So I am currently working on incorporating the memory method into RC and have had mixed results. I'm losing a lot of time on the questions portion. When y'all go through the AC's, once you find the correct one do you then skip the rest of the AC's or read the rest just in case?

I'm early on in the process but I'm ranging from 30 secs over to hitting 5:09 on the questions. Just want to see how everyone else is doing it.

Hi all,

I apologize in advance if these are silly questions. What is the difference between drilling and taking a full Prep Test? How do you know which you need to do more of? Is drilling more for the days you get off work & school and are totally wiped out, so save the full PT for the weekend? Is drilling better for the older PTs? or? I am currently still in the Core Curriculum but I wanted to clarify my understanding before I finished the curriculum and started regularly doing PTs.

Thank you in advance!

Hello, all!

After personal reasons forced me to step away from the LSAT for some time, I'm just now getting back into the swing of things. What was clear to me back then is not as clear to me now. Thus, I must ask: why can't we infer "B most A" from the statement "A most B"? Perhaps what I'm struggling most to grasp is this: what does one assume in making this erroneous inference?

Thank you all for your time!

It does not say on some law school instructions...how many pages to write in this case?

Can I get some feedback on law school in Florida and what you guys think? I'm considering UF's law school and FIU but I'm open to all other options as well. FSU is a great school as well. But what benefits would I have picking one over the other? There are many factors to consider but can someone jump in and throw their two cents of knowledge. All feedbacks are welcome!

Anyone willing to review and provide feedback to my personal statement?

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation before. Last Saturday my test center was closed due to severe weather and I have yet to receive any information from LSAC as to whether or not there will be a make up test.

Hi all,

Blind reviewing the aforementioned Prep Test and having trouble with PT.63.S.1.Q.10. I almost never have these kinds of very basic questions below (i.e., what exactly is the conclusion?) But bear with me, I found this problem sneaky.

"Thus, Ms. Sandstrom should pay for this damage if, as the Mendelssohn claim, she could have reasonably expected that the column would lead people to damage the Mendel's farm."

Is this entire last sentence of the stimulus the conclusion? Or is the conclusion only the first clause: "Thus, Ms. Sandstrom should pay for the damage"? Does that have something to do with why A is the right answer?

Why is D incorrect?

Note: I've already watched JY's explanation videos but would appreciate if someone could thoroughly break the stimulus down and answer the 2 questions I have above. Thank you SO much in advance!

Is there a summary PDF of the valid and invalid argument forms?

Thank You!

Hi Guys,

I am having a bit of difficulty with this question.

https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/banana-epidemics-na-question/

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-34-section-3-question-03/

It's the banana question.

I have a hard time distinguish B. I mean, it is a sufficient assumption, yet it is the correct answer for the necessary assumption too.

I am feeling a bit, how do you call it, mumble jumble right now.

Can any one help to explain?

Hi guys,

I was wondering if you wondered the same thing when you entered into this lesson question:

https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/regulating-the-banks-na-question/

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-30-section-2-question-15/

Is it correct if I translate the argument into a logic as:

Tightening-->Loan Less-->Economic Downturn

Tightening

Conclusion: Economic downturn

Aside of this logical flaw, the problem is wrong due to temporal causation flaw.

Am I correct about this?

If so, I guess you can still generate answer choice if the argument is bad as a start even logically invalid?

Thanks,

Panda

My LR score recently improved from consistent -8,6 to -3,2

At this period, focusing on specific question types in detail really helped

However, ever since my score improved to -3 range I stopped seeing any pattern in questions that I miss

and I am actually amazed by the fact that its almost always 3 questions wrong per section no matter what type it is.

(as if I am destined to miss 3...)

Would there be an advice on closing the gap from -3 to perhaps 0?

I took a cold kaplan PT and got a 134 (i know its not a real LSAT exam now) so I started study with 7sage for 6 months and took another PT. I got a 149 w/o a bubble sheet and a 143 with. For the last 5 exams Ive been suck between 146-148 and feel horrible after each PT. I tried BR but I found looking over the answer's I got wrong on the computer without knowing which AC I got wrong was more helpful. I don't know what to do. Any advice? I hope to get a 160

Hi all,

As JY has mentioned in many of his videos we should be expecting a "weird game" on the new LSATs, and if it doesn't appear, it's an added bonus.

That being said, where could I find a list of "weird games" to practice?

Also, have the "weird games" on the recent LSATs (PT's in the late 70's and early 80's) been similar to any other games you have seen in the past?

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have a list of "math" questions for the LR? I seem to be struggling. Thanks!

Hello everyone, this may sound or seem like a dumb questions, but where do I find: All PrepTests in Starter (36 - 44) are now viewable and printable as DRM protected e-docs? And what does DRM mean? Thanks.

Columbia's application indicates that "the résumé should include a summary of written scholarships, presentations..." What are these exactly in the undergraduate sense? For someone who just did an undergrad degree, what count as "written scholarships"? And we've all done various presentations for classes but what kind of presentations are we to include here? Anyone familiar with Columbia has an idea on this? Thank you.

Apologies for the dramatic title (and for maybe getting that song from Buffy stuck in your head), but I could really use some advice.

Background:

I took the February LSAT and feel very confident about my performance in 4/5 sections... but on the 5th, I know I missed at least 4 questions. I made an absolute rookie mistake, something I haven't done for months: I skipped over a %$*%ing rule when reading the prompt for Game 3. I just passed right by it like it didn't exist.

I caught my mistake 3 questions into the game, but between redoing the set-up and the questions, I only had 6 minutes left for the last game. I literally bubbled in 3 random choices for the last questions on the scantron when I heard the proctor start the "put your pencils down" sentence, and I was rough-guessing on the other questions anyway.

I've accepted my February score isn't going to be what I need.

...

(mostly accepted it. Okay, there's some small part of me that still hopes that, given the recent flurry of statistically improbable events, maybe I'll luck into a 175. But that small part is stupid, so I'm trying to ignore it)

Current Issue:

I've registered for June, but I'm feeling a bit lost in terms of how to structure my studying. I mean, I feel REALLY good about the rest of how the rest of the test went. I was PTing between 175-179 for my last 10 practice tests. When practicing, I took two 4 section tests back-to-back with a 15 min break between, and the actual test felt short in comparison. With the exception of that one, stupid mistake, I really feel I would have gotten the score I was hoping for out of Feburary. (Not that it matters, but I killed it on the first 2 games on the real LG section and I finished the experimental LG section with time to spare).

So what should I do? Go through all the curriculum again? Take some time off? I had such a definitive plan studying for the February test, now I just feel lost. I'm NEVER going to make the mistake again of not checking off the rules as I diagram them, but how do I prevent myself from making a new, exciting, and equally obvious mistake?

I have PTs 36 - 55 and PT 80 left fresh (took 56-79); I work full-time Tues-Sat, and I'm in CA which makes joining a BR group tough since it seems like most groups are on EST.

Anyway, reading over what I just wrote, it's clear that the main issue is likely just how disheartened I feel. The months of studying, going MIA on my friends, abdicating 90% of household responsibilities to my saint of a spouse, going to bed at 9pm every night: all of that effort and I blew it on the dumbest mistake. It's hard to brush that off and start again, though I know I have to.

###So, good people of 7Sage, what are my next steps? How do I regroup, and what does that look like? Thanks for reading this novella, I really appreciate any and all advice you have to give :)

Hi all,

I took the LSAT for the first time last Saturday. I can't stop thinking about it. Sometimes I'll wake up and think I did fantastic, other times thinking I probably got destroyed. I probably play out the "worst case" and "best case" scenario in my head about 20x per day.

Is this normal? I was prepping at about 168 over the past month and honestly I could have gotten anywhere between high 150 and high 160. (the comparative reading passage was probably the hardest passage I have ever encountered, up there with space passage from PT76). If LSAC was smart (and at the same time cruel!) they'd give us an option to pay to get the results quicker! They'd be making bank.

Any other test takers going crazy like me!?

I started with PT38 earlier this month and I finished PT40 yesterday. I’m taking June 2017, and I'm planning on taking 2 or 3 PrepTests a week in order. Should I start taking PrepTests around PT60s?

Hi fellow scholars!

I have a long commute to work (about 40 mins) and in between studying on my own, I was curious if anyone had any audio books or critical thinking excercises that could be listened to on my drive. I feel like it's such a waste of time when I could be listening to something that could help me during my studies.

Thank you!

I know that the University of Chicago has a fairly conservative undergraduate campus and I come from a pretty conservative school. What are some other well-known conservative campuses?

Has anyone taken an Indian LSAT?

I have taken almost every LSAT released while preparing to write my first LSAT lsat December.

Surfing on the internet, I have noticed that there are 4 Indian LSATs available. Although I have heard a few times from here and there that Indian LSATs are much easier than our USA and Canada LSAT, after taking the second one (the first one was the same with Sample LSAT), I felt that this one is not that much easier, maybe only a little.

I would love to know what others think about this one, especially about the second one.
