I have a few tips that so far have been helping me overall.

First let me explain my biggest problem, it's not sketching the rules by themselves, rather making the inferrences and linking them.

Originally I had the hardest time just sketching out the rules let alone making inferences, but not that I've been doing them....ALOT.....I MEAN ALOT, i'm starting to see things that I've not seen before.

Here's what I did:

1 totally disregarded the timing aspect, (at this point it just depressed me and totally bugged my brain down). Yeah I know you will have to do it, but if you can't do it under relaxed conditions then how can you expect yourself to do anything under stressful one's?

2 I focused ONLY on the game, the sketch, and the rules. I totally ditched the questions because the thing that I've noticed is that when I look at a video that JY made and it gives me the sketch and the rules i can answer a question with 90% + accuracy in less than a minute a piece, so for me the biggest time eater was the sketch and understanding how the rules worked for/against the other rules.

If you focus on the rules and try to imagine the sketch, then the answers will be there, so don't worry about that part, and most importantly don't let it get to you. I was able to find a few youtube video's that talk about "how to study effectively" that were posted by college professors and they relate to things such as the LSAT and some of the most important things I've picked up are listed above.

Lastly I would suggest index cards for the LG and how to write them out. Those helped me ALOT

AND

making multiple copies of the PT's that you have, preferably three or more. Why? Because:

Copy 1 will be the original

Copy 2 you can write on in a timed environment

Copy 3 you can write on in a non timed environment

This will give you an idea as to whether or not the clock is the thing that's paralyzing you and not the question persay.

PT23.S1.Game2 - positions at a nonprofit organization

http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-23-section-1-game-2/

I'm looking at the video and the questions and so far everything makes sense, EXCEPT a few key issues.

1 If hired ------> interviewed

and

IF F h (ired) -----> K i (nterviewd)

then the contrapositive would be ~Ki -------> ~Fh but what does that mean? I mean if K isn't hired he wasn't interviewed, but here the contrapositive is saying that he wasn't even interviewed....so does that mean that he COULD be hired...or that HE WAS OUT?

If the later is the case then shouldn't there be a third box to the sketch: H / I / Out ?

Skype/Oovoo study buddy needed

Hey guys I'm very new to this forum mbut I figured I would try my luck.

I'm looking for a partner who is serious about working. At the moment I'm averaging about four hrs a day to the LSAT and I'm seeing some very slow improvements but improvements nonetheless.

However, I've been told that groups often tend to help learn things much faster than the traditional way, so if anyone is interested in skyping a few PT's or just want to do specific sections please let me know.
