I believe that there is nothing wrong with a courtesy scan of every answer choice. If you go into the answer choices with a pre-phrase and you see that A.C. then you may want to choose it quickly. However, to get to the correct A.C. many times, you still have to read them all. Just quickly read. Maybe practice that in your prep.

I have read and heard on different podcasts that taking on average 1 test a week is ample because if you are getting the most out of the review of that test afterwards it could take a day. I do think that drilling sections maybe 2 sections a day with thorough review is excellent. Then you'll have to do 1 timed test a week. What do you think about that, @.chaudhary?

Oh and please consider taking 1 full day off. Its good for your brain and there may be support that shows that you can retain more of what you learned with a day off.

Also, can you share any tips of doing really well on RC? I would appreciate that.

Perhaps 7sage can share this with the student body. Some may want to consider a tutor so that they can get their back to back questions answered. Tutoring is expensive though so maybe watching other classes will help (prerecorded on top of doing the curriculum/attending beginner classes)

Also, the teacher could also perhaps ask all students at the beginning of class to limit themselves to maybe 1 question so that each student can possibly get a question answered.

I think it also works well for any of us to check out the archived classes. I love those because I choose the speed of the class.

Good topic that hopefully will help all.

I went away from B because it was going beyond the argument. Does anyone know if we can go out of scope for weaken questions?? This question was all about what would happen if a track was built NOT what happened somewhere else where it wasn't.

#HELP ADMIN

Thank you!

I think with causal flaws check for causal language in the answer choice.

Can you share the PT’s and Q numbers please? Maybe that can help others see exactly how to answer. Thank you.

What a cool thread! Can 7sage bring this back? But where we send you the answers to the questions privately versus publicly? Thank you for considering!!

Old thread, but if we are believe that a high LSAT scorer (naturally) will automatically do well in law school...

Then it must be true that law school is exactly like the LSAT? I have heard differently. Is it so? I have heard that it is not.

Anyone want to shine light on this?

At least on law hub, you can choose to see the passage in its entirety and I believe that they are set up like the real test. Is that what you mean?

I am learning that it so VERY important to break down 1 paragraph at a time. I am also working on writing what I think the role for each paragraph is. Some passages ask that specific question and when I pre write it, it really helps. I am finally enjoying RC. Gotta break it down slowly and being ok not finishing the section but focusing on accuracy. The hopefully, by the test we can learn to speed up because we will be naturally comprehending quickly.

Do you believe that you will run out of practice tests if you use the newer ones? Your goal is October or January, so I am wondering if you review each test in a great way, that would probably take an entire day off and on. Then, perhaps the next days, you would be at drilling question types according to your weaker questions. Then drill entire LR sections. First untimed then timed to stretch yourself.

For RC, I had to work on MP questions. When i understand the main point then I can get other questions correct more often. Then I am drilling 1 passage at a time without the timer.

I have heard, read and believe that finishing the test is only great when your accuracy is at 100%. So I practicing now doing the first 15 questions in LR making sure I get them all correct, Then moving on to the rest unrushed. Depending on how many you are missing in LR, that may be the key.

Focus on accuracy over speed. When the timer flashes 5 min left, just fill out all your answers and hope to answer 1 or 2 by reading the whole stimulus if there is time.

I plan to do 1 RC passage a night as a drill to see how the writers think and ask questions then I should be able to absorb what they are asking for. How is your RC strategy?

You sound very dedicated and disciplined. Prayerfully, you will do quite well while revamping your study methods. I don't think that you will burn out of questions. The test is in about 8 weeks.

Are you scoring near your goal score? How many practice tests are you doing a week? I think 1 or 2 is enough with thorough review 1 question at a time. Then seeing where your weak points are and then drilling those question types. Then drill by section. Keep RC in the mix as well.

Can you also call LSAC and tell them the dilemma in case prometric either cannot fix it in time or get back to you in time? Wondering if they can offer good advice.

I do wish that there was a 1 question at a time possibility for drilling. If you do all MBT questions for example, and you answer them all with the same mindset you could be in trouble if that mindset was incorrect. If we drilled 1 question at a time, it could help us to KNOW that we are thinking of it correctly. Then I would move to drilling 5-10 questions in that same category then full sections with a mix of all the questions.

After getting this question wrong and reading through the comments for clarity, I am choosing to weaken the conclusion on any flaw question that I cannot figure out. Like other comments below, I was looking for the necessary/sufficient wording in the answer choice. But someone also pointed out that this is from an older test and I think that its possible that this particular flaw type of question would have the words, correlation and causation in the answer choice like the newer tests. This question was good to see and practice though in case its presented this way on test day.

yes, the find text has a box and you just type in what you are looking for.

Perhaps you can drill sections daily to build up what it will take to focus for 35 straight minutes. Then at one point, you may want to do 2 sections at a time without a break because that is what will be required on test day.

What is Link Assumption?

I have been enjoying the all about assumptions class taught by Julia. You should be able to do a search for her and that class ( I think that she teaches it often) under live classes.

She goes back and forth between Necessary Assumptions and Sufficient Assumptions. Although I am not sure if I am answering your question exactly but her class helps.

I read take for granted to say something like:

You think that I am supposed to already know that…

I did not diagram this but I hyper focused on the words " evidently believe". I immediately knew that the conclusion was jumping way too far without evidence. Took me a long while to later see that in answer choice A. Now, this is something that we can look out for if its on the exam.

took me so long. its important to remember what the premises said even as an inference. PPL. purchase these books knowing that they cannot attain what the books are offering. Answer choice A connect that.

for sufficient assumption, know why the author came to that conclusion by tying it in the premises. Then AGREE with the conclusion and find the answer choice that bridges the premise and conclusion gap!

So this argument is saying that they never had enough in the first place. E.

I chose B because of the words "no nation" being exactly how it was in the conclusion. Seemed like a new term which sometimes leads you directly to the correct answer choice. I also noticed that the stimulus showed that a nation would be in control permanently. So I was on the hunt to see if an A.C. would speak of temporary leadership. B speaks of that because other nations could join the power and if you can join, others can be relieved. I don't know if these methods or thoughts can always lead us to the correct answer but those were my two methods. It also took me a really long time getting to this correct choice although I figured it out pretty quickly. Next time, I will have to choose it and flag it in case I have time on the back end.

Are you willing to share how you are improving?

I think that if the question uses causal reasoning or conditional reasoning, negating dont work best with this Assumption question type. Ill have to look at your example question to test it out. great question though!
