Advice for Pre-phrasing on LR

lsat_sus

Hello Everyone.

I had a question for those who either score -0 ~ -3 on LR naturally or who developed that ability over time.
Your responses would be greatly appreciated... for many of us who are in the depths of the 150s and below.

What advice would you give someone who struggles with pre-phrasing?
How have you improved your own pre-phrasing ability?

Note that some Qtypes lend themselves to pre-phrasing more than others. For instance, a weaken or RRE answer can come out of nowhere.

Focus on understanding the arguments you are presented with... what are your premises, conclusion, assumptions and flaws? Beyond prephrasing, in the sub 150 range, this alone should help immensely for all around performance.

In types like method or reasoning, argument part, flaw... you are just describing what you see. If you are presented with a premise set, what inferences can you draw?

Know your conditional logic and common flaws (to include how they are presented in LSAT language).

Try drilling QTypes without looking at the answers... try to come up with the SA or flaw as opposed to recognizing it when it is presented.

That's what I can come up with on the spot... anyone else?
