So i have made tremendous strides in my RC method and technique over the past couple of weeks. Contrary to populer belief, i think RC is a very doable section, especially with the proper incorporation of the memory method.

My question is: does it ever get to the point when one is comfortable with every passage they encounter? I realize this is subjective, but i am asking about your personal experience.

Alot of times i will read a passage and BAM, i feel super in control of the content and absolutely breeze through the questions. And these arent necessarily based on the content or the difficulty. And sometimes i just seem pretty blurry even after a couple of reads. Any thoughts?

I have not done as many of tests to get a conclusion, but I heard there is a difference, is that true? anything you guys noticed?

I'm at a point with Logic Games where I can consistently get -0 in 30 minutes, but I acknowledge a significant reason for this is that I've done every game at least twice -- the ones that gave me particular trouble, many more times.

I want to stay sharp on the section as I gear up to retake in September, but I also don't want to be blind-sighted on test day, when I will be faced with a new set of logic games for the first time in over 3 months.

So -- is anyone else in the same boat? Would anyone recommend a testing prep company that writes their own logic games instead of using LSAC official ones? For LR or RC, I'd be very skeptical about using questions not asked on the actual exam, but given the nature of LG, I think the benefits outweigh the cost, as I'd be supplementing the made-up games with real sets.

I am learning MBT Questions. JY uses diagrams. Should we, too?

Anyone feel like commenting on ACs A and E? Having trouble totally ruling out A.

Thanks

I've heard very little about this. Does anyone use a particular method for triaging LR questions you want to return to? Dark/light circles/squares? Marking a question "completed" after you return and feel 100% confident?

Thanks!

Anyone in the Durham Region or GTA planning on taking the December 2017 test?

Interested in possibly starting a study group if I get any takers. Open to online and/or in person.

Hi guys! General question about strengthening questions. I know from reviewing the core curriculum that, in theory, you can strengthen an argument one of two ways:

1.) adding premises that support the conclusion

2.) increasing the relevance of an existing premise to a conclusion

However, the more strengthening explanations I watch, the more I notice the right answer never really adds an independent extra premise. It always relates back to an existing premise, and makes it more relevant. Also JY mentions in several videos that the AC's that seem to add extra premises are the trap answers.

So, are there examples of correct strengthening AC's that do add an extra premise that in no way has to do with any of the premises already in the stimulus? Because if so, that would be quite useful in identifying trap answer choices. Thank you!

Hi guys,

This is such a stupid question but as the title says, how do you translate: "Jack must wear every colour Fred wears" into Lawgic

Is it F-->J ?

My confusion stems from the fact that there are 2 lawgic indicators (must and every) here. I actually missed "every" initially and thought it was only must so I diagrammed it as J-->F.

Should I interpret it as: "Every colour Fred wears must be worn by Jack" ?

Sorry for the silly question haha just want to be sure.

Any idea when the LR videos for test question explanation will be back up and running?

I am by no means a master of this test BUT i had located a recurring question type that i struggled with.. NA, and i am proud to say that i have conquered it!!!

How? With intense drilling.

I took all the NA questions from PT 1-20 and broke them into small digestible groups of 5s

I then did them at random times through the day for a week.

NA is the strangest question type for me bc it asks for something that is so obvious that my brain fills in the information for me.

By becoming sensitive to the kind of "in your face" obviousness that the question is asking for, makes the AC stand out like a sore thumb.

If anyone else has success stories or methods of slaying the beast (lsat), i would love to hear them

Taking the LSAT in Sept - just finished LSAT trainer/my 3rd prep test (65) and the one section I'm not feeling even alright in is RC. I scored a 162 on the above test and missed 12 in RC. For those who have seen improvement - how do you train yourself to synthesize the information quickly and accurately so as to be able to answer the questions that follow? Unless the content is fairly simple, I have a hard time doing the above.

So in the LG section JY has target times for each LG game, but I am unable to find this same thing for the RC passages. I am practicing RC and using JY's method; I spend 4 minutes up from reading the passage, visualizing the structure, and summarizing each paragraph inside my head after I read it. And then just tackle the questions. Sometimes passages take 7 minutes, sometimes 9 or more depending on the level of questions. What method do you guys use to determine a target time in which you should finish the passage in a section?

Why is D a flaw?

The question banks have them as silent videos but I really want to have them on paper in front me to drill. Thank you in advance.

I'm taking the LSAT in Sept 2017. I work full time, and am considering taking a few days or a week off of work at some point between now and the test. When would folks advise would be best? I'd like to use the time to really focus on studying, take a few more PTs, etc. I am thinking maybe the first week of September. I want to do it early enough that I can still have some improvements from studying (meaning, I don't think taking the week right before the test is when I would see real gains). Any thoughts on timing are appreciated--thanks!

So the common denominator between all 3 of these question types is..logic.

I have been through the curriculum multiple times. I know how to translate into logic. I have memorized the indicators. I understand existential quantifiers.

Why am i struggling so much with these?

So i have narrowed down my problems to MBT, and SA. Which tutor would you guys suggest for intensive stimulus breakdown and analysis into its logic

At 2:00 of his explanation video of PT57.S3.Q18 (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-57-section-3-question-18/ ), J.Y. refers to "the Dramamine question."

I think "the Dramamine question" is PT4.S1.Q4 ("A survey was recently conducted among ferry passengers") but does anyone know if there is a video of his explanation of "the Dramamine question" in the CC of 7Sage?

Or is there another LR question about the effectiveness of treatment of seasickness?

Thank you in advance :)

How do you drill?

What do you drill?

Just wondering what qualifies as a prerequisite for drilling

Should the RC passages all take the same time, or should you expect some to take longer than others as in LG?

Can you wear your watch during the LSAT or does it have to be on your desk?

Thanks!

So i was wondering what the difference between A and D was

Hey could someone break this down for me? Thanks

I've watched the explanation for this video...but one of the conditional statements still has me confused. Basically, J.Y combined a /J and a J, to make a conditional chain...can someone take a look at this video and break it down?

I just signed up for the Sept LSAT in Orange County (Southern California) and was placed on a wait list. Is it likely to get off the wait list for nearby test centers or do people usually get reassigned to a location that is pretty far away? Should I try to contact LSAC and see if there are other ways to get around the issue (like taking the test on Monday) since I'm not too thrilled about driving 50 miles before taking the test.

Any advice/input would be greatly appreciated!!
