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.

Can this recorded pleassee. I will be at work at that time.
The Problem of Knowledge! Yay! This is great because I have no knowledge on anything about anything. I don't even know who I am or what I am doing.
Thanks for a great turnout tonight everyone, and hope to see you all again next week!
@leahbeuk911 , my final thoughts were just to not over apply the concept. You'll see plenty of examples of prescriptive language with other applications, so this is only meant as something to keep in mind when you see it, not as a strict rule or approach.
Josh,are you having another LR session? If so, when is it?
Thanks!
Updated with new topic for tonights workshop: Abstract Concepts!
I'll likely need to pull up questions for review, and things get tricky when recording copyrighted material. If I can figure out a way to do it so that I can get around that, I'll do it. Can't make any promises though:/
This is the exact type of workshop I love! All the nitty gritty tricks that the books don't necessarily touch on.
Yay!!
I literally just said

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:)
Will the next session be on a Monday or Wednesday?

A little confused -- is it on Wednesday, Nov 8 or Saturday, Nov 11?
Wednesday 8, thanks for pointing that out!
If it involves LSAT questions, there's a 90% chance it will not be recorded.
Great webinar! Thank you, Josh!
Really hoping for a recording if possible.
Really looking forward to Math! this Monday. For some reason numbers in LR questions are my Achilles' heel.
Once again its on!
West coaster here! Please have mercy on those of us working until 5PST lol

I think you an I and @6400 are the only west coasters on this forum haha! All of the times are always eastern! I also will be at work :(
Not the only ones, me too me too! And yeah, I'll be working. :( If it was 5pm PST I could make it work but anything before that is not gonna happen (unless I can manage to stealthily sign in w/o my co-workers asking what I'm doing hahah).
@jhaldy10325 , thanks again for your time tonight, definitely some great pointers on prescriptive language. It seems the audio cut out on my end the last five minutes of your presentation, could it be possible you tell me what your remaining thoughts were? Thanks in advance!

@vrendonvasquez562 have you heard of any new sessions?
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?
@twssmith644 said:
@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?
