I found this question especially tricky because of what I perceive to be a logic gap in the stimulus. The critics argument can be boiled down to (Justified public funding) -> (indicated that public will benefit). The stimulus then goes on to say if this relationship holds true, then we would not be seeing the public support for this project, suggesting

!(indicated that public will benefit) -> !(justified public funding for this project) -> !(public support)

Is this the right interpretation? I have trouble accepting the second part which asserts that justification of public funding is necessary for public support of a project. I don't see where this is verified in the stimulus.

I'm reviewing RC heavy, and I got stuck on this question, specifically answer choice A (I'm using the Pithypike plan, where I'm doing RC untimed in the 1st month). Now for my own written explanation to myself, I stated A was wrong because the author wanted ALL groups of professionals to be viewed from a new perspective. However, the Kaplan answer choices stated A was wrong because the author wanted physicians to be viewed from the current perspective, and not a new one.

I'm confused, as in the text, the author states that some believe....xyz about physician, and that is _____. He then goes on to criticize and correct/amend their views. Is that not trying to promote a new perspective on the work of physicians? Or am I misinterpreting this? Please clarify this if you can! Thanks!

I am just so nervous with 40 days left for the exam in Asia. I am planning to take it in Singapore. Anyone here is feeling the same way?

:(((((

Hi JY

I came across a question where I don't understand the question stem or how to take on the question type ( Prep Test 36 Q24 Sec 1). Is there a systematic approach on how to take on these "evaluation" questions?

Thanks

My question is in reference to rolling admissions for law schools. Which do you believe is better? Applying with a 162 on the September test (so sending in applications mid-October) or a 166 on the December test and applying very early January? Most schools I am applying to have a March 31st deadline. Will financial aid be completely gone by January?

I have a question about the memory method.

I have arrived at PT 52 and now have comparative passages on my PTs.

I know the memory method suggests pausing after each paragraph to absorb and rethink about what you just read, and then run through each paragraph again once you finish reading the passages before you start the questions.

But what about the comparative passages? After I read passage A, should I run through passage A paragraph by paragraph before reading passage B? Or should I read passage A, then read passage B, and then remind myself of the paragraph contents of both passage A and passage B? Which does the memory method suggest I do?

Hey everyone, I am really confused about the use of 'many' (or some) in LR answer choices.

In some cases many/some is dismissed as insignificant because it doesn't really influence the whole sample size.

In other cases many/some actually weakens an argument because they serve as counterexamples.

For example, PT 53 Sec 3 #9, "Many people who regularly consume camellia tea also regularly consume other beverages suspected of causing kidney damage." --> I thought this 'many' doesn't do anything to the argument since many = some, and the fact that what happens to only 'some' ppl doesn't wreck the whole argument. But as it turns out this answer choice is correct ;(

But in other cases, I've seen answer choices with 'some/many' and they are not made correct answer choices because only some cannot wreck the whole argument.

How do I make judgment as to whether the presence of some/many could really wreck the argument or not?

Thank you all!!

Ok, I just finished PT 68 with a 166. I found the Logic Games to be remarkably easy and I've heard people say that the LG's have been getting easier. I haven't taken 68-72 yet, but I am curious as to whether or not this a characteristic of the newer tests. What do y'all think?

I'm starting the LG part of the curriculum and am going to be buying the logic games bundle.

The bundle includes Logic games for tests 1-35. After I go through the curriculum and practice the questions of the curriculum, where should I begin with the bundle?

I additionally have the following preptests (Would you say practice from these newer tests more than the questions from the bundle? )

The tests I have are:

December 2010, June 2011,

October 11, December 11, October 12, June 13, June 11, December 08, October 08,

December 09, September 09, June 10, June 12, December 12, October 13, December 13,

I have every logic games questions probably because I'm in the testmaster's course, they're just ordered by their method of organization, so I could practice off of the book too. Just not too sure how to organize myself with LG.

I'm taking the September LSAT.

J.Y. mentioned a strategy of buying three watches for the actual test, but I can't find the actual thread to save my life. Can anyone point out the thread or recall what it said?

Thanks!

I can figure out almost most of the questions w/o time constraints. I go through all that I miss using the explanation videos provided. I appreciate that this took an incredible amount of time to put together. But since the clock is designed to be the deal breaker, explanations that are quick could be introduced first, then the complete explanation. Like for whomever provides the explanation, just say how they would reason it through quickly. Speak the words that an expert's/or 175-180 mind says. Help me to train my mind to think the same way.

I have taken 6 practice tests now and on each practice test I do really horrible on the 1st of the two LR sections, I get like 15 wrong. But on the 2nd LR section I only get 5, 6 or 7 wrong. Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix this?

In recent practice tests I have experienced some difficulty with consistency in Reading Comprehension. In some respects this section is a "wild card" of sorts for me in the sense that I had scored as well as only -3 in the section but will sometimes get as many as 8 questions incorrect. However, most times the majority of my incorrect answers come from the last passage that I do not get to fully engage. Has anyone had a similiar experience, and or have any suggestions for solving this issue?

When I first started studying, I used to get through the LR sections with 3-5 minutes extra at the end to go over my mistakes. I'm not sure why, but for the last month I've been reading much more slowly and have barely been able to finish a section. Usually, I don't have time to read all the answers for the last one or two questions before running out of time. Does anyone have advice to increase speed without giving up accuracy?

Hey! So there was a thread started on LR questions. Creating a cheat sheet. Link here:

http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/259/cheat-sheet-lr-question-types

I was wondering if anyone had a type of cheet sheet for LG??

Can anyone explain this question to me? If you could first point out and explain what the flaw in the stimulus is and then match that against the correct answer, I would greatly appreciate it.

This question is beyond sucky. Did anyone else have any problems with determining the right answer for this question? Thanks.

Hey fellow Sagers,

I was wondering did anyone hear start out with a 135 or something or something along those lines when they started their prep with 7sage? If yes what is your score now and how did you do it? Thanks! I really need all the motivation that I can get. I plan on taking December and I'm aiming for at least 155

Hi, if anyone's interested we can work around a schedule.

http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-23-section-3-question-25/

I'd like some help with this MC question. I correctly labeled the main conclusion and narrowed it down to answer choices (B) and (C). However, I couldn't for the life of me distinguish the distinction between the two answer choices. An explanation is provided via JY in the 7sage ultimate package-- albeit, I am still not 100% confident on the correct answer choice.

Thanks!

Can someone explain that why is D wrong and why is E right?

Hey all, on PT 24, game 4, the rule reads "V cannot be prescribed unless both H and M are prescribed."

J.Y translates this to:

V -> M

V->H.

I am having trouble translating this. I know with these you take an idea, negate it, then apply the translation rule.

I keep coming up with

H & M -> V.

Hope I can get some help!

Hello Guys!

I wanted to see if there's anyone who's willing to meetup every weekend on Saturdays and Sundays to study for the LSATs together for the Dec 6th LSAT! I've been studying through TestMasters and BenchPrep. I also have other resources from older test materials from Powerscore and Kaplan. I was meaning to find people with similar interests and working together to understanding each question and succeed! I live around Whittier/Cerritos so anyone close to this area will be ideal, If you're interested please contact this Discussion group or e-mail me at Ekim039@ucr.edu! Thank you!

Hi, I was making up statements to practice and I'm confused about how "no" works when there is a double negative (or what I think is double negative). The statement reads: "No one who fails to come to the party is David."

Based on JY's lesson, we isolate "no" as a Group 4 Necessary Condition indicator. The first idea is "Fail to Come to the Party" (FTCTP) and the second idea is "David" (D). So, I pick either of the two ideas, negate it, and make it a necessary condition. I chose the first idea.

D --> /FTCTP

which, I think, can be rewritten as D --> CTP since "Not Fail to Come to the Party" is essentially "Come To the Party"

Is this lawgic accurate? Some of my friends are suggesting that because of the "fail to", the correct lawgic would be: CTP --> D

and now im confused :(

thanks in advance for your input!

Why does JY in his videos always recommend reading the question stem first? Can't that be confusing sometimes without having read the stimulus? Also, If you read the question stem before and after reading the stimulus, doesn't that waste time? I'd be really grateful for an explanation as to why reading the question first is the best strategy.
