Hi guys I have a tip for these questions. Feel free to let me know if it works for you or even if my tip falls short of anything. So after you read the stimulus, identify the conclusion. I like to highlight it if thats your jam too. And then see how the excerpt from the question stem relates to the conclusion.

If you highlight the conclusion and the excerpt is not the conclusion. Congrats. You can cross off every single answer choice that mentions conclusion. Then you will have to decide the excerpts role to the conclusion. Does it go against the conclusion? Does it support the conclusion?

JY.... analogy by time blew my mind.

@MelissaDuran haha thats pushing the support to the max

Congrats! Feel free to modify my current timing strategy for LR

1-5 in 5 mins

11-20 in 18 mins or so

6-10 in 5 mins or so

Remainder on 21-25

@LadyShiva yeah! Use the negation technique for practice, but in the long run, we have to actually figure out why the answer choice is necessary for the argument. ik ik. I was also told sometimes the negation test doesnt work for 5 star questions because of the pesky test writer's ability to hide the right answers

I’m in a fantasy football league with friends. Quick refresher: you draft real players, set a lineup, and your team scores based on how those players do in real games.

This week Friend 1 was playing Friend 2. The score was 120 to 135. Friend 1 was down 15, and here is the kicker: he left his quarterback slot empty. Friend 2’s whole roster had already played, so 135 was his final score.

I told Friend 1, “If you want any chance to win, you need to start a QB.” Friend 2 jumped in and said, “Even if he adds a QB, that does not mean he will get 16 or more points.” I said, “Right, it is not a guaranteed win. But without a QB, there is zero chance.” That is the point. It is a necessary condition. A QB does not ensure victory, but no QB ensures defeat.

Shoutout to 7Sage. LSAT necessary assumptions can even help you talk trash with logic.

@Divya Yarlagadda based on the difficulty of this question, I would say it's towards the back of the section and mapping this out would be really useful. That being said, definitely allocate time to map out these longer questions and yeah we get paper to write on but the test is digital.

@asturner00 TLDR, group your notes by sections/ question stems and use active recall method. Note. If the studying feels like your brain is on fire while using active recall, then you know active recall is working and you are actually learning

@asturner00 use the active recall method. Write down your notes in sections and transform them to questions. Recall as hard as you can. If it takes you more than 2 mins, go back to the section in 7Sage and look up the answer. EXAMPLE: What do I have to do with every answer choice in Principle questions? Do not blindly write down the notes. That is called passive recall and it's utterly ineffective in note taking. Opt for question based notes where you are forced to think about the answer.

@RyanAlexander I heard dumbasses and headed straight to the comment section LOL

I am at a loss for words. I learned about kicking up the domain before there was a video about it and I struggled understanding it. Thank you so much 7Sage. The video is soooo goood!

JY blessed us with a break by throwing a 1-star question at us

@JRamirez imagine lsat writers are looking at our comments to know which questions we struggle with more

This question was interesting because we can eliminate four of the answer choices just by reading the first argument. Dang!

@rbahu No. Clearly it is because they are protecting the authors from hate mail. (Just kidding)

@Pinkie

Reading memory is a skill we build up. For the vocab, do it the Henry Ewing way haha. He just googles its whenever he comes across a vocab word he doesnt understand. Then hopefully by test day, you have a bigger word bank when you cant Google the word
