Hey everyone

I'm planning on retaking the LSAT in June after getting a 165 in February. I could do Skype if that works for you, and my schedule is wide open. Please let me know if you're interested!

Im not sure what happaened I was viewing them just fine the other day

I am very confused with a specific relationship between universal quantifiers and existential quantifiers. This confusion becomes annoying in Assumption Questions. Please help! So, basically this is it:

1. "A-->C + A -->B"

2. "A-->C + A -most->B"

3. "A-->C + A some B"

For each of three given premises, we can conclude the same "B some C" relationship. Though the first part is the same "A-->C", the second part is different. I thought that this difference is understandable, because "A-->B" implies "A-most->B" and "A some B". So, we should have the same conclusion for "B some C". But the problem often arises.

For example, PT 24, LR2, Section 3, Question 19. Sufficient Assumption.

"Every student who walks to school goes home for lunch. It follows that some students who have part-time jobs do not walk to school."

The conclusion of the argument follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?

Premise: Walks to schools-->Goes home for lunch.

Conclusion: Part-time jobs (some) Do not walk to school.

Take the contrapositive of the premise, we have "Do not go home for Lunch--> Do not walk to School"

Now, it becomes clear that he Sufficient Assumption to bridge the gap could be:

1. "Do not go home for lunch (some) Part-time jobs". This is the correct answer choice (d).

(d). Some students who do not go home for lunch have part-time jobs.

2. Do not go home for lunch -most-> Part-time jobs.

3. Do not go home for lunch --> Part-time jobs. (conditional)

If we take the contrapositive of 3, we have "No part-time jobs-->Go home for lunch". The contrapostive is logically equivalent to the original. Now, "No part-time jobs-->Go home for lunch" implies

"No part-time jobs -most-> Go home for lunch." and also implies

"No part-time jobs (some) go home for lunch." (This is exactly what the wrong answer choice A says.)

(a). some students who do not have part-time jobs go home for lunch.

Please help me clear this confusion. Is there anything I misunderstood? I really appreciate your help.

My first timed practice test was last summer - 142

First test was October 2013 - 155

Second test was February 2014 - 160

Thanks for all the help 7sage.

This is for the June 2014 LSAT. If interested please email: jason.campana@hotmail.com

Thanks :)

Seeking a study buddy in the Cincy area, plan on taking the lsat in June.

Anyone studying in the Atlanta area (I live in Duluth, NE of Atlanta) want to get a group together?? I'm aiming for the JUNE LSAT!

Does anyone know if the autumn LSAT has been changed from October to September? I was just on LSAC and these were the options that came up:

June 2014

September 2014 - not yet available

December 2014 - not yet available

February 2015 - not yet available

Thanks!

"Nearly every", "Almost All", "Close to none", "Almost none"

What are the exact definitions of these phrases?

Does "Nearly every" and "Almost All" = "most"?

Would "Close to none/zero" and "Almost none" = "some"?

Looking to have a long-term committed study partner to meet once a week for June '14 test.

Discussing PTs and strategies can provide the benefit of two minds over one; also open to discussing any other sticking points.

I'll be retaking and have invested quite some time on this test by now. Shoot me a message if interested in giving this a try. Best!

Just now starting my LSAT Prep. E-mail me if you are serious about trying to get a high score.

If anyone lives in the Miami area and is serious about taking the LSAT on June please email me at esthera_09@hotmail.com .

I have heard that some tests are easier compared to other....is this true? If so, usually during which test date?

I am prepping to take my LSAT June 2014 looking for study partners in the Houston,TX area.Fairly new to the LSAT world.Please LMK if interested!

Just an FYI, for the preptests on the syllabus, after you click continue to the "Download and take the preptest" it goes to the "check and review your answers", but then it says "done" and sends you back to the syllabus as opposed to "continue" for the "Review every question and every section". Not really a problem, you just have to manually click on it from the syllabus page. Just thought I'd let you guys know.

Hey all,

I've been struggling with a problem, that is, repeating my mistake on some old questions, since the first day of my prep. At first, I made sure I understood the rationale behind the right answer and the wrong ones. Later on, maybe a week later, I find myself repeating the old mistake. I tried my best to internalize what I learned from the mistakes. My method is to cut off the questions and make them into flashcards, which seems to have helped me on this front. Do you guys have some helpful methods to really learn from the mistakes you made?

Thanks!

Hey all, I tested yesterday; I was a weather reschedule for the Feb 8th test.

I thought I'd just take a moment and let anyone who's interested know a bit about how a rescheduled test could potentially be a bit different than what you're preparing for =)

So in the event that you have to take a rescheduled test (I guess this is only likely during the winter season tests), be aware that you may run across a test whose LG go back to single-page format (I was a bit surprised for this when I opened up my test). In addition, while the RC section seemed pretty modern (I think as a result of needing to have the comparative section), the LR seemed very dated, and almost definitely were indeed. This seemed obvious to me, because (1) The wording was much more similar to the 40's than the 50's, 60's or 70's, and (2) the question content dated themselves at times pretty obviously (reference to the current popularity of the desktop PC and such).

LG were also -- for lack of a better way to describe them -- weird, just like they were in the 40's and before.

All of that to say, if you find yourself rescheduled, it might be worth your time to practice a LG section in the old style beforehand, and to maybe take or retake a PT in the 40's (which are just so much different from the 60's on) just incase =) certainly not a necessity by any means, but just be aware of the possiblity of an older-feeling rescheduled test!

Did anyone take the LSAT today for the Feb reschedule? Please msg me if you did.

Anybody shoot June, 2014?

So I finished the 7Sage course after 5 weeks and started my Preptests this week. The schedule has me doing two Preptests a week until the June LSAT.

During the course I was jam packed with work everyday. And this week after doing my first PrepTest on Monday I leisurely finished up Blind Review and a second review of my incorrect answers by Wednesday ( I could have finished it all by Tuesday). Anyway, I'm starting to feel a bit unproductive, coming off the last month of working really hard on the course.

Is there something else I can add, besides doing another Preptest a week? The schedule has me completing 36-71 by June.

Anything inexpensive that I can use to hone LSAT skills during the extra time during the week? Review the course?

or .... what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hey everyone, we rolled out a new feature recently that lets you share your LSAT results with others. You can find it at http://classic.7sage.com/review-lsat-share/.

Why do I want to share my results?

If you share your results with study buddies, you can help one another see what you need to work on. Makes studying more collaborative and interactive.

Maybe meet up once a week to go over material or PTs. Let me know :)

Looking for someone to study with for the June 2014 LSAT. I've been studying awhile for this test, so I have most of the concepts down. I'm in the Midwest, so please consider different time zones. Thanks.

Alex.

I am planning to take the LSAT this June 2014, I took the LSAT in December and after studying for a year I went from a diagnostic of 139 to a score of 155(Dec 13). I used Blueprint, Manhattan, Powerscore and of course 7sage. I am wondering how can I use 7sage to continue my studies and reach my goal of 160+? Is this a good idea?

Hey guys, I'm starting my Preptests tomorrow and have a couple questions.

I'm assuming when taking Preptests, no one guesses on the answers left blank after time runs out? Just making sure.

And do you submit two scores into the 7Sage Scorer? What you finished and then Blind Review?

I just want to get an idea of what everyone's routine is

I'm thinking

1. Take Preptest

2. Check Score

3. Blind Review

4. Check Blind Review Score

Sound about right?
