I want to address your concern over feeling as if you did not "earn" the right answer.
Definitely retain a few untouched, ideally recent, tests for full, timed, simulated test sessions for your actual test. But you can still utilize your previous t…
Good morning,
E doesn't have any effect on the argument because the premises concern the number of visits per representative, and not the number of visits per physician, and thereby does not address the flawed necessary assumption in the argument. …
Might be a while before the official video comes out but here are my notes for working out the game set efficiently. Let me know if this helps.
F G H I Q R S V
5/8 in, 3 out, conditional chains
G -> F -> S/V
H -> F
V -> Q and R

This question is challenging and potentially confusing in the setup since it introduces multiple ways of grouping the study subjects:
Treatment vs control group - treatment is effective
Blind treatment vs blind control - equal severity.
The setu…
If you think about the arguments abstract terms:
Stimulus: Most things of a category have a property. Thing has property, so probably in category.
(C) Most things of a category have a property. Thing of a category probably has that property. (does…
I’d suggest for weakening questions (as well as all LR argument questions), read actively with the intention and goal of inferring assumptions in the argument. To weaken, think of something that would make the assumption false. To strengthen, think …
If you believe you would get more out of your PTs if you slowed down, then you answered your own question. What would be the benefit of achieving what seems to be an arbitrary goal of completing more than half of all available PTs if you sacrifice s…
Some mistaken conclusions drawn from the announcements here.
Background: The LSAT analytical reasoning section in its current form was ruled to be an unreasonable barrier to legally blind test takers due to its reliance on visual diagramming. LSAC …
In short:
Almost certainly not screwed - almost certainly NYU doesn't average, at least arithmetically
Should not overthink and worry
Should focus on improving - that's the biggest factor under your control.
Ask for some time off if possible an…
Simulating at least some full PTs will be necessary to be comfortable and maximize performance on official test day. But it is not necessary to do PTs only in full simulation. Breaking a PT down into multiple sections can be justified and beneficial…
Recently revisited this so here is one strategy to answer your question: Even though it's a sequence, not fundamentally different to what you might do for an in/out grouping game.
7 spots, 4 items. Every week will be a visit (no blanks). Each desti…
Not common advice given on the forum, but try to go extremely slowly on a game set with intent to complete a game with the most complete upfront inferences.
For each question, identify the key inference that it is implied to be testing. Take unrest…
Good morning,
I found this setup best to use a chart, similar to the PT88.S1 flowers game. This is copied straight out of my games notebook so let me know if you have any questions.
GHJKLM - each 1+

2. K st

You should take all 4 sections. It is still important to develop mental endurance and be acclimated to the rhythm of the real test. And it could be detrimental to discard 25% of your practice materials as well.
The 4 section score can be easily con…

Hey good evening,
I also found this tricky to setup at first but there are definitely a couple key inferences that break the game open:
6 teachers K L M N O P
into 2 schools: j/s
3 languages F G R
Rule 1: no language repeats at same school

Good morning,
I found it useful to take a "must be true/could be false" approach to the problem and consider the specific wording and context of the answer choices to reveal why E is more supported than C.
When considering answer C, whether Sibley…
Hi,
I found this difficult and unusual at first but there is a series of key inferences in the first 3 spots between the first 4 rules that will determine the setup and unlock the game.

Might not be necessary to diagram to this extent during an actual test as choice A is luckily closely parallel to the stimulus and the other answer choices are wildly different but here is my take:
cannot distinguish thing cause effect -> thing …
I think having multiple study resources would not be detrimental to your efforts. In my experience, the 7sage curriculum has been significant in my own improvements and I find it to highly valuable. I have not tried Powerscore but I am sure it is a …
Hi Ken,
The works you listed are significant and worth reading. However, in terms of relevance to your goal of improving your LSAT RC skills, I would agree with the youtuber that reading articles in the Economist (as well as many other publications…
