So I know the LSAT doesn't really have 'guaranteed' rules that you can use (other than negation, etc), but has anyone come across a correct LR answer choice for a necessary assumption question that used the word "most"?

"Most" is used generally for trap answer choices because the negation of 'most' is 'less than half' and there's really nothing too special about crossing/not crossing the 50% mark for a necessary assumption (unless the stimulus is based on this majority/minority issue). I just looked at a necessary assumption LR question in PT70, S1, #13 for instance and speedily and correctly eliminated three answers on the basis that they began with "most." Of course I went back to read the content, but still, seeing that word makes me less inclined to believe it is correct for NA questions.

I also realize precedents can be broken, but have there been any (correct with 'most') to anyone's knowledge?

I saw someone else offer to share their study guide, and I thought it was a good idea to help get some different perspective before the exam on Saturday. So if anyone else has any materials to share I'd be happy to share my study guide from the LSAT Trainer material, some Powerscore materials, and some 7sage materials. My email is lbalestrieri@uwalumni.com if anyone is interested!

I'm just curious to see if anyone has particular literary sources they would recommend in trying to achieve this goal, specifically in regards to humanities (book reviews) and hard science passages.

Thanks!!

Hi everyone,

Could someone please give me an example of a question in which the correct answer would be "Appeals to a premise one would accept only if one already accepted the truth of the conclusion"? Haven't seen one in a while and want to go over before test on Saturday.

P.S. I have access to PT 44-65 if you know of one in there thanks

Hi, is anyone else having issues with the study schedule generator? It is stuck on the December schedule option, and will not generate a new one for my actual test date no matter how many times I click "generate schedule" for the February date.

Hey guys, hope everyone is doing well. My question is that let's say that I get a 160 on the Dec LSAT and apply to brooklyn Law for the upcoming fall and get rejected, would I be able to reapply to brooklyn law after retaking the February LSAT for the coming up fall? Or is it a case of once your rejected from a school you can only apply for the next cycle. In essence if a person get's rejected can they take the exam over and reapply to the same school which they got rejected to for the same upcoming year? Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, hope all is well. My question is let's says that I did well on the DEC exam and got accepted to fordham, how long do I have to let them know of my decision to attend their school for the upcoming semester?

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm feeling burnt out this last week going into the exam.

What does everyone else's week look like? I work M/T/W and I took TH/F off. M/T/W I am going to do 1 1/2 hours of morning studying before work, reviewing 1 complete, 4 passage, timed RC section, some light LG, LR weaknesses over my lunch break, and home for some more LR practice. Thursday I was considering writing my last prep test, and I was going to take Friday off entirely. I am going to try and maximize my sleep schedule this week as well!

Is anyone doing anything different?

Hey JY/7Sage Team,

I was just wondering if there would be any type of special sale going on for the holiday season for PTs and/or tutoring??

Hello all, yes this is another RC discussion topic. I was wondering if I should drill RC sections or just the passages. I have been doing both and feel like I should be completely getting these passages right and understand them before I do timed sections.

So the following question type:

Which one of the following statements is most supported by the information above?

Is that an MSS question or a strengthen question?

And what about these two inference questions? What question type to they fit into?

1. Which one of the following can be properly inferred from the information above?

2. Which one of the following inferences conforms most closely to the philosopher's position?

Hello. I took the LSAT in September. I was confident after I took it but was not impressed by my score. I used PowerScore for my prep and didn't improve much from the prep test I took when I first started. It was on the low end of all my prep tests average. I got a 145. Yeah it sucks. My undergrad GPA isn't that great either. But I can write an addendum to help with my GPA (I had a major illness one semester). Anyway, I've been wishy washy since I got my LSAT score about whether or not law school is for me. Right this minute, I am leaning towards registering for a 7sage prep course and retaking the LSAT in probably June. And moving foward with law school. But my thoughts could be different this afternoon. If I decide law school is the answer, I need to get my LSAT score up no less than 10 points and preferably 20 points. My mother is not very encouraging or understanding of my ideas of Law school. So I wanted to know if anyone has any advice or encouragement for me. And also I wanted to know if my goal of getting my score up 20 points is even possible. Thanks for your time.

Hi,

Can someone please explain either A or B or else

is this the same as saying either A or B but not both?

Hey guys so I was doing question 4, LR2 preptest 25.

In this question the premise was

a->b->c

and then it concluded c->a

So the correct FMOR answer was

"the argument ignore the facto that some c's may not appreciate a's.

so c -some- a/

Is this a rule that can be applied to all conditional logic? A->B always can also mean B -some- A/?

A bit confused thanks. Hope this all made sense.

HI!

OK.

So I paid for this course. I went to it, it was great. Supplemented with this, I have no complaints.

They offer this Thursday and next Thursday an "in class" "exam situation" where you can bring a prep test and write in an exam environment with a timed proctor, much like the real exam.

I KNOW that this would be beneficial.

However, I'm wondering.. if I should do it, and here is why:

I wake up at 3:30 AM everyday, so by the time 6:00 PM comes around I'm a dead human being. I am aiming for the range of 160-170 for my exam because anything over a 160 is perfect for the university I am applying for. I have been sitting in the 160+ range for the past month. However, I took a practice test last Tuesday at 6:00 PM and scored a 157. I could literally feel myself missing questions because I was trying to get it done, more so then focusing. I was exhausted.

Should I go to the exam situation tonight? I know it would help me with the jitters a bit, but if I write a prep test and score high 150s again, after all my progress into the 160s, it might hurt my confidence a bit, you know?

Alternatively, next Thursday, they do offer it again and I've taken the day off. Would it better for me to go then, after getting a lot of sleep, then to go tonight? Should I go to both?

Opinions, PLEASE!

Thanks :)

Could someone please try to explain this to me. I feel so stupid getting tripped up on this one.

Hi guys, I've been a member of 7sage for over a year, and am taking the test December 6th. I have found that I really enjoy watching "inspirational" videos. I recently found one I found particularly nice and helpful. I am going to post it here. I particularly like the part at the beginning talking about the illusion of "perfect timing" for "great moments." Additionally, there is a part that mentions an African proverb which says, " If there is no enemy inside, then no enemy from without can cause harm." The video also talks about facing uncertainty, etc. Anyway, maybe it will help another out there preparing for the test on Dec. 6. Also, please add to this post things of this nature. I think it would be really nice to have a post of things like this. Some people may find the video cheesy, but anyways, I really like it. Good luck, guys.

When blind reviewing a preptest, should I go back and review the answers to all the questions or just the questions that I circled? When I blind review LG I go back and do all the games and usually miss only -1 or 2 questions. Thanks!

Hi fellow 7 sagers!

I have been taking PTs with JY's proctor video. I have found that I reached the 30 minute mark a few minutes earlier than a stopwatch that I was using, so I thought there must be something wrong with the stopwatch. I started to use my cell phone, but I was surprised to hear the "You have 5 minutes left" message approximately 5 minutes too soon. So today I used a web site that shows the current time around the world down to the seconds and is known to be quite accurate. And.......again the video call the 30 minute mark approximately 25 minutes in.

Am I crazy here??? Did anybody else have a similar experience?

I was curious to know if anyone has any official understanding of the process behind applying to schools when you're taking the December LSAT.

I have taken the September LSAT and retaking in December - Should i wait until the day after i take the test to send my applications? Or can they be sent earlier, while they wait for my December LSAT grades?

Do all schools ensure you that they will not view your application until the December LSAT is submitted?

any clarification would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone!

I've finished my own studying and reviewing of LSAT concepts and am now starting PrepTests. I'm hoping to do around 30-35 tests (however long that may take) in order to improve my score from my diagnostic, which was in the 140s. I was wondering if people had any suggestions on which tests to start with and where to go from there.

Thanks!

Me and a student were studying when we got a bit confused over when to negate the sufficient. Consider these two examples:

If you are a rabbit you are white.

R->W

No rabbit is white.

is it /R->W or R-> / W

I feel like the second one explains If you are a rabbit you are not white and the first one says no rabbit is white. Can somebody for the last time explain when the sufficient gets negated and when the necessary? something concrete to remember would be much appreciated, I know this might sounds basic but after awhile you just get confused...

I know that for the LSAT centers you are not allowed to wear a hoodie or bring your phone and it says all you can have is your ziplock bag. I know we can't have like a purse or bookbag, but are we allowed to bring our coats into the room or are we suppose to leave it somewhere else? Thank you in advance.

So on PT 's with experimentals I avg around a 154 because i get to 18 questions per section. When i finish the exam during blind review i get in the 170's. Not sure if i can improve my timing by december...Anyone have advice on what to do?

I've already paid and am registered, but have no idea whether I need to withdraw, and then re-register, or if there's a way to redelegate it, ect and If I've missed some sort of deadline?
