Yeah. I winged it to be honest. Especially on the logic games section. I knew the basic format of the exam and I did some basic diagramming exercises, but the timing tripped me up. The third game was especially brutal so I had ~3 min to finish the final one.lymenheimer wrote:Miss 0 on LG if you can maintain the -0 on RC. That'll get you pretty close.
Yea it appears that there was a game that threw many people for a loop, but there are methods to solve those (lots of people went -0 too). As the easiest section to learn, it's really hard to justify/suggest that someone accept missing any on the LG. Other than that, work on your LR weaknesses too. If you can even cut down you LR incorrect responses by half, that would give you some wiggle room to mess up on the RC or LG.Splitter99 wrote:Yeah. I winged it to be honest.

I just took the Oct. 2015 LSAT and my scaled score was 164. I missed 0 questions on the RC section, 8 on the first LR section, 8 on the LG, and 5 on the second LR. Given my breakdown in incorrect answers, what ought I to do to reach my target score of 169-170? Thanks in advance!

can you share how you read the passage and time you take on the passage and on the questions for -0 in rc?kcho10 wrote:Splitter99 wrote:Hey!

PLEASE share with me how you got a perfect score on RC, and I will share with you how I got my LR down to -2 and LG down to -0 with 5-6 min to spare most of the time!! RC is killing me!
btw, I think if you got a 164 and are getting -0 on RC, it should be very easy to get into the 170 range for you. RC is arguably the hardest section to improve on. LR takes time to improve but it isn't that hard to. And LG was very easy and quick to improve...I went from missing 10-12 questions, most of which I skipped to -0 in about 2-3 weeks
Thanks for that. I essentially improvised throughout the exam. RC was easy for me, I think because I read an insane amount and have always been really language oriented. Specifically? I just read denser than usual books, on a variety of topics before the exam---- philosophy, economics, literary criticism. Then I winged the LG and LR (I had no real strategy, just kind of thought critically I guess?) Sorry if this was useless. But that's my take, I suppose.kcho10 wrote:Splitter99 wrote:Hey!
