Any low cost options out there? Greatly appreciated!

I was reviewing game 4 of preptest 81 and for question 23 JY mentioned the “core curriculum on substitution equivalence.” I’m on the cusp of understanding what he means with the knock out/sneak in test, but I need a little more. I can’t find the discussion listed as such in the core and assume it’s part of another lesson. Anyone know where so I don’t have to watch them all again? ? thank you!

Just want to throw out there what I think constitutes sufficient assumption questions. Sorry if this doesn't belong here but I like to just write it out.

Sufficient assumption questions: How can we take the premises we are given and make them lead to the conclusion we are given. Obviously there is a gap, the sufficient assumption + the premises will then help lead to the conclusion.

I've gathered that unless there are extremely extenuating circumstances, it's better not to write an actual addendum for a change in GPA or a particularly bad semester. My question: will a significantly upward GPA trend, or high GPA within-majors, automatically be noticed/sifted out by admissions committees when they look at my transcript, or is it worth noting that in a line on the resume (I'd just put something like GPA last two years: 3.8; in-major GPA: 3.85 on the same line as my undergraduate education) or somewhere similarly small?

I am only starting out but I would like a simpler way to find premise/conclusion? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I struggled doing the problem set.

Also, is there a way I can print out the text underneath the videos w/out having to copy and paste them into a word document? I want to be able to highlight, etc...

Anyone here interested in studying for the December LSAT in PST?

Are there any LR Q’s that are pretty much giveaways and you should almost always get correct?

I imagine this question has been addressed before, so I apologize; however, I'm asking your final, personal opinion on the question of taking the February exam. If I feel ready, should I take it? Or should I wait to apply next cycle?

Thanks in advance 7sage

Hello,

I am going to be writing the December LSAT and I am having alot of difficulty with logic games. I have been drilling and improving my LR and RC but I am horrible and I mean the worst kind of horrible for logic games, I barely get a few questions right. What suggestions can you make to help me get over this hump in time for the December LSAT? While I am strong with LR and RC, I know every point matters on the LSAT and I want to do the best i possibly can. I think my issue comes from the abstract thinking involved if this helps with your answer.

Thank you.

I've been grinding every single day BRing, drilling old tests, going back to the CC and I still am stuck a whole month later at a 161.

I just finished PT 68 and I got -12LR (-6 & -6) -0LG -13RC

I don't even know where to begin with RC so I have neglected it a bit. But for LR, it is my main focus and always has been. I am so inconsistent with questions and it drives me nuts. For example, in section 2, there were seven level 3 difficulty questions, five level 4, and two level 5. Out of the statistically 'hardest' 14 questions in the section I missed one level 3 and one level 4 question. The other four I missed were all one and two level difficulty questions. I even constantly have a good 5-6 minutes left in the section to go back and answer a few skipped questions.

Does anyone else have this problem? I may be over analyzing the easier questions, but I really don't know how to fix this problem. In hindsight, for every LR section I would say all but one or two are very simple, easy mistakes (read QS wrong, lost my brain, didn't identify the conclusion, didn't find the tension in a RRE question). It's fine if that was once in a blue moon, but these little mistakes are very consistent from section to section. Each time they are something small but different. I started to create an excel sheet where I go in detail trying to reenforce what I am doing right and dispel the wrong tendencies I have. If score is a tell of that success then I am not sure that is working out too well.

I feel like I am right at the tipping point of everything just clicking but my scores say otherwise. It's confusing and hard to figure out exactly how to push myself over the top right now. Any suggestions would be wonderful!!

As always, thanks!

I have been struggling with mainly questions where the conclusion is hard to understand. I have tried to drill down different LR question types but I honestly have trouble with any stimulus that I don't quite understand.

I am pretty good with logic and valid/invalid argument forms so I don't think that's the issue. Is this something just common on the older PTs?

I have been struggling on harder problems sets in the curriculum as well so I am not sure how to tackle this problem since doing drills at this point isn't really helping. I usually do fine with the first 10 questions on a LR section but it does downhill from there. I usually don't really move on to another problem set until I have completely understood why I have gotten it wrong but again, it's usually because I didn't identify the flaw with the argument or understand the stimulus.

In BR, I usually get around 17-19 correct on LR out of 25. Again, majority of the ones I get incorrect are near the end of the section.

I decided to change my test date from December to February today and will need more material to study for the next 3 months. I haven't decided if I will be applying for Fall of 2018 or Fall of 2019 entrance; it depends on my PT scores for the next couple of months.

I'm on a very tight budget, but I feel that the Starter package may not be enough to help me ready.

I took the September LSAT (low 150s) and underperformed as compared to my PT scores. I'm aiming to obtain a score in the high 160s or low 170s. Any suggestions?

I have been really struggling with NA questions and am working on understanding them better. I think I have figured something out but I want to confirm it.

When you do SA questions, we have to find the missing piece to make the argument valid. With NA questions we take the entire valid argument and accept the NA that come with it: [p1 + p2 = C] --> NA

So when I am looking at NA questions, do I accept the stimulus as a completed argument and am just looking for something an assumption that must be true/necessary? Almost like a MBT but I'm looking for something subtle?

Thoughts?

So I need to write an addendum for two separate issues it would seem.

The first issue is I need to explain my GPA. I had really bad grades, a long break, and then a 4.0 GPA. This leaves me with a cumulative GPA of 2.7 which I feel I need to explain.

The second issue is that it seems schools would like an addendum that details how I will be a recipient of the Yellow Ribbon Program (tuition coverage program for vets).

Would you write two separate addenda for this or combine it into one?

Is studying for 272 total hours enough for the LSAT? I know it is relative question I'm just curious if it would be that's what my total is going to be at.

Hello! I have had some difficulty with a few vocabulary words in the LR/RC questions. Does anyone have a recommendation for learning vocab in preparation for the exam? I did some flash cards for SAT prep years ago, and that worked for me. I'm just not sure if SAT vocab words are the same as LSAT vocab words.

Thanks in advance :)

Hi everyone!

I am one of those converters from Testmasters to 7sage due to the ridiculously high price to reenroll after the initial LSAT. I scored a 154 on the September LSAT and I am pretty satisfied with that! I am however, trying to score a few points higher for scholarship purposes and to get me into some schools I might not be able to get into with the 154. The goal is 158-160 but I have 1 month to go and I just scored a low 142 on my last PT and feel lost. Does anybody have any advice on what I should do for this last month leading up?

Thank you in advanced!

Can someone clarify the distinction between necessary assumption and sufficient assumption questions. I’ve been reading too in to it and it’s gone over my head. Also, to weaken an argument, you want to find an answer choice that is more or less “or this could be the other meaning too” type correct ?

Hi all 7-sagers! Does anyone have a list or know where I can find a list of Weaken questions that contain causality? I've pin pointed this as an area to work on. Thanks!!

Hi, I just moved to LA (WeHo) from NYC. I am looking for LSAT study partners. My goal is to take the test on November 2018.

I have three LORs (all from professors) and I'm confident in two of them. The third I'm sure is good but I imagine it's not as good as the other two. Should I still assign all three, or just the two?

Hi guys, I am incredibly happy to have found this. I just want some advice. I have pushed off my LSAT 2x and rescheduled w/out actually taking it. This is due to working a ton and just anxiety. I have plenty of money in the bank, already graduated undergrad, and am still living with the fam until the LSAT stuff is done. I signed up for Dec/Feb and I'm studying full-time...quit my dead end job.

My point is that I really REALLY feel unable to take a PT since I'm lost and getting nothing right. I have done the first couple lessons on here and I just want to learn how to do logic games and get right down to the nitty gritty. I also have all the bibles/blueprint books at my disposal. Am I personally best suited to run through this entire course, lesson by lesson? I just feel like it'll take forever for me to get to where i want to be. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey all,

Longtime lurker, first time poster. Thanks in advance if you read all the way through this!

I have been studying since April 2017 to take the December 2017 LSAT. I originally bought the kaplan book (useless!), before discovering powerscore and working through the trilogy. On my last 5 timed PTs I have scored between 170-173 (averages: LG, -2. RC, -4. LR, -2). This inflates my preparedness, as these scores are contingent on guesses between two possible answers on a question without being sure which is correct, and the occasional guess on a question after I have run out of time. Unfortunately, I only very recently learned about the 7Sage blind review method.

Because I still have 2 years to go on my BA, there is no need for a December writing, so I have rescheduled to Feb 2018. I currently have around 15 "clean" PTs left, all between 65 and more recent.

This brings me to my questions:

Because I already have done substantial preparation, what is the best way for my to make use of the the 7Sage program? Would you still recommend at start at the beginning of the course material? Would my previous preparation change the way I should study?

Also, what course pack should I purchase? Would it be worth it to purchase the Ultimate+ package even though I only have a few months until I sit my exam (I'm thinking specifically about the explanations of the newer Preptests)?

Anything else I'm not considering?

Does anyone know the phone number to 7sage?
