Just wondering if any 2018 Ontario law school hopefuls have had their OUAC profiles updated with their February score? Mine’s not showing and just want to see if it’s the same for everyone and if so, when they’re usually up by. Thanks!

For point at issue Q's, any advice - on whether to use the chart method with the check and X - or just the more intuitive way where you try to rephrase the disagreement and then just find the correct answer choice?

It's hard to juggle both, and I'm hoping to just to do one and stick with it. Thanks.

I was trying to solve NA question by using negation test, but I had a hard time with sentences below:

How do I have to negate this?

So, I have been feeling incredibly anxious with my prep. I was able to move quickly through the logical reasoning CC, because each question took less time and it didn't feel like I was learning a completely new approach to answering a question every time I hit the "next" button.

Moving into LG, I expected it to be even quicker - it is my strongest section in the (4) practice tests I've taken. However, I began and it was a slow journey. Learning each game board and how it worked made me exhausted. I just couldn't do as much in a day. My studying pace slowed down and I felt like I had stunted my progress and was falling behind. I continued to do sets of my weakest logical reasoning question types in hopes of helping out with the anxiety that began to build.

However, I'm finally feeling like it is okay I took that time. I finished the LG CC and am now fool proofing LG 1-35 (admittedly, I'm doing every other PT to help my morale of feeling like I'm doing PTs that are too old; I'll then go back once I get through the odd numbered PTs). After all of the hard work and mounted anxiety, I've been able to get my first 3 sections done with 5+ minutes to spare and -0. I'm finally feeling like taking the time I needed was worth it, versus feeling like I should've continued at a steady pace throughout the entire CC.

So, this is a both a self-congratulatory post (which I recognize and apologize for the obnoxious nature of) and a post on hopefully reminding one other studier to let the material guide your pace, not your stress or anxiety. In the end, I'm so glad I took the upfront time so that I am not bogged down spending hours early on in the fool-proof portion of my prep.

Also, let's be real, I'm sure this weekend I'll hit road bumps. But every learning is worth putting down. I've also found it helps to write these things out or share them so that you can go back and remind yourself that you felt excited enough on one day to share it with the community. So, you can do it.

I recently finished the flaw questions portion of the 7sage curriculum and found this question type to be my weakness. Once I got to level 3 difficulty questions, I started having problems. I don't know if it's the language of the questions or if I'm just not understanding the concept. Anyone else have this issue and improve drastically?

I am currently in my foolproof stage and I am starting to notice some of the games repeat when it comes to set up and even with rules but I am having lots of trouble finding a way to approach games that require you to use lines as a game broad setup. I normally read the game a few times then when I notice I can’t figure a way out to set it up i end up watching the explanation video: example game PT 18 game 3.

Help please.....What are some of your methods that help with games like these?

Also what are some methods to saving time when doing LG. Because I also notice that when I try to do a game in 5mins if I spend even just a few extra seconds on organizing the game broad I can’t get to all the question. And I rather be accurate than fast. But as we all know that won’t help me get anywhere if I’m not accurate and somewhat fast

Can someone please explain the difference, if any, between pure sequencing and linear or ordering games?

I confidently chose D but after seeing that E is the correct answer, I can somewhat understand why. My issue is with trying to explain why D is wrong. I took D to mean that the fed gov's expenditures (i.e. allocations) for soil conversation in various states were inequitable. I thought this was main point based on the last sentence.

E's wording was too strong for me to choose it over D. I suppose the argument is actually saying that the fed gov just isn't spending enough money on soil conservation period.. primarily the author takes issue with the amount spent on nationwide conservation program. The author's not concerned with some states getting more conservation money than others, they're just upset that Florida gets $100,000 for soil conservation while the nat'l programs only get $50,000 for instance.. right?

Can anyone provide their thoughts or reasoning?

Question type: Explain

Premise:

Conclusion:

I chose (B) thinking that the silencer will "share" the power with appliance. I realized that was just an assumption I made. It would actually not explain why the new silencing device will make lower electricity consumption because they are both using same power supply.

Anyways, I don't see why (A) is a correct answer. I'm not sure where to know that the motor's efficiency = electricity consumption

Hey all,

I've already read Powerscore's LR Bible and the LR section from LSAT Trainer. Should I still go over the entirety of CC? I feel like a lot of it overlaps.

If I shouldn't, any ways on how to be strategic on how to utilize CC - given I've already gone over LR bible and LSAT trainer?

CC is a ton of material - i'm just trying to be the most efficient and effective with my time and studying.

Currently getting around -8 wrong in LR per test - kinda scattered throughout question types but I see I've been struggling with harder questions (difficulty level 4/5), weaken/strengthen Q's, some SA questions.

Many thanks.

Does anyone have experience with whether schools decide quickly after the February LSAT? The schools I applied to were waiting on my score. Should I assume they've already generally made up their mind, pending my LSAT (I did well) and I'll hear relatively quickly or that they didn't start reviewing it until they got it and I should wait 4-6 weeks?

Thanks!

These games usually kill my time. Do you guys usually hit the questions after diagramming the rules (assuming you're good at interpreting the chains) or do you all make multiple worlds?

Any heavy reverse splitters out there? I have a 3.98 undergrade with a 150 lsat. Missed my mark by about 3-5 points.

I don't get how both these answers are saying different things. I think they are both NA, but apparently the first answer is not a NA.

How is the first answer not NA? And is there a difference between these two answers in what they are saying?

I am having some real difficulty with parallel questions. Could anyone explain how to do these in their own words? How do you guys attack them?

Planning on taking the September 2018, unless I just feel so confident that I decide to take June/July, so I will FINALLY be able to study full time during the summer and would love a study/accountability buddy especially if you will be PT-ing during the summer. I would also love to know if anyone has a specific study schedule that they follow for studying full time, I have never had the opportunity to do anything but work full time and study once I got home so I am really trying to make that before I make the transition from working 8 hours a day to studying most of the day because I know myself, and I know that without structure my time tends to fly by. If you have a day/study schedule with extensive detail that would be amazing and any other suggestions, tips what to-dos , and what NOT to-do list please share!

Any advice on how to get better at LR 4/5 star difficulty Q's? I'm like -7 for LR (both sections) and almost all of the 7 wrong are all level 4/5 questions. The 7 wrong are also kinda scattered throughout question types.

I find that many of them I can't get right in blind review, and it also sometimes takes me a LONG time just to process and think through it -- even after reading an answer explanation or watching the video explanation.

How can I expect or get to a point where I can get to -0 or -1 in LR and get these 4/5 difficulty questions with speed and confidence?

What part of the passage indicates that translucent bands grown in the winter will only be half as long as the opaque bands in the summer?

PT 1 - 4 - 21 MBT

I have a question regarding about conditional logic.

I was able to make the conditional statement from the stimulus as to [ no Laws ----> no Crimes]. Then the contrapositive of this should be Crime -------> Laws.

A. Laws ---> Crime

B. no crimes -------> no laws

C. many laws --------> many crimes

D. some crimes -------> some laws

E. many crimes --------> many laws.

I looked at the answer choices and eliminated A, B, and C for the reasons that they are not satisfying the sufficient condition of the "Crime" (for the contrapositive of original satement). Then, I looked at the answer choice D and saw it as a contender, but I saw E had the same meaning with the indicatior "many."

I am so confused now since I believed that some and many have the equal meaning in conditional logic. (some/many = 0 - 50)

Perhaps I made a mistake in making the conditional statement from the stimulus and made a wrong reason to pick the answer choice D.

I will appreciate any help!

Thank you!

i left the test feeling confident about scoring around my PT average ... give or take a few. [most likely “take a few”, but still]

with each passing day, especially these days nearing score release, i’m getting more and more sure that i got a 120.

I am currently 80% done with the Core Curriculum! I have done all of the practice sets and feel very strongly as of now. For the Logic Games, I have played each game 1-3 times and having shorthand fool proofed and watched explanations when needed.

Should I seriously Fool Proof then head into RC or finish CC then revisit Logic?

Testing in June with the Ultimate Package. I am very anxious to start PTing already, but any suggestions for mapping out the remaining 3 months or so to use my time/resources wisely?

I don't get why answer choices D could be true. Are you not supposed to consider the contrapositives of the answer choices or of what's in the stimulus? I would think in this question you especially would want to consider the contrapositives since the last sentence calls for you to contrapose the entire stim to match with /ID. I thought that the explanation JY gave to A) would be applicable to D) as well.

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-28-section-1-question-20/

Stimulus:

EW → PC

EW→UR→ID

Contra: /ID →/UR→/EW

/PC→/EW

Answer choices:

D) /EW→PC. contra: /PC→EW. Not sure how it is that this CBT. In the stim, /PC --> /EW.

How can it be consistent to say that when prices aren’t constant, the economy is both weak and not weak o.O

Is it that, as long as either the contrapositive or original statement in the answer choice could be true, then the answer choice could be true? The original statement in D) could be true...

Hi 7sagers,

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this. So for the first PT I ever did I got -2 on RC, it was the first one on 7sage (Just to get a sense of where I was starting). I didn't diagram anything, didn't make any notes. I was just able to read it really fast and go back and look at the passage for the answers without hurting my time. I was really happy obviously and thought maybe my background as an English major had helped out or I was just naturally good at RC. Then two months later, post-core curriculum, I go to take a PT on paper instead of electronically, and I get -11. The passages were albeit harder but I had the same level of confidence that I had when I first took it. Ever since then, I've been getting similar scores when I do RC and can't comprehend (no pun intended) why I did so well on the first one. I'm used to reading everything online and hardly ever read physical texts, could that be the reason or did I just get really lucky, or... I don't know but now I feel like I'm back to square one with RC.

I'm wondering if anyone has had any discrepancies in taking the LSAT electronically versus physically or any RC inconsistencies like this because in LR and LG, I am always within range of what I got previously, minus 1 or two.

Thanks,

L

Hello 7sagers,

If a question in LG asks, "Which one of the following Could Be False?"

Can a choice that is Must Be False be correct?

Similarly, if a question in LG asks, "Which of the following Could Be True?"

Can a choice that is Must Be True be correct?

Thanks very much in advance!

Hey everyone. I just finished the Strengthening Questions section in the CC and have a burning question: how often does "some" indicate an incorrect answer choice? Is it a word that can be attributed to a general rule (i.e. "Whenever y'all see 'some', it ain't right.")?
