If you didn't score where you wanted to, it means you've some work to do and there are points to gain. I would try to focus on a one or two of QT's at a time and try to drill them. I would start with MC because most of everything on this LSAT is about conclusion and premises. If you can narrow those down, then move on to MSS, because then the conclusion is removed and tugged away in the AC's. Take it one step at a time and you will get there.

I really love the new site! It's incredibly user-friendly and offers a refreshing experience that doesn't feel overwhelming at all. The overall design has a great vibe. I especially love the drilling pre-set by QT, it's a fantastic feature, and the recommendations add even more value. If this could be made a permanent feature, it would be amazing! I understand that the mobile site isn’t active yet, but having this functionality available on the go would be a game changer!

Memorize the words that triggers sufficient and necessary. Do not move forward until you know how to draw logic because that's kind of the core of any argument. Give yourself time since this is like a new language. I will leave some examples here for you.

I will not go to school if it is raining. IF triggers sufficient which always goes on the left side and necessary goes on the right. So whatever follows IF goes with it; they hang out together. My sentence will look like this, If raining then not go to school. "Not go to school" is necessary, which always goes to the right side of the sentence.

Now to draw a contrapositive, just switch it and negate it.

Original sentence: If raining then not go to school.

Contrapositive: If go to school, then not raining.

As I said before, there so much more to this, and it builds up to more advanced. You can do this. Keep at it and it will click.

Your score is pretty good but if you are looking to improve then defintely invest into a tutor. They can walk through your process and tweak it a bit. It generally does makes a difference. I believe 7Sage offers 2.5 hours of tutoring with one of its packages so definitely look into it.

I work full time and have little ones. I do 10 drill question types a day or even a passage a day. If I have to, I’ll wake up at 4:30 a.m. and work until 5:30 am. You’ve to do something. Make it work for yourself. I know you can do it. It is not quantity but quality for me. I also listen to 7sage podcast on my drive to or from work. Immerse yourself even for 10 or 20 mins. It does wonders.

Do a drill where you go through a passage and pick an answer choice where you’re 90% sure, and move on. Don’t change it. That’s the drill. And see how that works. You definitely need confidence when taking this test.

You will need for SA and MBT question types specifically. And sometimes it also does show up on other question types. It’s a very useful skill to have.

LSAT · any good examples in syllabus helping understand ‘NEGATE' strategy in NA questions?

Negation would be the opposite of what the statement says.

John says he likes to eat out.

Negate: John says he does not like to eat out.

Maria is sick of eating broccoli.

Maria is not sick of eating broccoli.

No one likes to fish.

Some do like to fish.

All animals are furry.

Some animals are not furry.

Some chickens are cute when they talks.

No chickens are cute when they talk.

The only tricky thing would be when it’s some, all, most, none, etc, dealing with quantifiers. But other than that, you only negate an answer choice that you think might be the answer. You don’t negate every AC. I know you asked if there were any drills you could do but I just wanted to show you that negation can be a natural thing. I hope this helped!

I hear you. This test makes you question yourself but it’s really about how well you can break down an argument which is a skill set some may have naturally but most need it through studying. If you have tutor a then do share your own self assessment with them and they can guide you better. They can also tailor the lessons to iron out your weak points.

Also, you might have to change your strategy if the current one isn’t working. I might start with taking five, 5 level questions and identify the conclusion and then see why the premises don’t support the conclusion or what you can add to the stimulus to make it better. But don’t solve the question. Just drill the stimulus this way. This has helped me.

You got this.

Study buddy?

Hi,

I am looking to take June 2024 LSAT. I work FT. I am a nontraditional student with little ones. I have flexibility on a weekend, Mon and Fri. I am looking for preferably a female buddy or buddies. I would like to meet once or twice a week to go over possibly a section or two and go over how we both would approach a question type. Or we can do a RC passage together or/and can try to explain it to the other what we just read . I believe if you can explain what you just read, you are one step ahead. We can work on games together, too. I guess just someone to share this miserable journey with and be each other biggest supporter. We can brainstorm together. Please let me know if you're interested!

There will be 2 LR's and 1 RC scored BUT the fourth section can either be RC or LR. So there is a high chance you may have 3 LR's.

You shouldn’t take this test until you feel ready to take it. Don’t work against a deadline because you’re putting extra pressure on to yourself and this test is stressful as is. Keep learning and then take PT to see where you’re averaging before you sign up for June. A good score means more scholarship and less debt you’re taking out. Your future self will thank you. I wish you the best in your journey.

Why not get an internship or a part time work in the legal field to get some experience in? I think it would be beneficial.

LSAT · Staying Focused

68834

Wednesday, Feb 14 2024

You have to make it fun for yourself. I read each line, and make a comment to myself about what is said or what I think about it. I learned this from an online class I attended with John Aldy. So if you read a line that says that, "some critics say... xyz..." Depending on how much you have been studying for the LSAT, you would know that when author is talking about some critics, he will refute it... so when I read about some critics, I say to myself, "yeah, don't care..." And then you go on to read the next sentence. I hope this makes sense? I just talk to myself throughout the entire passage. Or if I see that the author did not agree with what is being stated, I usually say, "hmm...author isn't happy about this, or, this is our author finally telling me what he doesn't like..." I went from -16 to -4. It really works!

TL:DR - After each sentence make a comment on the sentence you read and make it fun for yourself and try to anticipate where the author is going.

It is a learnable test. It is a different skill that we don't utilize on daily which is why it does not come natural to us. But it is learnable. I can go on and on how this test is just arg!... but I have come to accept it. Nothing good in life comes easy... I am sure you are well aware of that. All in all, you CAN do it. I wouldn't give up especially given your background.

You’re a good candidate. The point is, you didn’t stop. You completed your undergraduate degree. If your goal is top 100, then a score of 158-160 is what to aim for. You got this. This won’t be easy and will take a lot of hard work but hey, you can do it.

LSAT · are there indicator words to be able to recognize sequencing/grouping/in out games each time?

68834

Tuesday, Jan 16 2024

You’ve to look for language that restricts how many people can be selected, or in at a certain time. For example, there are five players but exactly four have to be in. The other way you can familiarize yourself is by going through the drill section and selecting in and out games. Read the rules and take note of the language used. You can also drill just doing set up drills without doing the questions. The more you expose yourself to these set ups / language, you will be able to identify them quicker.
