Self-study
Taking the LSAT for the first time this coming Friday. Started my journey with 7sage around mid-May with a 141 diagnostic score on the June 2007 PT. Today I took PT93 on LawHub and got a 171, my highest score yet. Regardless of how Friday goes, just wanted to give a big thank you to the whole 7sage team for helping me with this 30-point increase!
This analogy may help: think of a big circle with a smaller circle occupying a subset in the big circle. Take the big circle to be all mammals and the smaller circle to be all cats. We see here that to be a cat it is necessary for you to be a mammal because if you are in the smaller circle, you are surely in the big circle. In the same vein, if you are not a mammal you are not a cat. However, just being a mammal is not sufficient for being a cat. The smaller circle of cats is only a subset in the big circle, and you can be a mammal and not a cat (for example a dog). Hope this helps.
