Does anyone want to do a study group for hard LG questions?

I’m planning on writing the LSAT in August and have been recently struggling with lr. I previously was averaging -6 but on the pts in the 80’s and 90’s I have started to average -11.

Please let me know if you have any tips to recover from this downfall.

Just starting out here. Hoping to take the November LSAT. Studying about 4 hours 5 days a week.

Hello, I keep seeing people posting about making a group chat, but it goes nowhere. I’m taking my test in September and seriously looking for people to join a group chat where we can motivate help and encourage each other. Message me or comment usernames if interested.

Hello! I appear to hard time with sufficient and necessary which is leading to me applying them wrong in lawgic and getting the quiz questions backwards. Can someone please help in dumbing it down? I went back to review but somehow confused myself even more and might just be overthinking it now. I would appreciate any help.

I am kind of confused as to why the answer for this question is C and not B? I feel like a may be missing the basis of the argument because it seems that it is arguing for groups over individuals and not really having to do with founder v.s. non founder.

So I started my studying basically within the last week. I just took my first diagnostic LSAT and I am wondering if I should blind review it now, or if I should go back and kind of just retake it after I have studied/practiced more and blind review it then? I haven't looked at any of the answers and my thought process is that I (1) was not 100% certain on a single answer so I would need to review them all, and (2) even with all the time in the world I don't think I have the skill set yet to feel anywhere near 100% comfortable with my answers.

I don't understand the use of the word broadsides or the context of this questions at all. I was confused at what it was saying and what was being asked. Please help explain.

I've been noticing that I do worse on the second half of LR sections because I run out of time and the questions get harder. Is it a bad strategy to start with the second half of the test first? I just tried it and did better, but not sure if there's any downsides. I liked that at least when I'm running out of time, the easier questions are typically in the beginning..

I'm struggling in RC. It's my worst section, and I'm obviously trying to improve. I feel like going through the stories untimed doesn't exactly help me. I end up taking my time, finding the right answer, and say of course this was it. I feel like honing in on my reading speed is what will get me there. Does anyone have any advice on what worked for them to improve their RC section?

Thanks!

I am planning on writing the Aug LSAT and my pt score keeps dropping. I’m not burned out and I’m not sure what is happening.

My worst section is RC and it is getting worse rather than better with practice and I need some tips.

Please help!

I am a bit confused about the last sentence. Is except the same as the group "unless/without"?

Defer to journalists → Don't have direct experience

Have direct experience → Don't defer to journalists?

Thanks!

Anytime I try to do a copy and paste function (e.g. putting particular comments into my notes) nothing comes up. I can do it with an external doc, meaning I can paste what I copy from 7sage onto a TextEdit or word processing document, but not with the online notes. Any ideas?

Is it just me or is this question worded very complicated?

If you have a statement that says, "Not all A's are C's," then why can't negating that statement be "No A's are C's" in addition to "Some A's are not C's?"

Hi, I am still confused on how choice D doesn't weaken the argument? Choice A seems like a weak answer choice doesn't it?

Can someone please explain this question I got the original and blind review answer wrong, and I am just very confused on how you come to the conclusion of "E" being the correct answer choice.

I got the answer right, but why is it right

We're working on a new forum design, and I need your feedback.

Say that we removed posts about specific LSAT questions—e.g., "PTC.S3.Q23"— from the forum's main feed. We would direct the discussion of an LSAT question to that question's page.

Would the forum be better?

I'm currently in the middle of the course curriculum and have gotten a few (too many) questions wrongs on some of the drills and practice questions in the middle of the lessons. I've reattempted some LG drills consecutively because I wanted to drill in the inferences that I've failed to make before. Although I've noticed improvement in my time and accuracy with each new clean attempt, I'm worried that this is only because I have been working on the same game with only an hour break in between, and I'm getting the question right only because I've seen the question and correct answer before. In other words, I'm worried that my studying method is not the most optimal use of my time and resources because I think I've memorized the specific games and rules by rote memorization rather than learning how to make inferences faster for new games on tests.

While I mostly focused on the instance for LG, I was wondering if I should have a longer cool down period of revisiting the same drills for other practice sections and drills too. I'll try to revisit them again after a week or so, but I'm also worried that I just don't have a lot of time for the upcoming test in October ;-;

Any tips on getting faster at RC? I'm trying to read each passage in 4min and answer questions in 4 min, but I am finding that I still take too much time on answering the questions. Should I spend less time reading?

How can you tell the level of difficulty for the passages in the RC section? I know the passages have gotten more difficult recently and they are not necessarily in the order of easiest to hardest? Should we attack the passages with the most questions first? Or should we just go through in the order provided?

Hi, so I'm wondering whether one should practice taking the test on the LSAC's actual website and software before test day? I'm just wondering since it seems rational to think that one should at least be somewhat acclimated to the actual software that we'll be taking the test on. Obviously, this has drawbacks since I believe we get our results right away on the LSAC's testing software when taking PTs, but maybe we can take PTs in the 1-34? A response would be greatly appreciated!

In Answer Choice A, it states that the shortage of courtroom space was not experienced until 1990. This is not consistent with the passage (when Mayor Tyler claims that they experienced a shortage in 1982). How can this answer be correct if the facts are inconsistent with the passage.

I answered C for this question, when the answer was B, but I'd like further review on this answer.
