@tekken1225189 i dont get this. there is a winner. the winner is still the dealership because it is less expensive overall... help
I was between C and D but ultimately chose C. I eliminated D because it doesn't need to be the case that by itself, each story is not "completely" consistent. Let's say they're 1% different...that's not doing anything to weaken the argument.
I am so bad at these. I am good at LR except for flaw and one other question type. I just can't figure it out. Sometimes I'll find a gap but it isn't the right one. Other times the answer choices are too subtle or I find multiple ones correct. Sometimes I don't see how the answer is really a flaw. I need a way to reframe these/think about them correctly.
@NatMan maybe a few times it'll be because of the stem. other times i guess i'll just pick an answer i think is good and so i'll move on but then because it's flagged and ik i got it wrong i'll go over it slowly and realize the answer i picked wasn't the right one.
for example one time i got a necessary assumption wrong and i reread it and realized the stim said smth that totally pointed to the correct answer but i didnt see it
another time i read the stim but nothing jumped out at me and i just picked the right answer. only when i compared my initial take to br did i realize i picked the wrong answer and i was mind blown
@cattail8148 I agree. it's also very variable. sometimes mine will be high and other times so low that i'd never get that score on a pt unless i guessed on everything. also, it will show up for something as short as a 5 question drill which is a heavily unrepresented sample!
Hello everyone, I hope your studies are going well! I have been consistently PTing at a 168 average recently, and I just know I have the potential to hit a 170+. My BR proves this. I noticed that there are questions that I will get wrong on LR, but during BR, I'll immediately choose the right answer, even going as far as thinking that the answer is obvious. I don't know how it flies over my head during the actual test, and this happens for at least 3 questions every exam. Those 3 questions could push me to the 170s. Sometimes these questions are flagged and sometimes they're not. Regardless, somehow I'll totally miss the obviousness of the right answer. I've been trying to focus more on that mistake but I'm not getting anywhere. Does anyone have advice?
Congrats! Did something happen to click for you, and if so, what was it?
Listen! I am in a similar boat. I was consistently getting 168s trying to hit a 170 but haven't yet. PT 151 is also notoriously difficult, and I scored a 162 on it, which I haven't scored since February. A lot of 7sage users gave me some great reassurance. this score doesn't define you; you have to be strong and rebound from it! My confidence was really shaken! But I took PT 156 2 days ago and scored a 167. I'll take it, considering I was not expecting much.
I think you should wait a week, take it a day at a time, and then do another PT. I am sure you'll be right back to where you were. Make sure to compose yourself before reviewing PT 156. I also think you should do another PT so you don't go into the June test with a pessimistic perspective. In the meantime, keep doing what you're doing--clearly it's working! But also don't overwhelm yourself
I believe it means that 66% of people who answer the question pick that specific answer. The average score of people who pick that answer is 168
It is important to let go of assumptions! When I read "traffic fatalities" in the stimulus, I was thinking about on-site fatalities, so I eliminated D. But D is reasonable because they could help more people survive. E strengthens. Conclusion is that there's more skillful drivers, and yes, an education program would create more skillful drivers.
D makes sense! I got it right but had to shed my assumption that adults who work outside the home might cut corners or are too tired to make a good meal. Once I did that, D was reasonable. Yes, they spent less time on dinner because they don't eat as much at home.
@aowengua Ok true, but the stimulus states that the nutritional value does not differ significantly. So we have to take it as true. We are resolving a discrepancy, not changing what the stim says. We take that information into account!
I recently had a session with tutor @SCOTT_LEBO . It was amazing. Even before our session began, he emailed me two detailed PDFs on how to approach LR and RC. He mentioned that he's been refining his method for 10+ years, and he found it highly effective. I did too. Then, during our session, we went through my analytics so he could personally gauge my strengths and weaknesses. He also used the information I provided him before our session. We started with my weakest point, RC, and thoroughly reviewed a passage that targeted all my weaknesses (lol). He made sure to use multiple approaches to justify how to get the right answer, as well as why my answer was wrong (instead of just giving me the answers). We focused on how to tackle passages and questions. He asked me to also chime in and explain my thought process, which he evaluated clearly and refined. Because I self-studied for months before this point, I was surprised to learn that I took away new techniques that I hadn't been using. We also focused on some LR question types that give me trouble. I actively processed through these question types, and he explained a certain technique (found on the PDF) that simplifies the question. Besides clearly being knowledgeable and experienced, Scott also took the time to listen to my concerns fully and thoroughly answer them. My experience was also personalized to fit my needs. If anyone is looking for a tutor, I highly recommend Scott. I feel much more confident for my June LSAT. Good luck to everyone!
Isabella kindly looked through my analytics and helped me curate a custom study plan. She compared where she was at to receive her high score to where I was at, which helped me realize that I needed to take a new approach to my study methods (especially because I am at a plateau). She not only left very detailed feedback, but she also explained its implications (what current tests are like, how these questions affect me, how this specific plan will target my needs). I highly recommend. She also responds quickly and gets right to business!
Hello! I am looking for just one or two sessions with a tutor before my June lsat. Although I am highly motivated and improved 19 points from my diagnostic to my highest PT score, I am a low income student and have been self studying. I find myself unable to get the couple of points needed to hit 170. I know this is an abnormal request, but would anyone be willing to tutor me for free or a very reduced price for a little bit? Perhaps someone who is just starting to tutor and would like some experience? It would mean so much to me. I am a hard worker and it would not go to waste. I'm just unfortunately not in the best position to pay for a tutor, which is a barrier for me to get the score I know I can achieve. To this day I still recognize mentors who uplifted me in my hardest moments and helped me get to where I am today. Thank you.
I don't know what happened. I'm taking the june lsat and had been scoring pretty well, -1 to -4 lr average and a little worse on rc, getting in the high 160s for preptests. last friday i got a low 160 on a preptest. i brushed it off as a fluke so i wouldnt worry myself, but i just got another low 160 today, and my sections have been -7 average...
did his happen to anyone else? i feel like it's not a nerves issue but idek anymore
@Catpop this was great advice
