I agree with above advice on the untimed approach. If your RC foundation is exceptionally weak like mine, untimed at the begining really is the only honest way to improve. Once you've built up a relatively steady RC foundation, that's where we can t…
-
I think it depends on the question types. Let's say a wrong AC for a MSS, the reason is wrong is bc it's irrelevant, (as lots of them are) meaning not being supported or even mentioned in the stimulus, then as far as "how" it's irrelevant I believe…
-
I agree @tringo335 this specific example is being discussed under the comment section below in Advanced Logic https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/quiz-complex-conditional-translations-3-w-answers/ J.Y. (and quite a few other 7sagers) gave an excellent…

@jkatz1488 I agree with your usage of "often" there, "often" is kinda similar to "many" it does just mean some, cuz the notion of "often" could be arbitrary according to the individual. I don't know if we could interpret "usually" and "generally" as…
-
@TheMikey I actually don't think your interpretation was incorrect. If I take the LSAT, then I'll score a 180, which cannot happen without studying hard. A -> B -> C perfect. I really think it just all depends on how we read it, and apparently…
-
I believe it's the latter: (A -> B ) -> C "Which" is referring to this whole conditional (A -> B ) in order to this to happen, we need C.
-
I personally interpret them as "most", generally and usually are in a way synonyms to most of the time, at least to me. I wouldn't interpret them as some though.
-
I completely understand your frustration as I was in the exact same situation before (might be even worse) When I got started, I couldn't finish the second passage, like literally. And the ones I've "finished" are half guess work. I'm still not even…
-
I'm really sorry to hear that @LSATcantwin and that's even worse cuz you can't just put the timer down and tell the proctor: "you know what, I'm just gonna do this passage untimed..."
-
And it's funny how some passages just hit me completely out of norm, maybe due to unfamiliarity of subject matter. Like lots of considered hard humanity and science passages, I'm still not great but for the most part I could handle them, but for som…
-
@"Alex Divine" gotcha, I think I just read too slow, especially on harder ones, and you are def a much better reader than me given your time slot and results. I think the difference between me and Josh is that when he spends 4 plus minutes to read, …
-
Okay I'm really horrible at RC (not being humble) so I'm not in anyway doubting all the above insightful advice, I just have one concern and would really appreciate it if anyone could shed some lights clarifying for me. It's just I remember when I s…
-
@Mellow_Z haha the term "desk" is def where threw me off cuz I was envisioning actual "desks" just in a weird shape maybe. But yeah, I def had those in my college but we just call them elbow resting chairs lol and if they are gonna do shit like that…
-
I live around Nashville! Murfreesboro to be exact and you would think Vandy would have better facilities, or maybe it's intentional, idk. And honestly I've never heard of those kinda desks (will Google it lol) but it doesn't sound good for sure. Now…
-
Let's say a simple argument structure goes like: bc of X, therefore Y. To make the premise less relevant to the conclusion would be saying things like: just bc X, not necessarily Y. Or even if X is true, the conclusion of Y could still be wrong. At…
-
Well, I spent $50 winning an auction on Ebay over a 180 watch a while back thinking I'll need it one day when I'm finally ready, and now it seems like it was a complete waste of money and I can't even sell it cuz who is gonna buy it when it's banned…
-
It's always a good habit to do so, though many of the MSS don't really conform to a regular argument structure, (i.e. there is no conclusion, a bunch of random facts, or correct AC is just a restatement of a line/fact/premise etc) so don't stress wh…
-
We can mechanically translate every sentence using the logical indicators (when there is one), we just can't do so purely based on the its "positions". Instead, try to see what the sentence is actually saying. In this case, the emphasis is on Tuesda…
-
@"Alex Divine" man that's such a safe answer but I have to say I totally agree! lol
-
@dcdcdcdcdc Thanks for the links! I was just about to do the same as I had the exact same question back in the day. The short answer is W ---> T. If you work, then has to be on Tuesday. T doesn't necessarily imply W. It could be a Tuesday and yo…
-
One of the difficulties could come from the repeating name of game pieces; instead of several unique ones we normally get (e.g F G H X Y X) The rule says things like: G2 ---> G1, P/Y3 ---> P2, etc. I know it triped me up the first time I did i…
-
While I agree there is an intersection between CBT and CBF, I don't think you'll ever need to worry about the distinction in terms of the correct ACs on the LSAT. If it's a CBT question, the 4 wrong ACs then MBF, (vice versa for CBF ones) or else we…
-
What a great list, welcome everyone!
-
I'll just put it this way; it's been a year since I started at the games. True, I've made tremendous progress, but to this day, I don't dare to claim any kind of mastery in LG or any section on the LSAT for that matter. I'm one of the slowest ppl yo…
-
As long as you keep returning to the games systematically, the system/amount of wait in between could be rather flexible depending your own situation and comfort level. At the beginning of fool proof tho, I would suggest do it the same day immediate…
-
Not necessarily every argument is wrong but what the question stem is asking of you. For assumption ones such as S, W, SA, NA or flaw etc, then yes, there is definitely something wrong with the argument, and our job is to expose the assumptions/flaw…
-
Your welcome, glad to be of assistance!
-
The difference between negation and contrapositive is that the former is to negate a logical idea while the latter is just a restatement of the same idea. The contrapositive is the exact same original statement in the contrapositive format. I belie…

Very well put @JustDoIt Ambiguity/generalization in ACs is the key signature of principle/PSA types, so really be mindful of that when prephasing.
