In terms of formal logic, Does “probably” mean “most”?

Or in other words, does “probably” mean 51% or more?

Did anyone take the rescheduled exam on July 29, 2019?

If so, how were everyone's feelings?

Without coming off as too salty about it, why the unusually long break between the July LSAT and the release of the scores? I guess it is to examine inconsistencies between paper and digital. Perhaps it could be other data gathering, but I am curious to know.

Hi! I know everyone has different strategies for what works well for them for FP LG PT 1-35.

I would love to hear others experiences in how they saw optimal improvements working their way through each of the game sections.

Wondering what tools/tactics everyone is using to learn any new vocabulary encountered through reading comp?

Flashcard apps?

Or just good old writing them down in a notebook/word doc and memorize?

Also someone who scored 180 recommended going through the Barron's GRE vocab book. I feel like I don't have enough time to do that AND go through the entire Ultimate curriculum though. Any thoughts?

Just learned how the CAS GPA system works. My school unfortunately has not had A minuses throughout my last 3 years of undergrad, and therefore, there’s quite a few 91-92% type B+ grades on my transcript that will come in looking lower on the CAS GPA calculator....am I screwed here? Do I need a weakness addendum ready? Looking at mostly T14 schools and already teeter on the edge of most medians before the CAS Calc...

Hi,

I have this argument: "Because we locked the door, no one can break into our house."

The book says that this is not a necessary assumption: "The door is the only way in and out of the house, and the lock impenetrable."

But I thought that if the door is not the only way in/out and the lock is penetrable then you can't really say that if you lock the door no one can break into your house.

Can someone please explain to me why that assumption is not necessary?

Thank you!

Hey everyone,

So, I'm consistently scoring in the mid 160's, which is a big improvement for me (started off at 155). I usually get no more than 3 wrong per LR section, and no more than 2 wrong on LG. But reading comp..... I can't seem miss fewer than 7 questions. I get anywhere from -6 to -12 wrong on each timed RC section that I do. I got a 165 most recently, and that was with -11 on RC.

I just don't get it– I make a low resolution summary for each paragraph that I read, and I usually think I have a good grasp of the material going into the questions. But, when I hit the questions, it feels like I didn't even read the passage. The questions feel like they're discussing a foreign topic, and I end up guessing/referring aimlessly back to the passage in attempting the questions without any rhyme or reason. I never find my low-resolution summaries useful. Yes, I make them as concise and descriptive as possible (I don't use more than one word to explain what happened in a paragraph), but they never help me. JY makes it look easy in his videos, but come PT/drill time, everything I worked on goes out the window. For those of you who've seen great improvement in RC, how did you do it?

Thank you all!

I want to take the October LSAT, but the exam falls on a Monday. I have four classes every M/W/F at my college. I am wondering if taking this exam will count as an excused absence or unexcused? I know every college is different, but i'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what the outcome was. I'm worried because the LSAT will fall somewhere around my midterms, but I can't be sure until I get my syllabi for the classes next month. I want to make sure that if I do have to miss a midterm for the LSAT that it will count as excused and I will be able to take midterms later.

Please let me know if anyone has any idea because I cannot find the answer on my school's absence policy. Thanks!

Hello all,

What came to my mind with drilling LG is using an opaque highlighter (preferably not yellow) to draw your main game board. Doing so saves me time from having to re-draw a lot of small diagrams next to the questions.

I do realize that sub-game boards, quite often, help eliminate some AC in other questions.

So use this hack as your discretion, but I found this method to be particularly useful with grouping games with a chart, because re-drawing charts just TAKE TOO DAMN LONG.

Give it a try if you want!

Hi everyone looking for some advice here! So I took the June 2019 exam and I did not score where I wanted too. I scored a 150. My goal is to hit 168+ that being said I know I have a lot more studying a head. I just recently bought the LSAT trainer to help me better my skills and I am making a study schedule to incorporate JYs memory method for RC and fool proof method for LG. I am applying to this cycle and I need to make sure that I get this exam score. Is october too late to apply. I wanted September because I wanted to apply early in the cycle, but I do not want to rush this and god forbid have to take it a third time. With the Sept. exam being in 8 weeks and the October exam being in 12. What do you guys think is best? asking in desperate need of advice, I already feel like bad for having to retake but to further push the exam is that too late for the application cycle, for someone who would want to be applying rather early? I am also planning on working on my application that way by the time my score would be released I would be ready to go? Please any advice would be great Thank you!!!

I'm up to the part of the CC that discusses how to approach Argument Part Questions.

From what I understand, after reading the question but before reading the stem, we should label the sentence/phrase that the question is asking us to describe, in order to keep the goal in mind.

I have 2 questions about this.

And vice versa?

I'm really struggling with the logic games section, whenever I see a game for the first time I tend to struggle. I've foolproofed about 40 games so far, I was wondering after how many games do people foolproof before seeing results?

Hi! I took the LSAT in January 2019 and scored a 156 . I was a nervous wreck about logic games but I tried my best. I ended up on 6 waitlists at t20s (I knew it was a long shot) and was ultimately rejected from all but 2, which I have not heard from yet. I’ve been studying for a retake and am very scared that my score won’t improve by much due to my inability to finish a LG section. I’m gonna buckle down but there’s a chance that I won’t be prepared by September to retake the LSAT (if my score doesn’t improve a ton). I’ll be out of the country starting in mid-october for work so the more attractive alternative is to wait until January when I can travel to Europe from Africa for the retake since coming to the US for the November LSAT would be cost prohibitive and draining (although I’m willing to make sacrifices if it comes down to it). I’m mulling over these options and wonder what I should do: register for the September LSAT and try my best? Or wait until January to retake? How much of a disadvantage would I be in if I apply late in the cycle versus applying earlier with a potentially weaker score? Do you think there’s still time to turn things around for a marked score improvement by September? Should I submit my apps in the fall no matter what? Etc etc. Sorry for being long winded but these questions are driving me nuts; please help!

So far, I have watched the videos about making low res summaries for each paragraph, and I have also watched the RC question webinar. I have also been drilling passages from PT 40-49 untimed. On harder passages that is convoluted I end up missing 3 or 4 questions, and on the easier passages I end up missing 1. Can anyone provide their RC strategies that has helped them?

Hello Everyone! I will be entering my Junior year this semester. I have not taken any LSAT prep tests before. I recently received the notification about registering for the LSAT coming up in September. I am wondering whether I should keep studying, and finishing my course with 7sage prior taking my first LSAT test, or take this LSAT and prepare to sign up for more after I finish this course.

Thank you any feedback, it is highly appreciated!

Hi, I took the LSAT in February and got 153. My weakest section was by far were the games. I barely finished the questions and guessed at least half the questions.

I am planning to take the September LSAT and am trying to figure out if I should take a course or if I should just use the powerscore bible and keep practicing. I have a limited time as I work during the day so wanted to see how others tackled the games and their study schedule. Any suggestions, especially since it's now digital?

Also, is there a way to sign up for just the logic games lessons for the course on 7 sage?

Hi all!

I'm currently studying to take the September or October LSAT. I need advice on which one is better to take! I am a senior in college and trying to study. I am not scoring where I want to right now, but I know I have about 8 or 9 weeks until the September LSAT. My thought process is that if I take the Sept LSAT, and don't perform as well as I want, I have can take the November LSAT. Which one do you think I should go with?

Thanks for all the help :)

Looking to work with an online study buddy in prep for Oct., Also open to a small study group, maybe 3 people max.

Currently scoring in 160s, aiming for 170. Would like to work with someone/people in a similar or higher score range to talk strategies and thought processes, bounce ideas and questions off of each other, etc.

Also, I'd be interested in regularly answering questions from someone who's driven and scoring below the 150s.

Thanks!

I am learning about negation but when it comes to the quiz its confusing because the only terms I learned through CC was "some" and "all" to learn how to negate. How do you negate terms besides these such as "if...then" situations?

Hi! I am currently going through the CC and am practicing RC.

After watching J.Y.'s videos, I realized that I need a systematic notation method. However, with the exam going digital I am not sure how it's best to go about this?

What strategies are others using/how they are changing for the digital exam? What consistent phrasing (i.e. hypothesis, other person's argument) are you using for your skeleton low-res sketch? What are you choosing to highlight with your stylus?

I can't wait to hear everyone's thoughts :)

Hey guys,

I’m particularly weak at LR and LG. My first mock test, which was the 2007 June one, I got 148 :(

Am I still suitable for LSAT? What materials u guys recommend for me to strengthen my weaknesses? Thanks

History/general law especially...just felt like I was spending way more time than usual on my initial read-through.
