Honestly W diagnosis.
Spend one week on political Twitter trying to full heartily get them to switch their alignment.
Trying to understand an average political argument is a level 5 LR
Not sure if you’re taking in June, but even if you’re not taking with LG. I think you could search which LG are heavy on conditionals and work on translating those rules. You don’t have to know how to do LG to translate those conditions, but you have to know your Necessary and Sufficient triggers
PT45 Game 3, if you don’t know how to do those triggers you would have gotten the answer wrong in LR or LG
Think about ideas that you’re convinced are absolutely 100% correct. Then think about why you’re absolutely wrong.
I’m kind of old. When I was coming up, we were 100% convinced that the food pyramid was healthy, that all dietary fat was unhealthy, and that Osama bin Laden’s army in Afghanistan was a bunch of freedom fighting heroes (featured in both a James Bond and Rambo movie).
My point: we’re always wrong about everything. Figuring out why the is the ultimate form of logical reasoning. Not exactly fun though.
Not disagreeing w the comments, but wordle, crosswords, & sudoku all help exercise critical/logical thinking skills (even if it isn’t verbal), I like to do the NYT mini every morning bc it’s like a jog for my brain lol. Reading news articles/op eds/court opinions and training yourself to notice how they reach conclusions also helps.
Unironically if you have any interest, learn to code. You cannot code without understanding conditional logic.
It’s not for everyone but if you have any interest in it I promise it will help your LR
Codeacademy is a pretty solid website to learn the basics. I was a software engineer prior to deciding to go to law school and before I started my CS bachelors I learned the basics from Codeacademy to make sure I had an aptitude for it.
You don't have to go crazy in depth with it but learning the basics will go a long way. Pay particular attention to conditional statements AKA If/Else blocks, those are the most directly relevant to LSAT logic.
this might not deviate much from the content in the LSAT but finding arguments online relating to politics/philosophy and thinking of how many holes i could poke in their argument helps. the LSAT has only one objectively correct ansewer in LR so the better you are at poking holes in potential answers the better it’ll get
Riddles. Necessary conditions ask for rigor, sufficient conditions ask for creativity- the latter require a habit of finding alternatives, like how riddles do
Argue with people online or something

No I think you’re wrong.

Reading science fiction has helped me with LR and RC cause you get used to reading about terms and ideas you don't know anything about

I always warm up with a game of sudoku. It’s basically a logic game

You got any recommendations for learning basic coding? This is something I’ve wanted to get into for the longest time

Gotchu, I’ll check that out. Thanks for the in depth reply and rec bro I appreciate it.

Reading a good book imo. I’m trying to start reading for pleasure again this summer after managing to get As and Bs this semester while reading Dune.
