I think trial and error was a poor choice of words, what I meant was even if you dont get the inferences initially in that particular game, try laying out several game boards
I dont believe in "absolutes" but personally I tend to read the rules ~2-3 times.
First I read through and diagram rules as I read. Occasionally if I'm a little shaky or pressed for time this exposes me to the risk of skipping over a rule (ie eyes…
I had a little trouble at first with the sequencing games with a twist. Generally I would try the game fresh before watching JY's explanation (untimed at the beginning), then watch JY's video and compare methods. I think it's worth "struggling" on y…
I agree that the writers had fun with this, not only with a colorful cast of characters, but also by:
-Using an implicit premise (Does not exist->belief is false) TWICE! Once in the stimulus and once in the correct answer
-Adding a killer trap a…
I think it is usually preferable to take a fresh test to one you have already taken. When you retake a test, you often have already (at times subconsciously) memorized some answer choices. Instead of running through logic to solve the questions, you…

When you have conditional reasoning in the stimulus and a Weaken question, immediately look for an answer that attacks the necessary condition (show that the necessary condition does not need to occur in order for the sufficient c…
I work full time. I have done usually between 1 and 2 PTs per week. What I found was that I needed more than 1 day to actually take a PT, BR and review. The schedule I work with now is 1 PT on Friday evening (usually able to cut out of work at a rea…
...at least one of L or O in, and possible both L and O.You cannot have both L and O out.
Classic either/or rule (or group 3 indicator) rule.
If you see this in an in/out logic game, you would write L/O in the "In" section. If you see this in LR…
in my experience I have had a lot of fluctuation in scores on fresh tests. the difference in one question per section can easily throw your score out of your normal range, especially if you are like me (and many others) who consistently skip/guess o…
The struggle is real.
At the beginning, I thought I could do work + social life + LSAT. Now I am starting to get a more realistic rhythm going, but it definitely involves less social life.
I'm going to be focusing on being healthy, meditating, not getting zombie brain, and staying calm. I've done a ton of prep thus far and don't want to psych myself out.
For me, things like stress and distractions have caused significant fluctuations in my score, but never +10 points. Is there a possibility you are falling into a "repeated material" trap? if not, probably just take a few days off and get back into i…
@amanda_kw What I was thinkin was that if the question was a sufficient assumption question I think that C could probably work as the answer (aside from the subject shift pointed out), but we don't need a sufficient condition, we just need a necessa…
Guys, very interesting post from JY on section 2, Question 20, PT 56. I dont think we discussed this during our BR last night, but 20 is actually a necessary assumption question, which very clearly knocks out response C. Partially wanted to out this…

Took LSAT once but student cancel
Have taken now over 30 tests, but struggling with consistency and worried that some PT scores might be inflated due to testing repeated material (I used to do Powerscore)
