Hellos all,

so i have been experimenting with using the pomodoro technique for 35 min time slabs gearing up for the LSAT....really helpful with focussed study and deep work....and training the brain...

have downloaded tomighty and marinara as chrome extensions on my devices....thought might share the collated list of effective apps to try out....

APPS THAT MAY HELP YOU?

Forest: You can plant a seed in Forest. In the following time, this seed will gradually grow into a tree. However, if you cannot resist the temptation and leave this app to check Facebook or play a game, your tree will wither away. It’s available for both Android and iOS.Link

Tide: It combines the most popular time management method Pomodoro Technique with peaceful White Noise, Tide makes your time more productive and enjoyful. I personally use this app and I love it. It’s available for both Android and iOS.

Tomighty: A free desktop timer for the Pomodoro Technique. It’s not available for your smartphones rather its for your PC or Mac. If you have to study or work on your computer, in such case you can use it as focus agent.

Marinara: No this is not sauce, its Marinara Timer. A Pomodoro-style timer you can tailor to fit your productivity needs. You can set time segments that fit your workflow, reduce distractions and share your productivity timer with teammates to complete tasks more efficiently.

Am still studying for the December re-sit and plodding through the materials. But I want to drop in a quick line to say Thank You JY and team!! you guys are brilliant!! I wish I had bought the paid course for my June LSAT prep. Unfortunately, I had connectivity issues at my apartment and chose against buying a course purely for that reason which I sincerely regret now coz it feels like a lot of wasted effort. The powerscore bibles were my companions and were a great introduction but nowhere close to how good the 7sage curriculum is!!! not even close!!

loving the curriculum, loving the presentation, enthused by the rigour of the content and the connected community....loving it all as a whole.....feel way more confident now....i used to take the PT's and have this horrible feeling of never knowing for sure how I did....was never very sure of myself....

simple concepts like validity were left vague in the powerscore bibles leaving one craving for clarity.....

miles to go before i sleep.....but can't help feeling confident from within and more sure footed....perhaps ignorance is bliss and maybe it's because I still have a lot of material to cover....

investment in the course feels worth every penny....

love u guys and a BIG THANK U!!

Would like to know about Except JY....another word that gets me stuck quite frequently...

I have a sincere doubt on diagramming 'OR'....

A or B is it incorrect to diagram as A --> /B , B --> /A

i know group 3 indicators are diagrammed as /A --> B , /B --> A

but would it make any difference if I simply drew A --> /B

been racking my brain about this....

vini

'even without' does not seem to follow our group 3 indicator rules....

Ella can pass even without giving her presentation

Using Group 3 rules I came up with /pass --> give ppt

but that doesn't make any sense....what the sentence is really trying to say is not ( pass ---> ppt ) which amounts to pass and /ppt

very diff to mechanically following group 3 rules....

thinking harder about this and it doesn't matter whether it is without or even without group 3 logic doesn't hold nonetheless...

am i missing something here??

i know of Josh and David's workshops every week....wondered if there are any others or any coming up- bootcamps and sorts for those of us labouring away for the Dec LSAT....

would do us much needed good :)

i am having a tough time getting my head around why answer choice b is not a good contender...

while i agree with ac d being correct...am unable to justify why ac b is incorrect.....

negation of b- implementing a technology sometimes requires more creative effort than does true invention....this would totally wreck the current argument which in current state is preferring to shield small time inventors from large entity implementers of technology....

am getting stuck so much today.....feel like my brain is all gone mush....

all help welcome!

arrrhhhhgghhh....

Answer choice c and d are being problematic. I can reason through c but d is just blocking the doorway and am unable to peer through.

Anyone to the rescue??

Thanks heaps!

would it be a good way to think alternative to JY's explanation that answer choice B is wrong merely in having few as the existential indicator rather than a universal indicator as in the stimulus and correct answer choice C...

i just find JY's thinking perhaps like the flip side of a coin to be a tad bit confusing....

any thoughts?

while i agree AC b is incorrect...still seems to be a perfectly valid argument to me....anyone care to parse this one with me?

validity of answer choice B

https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/flaw-questions-problem-set-12/

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-20-section-1-question-10/

For this qs, while it fits well into the classic causation correlation flaw category with AC c as the correct answer, i am unable to get past AC e for its equitable validity as an answer choice as well....

can anyone help me get past this road block in my head please...

thanks heaps!

would AC e be a close second....i seem to have glossed over d and missed it choosing e realizing my folly on BR. But isn't e another version of d so plausible in the absence of d..

what would you reckon??

for AC b i equated many=some and chose e instead as it was a statement for “most” systems….but suppose since it is ratios in consideration similarity weighs more (hence not requiring exact no of planets to match) making b the correct answer choice….

does my line of reasoning sound right??
