Thanks @lpadr009465 .. and @barneet56557 EXACTLY...... at this point, I am telling my self, I KNOW this. Trying to really lock it down so that I can't catch any blatant errors in the BR portion...Nothing we haven't seen, yet (esp in terms of LR).

1. Love that the video is three hours long.

2. Exercise! It's like taking a nap that you feel less guilty about :-)

3. Dance break between reviewing sections!

@2543.janson35 and @2543.hopkins yessssss. I keep dreaming of test day. I have this deep feeling in my stomach that actual test day may be nothing like my prep leading up to it! I need to stop being so down on myself...

I feel like I've lost a bit of my life to this test prep, no regrets though - couldn't have improved my score 20+ points without 7sage.

Now I just have to convince myself that I KNOW this, and test day will be no different than any other day I am prepping.

Freedom. So. Close.

@harrismegan369 yeah I think I might be psyching myself out, I guess the process for me was just sudden, and contrary to what I normally read on these discussion boards... that and the added stress of October 3rd.. holy moly. I need to just keep doing what I am doing and I guess not worry about what the normal experience is/should be.

I don't know!!! Well, obviously 7sage. I've been studying for 10 months now. Entire curriculum + watched every video for every LR question I have not understood. Currently at PT61. Saved old PTs and reviewing the questions I had difficulty with (sometimes re-watching videos again)... then I just noticed I was averaging -2/-3 for LR... that never happened for me...EVER! Now I am doing it consistently....

I did 1-35 LG 2x each through, then again a month later.. then completed 35-45, and have realized I have not needed help in diagramming / understanding 46 LG and beyond.. although I will check the videos if I feel like I took too much time doing it..

With that being said, I have this dark pit at the bottom of my stomach that I am going to totally fuck this up on actual test date. Is this a fluke? I hate feeling like this.

I had originally scheduled to take the LSAT in June... one week before my wedding.. Nuts! I am so happy I postponed. Anyways, I also work full time and have a similar schedule, but I will say rest your brain.. I always try to be super aware as I am studying at night, and once I keep re-reading things, and making really stupid mistakes, I will usually stop studying. I think at this point with two weeks out, the last thing you want to do is feel so burnt out that your brain just wants to quickly finish things without really comprehending what it's doing...

I really believe a good hour is better than 3 bad hours... I get to work an hour early, do a LR section. At lunch, do a LG section.. then after work BR them so I am not trying to take sections + BR in one sitting after work.. and it helps me have a fresh eye for the BR.

1

Anyone else feel like when it clicks, it keeps clicking? I always told myself how randomly I would score on sections, but I am realizing it was because I didn't really have a deep, clear knowledge of the games + LR sets...

Then I went from maybe -7 on LR... to -2/-3.. thought it was a fluke.. then have consistently scored -2/-3 for the last 5 LR sections I have taken... and the same for LG... -1/-2 total out of a whole section... 10 months ago, I used to get 2 games out of 4, and hover around -10 on LR sections...

I am interested to know have people experienced like a point in time where one PT they are all of a sudden scoring at a way higher range, and consistently after? How do you know it's not a fluke! How do I sustain it, keep improving till October LSAT?

Don't lose hope! LG was never a strong point for me! I second @974 ! Do 1-35, print out at least two copies per game.. print more, until you can do them correctly without watching the videos..

I did 1-35 once (had to watch videos for every other game!) right before the June LSAT, ended up postponing the exam. In prep for Oct LSAT, I recently did 1-35 again (mostly WITHOUT videos & without having memorized answers).. amazing how much faster I was at making inferences between rules / diagramming!

Now I am going through PT's.. and I am really amazed and in shock with how I don't need to watch any of the videos anymore unless I feel like I didn't make all the necessary inferences to get through the games faster.

I printed 2 sets of 1-35, finished them in prep for the June LSAT, ended up postponing it.. and I recently printed and completed the 2 sets of 1-35 and was super amazed by how much I actually learned.. I didn't memorize any answers, but I had really built the intuition to make inferences... There were games that I remember watching the videos for over and over again, and it never really stuck. This second round of 1-35 flew by much faster, and I rarely had to refer to the videos -- just to check that I was correctly diagramming, and understand the occasional, but RARE, wrong answer!

Now I am going through LG, and pretty much flying through them with pretty high accuracy. KEEP working on it, this was never a strong point of mine!

The reason why C is correct is because the question is incorrectly implying that the average frequency impacts the predicted occurrence of an event. Just because on average something happens once every 100 million years, you might have crazy outliers that bring the overall average down to 100 million years --> which still doesn't mean that if 100 million years has passed, that the event is likely to occur...

The argument incorrectly assumes that the meteor strike is likely to hit in the near future; thus, C correctly identifies that error.

That is precisely how it matches the argument in the question. We don't know if the terraces were built to help soil erosion.. just like we don't know if the medication is taken to fall asleep.

Discussion for new LR lesson sets?

@"Alan Cheuk"

YAY to collapsing lessons! Foot in the door phenomenon, I hope it's a real thing...

Regarding the questions for there are not yet explanations for, in the new test sets, I know we have the option to click discuss, which opens up the option to start a blank new discussion on it... but if the video could open up to a separate page, so we can discuss the question below the video? In its current state, we have to open up a new discussion, then cite to the test/question # (and depending on how motivated we are, type out the question again) but it would be nice if we could post our questions/observations/thoughts right on the same page below the displayed question?

I don't know if this interferes with new LSAC licensing requirements.. but thought it was worth asking anyways?

option to minimize, stay minimized?

@"Alan Cheuk" is there any way for the option to minimize topics stay minimized, even if we go to a different page and back to the course? i thought it didn't save between different computers, and am now realizing going back and forth pages will remove all the clicking i did to minimize topics?

C is compatible with the stimulus because it is related to an adverse reaction in multiple sclerosis patients.... therefore, it is definitely likely that the gamma interferon level before/during attacks would skyrocket.

A is the correct answer because if it did in fact stop white blood cells from producing myelin-destroying compounds, then it would have contradicted the stimulus' discussing the adverse effects of the testing of gamma interferon.

The welfare state will not work is cemented by the last sentence, "but people are innately selfish" , which the unselfish attitude is required for the welfare state to work (2nd sentence). So you negate the necessary unselfish attitude, which results in welfare state can't work.

It is the conclusion because the rest of the paragraph is additional support as to why one should vote in a democracy. If you parse it out and draw lines from premises --> conclusion, it's easier to see how it flows; wouldn't make so sense having the lines go in opposite direction.

Peter, it might be easier if you go about eliminating wrong answers.... The gist of the stimulus, judges are no different from people who think they are being wise, but are rather irrational/arbitrary. Therefore, mandatory minimum sentences are necessary for judges. E is the only one that confirmed by the stimulus. All of the answer choices, you have to go above and beyond to justify beyond what's provided in the stimulus.

Also super easy way to eliminate B, nothing about Anna's argument is what we SHOULD do. It only has to do disagreeing with Tony that it does not make $$ sense to switch to cheaper cassettes.

I get what you mean, but B seems pretty obvious once you eliminate all the wrong answers... You can more quickly/easily designate wrong answers! I find that to be true with most MC questions.

It helps, but there's not always enough time... I try to use abstractions on science-based passages, to understand concepts that don't come so easily to me. I would say that out of 25, I might have to use an abstraction 3 times, at most? I guess it just depends on how abstract the passage is to you.

The main conclusion is that less estrogen, not longer lives is the reason why women have higher rates of alzheimers. Answer choice D is additional support to the argument.
