I was pretty sure there was a Necessary Assumptions webinar scheduled for 5pm ET today? Could someone please confirm if this was cancelled?

Hey everyone!

I am about to take the June 2007 prep test as a diagnostic and came across a comment by someone that was unanswered but that I also didn't know the answer to and am wondering myself.

"I have taken the LG section in this PT before although I only have a vague memory of the majority of the games. Should I re-take this PT?

Also, how much time should you leave between taking a full-length timed PT and blind reviewing it? Should you only give yourself enough time to go get some food, or wait to review it the next day? Lastly, should you review the PT all at once, or just as much as you can handle?

I know these questions seem silly, but I am really trying to develop good habits and stick to them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!"

Thoughts? Specifically wondering what experienced people like JY, Jon, etc think about this.

I barely see anyone on here with the Starter pack except maybe one or two of us lol. How much of a disadvantage am I putting myself under compared to even a premium course? I am enjoying my experience thus far and my diagnostic was in the 140s. Level-headed thoughts, please? Anyone on here successfully make their way to 165+ with the Starter course?

I took it in October 2015. Did well but considering taking it again this Fall to try to get a few more points. I want to take the last couple PT's to see if it's with the try. I haven't started studying but I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations on the best ways to get back into it and shake off the rust?

Anyone know of any games that are challenging relative ordering? I have a packet with several relative ordering games [that I generally consider easy but sometimes prone to really silly errors], but I recently read some of the Manhattan LSAT book and they did PT51S4G2 which is substantially harder than others I have seen. In the end, I got it all right, but I'm trying to reinforce the chapter now.

Note:

Dear 7Sagers,

Quick announcement here: We're making changes to Ultimate+

(1) All U+ accounts will have access to video explanations for PTs 1 through Present (77) where "Present" will be updated to reflect the addition of new PTs from LSAC over time. Now, this is not going to happen indefinitely. (Like we're not going to continue this policy through PT 145.) But, for the foreseeable future, we're not changing this policy. No action required on your part - this will be added automatically.

(2) All U+ accounts will soon have access to explanations for PTs A, B, C, and C2. No action required on your part - this will also be added automatically.

(3) All U+ accounts will have access to David Busis' Admissions Starter course. We announced this here. Please email Dillon to have this added to your U+ account. (dillon@7sage.com) David is an amazing editor, writer, and teacher.

If you'd like to upgrade to U+ in order to get these addition of course you may do so.

Lastly, LSAC will release PT 145 about 23 years from now assuming well, lots of things. Crazy!

I have a pretty weird situation on my hands...

In my past 5 PTs I have increased my score, ultimately leading up to the highest score I've ever achieved (WOOHOO!). I was scheduled to take another PT this week but it was a train wreck in the first section, my timing was sooooo bad, I damn-near circled the entire section for BR. I decided to not finish the PT because I was clearly off my game. To be honest, it felt like it was my first time seeing an LR question. Leading up to the PT I was as motivated as ever: drilling/reviewing/the usual, etc... However, that ONE section of that unfinished PT really rattled me; so much so that my study sessions in the following days were so unmotivated and discouraging, I didn't put my heart into it (sorry for the cliche). If I had to describe how I feel, I'd say that I feel as if I'm suffering from some type of brain fog, in other words I'm having trouble going through the motions, which is weird since just a week ago I had scored the highest I had ever scored! Has this happened to anyone before?

I don't really think I'm burnt out, I've burnt out once (leading up to the December '15 test), so I feel like I know what it's like.

I have a 10-day vacation starting on monday that I've been planning with family for quite some time and I'm wondering if my brain subconsciously took off before I did. If so, I'm hoping that the time off will help me in some way.

I'm sure there has to be some of you taking the September LSAT, so why aren't we communicating?

OK so I know I can get prep tests 36-38 in the actual prep test books (I am going to order that book today), but where the heck do I find 39-44??? I am trying to get those ordered now so I can have them when I am ready to start taking prep tests... if this has been answered previously sorry I just couldn't find it. Thanks guys! I know I ask a ton of random questions :)

Hi,

So I am riding out a waitlist and received a second email from the school asking for continued interest. I sent one LOCI but am wondering what should the content be of the second? Anyone been through this and might have some suggestions? Any thoughts much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I need some advice about whether to take the June 2016 LSAT (not in the US). As for my current range, I could hit a desired score with a bit of luck, but I would fall short by 1-3 points (or more) under normal circumstances. The test is in 10 days.

In this case, would it still be better to take the June LSAT as a "trial run" so that I will be less anxious and be more comfortable with testing conditions in September? Or should I just take the test in September when I feel ready?

I know schools don't view cancellations as negatively as they used to before, and I don't plan to take the test more than three times so wasting one take would not be so bad, but still I guess it would be ideal to have just one score on the record...

Thankfully, things are starting to click in regards to logical reasoning... I have a long uphill battle but for the most part I am starting to get somewhat comfortable with the type of questions.... I have just made one observation on LR questions however... I have picked up that "extreme words" are often not the correct question choice correct? Meaning.. words like only, never, always...

I am just trying to verify this before I train myself to think this way and then come to find out... I am way wrong. This whole process is cleaning out some serious cobwebs so if my question is weird that is why.

I also found that I was often falling for answers with these words in them, and the choices were wrong. I am constantly getting trapped by the LSAT haha I am just hoping I figure all those traps out prior to taking the actual LSAT :) Thanks guys!

From "LSAT Analytics", I can select the finished PTs..then I can select/flag the questions that I got wrong. These questions are normally listed as "High priority" so I could easily sort them out. However, I can't select these questions and generate a separate list only made of these questions...like I could do that for the selected questions from the 'LSAT Question Bank"..

This function would be extremely helpful for LR questions..I am not sure if I miss any functions of 7sage.. Thank you for your help.

**Admin edit:** You can now print questions in PDF from the Question Bank:

Hi everyone,

So I printed out all my logic games and put them in sheet protectors so I could do the games with a fine-tip dry erase pen. It beats having to print massive amounts of paper for each game..Instead, I just erase everything after each attempt. It's just like having a brand new game. But after a few weeks of doing this, it occurred to me that I may be completely missing something about this method, that it may be inherently flawed. Does anyone have any feedback on using this method? Obviously it's not the same as taking pencil to paper, but it has saved me the trouble of printing...thanks for the feedback!

This is a Necessary Assumption question. Could someone explain how Answer B is incorrect and Answer D is correct?

Answer B speaks to the gap (Detergent formulated for front-load dissolves more readily). Negating Answer B (Detergent formulated for front-load does NOT dissolve more readily) wrecks the conclusion because it removes the salient difference compared to ordinary detergent that the argument makes.

In contrast, Answer D provides a Sufficient Assumption to a Necessary Assumption question. Negating Answer D (It's not true that [detergent gets clothes really clean --> detergent dissolves readily in washer]) does not wreck the conclusion. Perhaps a detergent formulated for FLW simply requires less water to be just as effective as an ordinary detergent in a TLW. Or perhaps a detergent formulated for FLW has a special cleaning agent to compensate for not dissolving as readily. So on and so forth: In all cases, Sufficient does not equal Necessary.

Furthermore, working from wrong-to-right I eliminated Answer D as a trap. Answer D provides a "firmer" (conditional guarantee!) response more appropriate to a SA question. In contrast, Answer B provides a "softer" (comparative) response appropriate to most NA questions.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I am looking for a possible group or single study buddy in the Houston area

Studying would be for the Sept LSAT test. I am looking for anyone serious on studying and aiming a 170 +.

Yesterday I finallyyy got my Preptests 52-77 in the mail. I put them away and told myself I wouldn't take one until next week because that's what the study schedule I'm on says to do but I've been studying for almost 2 months and haven't taken another PT since my diagnostic and I'm really itching to take one just to see if there's been any signicificant improvement.... Would this be a waste of a perfectly good PT?

See everyone tonight!

I make a bubbling error nearly every practice test. In fact, I can't recall, the last time I have not made a bubbling error. I record my answers on the Analytics page as they are on the Scantron because I will likely perform on the real test as I do on practice tests (as I have already learned from taking a real test and making a Scantron error). This way, my score reflects not which answers I circle in the booklet, but which answers I successfully record on the Scantron and are ultimately used in my real score.

How do you score PT bubbling errors (if you make any at all... if that's the case, please share your bubble mojo)?

A note, I bubble and double-check after every game, after every RC section, and once before turning the page in an LR section. I'm thinking of changing my strategy, as it's clearly not working for me.

Hello, I've been studying rather ineffectively on my own since January until May, which was when I got 7Sage. Although I must say my understanding and ability to answer questions correctly greatly increased many fold, I am struggling with the level 5 hardest questions, such as RC and LR (THIS one especially). Like many people, I would want to get a 170+ (And I truly believe 7Sage is able to help many people including myself in doing this), I do know that it is best to be able to tackle every question possible to maximize those chances. Is there a specific strategy in tackling these? Or is it the same standard core curriculum strategies, but to a mastery level form? (And extremely careful reading...) I'm doing pretty well on everything else, but once I go up against these level 5 questions, I get destroyed, with the occasional correct one or two.

On another note, I intend on taking the September LSAT. I'm just wondering if 40 hour week study sessions throughout the summer will help me get to the 170+ area.
