LSAT · Cancel 153?

NoNamed92

2 days ago

@Nique Thanks, I went right back to Spanish 101 to start with (the first lesson). I am a big overthinker, so these simple lessons have been good to identify key phrases that had been confusing to me.

It looks like the foundations program provides enough time and mixture to reform habits and approach drilling a bit more fresh and clean, so I am happy I went that route. Setting the test date from June to August also provided a nice bit of relief

As simple as these grammar lessons are, without them I have been overthinking a lot.

These exercises have been good grounding exercises. Feels like we are building a solid foundation.

LSAT · Cancel 153?

NoNamed92

2 days ago

@Nique This was my first scored LSAT. When considering how a cancel is approached, it would be a stretch to assume that it was 153, as you mentioned they would much more likely be discounting it to a lower score, and since the Cancel will be seen, the 153 is the better option than to let imagination do harm.

I feel that having the score on file, and making an improvement would be an effective demonstration of the students ability to apply themselves to a task and achieve their academic goals.

For me the 153 is a fine first score. I am not sure how it would apply to others seeking only the top 14 giants. My goal is to move up to 162, 160-165.

If you answered B it is a good idea to go back to the previous Foundations lesson "Comparative Language is Versatile"

The question used the phrase "no headache pill stops main more quickly", the confusion arises from not considering the alternative.

While no pill is quicker, that doesn't exclude other pills from being as quick. So other pills could be either 1) as quick, or 2) slower. We only know that no other pill is quicker.

Committing to the claim in B is overreaching.

Lets imagine our elementary school track meet. We might have a race that finishes with a tie for first, Mark and Chris both running the same time.

Now we can say no runner is quicker than Mark.. but that does not mean that no one was as fast as Mark, and we know that Chris ran the same time.

So the only part that must be true, is that Mark will be at least as quick as other runners, we cannot say he ran quicker than all the other runners since there is that one that was also at same speed which is not quicker its equal.

TL;DR: we cannot take the phrase as < or >, since there is the possibility it could be =&< or =&>

Cancel 153?

I wrote the April LSAT, but scored below my floor. My typical test results range from 154-158. During my test I suffered a complete RC collapse which led to many unanswered questions.

Going into the test I recognized that RC was volatile, and began to pinpoint problem areas in LR. I was not fully prepared for that April test, but I wanted to have a test on file, take it remote while I could, go through the experience, and was hopeful I would score 158-162 as my drilling in the weeks prior was showing good improvements.

While 153 is close to my prep test range (154-158), that score does not really open many doors in terms of admissions, and I do not feel that it was an accurate measure of my ability.

I think I will not write in June to have more time to prepare for August. I am new to 7Sage and want to go through the lesson library and a full study plan so that I am comfortable next time I test. Going forward I am going to remove bad habits that distract from my studying and play into a poor attention span (aka reducing screen time and avoid social media).

So what is worse, the 153, or a cancel.

My target score is 162-165. Individual LR have ranged from 70-85%, RC 55-70%.

I'm going to talk to you like I would myself. I am not really sure why you would expect higher at this point, or how you think you have earned it.

You are not trying hard enough. You need to put in a lot more effort.

You need to be doing the experimental section to improve stamina. The battle of attrition is a real challenge you need to build up to, and by your avoiding S4 it seems like you have not been challenging yourself in this regard.

Just look at S1 vs S3, that is fatigue! Think of this as the necessary skill building required to succeed in law school. During the semester you will have a lot of coursework and critical timelines. If you really want this you need to try a lot harder, and make sure you are making optimal use of your time when you are studying.

Stay committed cause *we* are on the right path. Take the time to go through the lessons, and blind review everything.

Use the study plan to keep you committed to a timeline and practice. Eliminate June from your mind, that will only add pressure. The problem for me is that I could do some questions, even up to highest level, and feel good about those individually, but that doesn't put it altogether.

Focus on the process, commit to it, pretend like this is law school, do what you would do there in terms of pacing and commitment.

When studying turn off your phone and place yourself in a test environment so you can fully focus. You are not focusing, you are overthinking, and you are too easily distracted. If you really want this, prove to law schools you can and should be there, we really need to earn our spot, and the rest of your classmates are going to be super committed, intelligent people, taking no days off, and we need to be like them.

I scored 157 on Prep Test 149. S1 -8, S2 -11, S3 -6, S4 -9.

As far as panicking, breathing exercises do work, even if you think they don't.

You also need a strategy for test day to avoid these spirals. But you haven't done enough practice to be familiar enough with the content or point to specifics.

On S2 & S3 did you end up spending too much time on an early questions, not allowing the time needed for the more difficult ones? Sometimes you need to acknowledge when to abandon a question after you hit certain unsure markers, and when to skip on first glance to come back to later.

Stay committed and get June out of your mind.

You are too worried about test score. Be prepared to have collapses while training and poor results, but do not hold it against yourself. You need to value these mistakes are useful information to action on.

You need to spend more time studying, and more time breaking down your mistakes.

Also even if you got optimal 75% on LR the RC is very fragile, and a collapse like on S2 would pull you right back to 154-156.. I've lived it.

@DollyPstan We cannot improve on timing until it is done right first. It is better to focus on accuracy than timing, once we are able to be confident and accurate in our answers, then timing could be addressed.

On test day too it will not benefit to rush through easier question you could be getting right, to get stuck on more difficult questions that are harder to get correct.

This is still very early on in the course so I would not worry about timing. This is not the test environment, we want to spend more time with these questions to properly identify the context, premise, conclusion, to build the foundations.

The previous exercise had the answers for premise and conclusion colored with red or blue. Not sure why the formatting was not continued over here.

Can these be colored to match the theme from previous lessons?

The big throw off for me was in that last support stating "few people seek out news sources other than newpapers AND television"

If it had said OR I would have registered them as one or the other, however since the connecting word was AND I did not take them as being mutually exclusive acts.

They say that TV provides involvement, and newspapers provide in-depth.

The gap to me was that "appreciation of their significance" was not the same as depth of coverage. I wanted to anticipate an answer that pointed towards the gap that failed to define understanding.

We moved from 'in-depth' to 'understanding' without ever connecting those concepts. So were we supposed to assume that in-depth = understanding, plus that AND which includes both parties was intended to mean the exact opposite of AND

Wednesday, Apr 29

I was told don’t schedule the test until my prep test are in the range of my target.

Expect the test day result to be in the range of your recent prep tests.

Also consider June is the last date for remote testing before returning to in-person.
