Without going into detail, whats the consensus on game 3? Difficult? Easy? Or just time sink?
Lots of people on the TLS forums giving conflicting accounts on it.
Does anyone think that the difficulty of the game will affect the "curve" of the test in a favourable way?

Couldn't failing a requirement of a murder movie → not a murder movie? Requirement = necessary. Thoughts?
Doesn't answer choice C set up a bi-conditional between A and M?
Can D also be wrong because it limits the scope to "Great poems," which was just extra information in the stimulus?
B and C are BS answers. E Has the conditions reversed, D is subjective ("No good reason...") I get A by elimination. I think it's still a bit unclear how it is correct, but I take it and move on regardless.
Can someone please explain if there is a logical difference between "many" and "most?" I remember reading or watching in one of the logic lesson videos that there is a difference between "too many" and "most" because the former is a subjective statement. For example: "There are 'too many' social programs in the USA..." would be a subjective statement because Obama might not think there are, whereas Rand Paul might think there are. It's a matter of perspective.
Does this also extend to "many?"
Does Many = some or most? Or neither?
Doesn't answer choice C force us to assume that the individuals in question were more accurate at first and less inaccurate later on in part because they simply began to forget more of the details of the crime, as would normally happen with memory? If we assume this, then they merely forgot more of the details of the crime by the time that the second guy got around to questioning them. As a result, they were more inaccurate because of this AND their stubbornness.
I thought this would be an unreasonable assumption to make on my first pass and so chose answer D. But went back during blind review and reconsidered it & I marked C as the answer.
Did anyone else think of this?
I don't think Boston College will have any money left at that point in the summer. They have been giving out very low offers to people who are qualified. For example, someone got in a Cornell with 90k/3years and Notre Dame with 120k/3years and only got 60k/3years at BC.
I'm confused why they are giving out such low offers this year. It's very strange...
Thanks Nilesh S!
What do other people think about study practices for a retake?
Yeah, I'm also planning campus visits at these schools before I do my re-write. Mostly so that they can put a face to my applications and I can get someone on the adcomm to advocate for me.
I'm already doing blind review as I did for my first LSAT. I just worry that re-doing PT's might be less beneficial, especially if I remember the answers instinctively...
Hey all,
I have been waitlisted at University of Washington and Boston College and I'm certain that my LSAT score was the reason for this. I am planning to retake in June to either get off waitlists this year or reapply next year with a better score.
Are people generally successful at gaining admission off of waitlists if they retake the June LSAT and perform better (5+ point increase)? Does anyone here ( hint hint, JY Ping & co. :D) have any suggestions for how to approach retaking the LSAT? I've used much of my study material already...
Sorry if people below answered this already: There is another flaw in this question, in my belief. It equates "probability of avoiding heart disease" with "maintaining good health is increased"
It is a gap that I am not comfortable with.
How do you infer that AA --m--> FCA? The only indication is likely.
Couldn't we say that a necessary condition is failed: /know dictionary definition but still U (babies) mean we're not in "Bizarro" world?
Please comment here when you know for sure.
Try playing solitaire on a touch screen phone. That helped me during my free time on the bus/subway to get the speed down. Similar techniques behind both.
Thats a good explanation, thanks! I have the 7 sage ultimate package so I'm familiar with the argument type you are referring to with the jedi & force. What was confusing to me was the Powerscore & some other companies often group MSS and MBT together as "inference question" types. But this clear it up.
Thanks again.
Hi,
Can someone please explain the difference between these two question types? I find that there is a significant amount of overlap in the content of answer choices and it is hard to distinguish. Is a MSS question asking for something that is just most likely to be true based on the stimulus? On the other hand, does a MBT have to be true 100% of the time no matter what based on the information in the stimulus? Before coming to 7 sage, I previously used powerscore to self-study and they group both question types together under one umbrella.
Can someone clarify the difference? To me it seems like a MSS is more like a Could be true question from the LG, whereas MBT is always true.
Thanks
Satisfying a sufficient assumption will guarantee that you go from crappy argument --> logical/good argument.
Failing necessary assumption will guarantee that you go from logical/good argument -->crappy argument.
I know how the curve is determined in advance. But that doesn't rule out the possibility that it could still have been determined in advance that the game was difficult and would, therefore, have adjusted the curve accordingly. Am I right?
Also, without breaking LSAC regulations, which two rules did most people misread?
