Are we supposed to spot a flaw/loophole when we encounter a parallel reasoning question? (Not flaw reasoning questions.)

When I go to open the explanation video for problem sets it does not load and is blank. I also cannot do a view of the question hitting the magnification glass, it just shows a blank white box.
I have the premium subscription but for some reason the "problem sets" tab under LSAT Questions is not showing. How can I fix this?
I found out today, by accident, that PT 26 S1 Game 2 and PT 81 S4 Game 2 are the exact same game. They have different settings (sending letters vs dance performances), but the letters used for the pieces and the rules are the exact same. I only found this out because I had randomly done PT 26 S1 game 2 as a warmup LG before taking PT 81 today. They did ask some different questions about the games in the two tests, though they share 2 question stems in common. Are there any other games people have noticed that are duplicates?
Hope someone else will find this oddity as interesting as I did.
I have noticed a pattern for a while where I often am down to two answer choices in LR and whenever this happens I typically choose the wrong answer choice (AC). Yesterday on Prep Test 82 I got 4 questions wrong in one LR section and 5 in the other. In the section with 5 wrong, every single question I got wrong I had narrowed it down to 2 ACs and had chosen the wrong answer. Either I am the world's worst guesser or I am falling into some trap I am unaware of.
These are also the only questions in the section where I had not crossed out all of the incorrect answers. I very rarely cross out the correct answer but I am not always able to see which one is correct. I had also flagged all of the questions I got wrong on the one section and most of them on the other LR section so I am aware of the questions I am struggling with as I'm taking the test.
If I could get my LR down to -1/2 I would be ecstatic because my LG was only -1 yesterday due to a dumb sorting mistake I made, otherwise it would have been perfect. RC is always hit or miss for me.
Does anyone have any advice for choosing the right answer when it's down to two choices? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'm averaging around -5 to -7 on Logical Reasoning and I really feel like I'm stuck score wise. I notice that some people swear by Translations and CLIR drills, can anyone give their thoughts on these two drills?
Would anyone know of in-person study groups around the Las Vegas area? Or is anyone interested in meeting up at a safe, quiet, place every so often for the upcoming LSAT?
Is there any harm to submitting an extra reference letter to schools if many of them only require 2? I have 2 LORs already, one of which is very strong, but the my 3rd referee is someone who I have also interracted with on a more personal level. My only worry is schools may not read all letters and will not review the letter that carries more weight to it.
Does anyone have helpful tips for Must be True questions?
Just started studying! I am looking for an accountability partner that can meet up in the greater Metro Vancouver area to keep each other accountable
Is the latest LSAT following the modern/flex version or the traditional four part version?
Calling all international students or students currently studying abroad!
I am a student from the United States studying abroad in Morocco and I've been frustrated because most study groups meet at times which would be impossible for me to participate in. So, I thought I would try to form my own group. We would probably only be able to meet a few times since I'll be taking the October LSAT on the 18th, however I still think it could be really beneficial. We could use Zoom and meet any time from 7-11pm GMT+1 time. Please let me know if you or anyone you know is interested!
Hello everyone. So for context, I’m not looking to go to a T14 so a 160 is pretty much what I need to get into my picks for law schools. Even a 161/162 would be amazing for me. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to crack this magic number. I usually score in the high 150s with few outliers but have never made it past 159 despite always scoring in the 160s upon BR and in the very high 160s nearing 170 as of more recently.
I’ll admit I don’t have LG down to -0. I’ll usually score around -5 or -8 due to timing but then get -0 on BR. LR and RC is where the gamble comes in. I’ll always either do like -6 or -7 on RC but then -10 on LR or I’ll go -6 on LR but -11 on RC. LG is about the same every single PT. The most frustrating part for me is my inconsistency on LR. Like I could do a drill on just weakening questions and do well but then on my most recent PT, 3 out of the 9 questions I got wrong were all weakening questions. It’s seriously frustrating knowing that had I gotten those 3 weakening questions correct my score would have gone from a 159 to a 162. 🥲
No matter what I do I can’t seem to crack that magical 160 (maybe not so magical for others lol). With only days left until my October LSAT, should I just fully focus on LG at this point to hopefully get it below -5?
I originally started out LR by just drilling here and there and not paying too much attention to it until recently. I have been reading books, watching the videos about logic, and drilling a lot but I seem to be getting nowhere. It almost feels as if I understood it more knowing less about it. All of the different question types and how to solve them are getting jumbled when I take timed sections now. It also seems as if I need an entirely different approach for every single different question type. I am in need of ANY help or pointers to guide me in the way of properly studying for LR. (For reference, my PT is usually -12 and BR is -8ish, but now that I am only doing LR, performance has dropped a bit). Thanks in advance
Unfortunately, I will be taking the October test at 3am. I'm currently studying throughout the day and then also throughout the night. I'm only going until 3am or 4am right now, but am planning on taking it later the closer I get to test date. But it's damn hard to be functional this late so I'm trying to see if anyone wants to form a group to do some studying together to help keep each other awake. Maybe we can do some sets and go over them together? I'm located in KST. Shoot me a DM or leave a comment if you're interested!
Hi everyone, I was approved for +50% time today and just wanted to ask about some strategies to best leverage this extra time.
I was already not horrible in terms of pacing, but I was missing questions bc I was misreading/ rushing questions etc.
My intital impression of the best way to leverage this extra time would be to literally blind review during the actual exam; finish the section in ~35 minutes and then go back and review the answers I’m not 100% confident with. This is also a godsend for diagraming during LG, though I haven’t started studying LG. Same with RC my impression is that I should use the time to read the passages more critically, etc.
If anyone has any additional general of section-specific advice, I’d greatly appreciate it!
I noticed there isn't a tag for "phenomenon hypothesis" type questions. Can someone clarify, are PH q's a subcategory of strengthen/weakening q's? Seems like they should have their own tag?
Hi everyone! I live in Vienna, Austria, and I would like to form an LSAT study group. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested!
Hi everyone, I am currently looking for a study buddy on zoom. I will be studying everyday till Oct 18 from 4.00 AM to 7.00 PM Beijing Time. If anyone’s interested please DM me and we can meet everyday same time and study silently together. I promise I will not distract my study buddy because I know how annoying it is to be distracted when studying. This two person group is only to held accountable and encourage each other.

Has anyone known/heard or became a practicing attorney through the completion of the Office Study / Apprenticeship program?
During drills I feel somewhat calm and collected but when im taking a PT and get to the games section, I start to panic and don't think as clearly and miss very obvious inferences and even setups that I know I can do. I believe its the nervousness making this happen and wondering anyone has tips or any help for this
is there any resource that is good for identifying premises and conclusions, Im new to my lsat journey and i keep getting tripped up with that
Would help to mimic real testing conditions
I average anywhere between -10 to -15 on RC which is by far my worst section. But I feel as if I understand the passage fairly well, even confident when finishing a timed section. Is this a misunderstanding in the questions and what they are asking? It is puzzling.
