Hey all,

So yea I'm in this predicament. I've spent a few days in torturous introspection to no avail so lets see what you folks think. I took the test under awful physical conditions to say the least; coughing, sneezing, migraine, light headedness just to name a few of my symptoms (that I'm still dealing with). Had to get up a few times mid section to go spit and blow my nose.....I digress.

I ran out of time on every section (around 5-7 missed in each I'd say) and only got through 2 and a half LG. Oddly enough, I felt pretty confident on almost every question I did answer. Including LG. Mid 160s was my goal but I am all but certain I fell short. Before falling ill, I conceded that I'd retake in December if I came out unconfident. Now I'm faced with the decision of whether or not to cancel. Thoughts?

to me the reasoning in the stimulus seems fallacious because it attempts to rely on expert authority at all rather than valid argument; in this case a valid rebuttal of the success of a program (or lack thereof).

i think this may have been a bit easier if the question stem had said "misinterpreted" instead of "interpreted"

number 17 is ridiculous. is money not a resource that should be "conserved"?

I chose B not because I assumed lobsters live long enough to get gill disease, but because it must be that the lobsters in the open ocean (the ones we don't catch) aren't being harmed by the sewage that's in an industrial harbor, hence the longer lifespans. Meaning that the proposal to reroute sewage would be in fact be useful in reducing gill disease. Am I wrong because I assumed the longer lifespans are at least in part due to the decreased likelihood of gill disease?

so hopefully this is a temporary loss of clarity, but I can't quite articulate the difference. In grouping games it seems that both A-->/B and A(--)/B can both be represented visually on a gameboard stacked in a box with a slash no? As in, if A is in a group then B is not; compared to A and B cannot both be in the same group.

Someone get my back!

I also chose D but i really didn't like that option much either. it seems to be based on the assumption that only major artists could have create "valuable paintings"

thanks thats great to hear! i did much better on the logic games and reading comprehension than on the logical reasoning. at this point i am looking to study maybe 12-15/week give or take but for some reason i am finding the prep so far a bit fun (yes my life is that boring lol) so i may push it a bit further. today alone i've spent about 10 hours reviewing the test and watching the video explanations. i guess thats what this NYC winter will do to you lol

LSAT noob

Hey all,

so i am new here at 7sage (Ultimate) and just finished PTJ07 scoring a 157. my original intention was to prepare for the better part of a year and take the real deal in Feb '16. at this point i would just like some feedback on what significance that sort of score (if any) should have on my preliminary timeframe. i hope to get to 170 (at least 165+) and the sooner i take the real LSAT the better, but i'm not at all willing to compromise my preparedness in order to save time. is it reasonable to think that i can bump up that score 10+ points? before PTJ07 i essentially did no LSAT prep outside of reading about the test.

i'd appreciate any and all feedback!

Locked out of first LSAT prep test?

Hey all,

I purchased the Premium package a few days ago and I just finished the June 07 LSAT but for some reason my account is denying me access now that I want to go back and review the score and answers. All of the lessons from the June 07 LSAT link including the video explanations are now locked and highlighted in yellow. I tried logging in and out a few times but its still the same. What could be the problem?

Thanks,

Matt

(A) was my first answer choice, but i wasn't totally satisfied because of the last sentence of the stimulus. it claims that it is almost impossible to make drivers with a lot of demerits into good drivers. it doesn't say anything about those also with serious driving related offenses, therefore i understood that these drivers would not be in the "DLS" group; they'd be just "DL." JY justifies (A) primarily with that final sentence, but to me it seems that there is insufficient info in the stimulus for complete justification.

am i missing something?
