sweetsana thanks! There were a couple of notes I used :)

Allison thanks for the explanation!! I don't know why when I did the lessons I didn't get what PSA was but now I do so thank you!

I want to practice PSA questions do you know where I could find a list of them? Or maybe everywhere else they lump it into the assumption category...

Thanks! The workaround still didn't work. How weird. But I logged into another computer and was able to access the link. Just bought the PT and excited to have an addtl month access :)

Hello! Here are mine two.

Step 1: What did you read in the stimulus and what do you know on the basis of that reading?

Must Be True answers must be based on information in the stimulus or the direct result of combining statements in the stimulus. Be wary of new information that is not explicitly in the stimulus.

Correct answer choices:

1. Paraphrased answers are answers that restate a portion of the stimulus in different terms. When these answers mirror the stimulus, they are correct.

2. Combination answers result from combining two or more statements in the stimulus.

Incorrect answer choices:

1. Exaggerated answers take information from the stimulus and then stretch that information to make a broader statement that is not supported by the stimulus.

2. Are A.C. that could possibly occur or are likely to occur, but are not certain to occur.

3. The Reverse Answer is attractive because it contains familiar elements from the stimulus, but it rearranges those elements to create a new, unsupported statement.

SA

Sufficient assumption questions contain an argument that is, by itself, not fully complete. Unless we add more to the argument, it’s not going to be fully valid.

Your task in answering these is to find a piece of information (an additional premise) that does make it valid.

To form a good pre-answer on a sufficient assumption question, think about what is both a necessary and sufficient assumption for the conclusion to be valid. This is forming a bridge to the conclusion.

Correct answer choice:

1. That, if true, would definitely, 100%, beyond all shred of a doubt, make the conclusion valid.

This is a great idea. It will be good to have this to review before I go ahead with my first PT. I can help with a question type or two.

There is the LSAT Analytics feature available. You plug in your PT answers and it spits out what questions you got wrong based on the type and how common they are. Then labels the difficulty of each question along with a video explanation.

Hi Anne,

Thanks for the advice. I will look over more MC Q's before I get more into the next lessons. How much more should I practice? Before I had seen your message though I did move on and did MSS last night and got 4/6. The two I got wrong was the airplane cabin air/photons and rhodopsin.

The airplane one I needed to have made a small assumption but I didn't. The photons one was talking about circular motion and chg. of temperature in the passage the right answer included the words hot and cold which were not in the passage. So when I read hot and cold I thought it was silly. BUT I needed to have deduced that more circular motion causes an inc. in temp. thus it amounts to heat and then vice versa would be cold. If I had done that then the answer choice with the words hot and cold would have made sense!

Thanks for this list. I will use it in the near future for my studying.

retaker2014 what factors went into your score to not score as high as your PTing? I am shooting for a 160+ as well.

Thank you Chrijani7 !

ikethelsat:

Thank you! I believe I should stick to one so that I don't get confused. Since I purchased the 7sage course that's what I will stick to.

Your right 7sage makes it easy to track my progress and as soon as I get to that point I will know what type of games are my strength/weakness.

I REALLY needed the advice that I shouldn't get caught up on the details. I thought I DID and it was starting to overwhelm me. I thought I did have to look at a stage and go through the thinking process of how i'd approach it, do this, this, then this that maybe in the beginning but not forever.

So with improvising and reacting to new setups all it takes is practice, practice, and practice right?

chrijani7

Thank you for your help! I really do need more practice so that when I approach one I know the proper habits for each one. Again I feel relieved that once I have these games down I can just do them. I can't wait for it to become second nature .

THANKS GUYS!!! I feel better now going forward.

wendelsr-1 where can I locate the LSAT analyzer?

Thanks guys! I will start PT at the end of this month and I appreciate these tips!

I print double sided. I have two notebooks with 200 pages. I love the dry erase board idea! Going to buy one now...

My diagnostic was a 138 and after finishing the course I got a 153. I was learning new "things" every 2-3 days and the day after I finished the course without reviewing anything I jumped right in to take my first PT and scored the 153. My goal now is a 160. You can do this!!!

Thank you Jonathan! That's exactly what I needed to hear. If there was a progress curve or not. Now I know that I can expect anything at this point.

I also see that going from 153 to a 163 is a bigger jump then the 10pt increase I visually saw it as. Going from the 56th percentile score to an 89th percentile score is a HUGE increase and achieving that after one week of review and drills is unlikely. So, thanks for the reality check!!!

lsattutorinla that sounds good! We can see how it goes.

I would love to join lsattutorinLA I will add you as a contact on Skype tonight. I just learned about inferences and started to diagram. I consider myself to be really early in the studying stage as I am still going through the lessons. So... maybe it won't work out for me to join.
