    Hello? I'm not sure if I'm using the right forum for this?

    So I would recommend going through the main point lecture again and really making sure you grasp the techniques that are laid out. Make sure to break down every argument you encounter into conclusion and premise. Remember that every conclusion, i.e. Main point, will not support any other sentence. Practice breaking down the argument with every argument you see on the LSAT and not just on Main Point questions. Hope that helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    So I keep working on it until I don't get any questions wrong?

    Are there any more examples after the main point questions?

    Go through the main point homework until you get them all right. Then attack the LR sections in the Prep Tests. Practice identifying the conclusions even when you are not faced with Main Point questions. Identify the conclusion and the premise in every argument you encounter. Soon it will become second nature to you.

    Wouldnt that be a waste of time to go over the same questions we know the answers to?

    Hi @Gabby_teixeira, Thanks for the question! It’s actually not a waste of time to go over the same questions you know the answers to. Obviously, if there’s new material that you need to go over, you should prioritize that. But it helps to look over old questions and see where you previous mistakes were earlier in the process. It’s helpful to get a bird’s eye view sometimes and see how you did in the aggregate, and this is something that’s best done when reviewing a large cluster of older questions. You can then also see if you’ve improved or not by doing those questions again—in some areas, you might have improved a lot more than you thought, and in other areas, you might have improved less than you thought, and thus should start working on beefing up those areas. Once again, it is better to work on new questions, but if you have spare time/run out of new material to work through, then it can be helpful to review problems that you’ve already done. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
