Some disagreement/agreement PAI questions are like most strongly supported. They will say something like "...they are committed to the truth of..." So based off of what they say supports the truth of an answer choice. Raphaela's statement "No government has the right to distribute resources via taxation" This statement covers all and every government regardless of any conditions that might lesson the impact of taxation. Such as governments that provide free health care, free energy, food and so forth. In this case, it was the condition of emigration. Raphaela says No and Edward says yes. The take-away is be on the lookout at this specific sub-type of disagreement/agreement question where it's the truth of or committed to type asked in the prompt/stem.

I drew barely filled in circles to finally see this but for completely hypothetical purposes I’ll use numbers here to explain how A is right—I was lost as well.

Imagine antihistamine has an understanding of 23/100, still far from 100/100 clear.

Most new drugs are less understood: drug 1 5/100, drug 2 11/100, drug 3, 1/100 and so forth.

Premise: antihistamine is far from a clear understanding! 23/100

Answer choice A: and antihistamine is much better understood than most new drugs being tested!

conclusion: it is clear…we need to slow down on releasing these new drugs that we have a worse understanding of.

is there a broad target date to implement single section options?

I was wondering if i was doing a timed section/full test if whether it makes sense to bubble now, given the changes in Fall 2019.

If am i taking in the digital era and its a simple click, should i just circle my selection now and tally it up afterward (post blind-review circle).

It is always preached to mimic test-day like conditions and i think this new way of just circling is better than bubbling.

i hope they release a demo at least of how to it will play out, using say the june 2007 test. So people can practice this new way.

updated:

"Additional practice materials for use specifically on tablets are also forthcoming." (https://www.lsac.org/about/news/lsac-announces-digital-lsat-launch-schedule)

Please 7sage help us develop strategies in this new era! I postponed my take for after i finish school in 2019 and this changeover runs right in line with the dates i was going to take (Nov 2019/Jan 2020). I do think this will be an easier time (removing the bubbling in), but the Logic Games section is what i would most be interested in seeing how it operates, and as long as it it similar to having us have the same freedoms to find the answers i would be ok. all in all simply clicking a button rather than bubbling saves 3 minutes.

also i guess if im prepping now i don't bubble anymore i should just circle my answer and move on.

@gutierrezm49586 last year i wanted a centre down from my street for a September take, it was full 3 full months before the actual test (end of may or same time as now).

-If its a popular one it will fill up fast. and you don't want to travel far (toronto to Hamilton). One of my friends had to go from toronto to Guelph.

I am an e-book person. i Like being able to read things on desktop, laptop, tablet, smartphone.

book (carry around)

hold up. (unless you get a book holder thing, really helpful)

can strain neck staring down.

I don't mind either but if i had to choose, it would be E-book, I have 27" dual monitors that i can rotate for vertical reading as well, maybe that is why.

But seriously in terms of convenience E-book are easily accessible.

If there was not an E-book for undergrad i would rent the class textbook and just take pictures of the entire book and upload them to onedrive. I was like $200 textbook or take pictures for 40 minutes...

try to do them until you hit the time and -0, then do it again later (a week, 2 weeks). Save the ones you know you know gave you trouble and always kind of return to them, after a while.

Western i believe for their access is 155 and up, and your within their GPA range. Queen's average went up from the year before. Previous years the average was 154 LSAT, where now is 160.

U of T and Osgoode i think you need 170...

I agree with what you’re saying about not requiring as high of an LSAT in Canada. Mid 160s is usually enough; however, I disagree with requiring a 170 for Osgoode or U of T. Osgoode’s medians have always been around the 80th percentile. And U of T’s 75th percentile has been around 166-167.

I was speaking to the context of his/her situation he/she is on the lower end of the GPA. I think if you're below the 75th in GPA then you have to compensate.

@a342

there is no timer, but in the question bank they are rated by difficulty

easy

** easier

*** medium

**** harder

***** hardest

1 and 2 stars should be 30 seconds. 1st pass through and you have the answer.

*** - i think generally you want it answerered between a minute to minute 20 (1-1:20)

4 and 5 and up - have strong referential phrasing and tough to eliminate answer choices.

If you can answer them under the 1 minute and 20 seconds that is great. But typically i think high scorers are able to bank time and save them for the end of a section because they skip them.

There is a webinar on this: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/

What I did was when i went through drilling i grouped sub-types of the questions for later reference and saved and documented incorrect selections for continued review.

For example with sub-types

Flaws- i stored all the common flaws together (causation/correlation, confusing necessary for sufficiency, equivocation,)

Weaken - Causation

MBT - the different types of formulas and use of logical indicators (unless/ without)

while timing is important, accuracy is as well. Try some untimed before moving to timed, unless you are already at a point where you are excellent at all question types. But at this point you should be applying the strategies you have learned to each question type and seeing if you are able get them right. Basically gauge to see how well you do on a couple untimed. If you find you are missing, then keep drilling. If it is becoming easy maybe add a timer.
