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 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?

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?

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?

JY mentioned that he would go over the difference "later," but I couldn't find it...

Does anyone know where this lesson is, and/or can explain the difference to me?

Thanks!

Getting started for September test, and would definitely want to meet up a few times over the summer before September 27th.

I work on the Hill but also commute out to Annapolis and Bethesda area, if anyone else is preparing and wants to meet up.

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!!

I chose A and after watching the video I can understand why A is misleading. However, when I was reading the answer choices and considering B, I thought “Why assume that Proto-Indo-European is one of the languages that lack words for prominent elements of the environment of their speakers?”

Another question I had was whether or not the possibility of Proto-Indo-European being a language that lacks words for prominent elements of the environment of their speakers weakens the argument. I think that this possibility does not weaken the argument, i.e. does nothing, because we just don't know if Proto-Indo-European is one of those languages or not. Thoughts?

Help please :)

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?

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 feel like I am going to have a lot of jitters

I started some preliminary LSAT prep, and on my diagnostic, I'm currently -5 on LG, -6 on LR, and -4 on RC. I know it's not great, but if I do the full course, is it gonna give me the bump I need? I know not a lot of programs do small bumps in each section easily.

Hi all,

I'm gearing up for the September 2014 test. Wondering if anyone in Orange County would like to meet up on weekdays after 6PM or on weekends.

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?

For four months now, I have been drilling logic games heavily, printing out ten copies, redoing them over and over again.....But although I did improve (went from a minus 16 to a minus 10), I stopped improving after the first month of drilling logic games. I still average a minus 10....so frustrating.

One thing I've been wondering is, do you have to be good at math (or at least have a knack for math) to ace this game? I've sucked at math for the longest time, and when practicing the LSAT logic games I can't help but think back to when I was in the 9th grade and I was looking at a mathematical word problem going blank while everyone else was gettin' it....

So now I've changed my strategy. Not only do I print out 10 copies, redoing them ten times each, but I also spend some time analyzing them, taking notes on how the rules interact with each other and what inferences I should have made from them, playing around with the game board by rearranging the rules etc...

So how long did it take you guys to finally perfect the logic games section? Please tell me I have hope...

Looking for a study partner. I've been studying for quite sometime and this will be my first sitting for the test. Will be going hard until test day.Let me know if interested!

I live in Indiana

I've been using a book classifying LR questions from PrepTest 1-20 into different types but found the questions in it are a bit tough and different from recent LR questions. Is it still useful to get practice from these questions? I mean, by how much?

Any thoughts on this?

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.

http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-26-section-3-question-24/

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

can someone remind me of the strategy for attacking Rc questions under timed conditions. When we see an answer we think is right are we supposed to go with it (b/c the amount of words in this section and time). This entails little checking of other answers underr timed conditions and is a little different from lg and lr in this sense). (after time stops ticking you go back and heck your answers though, like a br type of thing).

thanks,

Jake

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.

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!

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!
