Some help please

Hi, as a quick caveat, I'd like to say that I really enjoy the Bibles and the Podcasts. Keep up the good work!

My LSAT journey has come a long way so far in the past two months. I've gotten pretty good at LG, somewhat better at RC, and only moderately better at LR.

I can't seem to get more than 18-20 correct per section of LR. This is from a diagnostic of around 14/15 correct. All of the questions I miss are near the end of the section, and I'm not missing any particular question type in general. (I don't really understand Parallel that well but still somehow always get it correct in the first 15, sometimes even later).

What can I do to increase these scores to the -1/-0 range?

Hi yessiree,

Thanks for the post, and for the compliments on the Bibles/Podcast! We appreciate hearing that.

We recently received a similar question from a student who was missing the later LR Questions. Our instructor's response to this student should help you as well: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=35141.

In addition, the following posts should help you as well:

There's a lot of information here, so this should be enough to get you started! If you're looking for more specific advice, please provide some more information using the suggestions in this blog post: https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/need-l ... -help-you/. Some additional helpful information will be helpful, such as: what exactly you have done for prep thus far (anything beyond the Bibles/Podcasts?); any weaknesses you feel you have; how many PTs you have taken and if you've thoroughly reviewed them; and are you struggling with timing (i.e. do you feel you spend more time in the earlier questions?).

Also, we did just launch a new LSAT Logical Reasoning Bible Course that you may find helpful!

Thanks!
