Study tips / my experience from a 162 to 175 jump

  • Start studying for the LSAT part time (8+ hours a week) at least 8 months before the real test
  • Follow the LR-LG-RC order in studying 7sage’s curriculum (unless you know of a very strong personal reason not to)
  • Take all the time you need to master LR, but make sure you begin your RC study at least 3 months before the test. You need time to develop the ‘feel’
  • 2.5+ months of full time studying (35+ hours a week) before the test if you can afford it
  • 1.5+ month of full time prep test drilling before the real test if you can afford it. It's supposed to take 6+ hours to complete a prep test, do blind review, and then watch the explanation videos
  • Postpone the test if necessary, don't take it unprepared
  • Keep studying LR and RC until you have a clear intuition for finding the right answer choice. It’s about the feel, really
  • For LR and RC, be merciless with time. Force yourself to finish the section early despite less time for answering each question
  • For LG, go through 7sage’s curriculum, star all the questions/stems you find hard, and redo them again and again until you master them
  • Good luck!

    I figured it out. It's because just because nobody would accept such governmental intervention doesn't mean that the government would not be able to do such intervention.

    I wish there is a reason for E to be wrong.

    I think one can easily argue that AC B is the implied right answer for question 13 because the author talks extensively about how the ideal way of archiving things, namely to sort the essential out from all the records, is virtually impossible. AC B is not perfect, but neither is AC E anyway.

    Would someone explain to me why this argument is flawed? I get that it's ridiculous, but I can't understand why. Thanks. #help (Added by Admin)

    For question 14, D is the correct answer, not because D is the correct answer, but because the LSAC says D is the correct answer.

    For Q2, even if choice A says responsibilities to the society and to the client, E would have to be the right answer since it is necessary for the author to think E in order for the argument to stand. A (revised) would just be a sufficient assumption.

    I don't believe financial risk is a necessary condition for the argument to apply. C would work and is not the right answer only because B is a situation where the principle would be even more "usefully invoked."

    This is what I thought too. A large proportion does not mean a majority and the LSAC knows that. D is the right answer not because D is absolutely correct (it requires a loose interpretation of "large proportion"), but because A, B, C and E are all CBT.

    For example, there could be 249 correctly addressed and not damaged mail arriving in 2 days, no mail arriving between 2-3 days, and 11 correctly addressed but damaged mail plus 240 incorrectly addressed mail arriving in more than 3 days. In this case, even though there are 251/500 mail arriving in 3+ days in total, only 240/500 were incorrectly addressed. Not a majority, but a "large proportion."

    If the LSAC has considered retracting this question, it probably is a question that should be retracted.

    Another ridiculous question. B and C are logically on par because the LSAC fails to define both "maintenance" and "negligence." It has the obligation to accept both as correct.

    Seriously most test takers understood this passage entirely differently than LSAC, but guess what, LSAC wins, cause the LSAT is not a democracy.
