Hello,
It seems like my 7 sage grader is not working I tried with another device, and also deleted and downloaded the app twice to make sure it's not my phone. Has any body encountered this? if so would you please tell me how to resolve it?
thanks
@ Thanks Daniel. You are right I don't score 180 and that is my target score in repeated PT. Do you recommend writing down my reasoning for each question during the test and during BR, or just during the BR? For the most part I do write an explanation for the questions I struggle during the BR and also the ones that I got wrong either after BR or during the test. I try to imagine I'm teaching the answers to someone so I force myself to articulate the full explanation. I even try to understand what I did wrong in the test but with not much of a success. Because I don't know why in that 30-60 seconds I made a mistake or what I was thinking unless I missed a word or something. Did you lower your time for the test? Also, another problem of mine is RC like many other test takers. I don't read slowly per se but when I get to the questions I stumble and take more time to Eliminate wrong answer choices as I should but when I BR since I have enough time I can get the answers right. I know its repetitive but what is your suggestion in that area?
@ Thanks so much for sharing your experience with me. I started studying for the lsat again in September. My starting point was 160 under timed condition and right now it has gone up to an average of 170. My BR score started at 89/101 and now it hovers around 96-99/101. I barely have any mistake with LG , at least in these routine LG questions. My main problems are with LR and RC. No matter how many times I see certain flaws and patterns when I come across a new stimulus I just stop seeing those patterns. The reason for loosing my motivation is that I feel like I'm definitely not at 170 and not knowing where I'm sitting at for months its absolutely disheartening.I keep on saying the exact same thing to myself that if I'm not scoring 180 it means that there is room for improvement. But I hope if I could one day score 180 consistently then that would be an indication of my ability to score above 170 in a real test.
On my low days of Lsat, "Survivor" from Destiny's Child helps me get throught it!!
Hi everyone,
After joining the last webinar I realized that I am not the only one who is studying with repeated preptests which that was a relief. I'm planning to write in June but if need be I can write it at a later time. Right now I'm using old preptests and use 1-15 tests as my experimental section. I have only 4 new tests (all recent ones) and I'm keeping them to write in March, April and May. I extensively BR each section. I know my scores are inflated and I know I remember at least 4-5 questions (mostly from LR). Sometimes I write the test in 33-32 minutes, and other times I give myself a penalty for those questions I remember(spending more time for the questions as if I was BR ing them). I'm keeping track of my scores and I'm having an upward trend.
I started studying from September but not knowing where I'm sitting right now at this point is discouraging and is anything but motivating. Sometimes I wonder what if I'm not improving or if all these efforts are futile!. For those of you who practiced with old materials how did you cope with the mental and emotional exhaustion of it?
Thank you so much:)
Thank you, I really needed it. I have been preparing for the lsat from this May and I have planning to write Dec lsat. However I'm not even close to what I expected from myself. I did preptests 10-40 untimed (but I blind reviewed) from 40-50 I timed each sections but did them seperately and from 60-70 I wrote them back to back as in a real test. I diligently reviewed and analyze each and every question and always aim to find 4 wrong answers.
unfortunately I have a huge problem with timing, I can barely finish on time and if i do my score is at best 160 (and im very dissapointed) if I'm given a bit extra time i can score much better (170) but I guess that's the case with everyone. At times it is very discouraging... I'll greatly appreciate if anyone could give me any advice on what to do next.
How long is this webinar? I'm off work at 7:45. Any chance I could join then?
Hi,
I just checked the question and it is asking for a necessaey assumption and not a sufficient assumption. The question asks for "which one of the following is an assumption the argument depends?".
As for the correct answer choice "B" is the assumption and the gap between the premise and the conclusion. Also if you negate "B" the argument will be destroyed.
C" is wrong because we don't have to assume that all parts of the flagellum are vital. We just know that it requires many parts to swim.
Thank you all for your responses they were very helpful!
Hi, I'd like to join you guys however I need to know which preptests you are planning to BR so I don't do them!
Thanks for your reply. Do you know by any chance when roughlg this test was administered? Also is there anyway to buy that preptest alone? I have the other two preptests. Thanks again
I usually come up with examples in my mind to make these statements more tangible. So let's say most dogs are black, does that mean that most black things are dogs? No it doesn't. If you diagram these two statements with circles you should be able to see the difference as well. A " might be a small circle that most of it is in "B". But "B" is much bigger than A and only shares a small part with "A". I hope this explanation helps.
Hi everyone,
I'm desperately looking to buy an LSAT preptest which under 7 sage has been named as C2 -administered on Jan 2016. Since the grading for that test is up I am assuming that we can buy the test as well. I checked Amazon but could not find it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
So what's the best book for GRE?( I've studied Lsat for about a year already!)
It happens from time to time and I'm thankful for them when they do happen because I have to force myself to work through the question and at times fight with my gut feeling. This is what I do in general if I have a feeling that I remember a question I do my best to find the flaw before I go to the answer choices and if I'm down to two answer choices, I don't pick the one that I remember because it could very much likely be the wrong answer choices I had picked before so more reasons to use logic and reasoning!
Would you say the test was harder than 70 s? Now that we are in 80s I want to know what are the changes we should expect.I know the changes in lsat are gradual and alsoI the LG are getting harder but overall how did you find the test?
From time to time, especially when I reach a plateau, I feel like I'm not capable of doing any better or that maybe I have reached my potential. But then I keep saying to myself "If one can do it- I can do it, if no one can do it, I must do it."And it actually helps!
So Joshua goes from ~referring to something -->meaningless
If you do the contrapositive you get to (A). Answer choice (C) is the opposite of (A).
I hope this helps you!
I'd like to participate as well. I'm unable to download global gomeeting on my mac or phone so I will join you through the phone !
