Over the next couple of months, I'll be hosting weekly sessions to focus on the LSAT's bag of tricks. These tricks are mostly nonlogical elements of the LSAT that often abstract the question in ways such that we frequently understand the logic and yet miss the question anyway. It's a big bag, but its contents are finite. Once you learn to recognize the tricks and what to do when you see them, you will improve your accuracy, improve your time, and improve your score.
This week: Abstract Concepts
Future tricks will include:
Referential Phrasing
The Switcheroo
Nonsense ACs
Supersets/Sets/Subsets
Comparative Language
SA Questions with no Gaps
Exploiting obvious pre-phrases
In order to preserve fresh tests, I will try to restrict the content to earlier tests as much as possible.

This is not an official post - just fyi from my experience...
The Sages need to be focused on their applications for the 2018 cycle and then hopefully taking a break from the LSAT grind and enjoying the holiday season.:)
Look for the workshops to return after the 1st of the year when the Sages continue to share their time and awesome knowledge giving back to all of us taking the LSAT for the 2019 cycle:)
@vrendonvasquez562 have you heard of any new sessions?
Josh,are you having another LR session? If so, when is it?
Thanks!
Hey Josh, were you still going to post a list of the qs that we went over in the workshops for us to be able to review and catch up on the workshops we missed out on....would be awesome if u would/could .....:)
@jhaldy10325 Are you going somewhere?

@greybrownblue488 Please come back, we normally don't use web cams & just look at Josh's screen showing LR Questions representing the concepts :)
Excuse me but what are you talking about?

Hi there! This seems very very helpful! Just wondering, some of us are working overseas (and prepping for the LSAT). Is there a way to conduct a session earlier in the day? or would you be able to post the video online?
Thanks in advance if this is possible!
Looking forward to it! Thanks Josh!
Updated with new topic for tonights workshop: Abstract Concepts!
This is pure gold; Thanks Josh for doing this for us. I've just watched your webinar on Post Curriculum and I'm ready to learn these tricks and call the LSAT writers on them when taking PTs and one day, the real LSAT.
Not recorded, but working on putting together something for those of you who can't make it!
I saw some previous comments asking, but wasn't sure if a clear answer was given or not - Is there a way to record / push back the lesson for us West Coast folks who might still be at work? Thank you in advance, either way! :)

Is it alright to attend even though I haven't finished the core curriculum yet?
For this series, absolutely!

If it involves LSAT questions, there's a 90% chance it will not be recorded.

Was this recorded? fingers crossed
I don’t think these sessions are recorded. @jhaldy10325 is using LSAT questions and licensing fees would cost a lot.....
Bummer :( I wonder if there's any way they can say ahead of time whether or not the call will be recorded.
