In this instance, they are using an instead of "a" because earlier is a vowel.

This link explains it.

https://www.dictionary.com/e/a-vs-an/

"A" and an are interchangeable, it just depends on the word that comes next. While they do mean 1 as in your apple example, it doesn't mean the day immediately preceding, just any day preceding.

Thank you so much 😊

Hi, I took my flex exam on an iMac in July! You need to have a handheld mirror with you, and you will have to "reflect" your surroundings like your desk and under your desk using the mirror. It took like 30 seconds and it wasn't an issue at all.

Thank you so much!

You need a webcam. It can be separate from the computer though. LSAC has a pretty extensive list of what's allowed and not allowed in. the FAQs https://www.lsac.org/update-coronavirus-and-lsat/lsat-flex.

The iMac has webcam. It's a big giant monitor with a webcam. I wonder if it is allowed and if so, do I hold this giant monitor around when I scan the room?

J must meet on an earlier day of the week than O would be J-O

J _ O would be J meets 2 days earlier than O or that there is one day in between when J and O meet

And JO would be J meets on the day immediately before O

Isn't the "an" represents one day? like an apple is one apple? Thank you !

For those who signed up during "promo" period before (I remember that it is 1 year access?), do we still need to subscribe? Thank you!

This schedule is very helpful! When do you review the PT? Also, do you review all questions or just the question you missed? Thank you!

Hey sorry for the delayed response. I have been studying since around Sept 2019 (I had briefly "studied" by reviewing a PowerScore book and taking a diagnostic a couple of years before that but don't really count it).

Sept 2019 - Nov 2019 = CC

Dec 2019 - June 2020 = PT and drills

I started drilling LG as soon as I finished CC. I would do 5, 10, 15, etc a day until I finished all of the PT 1-35 games. I would also revisit the 1-35 games for foolpoofing and revisit any game I had already taken in a PT.

Before March/corona, I could usually only do one PT a week (Saturday) because I work full-time. After corona and being able to work from home, I was able to switch to PT on Saturday and PT on Wednesday before work because I wouldn't need time in the morning to commute or really get ready for work.

So that schedule would look like:

Saturday: PT 1

Sunday: BR

Monday: drills (either timed sections or individual games and individual passages)

Tuesdays: drills & maybe revisit things from the Saturday PT

Wednesday: PT 2

Thursday: BR

Friday: drills

Step 1 is to do an evaluation. Do another section and start with the last 10. See if you're getting them wrong because of difficulty or because of endurance.

It's more because of the difficulty

I think my problems are a little of both the reasons you mentioned. Timing and difficulty. Endurance is not a big problem since Flex is 3 sections now. Is it better to start from last questions? More difficult to easy? Anyone tried to practice from the last to the first question?

@benschloss637 said:

I think the reason why is one of, or a combination of, three reasons: 1) endurance, 2) timing/feeling rushed, and 3) question difficulty (harder logic games and passages tend to be one of the last two in each section). I'd recommend checking your timing for the earlier questions after 7sage's practice tests to see if it's an issue of timing. You can also look at the question/passage/game difficulty for the ones you're missing and see if it's difficulty.

If you think it's partially endurance, right when you finish a section, immediately grab another from one of the earliest tests and just do 5 more problems at random. It's like with running - you train at distances longer than you "race" for.

Hopefully this helps. I've had a number of concussions, so fatigue is a major issue for me, and it's helped me.

I also agree with the translation drill recommendation above! Read the stimulus, cover it up or close your eyes, and translate it back into your own language. Identify the conclusion, and the controversy or the loophole, etc

How do you do translation drill? Does it like practice simplifying the sentences into your words?

Hey! I had a similar problem. My tutor recently suggested me to do at minimum 10 questions a day of LR from Q15-25/26. I've been drilling about 10 a day and I've seen an increase in my accuracy!

I have a wrong answer notebook in where I write down answer I get wrong, the question type, the reason I missed this answer choice, and a solution for this!

LR isn't about memorization for the most part. It is about taking the bigger picture. I used to be -16 in LR and have since moved to -6. I found in my wrong answer journal that the biggest reason I missed a question was because of my poor understand of the stimulus.

Once I knew my issue, I started doing ONLY translation drills of the stimulus. I would read it once, and then cover it up, and try to translate what I read in my own words.

I think powerscore and lsat demon are going to come up 3 sections. HOOOPE 7SAGE can catch up!

The thing that makes me disappointed is : why 7 sage didn’t notify us about it? I'd rather share account with others to lower to cost

For USC, is it too late to apply in February after receiving Jan LSAT? Thanks

For the full 7Sage course, is starter package counted as full course? Where can I find the recorded videos? Thank you

Will you offer alternative way for the LG access? Maybe another package just for all the games or open access to starter package ?

when will we have access to LR explanation videos?

those cheetahs are so cute!

I love that book too. I love the loophole and CLIR methods on LR.

Hi, they've been available for a while now.

https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/preptest-87-video-explanations-for-all-questions/

Your account looks like it's expired which is probably why you can only see the LG explanations.

Did you have access to PT 87 when your account was active? If so, the link above should have worked. If you'd like to see about reactivating your account, please contact studentservice@jy-ping.com.

thank you for letting me know. I bought it when it had promotion and was waiting to see the LR & RC explanations for a while, but only see the logic game section. My account just expired last week T_T.
