Hi wonderful people,

I am just reaching the end of the LR portion of the CC and I am feeling good, but nervous for logic games. Do you think I should review all of the LR i studied from the beginning for a few days and then move to logic games, or just carry on or alternatively, do both at the same time.

Any advice and encouragement for logic games is appreciated :')

I'm registered for the November 2018 LSAT and as of now the earliest date I can postpone to is January 2019.. I'm going to apply next cycle so I'm thinking about the September 2019 date. It doesn't look like this option is available yet. I already emailed LSAC about this but anyone know what their reply would be?

Thank in advance.

If there is no PDF to review for a particular section on the lsac website for the Sept test, does that mean that was the experimental section?

is there a CC lesson on LG rule substitution Q's? i think JY mentioned it in one of his LG explanation videos.

thanks.

How important is the LSAT score in getting a scholarship? I'm an international student and from a poor family. I must get a full scholarship and it's the only way I can afford going to law school. I took the LSAT once and got 175. Is it enough? Should I take it again and try to get a better score or should I work on application essays and other things? Which schools give out more full scholarships to international students? Thank you for your advice!

Scored my PT average on everything except RC. I was 6 pts below my PT RC which resulted in me being 3 pts below the score I wanted. I feel like on test day I just second guess everything about the passage and end up reading it over and over. Any tips/strategies?

After getting my September LSAT score, I'm pretty disappointed. I first took it in June without much preparation, and got a 151. After studying the entire summer, my PT has been around 160. However, my September score was almost the same as my score in June. I plan on taking the November LSAT, and I would really appreciate if you guys could please give me some studying advice. Thank you!

Looking for opinions from those of you wiser than me! I scored a 159 on September LSAT...exactly my practice test score. Here's the complicating factor...I missed 12 on LG, also typical for me. Long story short, I have a weird spatial learning disability that makes diagramming and inferring from diagrams quite difficult for me. I am a non-traditional student at 49 years old, have a great GPA and Phi Beta Kappa membership from undergrad, am finishing an MA in the spring, and owned my own business for 20 years prior to this endeavor. So, do I try to find some additional LG resources to complement 7Sage and re-take in November? I'm not aiming for Top 14 but financial aid is an imperative. TIA for your expertise!

Why does it say this? "unofficial score report"

I've been doing some drills to understand my LR process better because I feel like some questions make me incredibly and irrecoverably slow but when I look at them again, I see the point real quick. So my question here is, if any of you have tried this, how long do you take per average on easy/medium questions vs how long do you take per average on hard/hardest question. Or, do you take longer on a particular Q.type?

I do pretty decent on RC section and by and I thought I’d share a resource that I love that I think would be good for people to practice reading comprehension on science topics.

It’s a website called sciencedaily.com and they have abstracts from a lot of scientific journals. It’s laid out like a normal online newspaper but it is all very heavy sciency stuff on lots and lots topics. In length they’re about what a RC page is.

Anyway, I read it for fun and it does make you familiar with a wide range of science topics without getting too long and too deep into specifics

Premises: 1) a survey of 17-year-old has found that many who do not drink report having taken a pledge to refrain from drinking; 2) almost who drink report having never taken such a pledge

I wonder whether what these premises establish is a mere association (some weaker form of correlation) instead of a correlation???

Does anyone have recommendations on main conclusion questions? I am struggling in that category and can not seem to get it down. Seems like my biggest problem is finding the conclusion and premise when there is nothing but an argument starting with But,although, and however. The easier questions I don't seem to have issues with, its when we start getting towards that the harder questions.

Hi all.

This is an intentionally short and to-the-point discussion post. I want as much input and insight as I can gain and don't want to turn away any potential comments with a huge long prompt. So please forgive my lack of details.

Things were going so well. I crushed my first prep test, skated through introduction to logic and strengthening questions. I felt good about my LSAT studies and had confidence. Until I started the Validity and Must Be True Questions section. My progress immediately halted. The concepts stopped sticking and I have begun to start losing the confidence and swagger I once had. Specifically, the Valid Argument Forms 1-9 might as well be Greek to me. I have trouble understanding why I need to keep nine fucking argument forms in my head. They appear to have only subtle differences and I don't see how memorizing those details could help increase my LSAT score.

I just want to get back to studying LSAT questions and study things that are directly applicable to the exam.

Now, let's be real. It isn't the awesome service of 7Sage that is discouraging me. I have been really exhausting myself trying to study every minute I have available. Additionally, I have almost completely stopped exercising and my sleep has been disrupted with stress about the exam. I realize that these lifestyle factors play a large part in my academic productivity and I am addressing them. But in the meantime, somebody - ANYBODY - please let me know how I can survive validity/invalidity sections.

Help me! Anyone! I'm losing my fucking mind!

Right now I am more focused on the quality of school over scholarship opportunity. I am already signed up for November and will definitely score it, but If I am not satisfied with my score, can I still apply to a upper tier school (#10-30 range), or is my chance of getting in too low to even bother applying.

I wanted to know if there is a general trend among people to feel one question type as more difficult than the other. So I added ones where I seem to have most frequent errors.

What do you guys think?

Hi. I dont think I am ready for the November test and really anxious. I know it's still a month but now I am debating if I should wait til January :( Please help?!

I am rereading PS Bible for MSS/MBT and encountered this statement (FYI; I am using 2017 edition; page 122)

The statement is "many people have some type of security system in their home"

PS classifies this reverse statement "some people have many type of security system in their home" as wrong;

while reading, I did have the sense that the statement is wrong; but I am interested in the logic behind this reversal;

I thought many is some; wouldn't these two statements be the same or am i missing something?

Hello 7Sagers!

I am wondering if someone could give me advice about what they think is the most efficient way to retain and review lR material. I want to create something that I can review everyday and that in the end will help me put all of the pieces together. So far I have been writing notes from all of my lessons, and then I rewrite them to make them look neater. I want to kind of create a cheat sheet for all of the things I am learning in the LR section.For example: I have a sheet on MBT questions. Am I doing too much? Is there a better way?

This might be the dumbest question of all time, and I think I know the answer. But I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. Can someone outline what the fundamentals for LR are?

So I've noticed that in recent commentaries, JY says that when you do a LG, as you write down the rules, for each rule you write, go down to the 1st question and eliminate AC's if that's an acceptable situation question.

That way, by the time you finish writing down your rules, you would've already finished the 1st question (if it's an acceptable situation question).

Is this protocol? Should we do this for every Logic Game? Why is this a good strategy?

Any advice or comments would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi! Is anyone else looking at 10 Actual, Official LSAT Preptests, even though they are less relevant? Let's talk about them here!

Can someone please explain why answer choice A is correct.

My understanding from the reading of 43-48 is that biologist were transformed into the new discipline of Molecular Biology. It makes me think two things.Either that they simply revised the old discipline of molecular biology. Or they former a new disciple of molecular biology that was not around yet.

Please help me with this question because I eliminated A based on the fact that I thought that molecular biology might had already been around and that this discover just furthered the already existing discipline making it the new discipline.

Hey guys, I have been having a lot of trouble with this question type. The easy ones I don't really have problems with, but for the harder NA questions, It seems I can always get it down to two answers, and always the correct answer is one of the two, but I sometimes end up choosing the other answer -_____-.

I always Find the conclusion first, identify the support (premise) after, then try to spot the gap in the argument. I always am able to get it down to 2 answer choices (always the correct answer choice is one of the two) and then I try to Negate the last two choices. It seems that because its difficult to pre-phrase NA questions, I have more trouble with this type. Also have been practicing the Negation techniques and seem to be improving on those as well. Any advice on what I can add in or what I have to change with what i'm doing? PLEASE HELP!! Taking test in November, I feel almost every question type I have improved so much on, just these NA questions are killing me!!! ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! Thank you!

Can you solve this below?
