I know I've posted a similar question previously, but I am still unbelievably stuck. When I started with LG, I went from knowing 0 to being able to consistently get 0/-1 after about a month. However, for the last month, or so, I have been doing LR almost consistently, and I am still getting scores constantly averaging -5 (best was -2, worst was -8). It seems I have made, quite literally, no progress; it is extraordinarily frustrating, especially when I went from knowing nothing in LG to acing it, and, because I have been studying about 5-7 hours a day, as well.
Not sure how to phrase this, but what is the best way to actually learn LR? I've read the books, done untold numbers of practice questions, etc. What, if anything, might I be missing? Sorry for the vague q.

Re: Logical Reasoning Stagnation of Progress
Let's start with a question:
1. Are you randomly missing questions, or are you missing specific question types?
If you are missing specific question types, you should isolate and drill those questions, or come back here and post with the specific question type you're struggling with. There are books that break down questions by type, but I do not know which. LSATWIZ and Blueprint have both posted info about those resources here before.
If you are randomly missing questions, you need to focus on the basics of logical reasoning: isolating the premises, isolating conclusions, and identifying assumptions. When you do practice questions, try identifying the answer without looking at the options.
Finally, try taking a break. No, seriously. Give yourself time to consolidate information. If you are taking the October exam, try taking a week or two off. Then get back to studying. Your grades will be lower when you restart, but you might find that it helps.

Logical Reasoning Stagnation of Progress
great program, however I am having problems with logical record only playing back one or two layers..
i.e. I am recording a set, and then when I go to play back my pre-recorded set in full screen, sometimes layers are missing..
Have searched the manual and these forums for hours now and cant find where I am going wrong..
any ideas??
