Hey!

This is a quick question, but I'm curious to hear how other's have approached this. I have some LGs where I get within 30 seconds of the "recommended time" with -0. My gut is to lower the number of times I redo this question to 3 or 5 (depending on how confident I felt) rather than 10 times, to help me ease up some time in my studying for games that give me more trouble (any game that takes me more +~1 minute or that I get -1+ on, I note to do 10X.

Thoughts on if this makes sense? How have you handled such questions?

Hi all,

I'm struggling with the translation of "cannot."

In an In/Out game if A & B "cannot" be together, then:

In a Grouping game, if A & B "cannot" be together, then:

Has anyone else noticed a difference in these two phrases?

I was working on PT 47 and "accompanied by" seems to indicate correlation while "associated with" seems to be causation. Is this a recurring thing, or am I misinterpreting these questions?

Thanks for any help!

I invariably get them right but its because of my intuition and not because of how i know how to solve them. Can someone tell me How do you approach this?

I know there are a few other threads like this but I didn't see a very concise answer

I understand that few means some, most are not

A (-s-) B

and A --m-> /B

This is 1-49%

The negation would be all...not,

A --> /B (not 100%)

& it is not the case that (A --m-> /B)

It doesn't seem like with all cases of negation you can just pop off the / and call it a negation so I just want to double check

So after taking the december LSAT and underscoring. I have resolved to get my PT average from 172 to 175+ my sectional scores for the 2 most recent tests i have taken have been:

PT53/ LR -1 LR -2 LG -0 RC -6

J07/ LR -2 LR - 2 LG -1 RC -6

Clearly the only thing holding me back from a 175- is my RC

I am really struggling for a way to work on my weakness in RC. LR and LG are so rote and systematic in the way that we approuch improving. However RC is a completely different animal. I dont really have a sectional strategy apart from reading for structure and keeping my eyes on the MP. I am a slow reader so i spend around 4 minutes on the passage and 3.5 to 4.5 on the questions. Any advice from slower readers like myself would be much appreciated

Hey everyone!

Long time lurker :)

I know everyone's strategy is different for RC, but I was wondering if we're supposed to (or if high scorers actually do) - write low resolution summaries after each paragraph when they're doing RC on the real test or even PT's?

I see JY actually writing like a word or two next to each paragraph in the more recent RC videos, and was wondering if we should also do the same -- like literally write a word or two per paragraph -- for the real test. or if we should just mentally visualize the low resolution summary.

Thanks!

Is there an official thread for this? I need a distraction (or destruction)

Hi everyone,

I am gathering some infamous LGs to practice before the make up test which will happen this Saturday.

Base on my own PTs and recommendations I saw in the past, so far I have the following:

Is there any other game(s) you guys would recommend?

Thanks.

Hi 7sage Tutors!

I have gone through the Grammar lessons in CC. I need to make sure I am reading the RC statements the right way.While reading RC, I try to figure out the subject, predicate for each of the sentences. And then try to imitate JY, the way he reads while explaining in the lesson. I do it in my mind as if I am explaining myself.

I feel this is making me thinking and get involved with the content. Comprehension has improved but it is taking more time while reading.

Will the time taken reduce after practising this way for a few more passages? And what and how to drill Reading comprehension passages?

Thanks :)

Hi Guys,

I was going through PT1 Reading comp passage. In that JY has recommended to watch some videos on Art if you are unfamiliar with the various terminologies of Art. Can anyone suggest me some good youtube channels/documentaries to watch for better understanding of Art?

Thanks in Advance :)

I just want to make sure I'm understanding the %s and #s correctly.

Some...not means there exists 0-99% of the two ideas. Some dogs are not friendly means 0-99% of dogs are friendly. 1-100% of dogs are not friendly. there exists at least one dog which is not friendly. Whereas saying all dogs are friendly would mean that 0 dogs are not friendly. 100% of dogs are friendly.

Original statement: Some alphabets are not phonetic.

Lawgic: A (--s--) /P

% meaning: 1-100% of alphabets are not phonetic. 0-99% of alphabets are phonetic.

Number meaning: there exists at least one alphabet which is not phonetic (A & /P)

Negation: A --->P

All alphabets are phonetic.

100% of alphabets are phonetic.

0 alphabets are not phonetic.

I know that many means some. Can several be used interchangeably with many?

Hi Guys!

Has anyone ever created a simplified flowchart structure of the Blind Review process? If yes, please share it :) Thanks.

Can someone please rip apart AC (E) and explain why claiming that older children who slept with night lights as infants and still suffer from nearsightedness does not weaken the conclusion?

Is it bc AC(E) says "several" and several isn't a significant claim bc it could mean 4 or 5 out of 100 which could be chocked up to being outliers?

I figured we would make our own thread:

Darth Vader walks onto the bridge of his star destroyer. On the bridge are a navigator, a shift commander, a communications officer, a weapons controller, and two storm troopers. Sensing a disturbance in the force, Darth Vader decides to force choke everyone, one a time, according to the following criteria imposed by Darth Sideous:

Hello,

So I'm finding that I'm doing fairly well on the LR section until I get to Q's18-26 and then for some reason, I can't get a hold of the remaining questions. Obviously these are the more difficult questions, but I was wondering what strategies people used in order to combat this difficulty besides just studying more. For example, has anyone tried doing those questions first? Any tips or advise are welcome, I just keep hitting a wall every time I get to those later questions and I wanted to know how other people dealt with it effecively.

Thanks!

Hello 7sage club!

I'm wondering if there are any success stories out there about LR and what that person did to overcome their weaknesses. Currently, I keep getting 8-10 questions wrong on the LR section. I've taken at least 10 PT's, I've done the 7sage core curriculum, and I do the sections timed. I don't find that time is an issue at all, on the contrary, I'll have 6 minutes or so to spare. So I'm just looking to see if there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm planning to take the September LSAT so I still got quite a bit of time.

Thanks!

Hey 7Sagers,

Sat for the Feb 10 LSAT last weekend... and not feeling too great about my performance. I think I scored the same or maybe a point or two lower than my previous attempt. I have been considering cancelling my score (deadline to cancel is tomorrow).

My post-game analysis:

Section 1: Real LG — These games were unusual and it really messed my head up... guessed on ALOT

Section 2: LR1 — Felt that this section of LR was easier than normal but it took me a while to get into the flow after basically panicking during section 1 games... ended up guessing on four questions

Section 3: Exp LG — These games were so much easier and more traditional... on test day I felt a bit of relief and thought that perhaps my first section of LG was the experimental, but after checking the forums, I was greatly disappointed these didn't count

Section 4: RC — Thought the RC section was on par with recent tests.. certainly not as difficult as Candor though... was short on time for the last passage but gave it my best answering questions

Section 5: LR2 — Felt this section of LR to be way more challenging. The stimuli were a bit harder to grasp... guessed on the last four or so.

Overall, I feel less confident about this attempt than my previous. I'm just not sure what to do... the last thing I want to do is post a score a few points lower than my previous attempt, but I also don't want to cancel would might have been better score... what do you guys think? Anyone else facing a similar situation?

Side discussion, how do you guys deal with test-day anxiety? I've been meditating and all of that but still freak on test day! :(

Premise: G –m→ F

Conclusion: C ←s→ G

This is a question from 7Sage course.

It is asking to find sufficient assumption and the correct answer is F-->C.

I totally agree with the answer, however, was wondering F--m-->C can also be the correct answer.

Greetings fellow LSAT enthusiasts! I have decided to learn each question type one at a time. This way, I feel I can master one fully, then proceed to master the next one.

Is anyone aware of any listing of LSAT questions according to type.

IE: Necessary Assumptions questions:

Test 14 Sec 2 # 13, 15, 20.

Test 15 Sec 2 # 6, 16, 23

Test 15 Sec 3 #, 3, 12, 18, 24

This paradox question seemingly has two correct answers: A and E. The paradox is that HE (home ownership) corresponds with prosperity while HE also corresponds with unemployment. Choice A deals with how it can correlate with unemployment while E deals with how it correlates with prosperity ("economically secure" is synonymous enough with "economic prosperity"). Both answers seemingly fall short of explaining the other side of the paradox. However, I chose E on the basis the A was more wrong in that it states that owning a home makes it harder to move to a region "where jobs are MORE plentiful" (emphasis added). We are not precluding jobs from being plentiful from where our home is. Just that on the "plentiful scale", our region is lower.

At the end of the day though, Choice A is correct and I haven't found any forum that adequately explains why. Here's my explanation. Please share your thoughts on it.

The stimulus is not concerned with why HE correlates with prosperity. The author seems to take it for granted and already understands it. His wonderment begins at the second sentence when he introduces the correlation to unemployment. In other words, his real question is why HE can ever correspond to unemployment. And Choice A is the only answer that addresses this issue. This is not really a paradox question in my opinion but more of a Strengthener.

Is blind review for an LR section -2 good? On the timed part I got -6..... First shot doing a timed section in a while :D. This method seems to be key. On a diagnostic I got -11 on LR! Taking June Test...

Hi guys,

I was working through PT25/S3/Q7 when I read this phrase and wondered, "is it a biconditional?"

"warranted" means "sufficient", so to re-phrase the statement would be: "X can be sufficient only when Y"

X---> Y

Y-->X

Please correct me if I'm wrong!

Thank u!
