  • This is 100 percent possible, especially with your given time frame. The only problem I would be careful of is burnout.. 30ish hours of studying a week for almost 8 months is a long time to be studying that intensely, and like the above posts said, …
  • Were you feeling nervous on test day? This same thing happened to me the first time I took the LSAT for real, and it dropped my score a few points below my PT average. It is a good thing for LG to be the worst struggle of yours because it is the ea…
  • The above answer is very good for strategy, so I'll talk about a few unrelated things that could prove beneficial for you. For me personally, I struggled with the same thing until I read The Loophole by Ellen Cassidy and practiced the Basic Transla…
  • What is your section split? If you're making below -0 or -1 on LG, I would say focus on LG.
  • @Shambhabi said: Hi guys! What is the best way to approach RC? I tried the low resolution method which helped tremendously and I was able to raise my score from -12 to -3 to -5. However, I am aiming for 175 for October so I tried the Blueprint…
  • Stimulus: The shoe factory in Centerville is the towns largest firm and it employs more unskilled workers on a full time basis than all of the other businesses in town combined. Thus, if the shoe factory closes, more than 50% of Centerville resident…
  • 1-2 a week maximum. You need time to review your mistakes and mentally reset. More than this causes significant burnout and diminishing returns for the majority of people, and you are wasting valuable practice material that you can't reuse without k…
  • They are harder to use since you need to reread the entire passage to be able to answer questions, but if it is your weakest section, then I definitely recommend it. I have seen steady score increases from drilling and putting wrong answers in my RC…
  • Stimulus: Astronomer made a mathematical model to determine if extraterrestrial life exists. He assumes that life as we know it can can only exist on planets and that many stars are orbited by planets. Since there are 9 planets and one of them has l…
  • Stimulus: There are abandoned and vandalized houses on Carlton Street and they pose a threat to the neighborhood. Both groups at the meeting agree that tearing down the houses eliminated the threat. However, one group says that there was no need to …
  • Took me a little under 4 months. Not sure if it was related at all, but I have been solving logic puzzles like ones in the LG section for a long time now due to personal interest and I also had a background of basic conditional statements/relationsh…
  • Hi! Sequencing games are usually very set up driven and have a few key inferences that drastically limit the amount of boards possible, so it is definitely not a bad thing to spend extra time in setting your board up; the questions will fly by very …
  • Hi! I am a consistent -0 scorer on LG, and this is the method I used to improve from the -14 on my diagnostic: Do each game under timed conditions (normally a PT) BR and immediately watch video explanation. Foolproof games the next day and every s…
  • Agreed with above! They can really disagree about anything, and this is often times where they can trip you up with trap answer choices. They may only disagree on a small premise, but agree on the overall conclusion, and vice versa. In addition to t…
  • @"If Glory then Guts" said: @AlexgLSAT said: This AC is saying that the stimulus says that the necessary condition is not true, so the sufficient condition can not also be true... which would in practice look something like: …
  • In my opinion, diagramming is important to learn the foundations of logic, but what is more important is being able to naturally see logical relationships and be able to pick out correct answer choices without diagramming at all. This process takes …
  • I like your analysis! With AC choice C, however, you need to realize that the scientists are arguing that the relationship between mice and humans has over time diminished the ability of mice to survive in nature. C tells us information that the sci…
  • This AC is saying that the stimulus says that the necessary condition is not true, so the sufficient condition can not also be true... which would in practice look something like: A > B /B /A This is a simple contrapositive and indeed a val…
  • Interested! Scoring mid-high 160s on past 4 PTs!
  • This is very common for beginners with LG. It gets better overtime with the foolproofing method; my advice is to make a google excel sheet and track your games; your time, # of answers correct/incorrect. Speed will come with practice, you will get b…
