@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

Thank you all so much for your comments. I can't express how appreciative I am of all your comments. I was feeling so very low when I wrote that yesterday and each and every one of your messages helped me feel much better (3(/p)

I'm going to re-evaluate how I am studying because I have a feeling if I give up now I will always regret not pushing myself. I've always put the practice of law on a pedestal and admired lawyers. Giving up now means I'll always feel a sense of emptiness because I 1000% want to practice law and no other career (for me) can compare. The LSAT is designed to weed people out for law school and what I realized and helped me feel better is that this is just another barrier I have to get through. It is an extremely tough barrier but I also worked all throughout undergrad and finished which served as a barrier to get me to this point. This is the finish line to get into law school. I'm already familiar with the test and concepts, I just have to get better. It helps having all of your reassurance that some of you started off with very low scores and managed to improve or that some of you are in the same boat as me.

Thank you for not discouraging me as I truly felt someone should just tell me to give up. It's better I don't give up now than go into a career I don't like and realize 10 years later that right now would've been the perfect time to grind it out.

I don't know what to do :(

I've written the LSAT twice before (2017 and 2018) - I scored in the 140s both times. I've been studying on/off for 2-3 years but for the past couple months I've really dedicated all my time to the LSAT. However, I'm frustrated and shocked that I'm still scoring in that range. I'm scheduled to write the LSAT on Monday :(

I've completed the core curriculum with 7 Sage and completed a few practice tests, drilling and blind review. But I'm still averaging -13 on LR, -10 LG, -15 RC.

The 7 Sage curriculum is amazing and it's the most engaging platform for LSAT prep (imo). I've seen the slightest improvement in my score but it's so insignificant (low 140s to mid 140s). I think it's just me and my own inability. I am not improving. I'm putting in the work. I have the perseverance, stamina and motivation to keep trying since I've written it twice before. Going to law school is what I want more than anything and I've had this goal for several years even before undergrad. It's a hard reality to face when I've been trying to get better at the LSAT for so long and not improving significantly. I feel so hopeless right now.

I have an excellent GPA but my very low LSAT score will not compensate for that. I just need a mid 150. I know it's a learnable test but maybe not for me because why am I not improving? I'm drilling question types and reviewing notes I've made on each question type. But I'm still missing them and running out of time.

I feel at my lowest right now...thinking about giving up on a dream that I've had for so long. It's also the anxiety knowing I'm writing Monday and will get the same score I have in the past.

I just don't know what to do. I really don't want to give up but it feels like the only choice.

If any of you have any comments, opinions or feedback on my situation, I would truly appreciate it even if it's not what I want to hear.

I'm having trouble with answer choice D.

Deceitful is a necessary condition. So, job properly --> deceitful

Answer choice D is: deceitful politicians --> ineffective

It makes some sense because I can see that it is a sufficient condition here but it just doesn't click for me as to why it's wrong.

I didn't go through the entire course, he mentions for answer choice C "you can use the Group 3 without negate... translation method"

1. What is he referring to? Do you know where I can find this type of info of negating certain words in answer choices in the course?

2. Why is answer choice A wrong? Why is it flipped around and read that way?

Most Strongly Supported - MSS

Does anyone have any tips for MSS?

Everything I've read through just doesn't seem to click and I keep getting these type of questions wrong :( I'm aware that they are similar to MBT but with a lower degree of certainty needed.

Why are the following Strengthen question stems:

o Which one of the following principles, if accepted, would most strongly support ABC against XYZ?

o Which one of the following principles, if established, would provide the strongest support for XYZ?

AND these are Pseudo Sufficient Assumption question stems:

o Which one of the following principles, if valid, most helps to justify the ethicists reasoning?

o Which of the following, if added as a premise to the argument, most helps to justify it’s conclusion?

oWhich one of the following principles most helps to justify the XYZ?

What's the difference between the two stems? I know what each question stem wants be to do but I'm having trouble IDENTIFYING it on PT's #help

It's a bit of both.. I have the answers memorized but I force myself to see how I got the answer. When going through the inferences, I have them memorized but I need to force myself to remember how I got those inferences.

I find it difficult because I'm trying to increase speed while going the inferences/questions which I know the answers to.

Fool Proofing Games

Hi!

I recently started doing the "Fool Proof Guide to Perfection on Logic Games"

For a game where the ideal time according to 7Sage is 6 minutes. I am scoring under that when fool proofing the game.

1st attempt: 8:50 (same day)

2nd attempt: 6:51 (same day)

3rd attempt: 5:47 (same day)

4th attempt: 4:42 (next day)

I guess I should come back to this game in a couple days or next week and see if my time is still roughly 4 minutes?

Is it redundant for me to keep drilling this game since I'm already under the allocated time?

LOGIC GAMES using SLOTS vs. COLUMNS

I've been going through 7Sage's explanation for logic games and I noticed JY uses slots instead of columns. I previously took another LSAT course and they used columns for sequencing games.

I'm kinda habitually stuck always going back to columns. I was wondering what benefit there is to use the slots opposed to columns?

For those of you that use the slots, what benefit do you see? Is it faster/neater? Do you prefer that method to columns?

Confirm action

Are you sure?
