It's our turn now!!!
Would the January test date make it to admissions for fall 2019 or would you have to wait another cycle?
@artalayis927 I’m planning on taking in March! I’ve only just started this past week, finishing up on Intro to logic. If I can catch up to your progress would love to take part in any study sessions!
Also - anyone studying in NYC?
@artalayis927 Yes I would be happy to discuss thoughts! Here is the link to the webinar, you may find it useful. https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/weaken-strengthen/
Yes, I'd be glad to discuss.

@artalayis927, I'm in the Weakening Unit too right now. It's taking me a long time. I'm midway through.
We should do a skype review and share thoughts on weakening questions may help us out to see it from alternative perspectives.

Hey! @artalayis927 For me, I always always try to prephase for just about every question type and its a skill in of itself that I continue to work on. With weakening questions, a lot of the answers will seem attractive based off our real-world knowledge or they sound like the address the argument. However when I prephase, I really hone in on that idea of the support structure that is operating between the premise and conclusion. If I can identify that logical leap or "the beam" as JY explained it, the answer choices are much easier to eliminate, and I just go into the ACs anticipating the correct one. There is a great webinar by Nicole Hopkins on the Webinar Videos tab that provides some really great strategies for weakening and strengthening. She discusses causation questions in depth as well. I find the webinars helpful to watch after going over a particular part of the CC that was really challenging.
I'm having a pretty tough time with NA questions right now, definitely seems like my Achilles heel of all the question types. Really going to devote this weekend to getting those down.
Thank you! Also if you can post that webinar if you can I'd love to watch it! I've been developing some familiarity with weakening questions as seen some improvement over the last weekend!
Good luck with NA question types!

Interested in knowing for you guys that have gone through the weakening questions in the CC how did you guys approach answering this question type. I'm finding it pretty difficult.
Hows going through the CC going for everyone?

How is everyone’s CC going? I thought I’d start by reading through some of the popular books....but I’m not really learning like I though I would. Going to try to purchase 7Sage on the 15th.
Ive gone theough the majority of PS books and found it to be helpful in some areas like RC but 7sage has way better methods and study methods. 7sage really helps test takers build required fundamental skills that will help you grasp all three sections of the test Also 7sage helps you pin point and identify your weaknesses then gives you the questions by category to help you drill and strengthen your weaknesses.
I was torn between purchasing and not purchasing the curriculum and decided to buy it and did nto regret it since june 15th good time to buy it your planning on buying in January.
Thank you!! I’m going to buy a program on the 15th. Even if it’s the starter just so I can get started and upgrade later when needed. I’m most excited about the CC since I really need the basics.

Hi! @gaflparalegal732 This CC was a game changer for me. I too, had tried to self study with recommended books, this was after I tried an in-person course at the University but neither really gave me the understanding required for this test. I came across 7sage, and after watching JY's videos I found myself fully understanding concepts that I could never grasp. That was it, I purchased the Ultimate package, and I plan on upgrading to Ultimate+ later. I am about 60% done with CC and although not confident on anything, I can honestly say I understand it all now! Also the supplemental quizzes and problem sets have been so valuable with reinforcing concepts. The CC in general is laid out in a very strategic way. Everything builds on one another, so in a way it holds you accountable to making sure you're ready to move on.
In short, make the purchase! You won't regret it. Are you planning on sitting in January?
I’m going to just do it. I know how important this is so I need to get on it. I’d like to test in January so I have time to take it again if need be. I’d rather only take it once though lol. Thank you for sharing your experience, I appreciate it!
Yes, I'm so glad I became a member and my only regret is probably that I didn't join sooner.

And also, 7Sage provides us with reminders when we're approaching the expiration so you have about two weeks after then to renew. :)
Yes, this is a good long-term investment and it's also more affordable than other prep programs. Once you pay a course fee, it's much cheaper to extend and you'll have several options for which amount you want to pay at that time.

Yes I did take official Dec 2017 test. Sorry typo on my part. I'm 30% through the CC. It's been a slow start with working full-time and two kids. Hoping to get back in the groove of studying.
Yea I get it well I hear alot of people retake and do alot better their second time around. Good luck will keep you informed about any study sessions we have!

@artalayis927 I think late June would be a great time for us to start this BR group! The more I think about it, I'm like that's really only 6 months away! Lol Jan -June literally flew by so we def should start in June.
yea we should do Study session to go over some of the different LR types that would definitely be beneficial for me!

Yes. I've been on a slow path from work and being a nontraditional. I'm so glad you started this conversation. I'm 32% through the CC right now. It would be great if we also talked about pre-PT studying as well. Looking forward to the BR discussions for sure.

Thinking about this test date as well.
We should plan some BR study groups in late june for sure. Would that be your first take?
