First off - holy crap, I got J.Y. AND Jonathan to respond! I feel blessed!

With that out of the way, thanks everyone for your pointers and words of encouragement.

A big part of the problem I've come to realize is that I enrolled in this course in early February thinking I would have adequate time to sufficiently study for the June LSAT. This caused me to haphazardly blow through some of the lessons, resulting in the material not really sinking in. I know, I fucked up big and now I'm paying for it (especially since I blatantly disregarded JY's advice to take a year to prep.) But now that I've decided to push back the LSAT to September, I'm going through some of the earlier lessons and it seems like things are finally starting to become clearer.

Again, thanks everyone for your replies. I really do appreciate it.

As the title says, I just completed all of the 7sage course lessons and took my first timed PT last week ago. I blind reviewed this PT as well. The timed and blind review scores came back the same as the cold diagnostic (about mid 140s and mid 150s respectively.) Needless to say I was pretty disappointed.

Today I tried to take another PT (62) but in the middle of it I blanked out. I started off strong with the RC section (mainly because it was topics with which I am familiar, or that I actually give a crap about), then I started gassing through the first LR section and by the time I got to LG (section 3) I completely lost motivation. By the second LR section I was running on fumes and I wasn't particularly confident in my answer choices. It didn't help that I was having issues with the proctor app which kept freezing on my phone, making me go over the allotted time. I'm feeling pretty discouraged at this time since its seeming like all this coursework was for naught. I also decided to scrap PT 62 entirely since I was feeling pretty disgusted with myself by the end of it.

I had originally planned to take the June LSAT but I don't think I'll have enough time between then and now to sufficiently address all of my issues so I'm likely going to reschedule to September.

So with all of that I could really use some pointers as to how to proceed with my studies. As JY mentioned in one of his blog posts, there are only a limited number of PTs available and I want to make the most efficient use of them so that I don't fuck it up for myself come October.

Edit: Sorry, I meant to say that ideally I'd like to correct some of the mistakes I'm making, whether it be from not getting mentally fatigued so quickly to working on weak spots before I resume PTing.

I am currently going through the starter course myself. I think JY mentioned elsewhere that the only difference between the three is that you get more problem sets (which come from PrepTests 29 through 38) and access to more PrepTests with the premium and the ultimate. Other than that, access to all the lesson materials remains the same.

I had already purchased The Next 10 Actual Official PrepTests book from Amazon prior to enrolling here and being that I have access to most of the other LSAT PrepTests I opted for the starter.

According to one of the comments in the video lessons, Introduction to Logic by Harry Gensler is supposed to be good.

Is the principle in the stimulus written as an embedded conditional, or could it be diagrammed as such? I diagrammed it as follows:

IDAO = identify description as opinion, DAMB = deliberate attempt to mislead bidders, M = guilty of misrepresentation

IDAO → (DAMB → M)

IDAO & DAMB → M

Since the application in the principle gives us IDAO → M, we just need to find something that says that Healy's deliberately attempted to mislead others, which E does quite nicely (relative to the other answer choices, anyway.)

Confirm action

Are you sure?
