Looking for a tutor for the June LSAT to meet at least 2 times weekly

03/18/2022: Hello everyone? I need to learn which is the correct contrapositive (3) below.

Could anyone help?

I am struggling so hard in these. Does anyone have any pointers?? I feel like I'm so close sometimes, then during BR I change my right answer to the wrong one! Or, of course I just get it wrong 100% and am totally lost. HELP :(

Hey everyone, I was wondering if people had any tips --

What I've found I struggle with the most is close-reading on the LSAT, specifically Logical Reasoning. I tend to zoom over words, or not digest the prompt enough, etc, etc, etc. Sounds silly, but it's definitely what kicks me in the face on difficult LR questions. I'm taking my LSAT at the end of April, and this is still my weakest area after a few months of studying.

Any advice? I'm willing to do anything at this point to fix this issue.

When splitting boards, and when you have an MBT question for example... do you choose the answer that is based off of both split boards? does this go for every category like CBF and CBT?

Hello If anyone can share their journey through reading comprehension it will be greatly appreciated!! Maybe someone who was struggling A LOT and saw break through's or someone whos just killing it in RC (Lol). Please share, I think RC is a section that gets neglected and SHOULDNT. Thank you in advance :) !!!!

Personally I have been struggling with RC but I am making it a mission this month to destroy RC lol, I believe you're only as strong as your weakest link.

I think I reasoned my way though this as I wrote it out. Figured I’d post it in case anyone might be helped by it. Please point out any issues.

I get that every NA is an assumption the argument actually makes. Why? bc for an argument to work, the NA must be true which entails that if the argument has a NA, the argument is obviously making that assumption. But is the inverse also true? Is every assumption the argument actually makes a NA?

My understanding is that most SAs are assumptions we impose on the argument, not ones that the argument actually makes. Sometimes the assumption the argument makes happens to also be a SA. Eg

P: A

C:B

A->B is the NA as well as SA. This seems to affirm every assumption argument actually makes is a NA.

Is it wrong to think of SAs as assumptions we impose on the argument?

Are there times an argument actually makes an assumption that isn’t necessary? I guess technically there could be an assumption within a stimulus or argument that’s unrelated or irrelevant to the conclusion’s reasoning and therefore it being false wouldn’t wreck the conclusion and isn’t needed. LSAT typically doesn’t do this though.

Okay I think I figured this out. Just bc the argument assumes something doesn’t make it a NA but every NA is something the argument assumes. So to check whether a NA Q ac is wrong, ask if the arg assumes that AC. If it doesn’t then eliminate. 8/10 times if argument does assume AC, it’s the correct ac. That’s typically what I do when I’m a bit unsure on NA Qs instead of negation test. More intuitive for me.

Hi! I’ve recently started my LSAT journey and I’m working through the LG section of 7Sage. However, I’m still missing -2 to -3 on a lot of games and I’m just not sure how to improve (besides continuing to work through practice games of course). Everyone says it’s the easiest section to learn, but I’m really struggling and I don’t know many people who have taken or are taking the LSAT and actually did well on LG. If anyone consistently gets -0 to -1 I would love to chat and hear any advice or tips and strategies that work for you!

So I am sure that a 157 isn't very impressive to many. I started studying for the LSAT during December 2021 after I accepted I would take a year off before applying to law school after graduation and then realized I didn't want to do that. I took my first LSAT in January 2022 and was so stressed out that I fully jinxed myself. I got a 146 and knew I couldn't apply anywhere with that. I signed up for the February LSAT as backup in January so decided to try again. I studied for 12 days and took the February LSAT but was way calmer this time. I got my score back last week and it was a 157! I full 11 point jump in 1 month! I'm sure it's lower than most people's standards but this got me into my ideal school's score range so I'm happy!!

Is there a way to do a single LR section and then review how I did ala the single section under the LR curriculum or do I need to finish whole tests to review how I did on a section? Ideally, I could just do a single section, review it, and then do something else.

Can anyone explain why natural cause in (B) excludes only meteorite but not volcanic events?

Why isn't volcanic activity a natural cause...?

I got every detail right, but eliminated (B) right away since I thought natural cause refers to both meteorite and volcanic events.

Hey everyone just wondering what your thoughts are on this. Should I start with the early games or is it more beneficial to focus on FP the newer games and then move to the older ones? Hoping to write in June!

I'm taking the June 2022 LSAT, which I think is the only afternoon LSAT test? I'm a morning person, and I would actually prefer taking the test first thing in the morning. What do people recommend doing the morning of an afternoon LSAT? And also simulated PTs?

I don't get this. I think the method is used a lot when people argue in everyday life. How come this is flawed?

Hello guys,

I have been doing some drill sets for logical games and I have been taking my time to work through them. Sometimes I do 100% more time and I do really well. I was wondering if you guys recommend taking your time or timing yourself to see how well you can do. I feel like I take way too long and am wondering when I should progress to the timed ones.

The correct answer to PrepTest 1 - Section 3 - Question 13 is C. It was marked incorrect by the Problem Set program.

For example, for PT5 S2 Q17, JY solves the question by referencing from his past game boards from past questions to eliminate a majority of the ACs.

Does everyone "save" their game boards like JY does? If so, how do you go about drawing each of them out under limited time? Do you just scribble relevant figures in similar positions without making a full board?

So far, I have been making master game boards using pen and erasing memos written in pencil before moving onto the next question.

I'm curious because I feel like using JY's technique might be a game changer for me. Thank you.

I am a mid 160s scorer with my best score being a 170. I am trying to consistently enter the 170s but my RC is always the most subject to variation it would seem. I have LR and LG down to almost mastery, but every time I do RC I vary from minus 2 to minus 10 and it is deeply frustrating at times. My question to you is how did you improve the best in RC and how did you obtain more consistent scores? I always feel like I get lost trying to find information in the passage, especially with the time constraint. Good pacing strategies also help.

No idea how to choose correct AC between D and E; can anyone explain?

Hi there! How do I just generate entire LR sections on 7sage so I can just practice single, entire LR sections at a time without going through an entire prep test? Thank you :)!

Hey everyone?!

I find myself having major issues with grouping games especially open games. Anyone willing to share some advice or care to tell me what resources has helped you the most with grouping games? It’s the main issue that is impacting my LG score.

Thanks in advance!

Hi! Want to clarify one of the answer choices from prep 18.

I usually don't spend too much time on analyzing specific vocabulary, but this one I need to clarify it..!

For answer choice on q10,

I still don't get 'completely' on (a) being okay.

Normally, when 'completely' appears on other types of questions such as flaw, I would regard it as 100% certainty and eliminate answer choices if there's a chance of showing 99% certainty or below.

In the stimulus, there wasn't any mention whether deterioration happens 'completely'.

Maybe it stops at some point without being completely deteriorated.

I get 'probably' means 'almost all' and this doesn't bother me at all, but 'completely',, am I too obsessed with a single word? Or is it a problem of older LSATs?

Help me!

Hello! I would really appreciate any strategies to improve at LR. When I do the question types individually I do good on them, but when I do a full LR section I cannot seem to improve. Any strategies, tips, or studying patterns that anyone has to offer, please please tell me.

I BR and I go over my wrong answers and see where I made the mistakes. But that has not done a whole lot for me.

Hi All..Quick Q. On the following sentence, using rule 3 (pick one part of the relationship, negate it, then make it the sufficient condition):

"It's not over until the fat lady sings."

O>FLS (on this part, do I think of the negating on the "O, over" because I removed the "Not" in the sentence before it?

/FLS>/O

I keep getting confused on this because of the definition of Negate, i.e. to deny, to declare not to be true. Thanks so much!
