecutive practice exams I took prior to my test. I ended up getting a 156 on the actual exam. I dont know if this drop may have been due to nerves (I had technical issues the day of my exam and was not able to start for an hour after my shceduled time and this had me very anxious and stressed). I took all PTs under real testing and time conditions. I wish there were a way to review my official LSAT and see which questions I missed etc. I am already registered for the August exam, this time at a testing center, and I'm hoping for a 160+. Any tips on what to do this time around? Im scared to not study effectively and just waste my time, I feel like I've done every LSAT question there is. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

I am trying to aim at the low 160s and I seem to get a handful of 2/3 LR Questions wrong in my PTs. I am drilling the first 15 LR Qs (15 min for 15 Qs) and wondering if yall have tips of mastering these "easier" Questions compared to 4/5 Star LR ones.

Approximately 9:40 into the video, J.Y. says that a game piece that is the sufficient condition cannot be the item that goes twice because it would set up the necessary condition twice, which cannot occur in the context of the game.

I am confused why G or J can’t be in paired in the last group and cannot be the item that goes twice.

I recall in another lesson J.Y. saying in logic games where items can be used more than once, if an item is already triggered and satisfied, then that item can be used and isn’t constrained by it’s conditional relationship.

Does this sounds familiar to anyone or am I confused?

I got this one wrong, I chose E, but now I see that we don[t know the relation between English literature and French literature, what we know is the origins of the language, trap answer for misreading.

The correct answer is A, cause its the only thing we can deduce from the stimulus.

B We don’t know

C We don;t know

D We don’t know

This is a MSS

By reading the stimulus and knowing were looking for a MSS. I can deduce that because some of the funghi that grows on the forest floor provided by dead logs are beneficial to some of the trees, than answer choice A is correct.

B We don't know

C We don't know

D We don'tknow

E Here they talking about Dead and decaying trees, the stimulus is referirng to Dead logs, which is different

Hey there!

I'm looking for a study / accountability partner to study with, with a focus on reading comprehension, and also support one another with the other aspects of the LSAT, the application, and the stresses of the test.

I am averaging 161 and aiming for low 170s.

I live in Los Angeles (the valley) and would like to study or hold discussions over zoom mainly. I am open to in person as well. I'd really like to drill down on RC so ideally it would be with someone who also wants to master RC. Alternatively, I can pair with someone who is good at RC but needs help with LG. I am pretty good at LG and happy to help.

Shoot me a message if interested.
