I am having a hard time understanding what the questions in the LR section is asking. But once I understand what the question is asking I can answer with no problem. I spend so much time going back to the CC to figure out what the question is asking so I wanted to see if anyone has flash cards about question type of a method to understanding what is being asked.
I am good with MBT, MP,WEAKENING STRENGTH, PARALLEL and MSS. Everything else I spend hours trying to figure out what test makers are asking.

@Christina-5 I found this on a different discussion: https://quizlet.com/142715075/lsat-lr-strategies-by-question-type-flash-cards/
These potential strategies might help when approaching different question types, I personally find it really helpful to review these when I forget. I also made a google doc outlining different methods for specific questions based off of how to approach "Question type" videos in the CC.
Hey @Christina-5 ,
There are some helpful lessons in the CC to check out:

Start by reading for arguments: conclusions, premises, how they interact. Also, you should know exactly what every question type wants from you. Sometimes, for example, it wants you to find an appropriate conclusion ('Must be True').
@goingfor99th that’s the problem I am having figuring out what the question wants from me .
@Christina-5 which QTs actually give you this trouble? SA, PSA, NA, Principle?
Have you finished the CC? I think you should drill these:
https://7sage.com/lesson/quiz-on-logical-reasoning-question-stems-mixed-1/
https://7sage.com/lesson/quiz-on-logical-reasoning-question-stems-mixed-2/
Or alternatively, you can take an old PT, just read the question stem, and write "SA" "NA" next to it. I have timed myself doing these drills to get better at identifying the stem. You should be able to identify the question in less than 3 seconds.
Doesn't 7sage have LR packets sorted by question type? That's where I'd start.
Do a bunch of questions of the same type and your brain will begin to subconsciously, and then consciously, recognize what the question type wants you to do.
You should flash card question stems so that you can identify the question type with ease, too.
