I'm averaging -15 on LR, -6 on RC and -4 of LG. Clearly LR is my biggest issue right now. Should I be drilling only LR sections so my LR score "catches up" to my other sections or should I just keep doing full tests?
I'm about 6 raw points away from my target score for June.
very easy question but just a very very tricky trap answer choice
(E) was a bit hard to see for me. First the word "manipulation" seemed too strong a word to use for what they're doing and secondly it doesn't seem like it causes any "unwelcome consequences". I mean the customers complain but it seemed to me that "unwelcome consequences" is again too strong. An unwelcome consequence would be if we were told that putting the bread at the back actually pisses off the customers so much that they don't go to that store anymore and the store loses money.
This being said, the other answer choices are clearly wrong so I would get to this by process of elimination.
For (C), is it not a huge assumption to say that just because they developed more efficient lamp making techniques that they therefore made more lamps? For example, Germany might have developed more efficient laptop making techniques than another country that makes laptops, but this doesn't automatically mean that Germany makes more laptops than the other country. Maybe Germany intentionally makes very limited units for product novelty or something. I don't dispute that (E) is absolutely the correct answer but I just want to challenge why (C) is wrong. I feel like if JY had mistakenly said (C) is the right answer, a lot of us would make up all these reasons to convince ourselves why (C) is right.
In a full LSAT, which games are usually the easiest and which ones are the hardest? I thought it was usually the first one is the easiest, then the remaining 3 are a combination of medium games and hard games (2 medium 1 hard, or 2 hard 1 medium). It's always better to start with the easiest ones so I'm wondering if there is any definite order to the level of difficulty of the games.
D is an extremely tricky answer choice if you're pressed for time because the stem is a sufficient assumption stem but D sounds exactly like a necessary assumption answer (of course the data must be correct). So I thought they're just trying to trick you by giving you a necessary assumption in an SA question.
Yes other professions are included, especially professions where you deal a lot with other people. But the details aren't important. I'm just asking a causation correlation LSAT question.
So there's been a few studies that found that good looking people make more money on average over their lifetime than people who are not good looking. My question is this:
Have all these studies done is establish that there is a correlation between looks and income or can we say that good looks cause higher incomes? The studies seem to suggest or imply a causal relationship but if all they've done is establish a correlation, their findings are not as interesting. What's you analysis on this?
What are the other types of question types that have the word "principle" in their stems but are not really principle questions? I know "pseudo sufficient assumption" question stems often have principle in them.
But I also just saw that 7sage has labeled PT65 Q6 as an MSS question and I'm really confused. The stem for this question is "which of the following most closely conforms to the principle illustrated by the argument?" I thought this was a principle question and diagrammed the conditional to formulaically look for the proper premise and conclusion in the answer choices but it seems that's not really necessary.
@ I obsess over the LSAT 24/7 right now. My date with Ms. Robbie's hot twin sister will have to wait until next Valentine's day =D
I was joking and was being sarcastic guys! I thought I made it obvious :(
HAHAHA you guys are such losers! I went out with a girl who basically looks like she's Margot Robbie's twin sister. I did NOT stay home by myself and watch LOTR trilogy extended edition!
I can't wait to input my answers and get a detailed analysis of my performance. When will 7sage release the grader for PT 72?
I'm getting destroyed by weakening problem set 1. FML.
Come on this is just an unfair trick question lol
Is the experimental section before or after the break? because it'd be a disadvantage to have it before as it you'll be more fatigued for the remaining real sections. I did a PT with the experimental at the beginning and it really affected my performance.
Also for those that have done the test, is the break 10 minutes or 15 minutes? Might seem like a small detail but I want to replicate test conditions as closely as possible.
I literally just pretend that I'm fascinated with the topic and really fake enthusiasm about what the author has to say. It actually works and after like a minute you start to believe your own lie.
@: I scored a 179 in Dec and I'm now studying 11 hours a day to get a 180 in June. I'm Yale or bust. Ok I'll try and increase to 15 hours a day.
What are the most common question types on LR, as in the types such as weakening, principle etc that appear the most often on the test. We know what the most common LG types are, I'm just wondering if there are also any hard statistics for LR?
Breaks are for lazy people. Never take breaks. I study LSAT for 11 hours straight daily.
Ok I'm not sure which comments are being directed at me. If anyone's interested in my Google Hangouts group, email me and I'll add you to the group. We'll agree on a specific PT and you can do whatever parts of it you want and bring your questions to the group for discussion.
@ and @ I'll email you guys soon.
The answer for an SA will make the argument perfect, the answer for PSA will make it nearly perfect, the answer for strengthen only needs to make the argument slightly better.
I'm gonna start doing like two recent practice tests a week until the June exam. If people are interested, PM me and I can organize a weekly Google Hangout or something to go over questions. You can also email me at mrlsat180@.com
I switch it up too. I'd go crazy if I was doing only games for 3 weeks or only RC for 2 weeks.
I just refreshed and it went back to normal. They're just constantly making improvements to the site kind of like iPhone updates so this stuff happens.
I felt like a real lawyer reading the policy and figuring out the correct answer :)
The colon after prosecutor was missing in my question so I got very confused lol
I got this wrong because on my sheet there's a typo that ends the stimulus with "our patrons prefer not to cat potatoes". As you can imagine I was very confused.
You're -1/-2 on RC and LR? That's really amazing. Just keep practicing LGs and I can guarantee you'll be okay. 2 months is more than enough for you.
I`m taking mine on June 9th and it won`t be available until like May 22
I'm just curious because you've done or taught every question ever released and have basically "prepped" to the max. If you were to actually register and do the real thing would you get a 179-180? I know it's a stupid question but I'm just curious.
I ruled out A because it requires you to make an assumption that big projects = stress. Why should we make that assumption? Maybe big projects actually have a calming effect because they're retired and they're doing it as a hobby and actually enjoy the work.
