Yep, you're 100% allowed to use control/command f on the real test. This isn't listed on LSACs website, but over the years the question has been asked of them many times and they do always confirm that it is allowed. Example here: https://www.reddit…
I'm trying a new drawing program for LG stuff, here's an elimination for Q22 AC A. The shaded bit in the bottom corner is an elimination for the board with [I: V-Y-W-V] specifically too.

For this question the first thing that leaps out to me is that the gap between the premises and conclusion is particularly wide. The premises tell us that the British government does not fulfill civilian researcher requests for information about UFO…
In general- the usual question stem for MSS questions, "most strongly support," makes it sound like sometimes you'll have two answer choices that are supported by the stimulus and you have to choose which one is more supported, or even that sometime…
This is a pretty weird question. You're correct that only one of Popkin's flights has a Saturday in between. AC A feels weak as an explanation for her overall travel plans because it would only cause her to save money on that single round trip, and …
This is a very real concern when preparing for the LSAT. These materials are finite, and 93 tests isn't that many. Some tips:
1) On 7Sage, the examples and practice problems you'll encounter going through the syllabus lessons are all pulled from th…
For me this hinges on the phrase "...of many people whose heart disease was not attributable to other causes," which describes people with elevated lipoprotein(a).
Since elevated cholesterol has been established as a (sometimes) correlate of develo…
There isn't an official way to take a practice test with proctoring from Proctor U.
There is kind of a mock proctored test coming up (two section research study), but unfortunately it will be happening in December.
You can find a lot more informat…
Very interesting news. It looks like LSAC is also offering a free service to people who participate in the study:
Additionally, participants will be able to choose one from a list of incentives offered by LSAC. These include:

I'm interested. I'm in the -0/-1 space for LR, and it's definitely achievable. -0/-1/-2 even more so.
I'm in the EST time zone and signing off for tonight, but message me and we can discuss further tomorrow!
We actually can support the inference that damaged mail makes up only a small subset of correctly addressed mail!
Correctly addressed (CA) mail can fall into two categories: damaged in transit and not damaged. Damaged mail takes longer, and non-dam…
I write down question numbers I want to return to. Each number gets a squiggly, put in a box, or put in a circle depending on how confident I am in my answer, so if there isn't very much time left at the end I can focus on them in the right order.

One tip to keep in mind is that you should always be trying to get through LG really fast. Even if you are doing an untimed practice set, you need to be rushing. Otherwise, you risk practicing strategies that work in untimed conditions (always get t…
You're very likely to do much better in October!
165 is clearly outside of your usual score range. Something went wrong; maybe you bombed the RC. That probably won't happen again.
Your recent practice test scores are very good, and expecting 170+ …
It's true that the LSAT is changing the format of the LG section sometime in the future, but February 2023 is almost certainly going to occur beforehand. Most articles now vaguely point to 'sometime in 2023 or maybe 2024.'
For early 2023, I wouldn'…
A family friendly newspaper has suddenly changed their business plan dramatically, becoming extremely non-family friendly. Afterwards, some of the companies purchasing ad space in that paper cancelled their advertising contract. The author concludes…
I thought that if the premises are true then a valid conclusion is necessarily true and never false. Is that the case?
True Premise1: A --> B
True Premise2: A --> -B
True Premise3: A
Valid/True Inference: A --> B and -B
…
Technically yes, that's valid.
It's impossible for it to be true that 'B and B.' So if you know that A --> B and B, then you can actually be certain that A.
There's a relevant logic game, PT34 S4 G4. It's the only time I've ever seen this infer…
@Frenchy said:
I feel like double stacking your most feared section consistently should be a priority for practice tests, but that just sounds so awful
I've been doing this and it does feel very effective. My endurance for RC is much better …
I don't think so. The only rule I'm inferring from these premises is A -m-> C, so the only 'must be false' information we have would be limited to mundane/direct contradictions of either that or one of the premises.
It isn't necessarily false- it's just an unknown that could be true, could be false.
In conversation you would probably never saw 'most' when you mean 'all.' But technically, something that is true of 'all' of something is also true of 'most' of th…
These are the hardest categories in LR for me, and people in study groups seem to frequently say the same thing.
I never find myself diagramming other types of LR questions, but for the parallel question types I will almost always write out the law…
Nearly all of the questions without explanations are from the oldest tests, PT1-PT16. I think these older tests are least used for practice (the core curriculum goes all the way up to PT35), so might've just been deemed not a high enough priority to…
The answer is yes. If you do not have additional context like 'but not both' then you can always safely interpret 'or' as being the 'inclusive or.'
There's a 7sage lesson on this topic here. It goes into depth on why this question is such a valid t…
It is not exactly the same but you don't need to worry about being taken by surprise- you can try out the exact online context as the real test officially. I believe at least one of the preptests is free there, so everybody can see what things will …
oychoi79's post is excellent advice and the bit in bold is so important that I'm going to repeat it: PICK IT AND MOVE ON
I am constantly tempted every game to reassure myself that I'm not missing anything by making sure that the ACs after the one I…
The LSAC hub page for accommodation is here and definitely worth reading through if you're considering accommodations, but the page you're most interested in is probably this one.
If you've received accommodations in the past on a big standardized …
I recommend the "10 Actual" series. They are an actual LSAC product and each book contains 10 full tests and nothing else.
You can see them all on Amazon here.
LSAC also sells books that are just one single test, but it's way more cost effective t…
For this one we want to support the conclusion "Therefore, it is advisable for businesses to implement [minor variations into its operating system software]."
Whatever AC we pick is going to either make introducing the variations sound like a good …
