Well, I got +2 on my actual LSAT on december. Sometimes, we are super pumped and the adrenaline can help.
http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-69-section-4-question-08/
I picked D, which is wrong, and I kind of knew it would. I could not pick C because the it did not translate to what I needed.
Incompetent----> Does not complete
CP Completes ------> Not incompetent.
But the problem for me here was that not incompetent does not( according to our negation lessons) equal competent right?
My jaw is beginning to lock also... Dam stress.
Does anybody have neck pain from all this studying and test taking? My neck is killing me today! Any advice?
For me D was wrong because it makes a statement about "any" student were the conclusion of the argument make a statement about "over all". Thus we do not need it to be be true that "any" student would not improve.
For some reason I thought this was a SA question given the word assume.
I think it is useful not for you to tell time during an exam, as it does not have enormous advantages than a regular watch, but rather it is useful to keep you interested with new things, new ideas, new strategies. This test can get boring after several months of studying, and if a new watch picks up your energy, then why not.
if you want to review tonight shoot me a message...
I have noticed in passages where the author expresses a strong opinion and even a conclusion, the MP answer must include the authors conclusion. Is this right?
I have been drilling games for months now, using the fool proof method. My score was beginning to increase (last pretest I got 14 correct in the games section) I just took pretest 61 and absolutely did horrible in the section. I froze, was unable to see inferences, and only got 9 questions right! Also, my RC score, usually 19, dropped to 14. The RC section seamed harder than usual. My LR sections greatly increased ( think this is because I took this test 6 months ago. Overall I got 155 with an aim of getting 160 this june! I need to improve my LG, I think thats the way to secure the 160. Any tips? Should I drill full sections? I think my weakness is when I do sections not individual games. Please help. I need to develop a study strategy for this last month that does not kill my mood. I usually tend to freak out and drill like crazy and end up burning out. I am so close to the 160...Is RC harder for the recent lsat's?
This has been my section distribution:
PT 55 PT 56 PT 61
RC 19 , 19, 16
LR 20,16, 22
LR 15, 15, 19
LG 9, 13, 9
152, 153, 155
Hello fellow 7sagers!
I would like to organize a group prep test. Basically, get together in a quite area and take the test as a group to simulate testing conditions.
If anybody is interested let me know ASAP so I can begin looking for a good place.
Thanks!
It is not that they are hard, they are just taking over 13 minutes to complete.
Yeah, its just I am having a hard time finding inferences at the start....
I am paying a tutor for help in grouping games, can anyone help me out throughout Skype? I am really low in cash and will be taking a hard hit financially to pay for this two hour tutoring session($120). I need help with In/out games...
Thanks for the great encouragement joegotbored!
Hello fellow LSAT warriors!
I began to notice that I got really good at LR but my confidence was not reflecting during timed conditions. Today I took two LR sections from PT 47 using two different strategies. The first, I took my time with each question until I was very sure, rarely skipping! I only got 14 our of 26 correct!!!! I attempted 19 Questions.
In the second LR I tried to be very fast. I read the stimulus, and once I saw what I thought was the right answer I quickly moved on(this was very hard for me because there is always that voice in the back saying what if you mis read, this feels to easy). Second, If a question seemed to convoluted or complex, I skipped, even if it was a question in the first 10 Q. In this section I got 19 out of 26!!! I attempted 20 questions. I got lucky once!
In summary I think moving fast, in the sense that you quickly pick you answer, and if you hesitate ask your self if this is a question that you can understand in the next minute, if not pick you best answer and move, if yes, re read the stimulus briefly and make the best choice!
What do you all think? I think my mistake was doubting my self and that was causing valuable time spent in a questing that I was still going to get wrong!
I have noticed that the reason why I cannot increase from mid 150's to 160's is that I suck at gouging games! Do you think that if I do nothing but grouping games for an entire week my LR and RC score might drop?
First, understand that you are not trying to "attack" necessary assumptions. Rather we are trying to find an answer that if true would allow the argument to continue "living". Without that answer choice being true, our premises are no longer enough to make our conclusion true. Example: I am the smart because I read the economist. Premise: I read the economist. Conclusion: I am smart. If I wish for my argument to continue "living" I has to be true that only smart people read that economist. If I say not only smart people read the economist, your argument could potentially die because now(under the assumption we just made) there could be dumb people who read the economist too. Get it?
Lewis, for reading comprehension retaking would not be a good use of your time. First, you already understand the structure of the passage and that would probably make you take the section with an added benefit that you will not have in the real LSAT. We retake logic games over and over in order to imbed inferences into our brains, so than when we see a similar games we area able to identify possible scenarios and quickly identify them and move on.
@laestelle2009241: I agree! wow. I feel like copying and pasting that comments and posting it in my study area.
Given that I have completed 7sage once before, this time around I brushed through it quickly. I am not starting to focus on section drilling. Do you think this is the right approach?
Shirin.Mankomova thank you so much. Your post actually made me lough out loud! I will begin doing that tomorrow.
Why dark chocolate?
Thanks for the help. I just drank some fish oil caps...
@gisselleyw863-that make great sense! I will have to think of something I really want, I think this should do the trick!
No, my account has release date for July 3rd.
