For answer A: I felt that, it does not address the motives of the society/market. Who cares if they cannot address all of the problems at once?

B: This strengthens the argument. Another reason why the market will in fact be efficient. But we are trying to find reasons why the market might choose to be inefficient (for personal frugality), therefore not being the best option for decisions on efficiency.

C: Who cares?

D: This actually strengthens the argument. It offers another reason why the market makes good decisions for the societies energy.

E. Of Course! This addresses the assumption made here--of course the market is a bad decision maker when it comes to helping society. Any business is going to make decisions that benefit itself. They will make decisions that save money if it does not directly effect the product negatively, but may result in an increase in prices later on for the customer. Just like the landlord who decides to get a toaster that is less energy efficient because it saves them $20. They are not paying the energy bills..

Just do it. You will thank me later. Seriously, these Blind Review sessions have been so beneficial for me! It was the first time I joined a Live Blind Review group on 7Sage (after studying for almost five months) and I wish I would have done this earlier. So, take my advice, go to the next session and learn from the master himself! Working with JY in real time over LR and RC sections sharpens your strategies and solidifies what you have already learned. It gave me just the boost of confidence I needed before the Dec LSAT.

Thanks so much for your time JY!

@ For LR sections: I would BR first and circle the questions that you are still unsure about. You will be able to talk about these in the session. Then maybe think of questions you may have regarding strategies, timing, or question types beforehand...there will be time for questions throughout. For RC: I would BR first as well and pick 2 passages you would like to go over the most. There may only be time for one or two passages. Hope that helps!

Keyword Search

I noticed that at the bottom of LG questions there are keywords... can we search for these keywords?

For example, I want to work on games that have the But not Both rule... and that is a keyword that is highlighted. Is it possible to search for that?

@ that is very helpful! Thanks! I have been reading the LSAT trainer to brush up on his flaw exercises...your comment reassured me that I am on the right track. It is becoming easier when I think of the assumption as a flaw first--it becomes clearer I think.

Thanks everyone for your help! This is such a helpful community!

1. My name is Hannah. I was raised in a great family, with supportive parents and siblings. My main challenges and successes have come through my experience as a pastor’s kid. Since then, I received a degree in ancient languages and biblical literature and have worked for a non-profit organization.

2. My biggest concern is that I will be able to express myself fully in a short and strategic way on my Personal Statement and Application.

3. Statement ideas: 1. About 20 years ago, my father reconnected with our Jewish family in Israel, after being estranged for years. Since his grandmother converted to Christianity, all ties were severed. My childhood dream was to find them and mend the relationship as well. I studied Hebrew for four years and prepared for the trip. Then when I was 20, I spent a month in Israel and met my cousins and aunts. I learned about the power of love that speaks universally across different cultures and belief systems.

2. It can be tough working hard for your own dreams, let alone working for dreams that are not your own. I have learned that serving the dream of my parents, at their church, has actually brought me more satisfaction and growth than I could ever imagine. Although I did not see it initially, I learned the lessons of hard work, selflessness, and the importance of relationships. In the end, working with my parents gave me invaluable lessons for my future.

4. Yes, I attended the webinar, but was not reached.

Identifying Assumptions

Most LR questions have a missing assumption and I think that is where I am having trouble. Sometimes the assumptions are very fuzzy to me...it's like I have an idea of what is missing but I can't put my finger on it. It has been frustrating! But I am glad that I am figuring out what I am needing to work on.

What is your suggestion of improvement for identifying assumptions?

Thanks @ that is a better approach for sure! I think you are right about the time-sinkers. If I can just skip the question that takes forever...instead of aiming to miss a whole passage, I will be in much better shape.

Thanks @! Yes...you are definitely right. Haha I have been trying to understand all the details (especially tying them all together) and focusing passage meaning more than just getting the big picture. I just watched Nicole Hopkins' Webinar about RC and she said the same thing... That really helps though. I just need to cut my reading time in half and give more time to understanding questions, that way I don't make careless mistakes. Thanks for the example too, that helps a lot!

I appreciate the help,

RC- HELP!

For reading comp. I have had a really hard time cutting down my time less than 6:30 mins per passage and 5 mins per section of questions. When I shorten my time, I rush through the questions and miss it because of a simple misread. Would it be better to slow down and just skip the last passage in order to get more answers correct??

@ --Your experience with RC is the same as mine! I HATED underlining and circling stuff.. It was way too complicated and distracting. I am glad to see how you fixed it though-- I think I will incorporate the 2 second re-read after each paragraph too! Good idea..

Thanks everyone! This is SOO helpful! @ I love the idea of using the stopwatch with the loops..smart!!

@ Divine-- Good point! Looking back over the fundamentals is helping me so much already! I guess I did not realize I was getting rusty on conditional logic..

I appreciate your strategies and personal stories guys.. It helps knowing I am not the only one pushing past the LG mountain;)

Logic Game Strategies Anyone?

I need some advice..

I have been studying for 4 months and my scores are going up (thanks 7 sage!) One area I know I can improve on is LG... I have an average of -9 on my LG PTs..so I can definitely get extra points in this area.

I have spent countless hours going over games in the early 30s-70s. I have practiced timing myself for full sections, single games, and I have practiced without a time constraint.

I have been using a strategy that a 7-sager suggested- with an excel doc recording each PT Game I have done with the date, time and score. I expected the mass of games that I studied to help with fresh PTs, but I still feel rushed under time constraint (often leaving several questions unfinished). I have definitely made a lot of improvement and going over the games has increased my confidence, but what type of prep will increase speed??

Thanks 7-sagers you are the best!!!

LSAT LR Lingo:)

Hey guys! I hope your study is going well... I just have a few questions you may be able to help with:)

I have been a bit confused on the exact definition of a few common words that continue to appear on LR Answer Choices. For example, "It qualifies the conclusion of the argument." I have always thought that to qualify something, you make it more relevant, or more suitable. Or to be eligible for something. Is this what the LSAT writer means as well?

And another, "Takes for granted that there are only two possible alternative explanations." Does this mean that, the argument assumes that there are only two explanations, without supporting with evidence?

And lastly, is there a difference between "Phenomenon and Correlation?" JY's lesson explains that Correlation includes two events happening concurrently but many answer choices use the word, "Phenomenon" in a confusing way. They use it when the stimulus seems only to address simply a causation/correlation event.

I am sure there is some document out there that defines the LSAT's common words..if so, I would LOVE to see that:D

Thank you all for the help!!

I had the same issue. I called them (before the deadline) and they told me to upload it from Firefox instead of Safari (since I use a Mac). There have been issues with non-PC users.

It may have also been because your photo was taken with a digital camera, which cuts off the edges horizontally. That was initially an issue for me, so I used my IPhone to get a better picture.

But @, I would try to call tomorrow. The first time I called, the representative checked my photo and although I had white space he said it was acceptable still. Even though he said it would be fine, I tried uploading it again with Firefox and it worked great:) I hope that helps!!
