Redo core curriculum slowly until you are doing better. When doing timed practice on each question type, skip the ones that at first glance are a dog. Come back to these questions at end, your brain may do better on second read and fresh start.

I have done this countless times. The only solution that has worked for me: treat it like a video game. Trust yourself. If you’re wrong, you’re wrong and need things to work on. If you’re right, great, but make sure you know why you were right. If …

Also, try to identify which question types you are consistently good at, there may be some. Then use those analytics to get even faster at them while you are also practicing your weaker questions

Redo the core curriculum slowly. It might not be the information you want to here but that is what I think gets those fundamentals down.

I think MSS questions are one of the LR questions that requires a little more time to understand the stimulus. So, I would make sure you are spending quality time upfront on the stimulus. Obviously this is easier said than done. For example, once I…

Honestly, what has made LR click for me is just practicing assumptions. I would focus on the assumption part of the curriculum, i.e. Weaken & Strengthen sections. This has improved my logical thinking about arguments, which I think is needed fo…

I took the September 2019 LSAT. I was PTing around 160-162 right before. On the actual exam I scored in the low 150s. I was just off that day on one of the harder logic games and it threw off my whole routine and I think it affected my entire exam. …

I think the most underrated way to study is to study extremely slow in the beginning. What I mean by this is taking apart every single portion of a LR question when learning a certain question type. Timed practice is overrated as well. If you can't…

Congrats!

Go back through CC and analyze every question slowly. Timed practice is stressed for LSAT practice but -10 or below on LR seems to be a lack of understanding. Go slow then go fast.

Coming from my own experience with depression, quitting LSAT and after coming back, ask yourself if this is for you. If it is, treat it as a hobby. It is just a test, not your life.

Hi @SCLawbae , contrary to comments above, I generally start with LR. Doing a couple questions or timed section from 1-35 PTs gets the logical thought process in my brain moving. Then I move to LG later in the day as I find it is more formulaic and …

Hi @ariincharge , what is your question attack strategy for the sections you are going over time on? Do you skip questions that you can't answer within a minute? Are you spending too much time on certain types of questions? Are you spending too much…

Hi @Lolo1996 , my strategy per section follows: LR: Try to read questions and answer them in under 1min. If I can't answer them within 1min, on first go, I skip then come back after I have answered all the questions I can in this light. Once I have…

Hi @rebelwithoutaclause , I am fool proofing LGs right now. I have noticed that I skip around on first attempts for most games. I do this because after I have the setup down and answer the acceptable situation question, if there is one, I will scan …

Thank you 7sage!!

Hi @"Positively LSAT Street" , I am foolproofing LGs right now and have been for the last month or so. It is so fun and you will see major improvements! Keep your head up and just keep drilling, BRing, watching video explanations, and re-drilling. I…

Hi @tina_gk, I noticed this as well. LGs from 1-35 seem to have different layers in the games and language to convey a certain aspect of the game boards, which make it odd sometimes to setup a game properly. They are pretty much the same type of gam…

Congrats @Gunningfor121 , that increase is insane! Beck of luck with applications. This is very inspiring.
-
Congrats @"Lucas Carter" , your comments have helped me a lot on some problems from various PTs and in the CC. Best of luck with applications! I hope to receive a 169 as well---currently in the low 160s.

Congrats @"Habeas Porpoise", I have seen a lot of your comments and you have been very helpful. Thank you for all you have given to this community and congrats on the 174. That is a massive increase! Best of luck with applications.

@2ndTimestheCharm said: Yes. But specifically doubt/verification that the specific premises stated in the stimulus support that exact conclusion. It's the support we're attacking or boosting. Like the adorable anime character J.Y. describes in…

@ata9144, I had the same diagnostic. This is very inspiring as I am trying to get into the upper 160s/low 170s now. Congrats!

Hello @slayeroflsats , I would argue that the LG CC is worth the time for anyone, no matter their skill level and degree of exposure in LG. There is always something more to learn, especially in LG. JY meticulously goes through the different types o…

Hi @"Layth Hert", studying full-time about 5-6 hours a day 5 days per week I think would suffice. I am doing that now and I have seen great returns. I would recommend doing 5 days and not 6 because of exposure to potential burnout if you are studyin…

To answer your question @"ridglea.k.willard", what helped me cement logical reasoning inside each question is typing out explanations of each question. When I say explanations, I don't just mean what is wrong, what is right and why for each, I am ta…
