Benjamin already answered this very well but I thought I would add my own understanding:
This is a resolve question. I like to try to get explicitly clear on what the tension really is in these questions. I have memorized the following framework …
I think you are super super close on this one. The sentence in question states:"...even where preferred foliage is abundant, okapis will leave much of it uneaten, choosing to move on and sample other leaves." The answer choice in question says "wh…
Great timing on LG has come for me with a deep understanding of the material. A deep understanding of the material has come for me with constant practice and refining of my approach. This has enabled me to be confident in my hunt for answer choice…
The relationships don't go backward once we have established they go forward. They can, but it is not a proper inference. I have included the following relationships that I believe hold up in really life in order to make this concept a bit more cl…
At bottom, this argument has several layers built upon a core assumption: that because most large banana farms are located in a specific type of area (evidently immune to a specific concern), therefore most banana crops in the world are immune to th…
Assuming all variables were controlled for during your PT: you didn't have a cold, you weren't unusually distracted etc, my recommendation would be to review the CC and review PT 42 thoroughly before continuing to more PTs. Consider this a learning…
I once watched a documentary that showed mathematical formulas that proved that the difference between a Tiger Woods drive in golf that went straight and carried for 300+ yards and a terrible drive that someone like me would hit is a literal hairsbr…
Your job at that point in my estimation is to minimize damage. As an aside, I think there are 3 general layers to catch a mistranslation of a rule early:
1.Quickly and efficiently reread rules from the bottom up, checking them against your visual …
I do not agree with the above assessment. This is an extremely complicated question that in my estimation, really does not lend itself to the mapping of conditional logic. If this approach works for you, then stick with it. The below engagement a…
For 27-1-23, I have included a visual element to aid in our collective understanding of the flaw. The black squares are the extreme insomniacs. 90% of them drink large amounts of coffee-represented below with the purple dots. As usual, with flaw …
I don't think the application of causal reason is that helpful for 25-4-23. 25-4-23 is conditional heavy, not causal. The problem with 25-4-23 is that are given A--->B--->C in the premises and the conclusion states C---->A. Answer choice…
The argument uses the word "afford" in a way in which the meaning shifts. This isn't easy to see and in my opinion, requires a real comfortability with idiomatic expressions. Essentially, to ask "can we afford to buy a new car?" is different from …
My recommendation would be to slowly steer away from the brute force and start to engage with the exam with a bit more finesse, fashioned through exposure to the deeper underpinnings of the exam. Brute force is a very useful skill to have, but shou…
-I need a more tailor made approach, I need to read and retain better, and I need to up my vocab as well lol. And my timing needs to definitely improve.
You are already in a great spot because you know what you need to improve to move forward. …
It seemed like the exam snowballed from the first section onward. Tough break. I hope you have a retake left and consider this a learning experience. Thank you for sharing.
@partyondudes blindfolded it takes me about 12-15 minutes to solve a 9-10 minute game. It has really helped my memory and my understanding of how the rules of a game undergird the game. Take for instance PT 49 game 2. Done blindfolded with someon…
I actually put a blindfold on and have my wife read me games she picks out of the stack. I find that it has helped me immeasurably by allowing me to truly visualize the game board as I am blind folded. It has also helped with memory and internaliz…
I must respectfully disagree with the idea that in and of themselves mastery of the hard games listed is sufficient for mastery of all games. I must root my disagreement in what I consider "mastery" of LG. I define Mastery of games as a -0/-1 on …
@jkatz1488 your first one is something used quite often and something really important to be attuned to. The slide between something in the premise vs. another thing in the conclusion is often so subtle that it is difficult to see.
74-3 is an in out game with sub categories (groups), isn't it? What caused me pause here when I did this game, wasn't the in and out with sub categories aspect, but rather the way in which the sub categories were divided up. The single/multicolored…
Practice tests can be excellent resources for timing/pacing strategies. I have reused innumerable practice tests. I would set the practicality of the score you receive on a retake of a specific PT aside, it will be invariably skewed by remembering…
If you can understand the concepts in a more intuitive sense and arrive at the correct answer without the use of conditional symbolization; fantastic. For me personally, the symbolization and writing out of something like 35-1-22 or 24-2-24 helps i…
I wouldn't say that causation "equals" correlation, because they are two separate and different concepts, instead I would rephrase that by saying that causation implies correlation. If you have a causal phenomena, it follows that there is a correla…
@"Alex Divine" @danielznelson is PT 80 actually the color of the so called "ugliest color in the world" Pantone 48C?

The general consensus amongst members of the LSAT community online is that takes on this exam are precious, and for that reason, one should not take the exam without being as fully prepared as one can be.
If there is any help you need moving forwar…
Just got the PT in the mail today. Took a peak at a single LR question. The iguanas floating on the debris across the pacific ocean (11,000 kilometers) is the single greatest argument I have ever read
