what do you mean "meant blank"? does that mean you could not solve a single question? it sounds like you haven't memorized the technique for each section.
-
you should absolutely not shift. identifying conclusion the most important skill in LR, because pretty much every question is about the gap in the argument (except for must be true based on question basically), which you cannot do without identifyin…
-
didn't use that all and currently scoring around -2. imo way overcomplicated, unless your a freshman in college and want to build up really studying. I would limit yourself to questions you really can't figure out and look at the solutions, unless y…

got to study way more. lack of consistency probably means that you're not familiar with all the potential question types, which can differ somewhat from test to test, so if you know some of them and those are the ones that appear more often or less …

plateauing on 4 pt's isn't rally a plateau. if that's what you are doing for prep, can't expect to have much of a difference or any difference at all after 10 hours of work
-
Need more clarity on what you mean: I do you "not understand it" and "decently understand it" at the same time. But the logic on the lsat should be pretty cut and try: translate with arrows (clouds lead to rain is the same as A => , only valid in…
-
please post specifics on how you are studying because we cannot give feedback on how you can improve without knowing what you are doing
-
got to start taking more tests asap.
-
you got to chain/translate the argument into logic or look for a rephrase of something in the argument
-
unrealistic expectations. not gonna do well without a lot of studying.
-
no trick got to memorize all the techniques and answer types. but scope on LR can pretty much always get you a -6 imo
-
none of them likely. prep test 99 came out years ago. I would definitely stay away from any of the tests after 99. since they're not made by LSAC, don't know how accurate the scale really is. prep tests 1-20 or 21 are more difficult as they are made…
-
memorize all the techniques and retake a later test if you can, if not just use scope flaw as much as possible
-
very rare for a math question to appear in a logical reasoning section, but if you want to practice conditional logic then I would focus on parallel questions cause those are generally the only ones you need to translate, you can also read this book…
-
I would focus on learning the strategies for the question, and learning the wrong answer types. For example for a strengthen you have the general technique [expand gap most on net from both ends or if not that from the weaker end or if not from the …
-
yeah I wouldn't do that. I feel like that strategy is more for beginners who can't hold two passages in their head at once.
-
probably luck for a lot of those 4 and 5's.
-
I would do an absolute ton of practice at least 6 hours a day. you want to be super in form and peaking for that test.
-
nah you got to take a ton more. I've done 1 about 180 so far (took the first 100, just finished test 75. I would highly recommend not taking the tests that are rearranged to be modern as the scale can be very different. earlier tests are harder anyw…
-
what I do is take 5 tests in a row, then blind review once, then blind review again. that way you're getting the benefits of spaced repetition into your test, and it keeps you aware of the changes that can occur every few tests.
-
I would say probably not. I read The Loophole and found it extremely unhelpful. I read RC Dragon which was solid but there are a ton of spelling mistakes which is pretty frustrating for a 500 page book. If you're missing that many, seems like you're…
-
the way you are writing it means that two statements are equivalent. A "if and only if B" means that A implies B and B implies A, which is diagrammed A B, whose contrastive is not(A) if and only if not(B) or not(A) not(B), so A and B are both nece…
-
high 160s low 170s are pretty similar more like a good day versus a bad way. think you need to change your perspective on how you are scoring at the moment. if you view the high 160s as being nearly done with mastering the test, your going to leave …
-
it's impossible to assess what is going on without knowing what you're doing for studying, but if you are studying a lot and not seeing any improvement than obviously that method doesn't make any sense. I think a lot of people mistake "studying a lo…
-
there are over a hundred tests that's like twenty tests so not sure what you mean you have ran out. superprep is great. the older tests are harder anyways.
-
tests cluster in terms of similarities in the writing every 5 tests so look at the question types you are getting wrong and see if there is a pattern
-
question types aren't the weakness. it's the more foundational skills. don't just work on science passages, read a lot outside the tests. same thing with arguments. work on identifying the argument parts, not on question types.
-
I've never heard someone use this terminology but I assume you mean "weaken/strengthen/evaluate," even though this would be three different question types. The strategies for weaken and strengthen are the same in RC as in LR. To weaken an argument, …
-
Don't take a diagnostic pt imo one of the absolute worst pieces of LSAT prep advice. that would be like never playing a game of basketball and jumping into a game without knowing anything first. you're better off learning how to solve all the questi…
-
tests tends to cluster together in terms of slight differences in question types for about every 5 tests so sometimes practice tests get worse because of that. but it's not any specific type of prep that is going to raise those practice test scores,…
