Hey,

I know that there were lessons on denying existential quantifiers, but I couldn't find one for the universal quantifiers...

Can you please tell me how to deny statements with existential quantifiers?

Thanks

I had it down to A and D and chose D. With that said, can someone destroy my reasoning for why A is not the right answer so that this sticks...

Ok, so what if pollen is transported from one region to another by wind, and human movement, we would have to assume that the pollen transferred is indistinguishable from the pollen that is KNOWN to have been unique to that area.

June BR Group Schedule: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/6171/june-test-takers-group-br-schedule-updated

Note: these tests (PTs 29-35) are part of the 7Sage curriculum and, for all intents and purposes, are retakes. That being said, I think it’s a great way to build up our LSAT fluency by taking an actual PT without having to use the modern tests until we absolutely have to. Another way of thinking about this is we are essentially going to do BR groups of the 7Sage curriculum, something I know a lot of students have requested. Some people might disagree with me, but I don’t think it wouldn't be a waste of time or effort for someone who is still working through the curriculum to do this PT, BR it and then meet up for the call.

NOTE: Great News! Starting in January, we’ll be using GoToMeeting for all of our BR group needs. (It’s also why we’ve already released the link to the workshop!) More details to come!

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

Be sure to announce in the comments which group(s) you’re planning on attending.

WORKSHOP NOTES:

.

I place a because after the statements of interest in the stimulus and the statement that makes sense with a because coming after it I deem to be the conclusion. Is this an ideal strategy for argument labeling and mp questions?

I'm confused how to write the conditional logic for this. Can somebody please explain this? When I see how the video skipped over labeling the first sentence like a premise, I got confused why he then uses it in conditional logic (TMU---> IASC)? I also got confused with what to do with the third sentence. I thought its a conclusion because of the keywords thus, until I got to the last sentence. I understand how he got the conclusion as /TMU.

Will it hurt me if I don't fill out the areas that I am not required to fill out on an application?

I wrote out my conditional for answer choice E as this:

Independent--> (/TF and EB)

Is that ok?

The video wrote Independent and /TF--> EB.

I was just curious if anyone knows much about the loan forgiveness for those who opt to practice public interest law. Is it a program sponsored by the individual schools, the employers (gvmt, non-profit etc)? Do you know if there are a lot of restrictions involved? Is anyone planning on utilizing this option?

So where is the key piece of evidence that I should really focus on in this question? The conditional is throwing me off.

http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-52-section-1-question-10/

If I have someone writing a rec letter, is he allowed to submit two letters (one that is school specific and one that is general for all law schools)? Would I send him the rec letter request twice?

Please let me know!!

I'm doing really badly on this question type. I am going to rewatch the videos and lesson for this question type, but does anyone have any advice on how I can improve?

When I did this question type in the past, I got frustrated and skipped to the next question type, but this time I want to master it and do well on it. If someone could give me some constructive advice, I would be most appreciative!

Hey friends—

I'm working on a special something-something. I need your help!

In the comments, please share (ranging from one-word answers to full lengthy posts) your answer[s] to this question:

What makes 7sage unique?

Here are some examples:

—Complicated ideas broken down in simple digestible language.

—A dose of inspiration to help you push through the pain and self-doubt.

—An honest approach that presumes that you have the capacity to understand even the hardest questions on the LSAT.

But we want to know ... what makes 7sage unique FOR YOU? Any part of the 7sage experience—from the analytics to the forums to the problem sets to the Dragon Ball analogies.

So, thus far I've figured out one of my biggest problems is that I have trouble taking PTs as if it were a real test day setting. I was looking for courses that just offered weekly live-proctor settings, unfortunately I had no such luck (unless I were to enroll in a full course, and sell a kidney).

Does anyone know of a course or group that does just live proctored LSAT PTs? If not, would anyone in the San Antonio - Austin area be interested in getting together every so often (weekly, bi-weekly or monthly even) to take live proctored PTs??

I know of a few class rooms here in San Antonio we can use, and a few people willing to proctor. I did this alone once and it went really well. But I figure if I'm going to go through the trouble of setting up live proctored PTs, other people should benefit too.

Any who, I'd appreciate it if someone let me know if they know of groups out there already meeting for PTs, or if anyone is interested in starting one. :)

Mystery loves company....I don't really study with people but it will be great to have a study buddy to hold each other accountable. We could meet up in public areas like cafes...library (preference)....etc. DM me if interested. Please only serious ppl...no crazy ppl. : )

I'm currently scoring in the low 160s, aiming for a 170. I want to know what you guys do for skipping questions and when you skip questions in LR. Do you usually read the stimulus and immediately skip if you didn't understand, etc? Do you not skip until you read the answer choices? Is there some type of strategy where you do all the easier ones like 1-14 and then the last 2-3 questions in the section which tend to be easier. Thanks

Also, I'd like to know if most are you are reading the stimulus once, twice, three times, etc in general to answer a tougher ?.

I did not understand how and why he figured out which parts of the sentences he could use to make conditional statements from the video. He did not use conditional logic for the first sentence even though it had key words "not" and "are".

His diagram had:

LECC--> ELCI

ELCI--> LCI

LCI--> IH

I don't understand how he took from the sentence, "many people would do so" and instead wrote LCI. I'm just confused.

Hey everyone, I wanted to see if anyone could share some insight on their strategy for Feb. I took the test in Dec. but cancelled the score. Anyway, I was averaging around 164/168BR through pt 69, then dipped to 160/164BR through Pts 70-76. I believe I have a stronghold over LR.. I feel like I just haven't fully adjusted to the nuances with the 70+ tests. That's not to say they're harder per se, but one can't deny a subtle shift in LR stimuli and harder RC passages --- sans the most recent administration ;) . I average around -5.4 for LR, -7.4 for games... and -9.7 for RC on PTs 70-76. Where do you guys think I can gain the biggest improvement in time for the feb exam? Should I focus on games? I know I can do better with RC, but I feel like I can make quicker gains in the other sections... thoughts? Should I start PTing asap or in Jan?

Hello Fellow 7Sagers,

I was recently emailed by the Georgetown Law Admissions Office asking if I would like to participate in an in-person interview with an alumni from the Law Center (of course I said yes!). I was wondering if anyone could provide any insight into the kinds of questions to expect or were actually asked during the interview. Thanks in advance!

I started prepping for the LSAT about 2 weeks ago in hopes of being ready for the Feb 2016 test and apply late in the cycle. I've been going through the video lecture (about 20 hours in) and just took my first PT (2007 LSAC Practice Test) this morning. I scored 164 which was a little disappointing since I am aiming to score 99% (174+). What is a realistic score increase by the February exam date assuming I continue to study 3-5 hours a day (I have a full time job)?

Note:

I'm studying the curriculum and found the negation of "all" a little confusing.

I understand that the logical opposite of "some" is just "none."

But isn't "not all" the negation of "all"?

In other words, does "some... not..." mean the same thing as "not all"?

Thank you very much!
