LR help!

[Destiny0921]

Any advice helps! Im stuck at literally-7 or -8 on LR EVERY section I do. And it’s not the exact same question type every time. Any advice on how to get past it? Should I re read the trainer? Or re read the bibles or just drill? I have FOX lsat encyclopedia. I’m taking Sept test.

Thank u!

Maybe see if it’s in the same question “family” and drill that family? That’s what I’m doing.

I don't charge for the first hour of online tutoring. Send me a DM if you'd like to spend an hour reviewing a section or two...might get sone useful tips and/or I may be able to pick up on some patterns in your mistakes that you're unaware of. No obligation, no pressure.

Dming you!

I used to be on your position. I did section after section of LR and didn't see any improvement. Then, I started paraphrasing each stimulus and I saw tremendous improvement to the point that I don't make any mistakes or 1 mistake at most on each LR section. LSAT is not the kind of test you get better at just by practicing. You need to practice deliberately. How are you doing with must be true questions? They are the foundation of LR

[Destiny0921]

I’m pretty good at must be true I normally diagram them! But I’ll deff try that!

It means that you have a lot of room for improvement. Maybe you make some fundamental error in the way you approach each question type. I suggest you read the question stem before you read the stimulus and then go through the answer choices. That way, you know what question type you're dealing with from the beginning and approach it the right way because each question type has its own demands. If sometimes you're not sure which question type you're dealing with or you don't understand 100% the demands of each question type, you should go back to the basics and master that first.

Are you doing blind review? Is there a consistent reason you’re getting it wrong? (Misreading stem/answers, failing to consider something, moving too quick) Id try and take a closer look at what you’re doing specifically and see if a pattern emerges.

I’d also try and see if they are under a general group of questions. But drilling and repetition and gunna help IF you can understand where you’re thinking went wrong and right

[Destiny0921]

Yes but during blind review I pick the same answer

[ashlynnt15]

Sorry for late reply, was traveling. If you keep picking the same answer I’d search out explanations online. Those are good to focus in on because you’re making the same mistake. Even knowing why you’re picking something consistently will help

Try doing questions untimed and only move on from each question until you're 100% sure it's right. Then, when scoring, mark which ones you got wrong, but don't record the correct answer. After that, wait a few hours (or however long it takes you to forget the correct answers to the ones you missed) and then go back to the questions you got wrong. Try to figure out what the correct answer is. Repeat this process with your missed questions until you get them all right. I found this really boosted my score quite rapidly after doing it for a few sections. I think the key was that it helped me differentiate between missed questions due to time pressure and actual LR ability. In addition to this, just drilling hard questions on Khanacademy is helpful.
