Hey there, I am going to do this game now. I will have a write-up in a bit for your questions. Haven't forgotten about this thread
-
Hey everyone, I have been at things with the LSAT for about 11 months and am all in with shooting for a December or February take. I'm getting married in 10 days so I haven't had any real time to study for the past 3-4 days. As soon as these busy …
-
I'm in a similar position as you. I have spent quite a bit of time really hammering down games and am not going to take the exam until December/February, I just wasn't ready for September's. There are in my experience 3 very useful reasons to occa…

I feel like people I know from the BR groups and messages went off to battle this morning. I eagerly await their return
-
I think what the lsat did here has several layers of trickiness to it. I will try to outline the way I see those layers and this problem below. The stimulus itself isn't that convoluted or complex. It isn't something that requires us to mentally k…

Are you referring to the ones with the most questions?

Using a chart for a grouping game is something that can assist when you have pieces that go into the groups that can repeat, meaning they aren't 1 and done pieces. Using a chart is an efficient way to keep track of things in a concise manner. It h…

This is a great one! Boxing's greatest upset in history! A 42-1 underdog named Buster Douglas fought a prime and unstoppable Mike Tyson a few days after his mother passed away.

For me, LG has required more work to nearly perfect than any other section I have worked on on this exam. A ton of work. I don't want to suggest anything less than that, LG has required more practice and more review to get to -0/-3 range than almo…

Hey, don't feel embarrassed. The LSAT is an extremely difficult exam. It is learnable, but difficult nonetheless. What keeps me on track is at bottom the financial motive a great score affords me. Working as a criminal defense lawyer is somethin…
-
@strasvery forgive me if you didn't want this, but it looks like the confusion you are describing is what I used to experience before I got a firm grasp on the foundations of LR. You are probably taking so much time per question because your founda…

I had a simliar experience with the kindle format. I actually couldn't get the exam to print either. Overall, the experience taught me to stay away from the kindle versions of the LSAT.
-
Note that the question stem doesn't say only both SY* So what about (B)? Whats going on with (B)? We are checkmated by the conditions if we try to place SY into just paleontologist. In a similar manner we would be checkmated by the conditions if…

This is a pretty tough game. Question 9 took me a bit and was initially quite confusing. My confusion emanated from the same point as yours. That's what I will try to address here. So the question is an EXCEPT question. Meaning we are looking fo…
-
Ahh, this is a tough question. First, as the LSAT teaches us, "anybody" is a universal term. Meaning 100% of the group of "bodies." Or "anyone." I don't think strictly speaking that anyone can get a 170 because of factors such as work commitment…
-
I think we can reasonably say that you had an off day my friend. Your reasoning ability probably didn't get worse, you just had an off day/weren't at your best. An analogy that I tell myself in these situations might useful. Do you by any chanc…

The LSAC waives the fees for test registration for people experiencing financial difficulties. Meaning if you qualify, you won't have to pay the $180 you referenced.
-
In order to assist you further, we should get clear on what it is you are asking. Are you asking for guidance in obtaining a fee waiver from the LSAC?
-
I don't have a comprehensive list by any means, but have focused a ton of time on achieving mastery over games on the LSAT. Off the top of my head, the games that I found to be outliers or difficult in the range you indicated were (in no particular…

44-4-7 is another example of a necessary and sufficient condition within a single answer choice. I've given this issue quite a bit of thought this week. My thoughts are that sometimes an argument on the LSAT is being fashioned with such disjointed…

If I had to make a list of the 4 hardest LG games for one section it would be: PT 36 Game 3 PT 27 Game 2 PT 68 Game 4 PT 77 Game 3 P.S. I was way too excited while compiling that list. Lol!
-
I really like this idea. Good work. I thought of a similar idea but only for the PT under 40. I hope PT 36 Game 3 is in the mix
-
I was 21-22 today and BR is close perfect. Closing that gap has been one of the most difficult things about this process.
-
I believe it stands for Other People's Argument. That is to say that sometimes in arguments the stimulus will say something like "Some people believe that sunscreen prevents sunburn, but they are wrong." "They are wrong" is the conclusion and "som…
-
So if you have a conditional in the stimulus and you know that the question is a flaw question know even before you read the conclusion: In what direction can this thing go that would make it a sufficient/necessary flaw? And if it takes that turn i…
-
I think we would do well to remember how a sufficient/necessary flaw presents itself. This can lend itself to recognizing the flaw in action. If I say that if it rains then the game is cancelled a sufficient/necessary flaw for this would be if it …

The circle game from PT 41 was very difficult!
-
Thank you for making this thread! 78-3-7 is basically everything we have been taught not to even suggest in a correct answer choice.
-
For games, drill drill drill. Also, have you joined the BR groups? They are worth the time and investment and with everyone on the call's input, I have garnered a deeper understanding of LR. I'm getting married in October and realized that with a…

I've seen this on RC and LG. It is my understanding that these are questions that have been thrown out due to being challenged by people who have taken the exam. The following is an excellent article on the matter. https://lsathacks.com/lsac-resp…
