Wondering how all of you drilled valid and invalid argument forms. Wondering if I should make a quizlet, make myself a quiz? Wanted to know the most effective way and seek advice :) thanks so much

Definitely also having a similar problem. I would focus on mindset. 1) you need to do the low res summaries that focus on structure. For instance, say something like "introduction of theory" for first paragraph, and move forward. 2) At the end of each passage, ask yourself, "WHY did the author write this?" because if you take at that value, it will help you with main point and inference questions. 3) remember all answers in RC are provable. they will come straight from the text. if they are not, you can infer to a provable answer choice.
Definitely interested!
This would be great! Let me know.
Hi guys, wanted some advice. I just did the curriculum for parallel flaw and nearly got all of them wrong. Does anyone have any tips for these questions and flaws in general? They are giving me a lot of trouble and wanted to know how you guys drilled them and found success.
I totally understand the frustrating feeling! A helpful thing for me is to remember that most SAs or PSAs are a linking exercise. Like when you really dumb these questions down - the only thing they are trying to accomplish is getting from A --> B - not outside or it or too narrow. I try to remember this. The answers are in the exact scope of the question and match the language of the stimulus. Also, ANTICIPATE! when you do these, highlight the conclusion and ask yourself, "what support does this conclusion have?" there's going to be a gap. Let me know if you ever want to work on one or look at a particular problem too because these used to give me trouble. Hope this helps. Treat like a linking exercise and anticipate the answer choice. Don't bulldoze to answer choices.
Hi guys. I have been hesitant to post my story because I am always super hard on myself and didn't wanna share this but I thought it could be beneficial. I started my LSAT journey 7 months ago, but struggle with severe test anxiety and just general confidence issues. I had been PT-ing in the 160s prior to my August LSAT, but took August and got the lowest score I've ever gotten, even lower than my diagnostic. I had a panic attack during logic games and kind of lost it all. Today, I am preparing for October and I have gotten PT's of 168,169,166,170,171. I write all of this to let you guys know that it is possible, even if you don't think it is. You just have to keep going. Even now, I hesitant to post this because my brain is like, "Will I replicate this for October?" But if anyone needs a push to keep going, you can. My PTs are already 10 points higher than my August score and it's only been a couple weeks. You have it in you, just believe you do!
It says there are no sessions for me
Wait, my proctor u is saying that nothing is available, did you guys have this problem?
Yes! i got in with a 163 :)
Hey guys - Does anyone have any general tips for Inference (author's perspective) or any inference on RC? It seems to be my weakest point and really wanted some tips on this.
Hey guys - wanted to ask a quick question for those that struggle with anxiety on tests and anxiety in general.
Thanks so much.
Happy to join this!
This one was really tough.
Question #9: Function in context..
1. read before and after.
2. Ask yourself, "what does this do?" It's best to anticipate answer choices as much as you can. I would say, that it's to describe some similarity between this quality of Western Apache places and Hopi. This is what B is getting at. We don't really know anything about the western apache place names except that the author is using it to compare it to something that's a "typical feature of Hopi personal names"
3. Stay true to what the author really wants to do in accomplishing this passage. That's why something like D doesn't make sense
Question #12:
Don't assume too much for these. It's too narrow because you can't apply it to the Hopi.
Question #14:
sometimes there will be things in conclusion that will help. ask yourself WHY did the author do this
Wanted to get some opinions on how you all approach MSS questions. I feel like I am getting these wrong often because I am struggling to piece together all the information in such a short period of time (especially on the science ones/things I am not familiar with). How do you all approach these questions to ensure quick reading comprehension? Do you always draw a diagram? Also, any general tips on quick elimination would be helpful.
Missed 2 on this one - the first one I felt pretty silly for. #8, I picked C because I didn't finish reading the answer choice. I stopped reading before rest of Europe. NOTE TO SELF: literally always read an answer choice. It always makes me think of the Loophole book where Ellen says that the LSAT loves to put in "almost right" answers. so gotta be careful about that and pay a little more attention to detail. A is the correct answer now looking at it because of the evidence portion - "overlap between the civil bar and the ecclesiastical bar" proves that there was some overlap between the two. The passage talks about this just to say, "look, with this overlap.. we definitely know that it was inefficiency because some people were employed in both" so it's not that these advocates were more likely to have ethics.. it's just a matter of inefficiency..
Also missed #12 because I missed the element of "at the expense of ethics" so I got it down to A and B. I think I need to learn for these questions to go back to the phrase that's being referenced, look above and below it to get a broader picture. I grasped the notion of needing to defend oneself but lost the ethics in it. look for all elements and don't let recognition questions get you!
@ YOU GOT THIS!! i love this little support group we have.
@ sorry meant to tag you! It went back up for 2022 to 14! But agreed, it is such a weird metric! Are you enrolling for fall of 2022 as well? cool to see everyone becoming students at different places
@ said:
@-2 First of all, congrats, and to the OP as well! Just an FYI GULC did officially drop to #15 (not that it matters, it's an amazing school regardless) in 2021. Also, why do give clout to the top 14? anyone know? is 15 or 20 just not exclusive enough??
Yeah! it went back to 14 for 2022! They released the new list earlier this month.
Also GTown is #14 this year which is awesome :)
Hey! I had a similar story and also just enrolled in Georgetown, we will be classmates!
@ said:
Wow that is amazing, congratulations!! As someone who has been in DC for 4+ years, Georgetown would be a DREAM! I'm hoping for a low 160s which is why Georgetown would be a stretch for me...any Georgetown specific tips? Thank you so much!
Direct message me and we can talk about it!
@ said:
did you apply as URM? sorry if this is personal! just a little curious.
No I did not! I am a KJD and not URM
I'm definitely not saying it's luck! I think it was my personal statement. But, I am posting this to show that LSAT is not everything. > @ said:
If you got in with low 160 in Georgetown it's not luck, either you have an impressive resume or affirmative action.
Hi guys. I just wanted to make a post to end my 7sage career. I took the LSAT twice, cancelled in August, was apart of the crowd that got messed up in October and ended up getting a lower end 160. I was devastated and thought I wouldn't get into any schools. I ended up getting into Georgetown yesterday after applying at the beginning of November. I guess I post this to let everyone studying know that things are going to work out even if you don't think they will. Best of luck to everyone :)
Does anyone know if we were slotted to take it today, if there is any way we could take tomorrow or Tuesdays?
Can everyone please post updates here? Can we all petition to be able to take it ASAP? They told me November and I just can't do that. I don't know about you guys
Yes -- does anyone know what to do?
Where can you purchase it?
