I suck at LR and LG and Haven't Improved - Help!

tonypepperoni

I've read both PowerScore bibles and workbooks back-to-back, drilled tons, and done around 10 PT or so, yet consistently I'm scoring around -10 on each LR section and -8 or worse on each LG section.

What am I missing? Was there something that finally "cracked the code" for you? I also just started doing actual Blind Review as of my last PT and Blind Review'ing LG is kind of daunting. Am I supposed to start the game from scratch for those that I have questions I'm not sure about?

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated! We're all in this together.

I'm still struggling on LR but for LG are you catching all the inferences when diagramming? I noticed quite early on that under timed conditions I was rushing through my initial setup and thus missing inferences which were key to answering the questions efficiently. Definitely go through some of the core curriculum again and when blind reviewing check to see if your initial setup matches J.Y.'s/if you understand the reasoning behind the setup.

I read the The Loophole in LSAT Logical Reasoning: https://www.amazon.com/Loophole-LSAT-Logical-Reasoning/dp/1732749000/ref=asc_df_1732749000/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312734536225&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2098258884104721166&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9010869&hvtargid=pla-607309411674&psc=1

The question type analysis and drills in this book helped me to improve from between
-10 and - 8 to between -6 and -4 on my past 3 PTs.

Also use Analytics on here to find out what LR question types you are high priority for you then review book on these question types and drill 5 - 10 problem sets on here of only those question types (I just use the ones from the core curriculum).

Yes on on blind review for LG just take your time and start from scratch on each game and pretend like it's the first time you are looking at it. You will be surprised how much you pick up inference-wise by studying this way. It's a pain but will become second nature to you the more you do it.
