Hello all, I'm having trouble with the word usually in LR questions. Can anyone point me to the section that covers this term, if any?

Thanks

I am retaking the LSAT and signed up for 7sage. Previously I studied with Powerscore bibles...do you recommend going through the entire course and kind of fast forwarding sections I feel comfortable with or just skipping around and focusing on weak areas (definitely logic games)? Also should the syllabus be done in oder or is it ok to skip around?

Thanks!

Is A always permits B

A->B?

or B-> A?

Thanks for any help with this.

Any advice on what era to focus in on? I feel like they're running out of undisclosed sections from the more recent testing dates, but I could definitely be wrong ¯_(ツ)_/¯

April LSAT is right around the corner and I am looking for a study buddy/accountability partner!!

I took the November LSAT and I am currently on several waitlists for school so I need a quick LSAT score increase. My PT last week was a 164 but I'm looking to get 166+ by April. If anyone is interested in meeting once/twice a week over zoom to talk through sections and keep each other accountable I would be super interested to work together :)

All I can say is I am very shocked. I applied to all my schools back in September, right when apps opened. I pretty much got into the schools I thought and was waitlisted at the reaches and rejected at a super reach. Except one school that I had as a safety. The 7Sage predictor had me at a 99% chance for admittance. I was first offered a waitlist spot just a week after I originally applied- which I found strange. My GPA was over .5 higher than their 75th percentile and my LSAT was at the 50th. I hadn't heard back from them so I emailed last week and sent them updated grades. I told them I was already accepted into several schools and that I was very interested still. I was really hoping for a big scholarship offer. Disclaimer: I have already decided where I'm going with a deposit but always want to keep opportunities opened. They emailed back and said they would review my application if I wanted. Ummm duh I want you to review it, why do I have to email to have that done? At this point I was pretty pissed off and decided it wouldn't work anyways. They told me I would have a decision in 2-3 days. 8 days later, I get an email that a final decision was rendered...I got rejected. I almost laughed out loud. Out of every school I applied to, this was pretty much my lowest safety. I am in no way mad, because in reality I was not going to go there unless they were giving me a full ride and a Tesla. Does anyone else find this scenario strange? Not just the decision rendered but the way admissions handled everything? I've checked Law School Data and based on the admitted students on there, I would have the highest GPA and top 8 LSAT. There is nothing weird or red flags on my application. Could they just be yield protecting since they knew I got into much better schools? Any insight would be nice.

I remember having to read the test rules before beginning my LSAT-Flex. I want to do this each time before I begin my preptest. Does anyone have the link for this? Thank you!

How might I further increase my RC accuracy?

Hello all,

After browsing through these discussions boards for hours on end, my LSAT journey has finally come to an end. I have seen so many helpful tips from all of you and so I wanted to give back and leave some of my own.

Background: I started studying for the LSAT in December of 2020 in preparation for the January 2021 exam. I figured that the LSAT couldn't be that hard. I was wrong. In my first month of studying I used bits of the Princeton Review Book, LSAC Prep Tests, and YouTube videos. It didn't work out as well as I would have liked. I felt unprepared for the real test and I ended up receiving a score of 152. I had signed up for the February 2021 exam as a back up plan, and so I had one month to figure things out. I decided to undertake a completely different strategy during the span of this month, which is the one I will late out here. Please note that although this may have worked for me, everyone is different and has their own goals so please pick and choose what may help you!

BIG TIP: You need time. I was an idiot for thinking that I could study effectively in the span of a month for both of these tests. Fortunately, it ended up working out for me but I think that it is best to allocate at least 3 months of serious studying for this beast of a test. Of course, if you don't have the luxury of time it's still possible, just harder.

Study Materials: I personally used the 7Sage Curriculum, LSAT Trainer, and LSAC Prep Tests. In my month of studying to increase my score I spent three weeks going through the 7Sage Core Curriculum, which is an absolute must to get a great theoretical backing behind the questions that will be asked. In week four I spent time working through the LSAT Trainer's discussions on LR and RC. In week five I did as many PTs as I could.

Logic Games: I sucked at logic games. In my first PT I missed about 15 questions, but by the end of studying it became my favorite section and I would only miss about 2-3 questions. To master logic games I followed the 7Sage Full Proof Method. The way that 7Sage organizes and explains the games is unbelievable. Do the games again and again, because frankly THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "UNIQUE" GAME. Ya ya there are some weird ones, but for the most part it's the same reiteration of a type of game. The more you do, the more comfortable you'll get. 7Sage was the only source I used to improve my logic games, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Logical Reasoning: Buy the LSAT Trainer. Seriously. The way the Trainer simplifies this section is fantastic. If you follow the Trainer's Flaw-based model I truly think that you will begin to feel much more comfortable with this section.

Reading Comp: I hate reading comp. It's boring, it's long, it sucks. In my opinion, there is no true way to master it other than read and read and read and read. Develop your own strategies of highlighting, not highlighting, or whatever you feel comfortable with. As you begin to see more and more passages you will begin to see that, although the topics change drastically, the structure of the passages remains pretty constant. The other big thing with reading comp. is mindset. Try to be interested in whatever they are talking about, it makes it much easier.

Final Thoughts: According to 7Sage I put in around 100 hours studying from the January test until the February test. Hard work pays off. But remember, one test does not define who you are or how "smart" you are. Don't let this test own you. Laugh in its face and continue to believe in yourself! You got this.

Does anybody have any tips on executing this skill or is able to point me in the right direction? Thanks.

How is E right if in G's assertion's says that an equal number of photographers, sculptors and painters submitted work that met the traditional criteria for the show?

Hey guys!!

So when I take LR sections timed I get around a 10/26. But when I complete it BR with no constraints I am able to score like a 20. Does anyone know how to improve timed???

What tips do you have for identifying In/Out games? I think select is a good indicator word, are there any others anyone else has noticed and picked up on?

Anyone use Elemental Prep tutoring for Logic Games?

Looking to hear people's experiences/feedback/etc.

Can you use scratch paper for LR on the LSAT Flex, or is it only acceptable during LG? Is there a specified amount you can have on test day?

I'd be interested to hear what people received on the Feb LSAT FLEX compared to practice tests. My last 2 practice tests were 164/165. I just got my actual test score and it was 157. I guess some of that could be nerves, but it is significantly lower than I anticipated. I signed up for score preview and I had already decided to wait to apply next year, so I have time to retest. Still, I'm (not pleasantly) surprised. Will we get to see how we performed section by section, or just the final score?

Im really curious as to know which logic games cause the most difficulty for other people?

I think in/out games, and sequencing-conditional games are the hardest for me. They are hard are take the longest, and when the target time is achieved.

Hi everyone,

I'd like to offer free LR tutoring (a few hours a week) to reinforce and share the strategies I've learned from @RuralCactus who has been tutoring me for the past few months. I've been able to improve my average LR score from a -8 to a -4. I'd love to work with someone who is in the low-mid 160s, scoring -6 to -8 in LR sections. I feel I will be able to help these people the most as I recently broke out of that plateau and I'm looking to hone in on executing my strategies to consistently score -2 or above. I'm based in Pacific Time Zone but I can be flexible. Please PM me if you are interested. Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone had advice on how to overcome the low 160's plateau. I have been consistently scoring 160-163 on my past tests. I am on a schedule of taking 2 preptests a week and have not been seeing improvement. I began focusing on taking problem sets on the specific areas of LR that I was having issues with (Flaw, Weakening) and though I do see myself getting less of those questions wrong, now I am getting an entirely new set of questions wrong (MCC, Strengthening)

Usually my LR and RC will average 4-6 wrong on each test and my LG is around 3-5. I purchased loophole and am in the process of going through it but I am feeling a bit hopeless as I am aiming to take the April test with a goal score of 167-169. I am thinking of completely stopping preptesting and focusing on my foundational skills, but I just don't know the best way to go about this.

Does any one have any tips to help me improve my score on strengthening questions in LR? I don't know why I can't seem to get it.

I'm sure this has been covered before so I apologize in advance for the redundancy...but I'm having serious second thoughts about writing April 2021 and was hoping to get some good advice:

I've been studying curriculum for about 4mo, and within the last month and a half moved to practice exams. I can grasp the concepts in theory but when it comes to practice I miss the execution. As a result my scores are wildly all over the place, ranging from 162 to my raw score of 147. I'm a bit dejected by the trend in my scores and the general anxiety I'm feeling ahead of April isn't helping my confidence much more.

I'm at a point where I'm weighing the cost/benefits of the uncertainty going into April vs. delaying the inevitable in hope of a consistent score. I'm planning on applying next cycle for what its worth.

Would appreciate any perspective on this, thanks! -A

So I received a clearly mass generated email about being on the WL at Washington last week. My name was missing from the salutation in the form, which was a blank space. It said that they would follow up about instructions shortly since I'm being placed on the wait list. However, that was last Friday. Should I follow up at this point?

One thought I have is that it's because I used their website application instead of the LSAC one. I know that the general procedure for them is that once they've decided they want you those who submitted a web based application have to then submit through LSAC but that they give waivers to cover the CAS fee. Perhaps they're waiting to issue those waivers? I obviously don't want to bother them if it's normal. Anyone else been in this position with Washington?

hey everyone! Where did you guys starting taking PTs from after the CC? Some start from the 50s, some later on! Ive been using 1-40 as drills but am wondering which PT I should take as my first. Any advice is appreciated!

Can someone explain to me what the priority category on the question analytics are? Ie high vs low
