For LG vid pages, is there a way I can have my default player be the 7Sage one? Youtube's max playback speed isn't fast enough and doesn't have useful question markers.

The logic games explanations are on Youtube, so their speed can be changed with Youtube shortcuts. Are there speed shortcuts for the 7Sage player?

Any tips? My most recent exam was 169 w/ 179 BR. I got 2 wrong on the RC, 4 wrong each on two LR sections,... and a TON wrong on the logic games.

How did you break 170?

I'm not sure what to search to find the answer to this, but I was curious how question and passage difficulty were determined by 7Sage? Is it by the percentage of people who answer correctly?

I make a bubbling error nearly every practice test. In fact, I can't recall, the last time I have not made a bubbling error. I record my answers on the Analytics page as they are on the Scantron because I will likely perform on the real test as I do on practice tests (as I have already learned from taking a real test and making a Scantron error). This way, my score reflects not which answers I circle in the booklet, but which answers I successfully record on the Scantron and are ultimately used in my real score.

How do you score PT bubbling errors (if you make any at all... if that's the case, please share your bubble mojo)?

A note, I bubble and double-check after every game, after every RC section, and once before turning the page in an LR section. I'm thinking of changing my strategy, as it's clearly not working for me.

Can someone explain 29/4/5? (B) seems like it has the relationship backwards. In order for it to be the correct answer, shouldn’t it say that mainstream opinions are generally in the bland and innocuous ones? Because the other way around tells me nothing of what the mainstream opinion is likely composed. For all we know, the mainstream opinion is mostly composed of striking, insidious views. This is consistent with bland and innocuous opinions being generally in the mainstream– these opinions may compose a very small portion of the mainstream opinion.

Even with the negation test, I cannot understand this answer. So what if bland, innocuous opinions are NOT generally in the mainstream? What if they are generally in the violent anarchist view? That tells me nothing about how much of the mainstream is composed of bland and innocuous opinions. It could still be the case that mainstream opinions are composed ENTIRELY of bland and innocuous opinions.

I have never felt this frustrated with a questioN!!

I chose (E) because if we negate this, then surely, the argument that the opinions on television are the result of market forces comes into question. Of course, who knows, maybe the executives’ opinions just happen to be reflected in market-directed opinions, but considering how much weaker (B) is, I chose (E).

What am I doing wrong?

Hey, I have LSAT Ultimate. Are some of the lessons locked for you guys? I thought this course path included everything.

http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-24-section-2-question-17/

This question was very confusing to me because I couldn't understand what assumption they could possibly be making.

I originally chose E. On BR, I chose E again. I chose E because of the statement "no nation should be required to assume the burden of enforcing a decision it found repugnant", so I thought the Council must have assumed E, "decisions reached by a majority of nations in response to threats to world peace would be biased in favor of one or more major powers." Because then there would always be a world power who didn't find some particular decision repugnant to enforce that decision.

But the correct answer is B. Of course, after learning the answer, I could make an explanation for why it worked: if there's a newcomer in the world powers club, then the burden of maintaining world peace would no longer rest on the world's major powers (only some of them), which goes against the intentions of the Council.

I'm still unsteady on this question.

Hi. I've been studying independently for a retake in June 2017. I may take it sooner but that's my target date for now. I haven't been able to find a consistent study buddy/group through the 7Sage Study Buddy feature, so I'm posting here to reach more people. I'm from the northwest Chicago suburban area.

I'd prefer to meet in person at a minimum of once every other week with online communication in between, but I'm open to meeting 100% online, particularly if we are otherwise a good fit. My diagnostic was a 157. My actual score was a 162. I'm looking for buddies who are scoring 160+ and are aiming for 170+. Though my actual test says otherwise, throughout my PTs, my weakest section has been LG and my strongest RC. I'd like to study with others who complement my abilities and those who are similar to me. I want to take timed five-section exams with my buddy/group in person or online, BR independently, and then discuss together. It does not matter to me when you'll be taking the exam although if you are planning to take it far earlier or later than I am, we may have pacing issues.

Leave a response if you're interested in being buddies or forming a group. Thanks!

A while back, I posted about how I was severely struggling with logic games. I took about three weeks to do straight logic games every day for hours. All of the logic games I've seen, I can do perfectly now and I can handle every type.

I took a PT today, and I did better than I usually do on logic games. But I noticed some serious issues I had while taking this section. I fumbled a lot. Even knowing that I've seen games like these hundreds of times, I still could not concentrate. If the prompt was to draw 7 slots, I would draw 7 for my master board and then draw 6 each time I had to redraw the game board. I would bunch up all my writing absurdly small in one corner (I never do this during drills). I don't erase any more on my drills, and if I do, I redo the drill until I am no longer erasing. But on actual PTs, I erase and erase and erase because I'm making so many tiny errors.

What can I do? I want to snap out of silly mistakes. Today, I thought I was being extra careful, since I know my weaknesses, but once I drew everything out, I would not notice that I had made a fatal error in diagramming until I discovered an inference through a question.

Even if I read slowly and re-read, my nerves seem to make the words change shape before my eyes... It's like the directions appear so clear and bold and only later do I see that I had fooled myself.

About a month ago, a user posted that they had scored in the high 170s on a fresh PT. Their method of studying was to take and retake a group of modern PTs. Does anyone know where I can find this post and/or can you tell me what the benefits of retaking PTs are? I have simply been taking new PTs.

I made a Scantron mistake that led to me to correct about 4 pages worth of LR answers. I didn't have time to erase very thoroughly and make strong, new marks, but I was able to erase and make new marks... How sensitive is the Scantron? Can it tell the difference between old and new marks if the old marks were erased but not very well erased?

I have been studying for the LSAT for MONTHS... almost a year. In that time, all of my sections have improved except for Logic Games. I average about a 68% correct on this section. I have used the Foolproof Method for all of the practice tests I've taken. I drill and drill until I can do each game perfectly. But as soon as I get to a new PT, I freeze up. I usually only have time for the first and second game... and if I'm really stuck, I'll only have time for the first game. Another common fate: I finish the first and second games in good time. And then I get stuck on 3 and 4, and get flustered and read everything wrong and end up guessing for the last two games. It's really, really bad. If the first game is usually the easiest and I'm stuck on it... I clearly have serious issues.

I really do not know what more I can do. I am signed up for the test in October and I'm getting nervous. I just don't know what to do. This is apparently the easiest section for most people to improve in, and the easiest one to get -0 on, so... what's wrong with me? What am I doing wrong? I can't seem to take the things I learned from my drills and apply them. Even if I remember the answer in a drill, I still practice as if I don't, going through the thinking process of elimination and selection. I'll pull out entire game sections from a month ago, and still be able to do the old ones perfectly. I just can't do any new ones.

I'm so stuck :(.

Let's help each other?

Hi, all. I just took the 10/3 LSAT. I was expecting to take the test in a particular classroom, Classroom A, that I am very familiar with. The testing center was changed to a new classroom last week, Classroom B. For the test today, though, I was assigned to a completely different room, Classroom C, than the one stated on the ticket I printed last night, albeit it was in the same building. I didn't realize that changing the room on the day of the exam was possible. Is this something I should just expect?

Additionally, the room I took the test in had really small desks. Really small. So small that the proctor even mentioned it. It is entirely my fault that I never once took a test on such a small desk. I don't have consistent access to one and Classroom A and B (where I thought I was taking the test) have large desks. I had a difficult time figuring out where to put my pencils, watch, answer sheet, and eraser. In the middle of the exam, some of my things fell off the desk. I was debating whether I should scramble to retrieve my things... and considering that one of those things was my watch, I went for it...

Do you have any specific advice about how I should position my papers and belongings on a small desk (I'm talking about one of those flip-up desks connected to a chair)? I usually have the practice test booklet laid flat so that I can see both pages-- should I fold the pages back so that I see only one page? That seems like an irrelevant limitation to what the test is supposed to measure. Also, because I did not practice on a small desk beforehand, I had to figure out the best place to put the answer sheet during the exam-- is it better to put it in your lap? Hold it in your non-dominant hand? Place it under the test booklet? I was nervous about putting it under the test booklet because I annotate the test and didn't want pressure to transfer to the Scantron. I'm prone to making Scantron errors so it's important to me that I fill in blocks of answers after every 2 pages or every logic game, but with a small desk, it was a huge waste of time to retrieve the answer sheet from where I had it (non-dominant hand, lap, underneath the booklet) after each of these blocks. Also, I had to hold some of my pencils between my knees under the desk because there was just no space on the desk. This is something I really need to be prepared for and would like serious advice as it is a huge issue for me.

I'm also curious about what your testing center was like. The June test-takers at my school said that the desks they had last time were huge (I know which ones they are talking about).

Finally. Thank you based logic games lessons.

And other lessons but seriously... I was posting here a month ago fretting about how bad my logic games score was (averaging -12). I'm now averaging (-3).

GAH! Really happy right now.
