Its time. We are all freaking out but trust yourself. You've done the work and know what to do. LR: You've done every question type multiple times and know how to I.D and Breakdown the stimulus and find that damn answer! LG... dont you dare throw me something crazy LSAT CREATORS! RC Give me those engaging sexy topics please!
OH well, good luck everyone. BTW is January LSAT too late to apply? No! Dont think this way. You got THIS ONE!
This was gonna be my first LSAT and I wasn’t able to take it. I logged in and then proctor took over, then the computer began to lag like crazy. We kept on disconnecting. My internet is fine and is fast but when they took over, it went to crap. We tried to fix it for two hours and no luck. I went to buy a usb Ethernet adaptor to fix the connection issue by connecting my laptop directly to the modem. The proctor told me to call LSAC to see what we can do and he even said to download the chat box later to try again. I talked to tech support for proctor u and they didn’t know about this chat box (this one that allows the proctor to talk to you and take over your computer) but told me to email them to reschedule. Today was the last day to take the exam on the schedule. Wth! Am I screwed here? Anyone have/had this issue and is there a way to take the October exam still?
Yea. I’m was doing HORRIBLY at week 5 I’m noticing improvements but again I have been studying off and on since January 2020. In terms of what I wish I could have focused on for quick boost in short time, for LR focus on what your looking for in the answers related to the stem. If you don’t know what you’re looking for, it’s gonna be hard. Examples:
MBT/inference: look for answers that are 100% true with the given facts. Key is if it could be true (or even has a possibility of being false in a scenario), that’s not strong enough.
MSS: this is where I like to say you can take a leap using the info from the stimulus. In a sense the the answer is most likely true. It’s not as strict as MBT/inference
Weaken/Strengthen: look for answer choices that if are true, would help the argument or vice versa (key here is to know what the premises and conclusion are because you need to make sure it stays consistent with the passage/arguments points And conclusion.
Role in the argument: know what the line they identified is doing the passage: it’s usually background info, premie, conclusion but they don’t word answer choices that way so example would be for premise answer, it’s offered as support for the claim... so that’s a way of saying it’s a premise
Main point questions: look for a restatement of the conclusion
Necessary assumptions and sufficient assumptions: if it’s necessary play the game if not true or not true does it destroy the argument game. Works most of the time, if it’s a sufficient assumption question look for a missing premise that completed the argument. Personally I think these are hard as hell.
Flaw questions: these are hard but usually there is a list of common flaws in arguments in the syllabus. Memorize them and know which flaw the argument is doing. Examples of flaw are correlation error, necessary sufficient error, representative sample error etc
So as you see here, if you know what the question stem is asking, you know what to look for, so you have a better chance of what the answer will most likely be. Usually knowing what to look for helps you eliminate majority of the answer choices.
LG are a different animal. Get your translations down and know how rules restrict the game. The restrictions help you make inferences to make the game much easier. You also need to know game setups, like it is a sequencing game (Single layer Or double layer), or is this a grouping game, and what’s the best way I can set up the game where it makes it the easiest to see what’s going on.
These are a helpful tips. Build on these concepts may help. Good luck! This test is hard!
Is there a way to do a pt with an optional 5 section to simulate the actual test? Fatigue is a factor and practicing with an additional section will help overcome that. And if there isn’t a way, how can we ask 7Sage to set this up for us? I’m sure a lot of people have the fatigue issue also and want to have this option too. #Adminhelp
@maizinburly527 yea I had already signed up for both the October and November LSAT. LSAC did give me my refund for the October LSAT but now I’m down to one attempt at this thing. November was supposed to be my back up :/
