example; PT79S4Q5

So they are disagreeing each other about what value means: property value vs. value itself has (not necessarily property value)

Is this correct?

I thought it's so rare that they start to ask those questions again...at some point I think they stopped to ask a vocab question.

Do you think they start to incorporate old questions again?

This is my weakest Question Type, and although I have practiced memorizing all 20 flaws I have trouble recognizing them on the LSAT because I am often stuck between two answer choices. What should I do? What was your method or how do you approach this QT in terms of improvement?

so i got a call from the person who is proctoring me for my accomodated lsat and i find out that instead of my test being on the 3rd of next month its on the 6th, still at 8:30. has anyone experienced anything like this? i dont mind a later date though it does change up my schedule. my big question is that with the extra 3 days, would i be getting the same test as everyone else or would i be getting a new one and will it still have the test section

Hey guys,

I'm Muslim, so I observe the 5 daily prayers. I'm concerned that the LSAT next Saturday will interfere with the midday prayer (Dhuhr), and I can't miss it. The window to pray opens at around 12:15 PM and ends at like 2:00 PM. Do you guys think I'll have time to pray after the exam, assuming it starts at like 9:00 AM, and if not, how would I go about praying during the break? It only takes like 5-7 minutes to pray, but it'll be hard to find a location to pray during the break. Should I just ask one of the proctors to take me somewhere in the building so I don't get in trouble for leaving the vicinity of test area? Has anyone else had a similar concern/experience? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi 7sagers

I'm writing this Dec and possibly Feb from how things have been shaped.

I need some advice from those who have overcome similar problems as mine...

I have been battling LR for the past month or so and I have consistently been only getting around 14-16 right. I speed up to 23 questions, I get 7-8 wrong, I slow down to 18 Q's and still make around 3 mistakes. My goal is to hit atleast 20 on LR and I need some advice on how to get more accurate. As this road block has been keeping me back for sometime! I know one week might not be enough, but still I need a game plan; not just for this week but probably also after Dec for Feb.

Any help would be appreciated...

1 FINAL BR before DECEMBER :)

The Full Schedule

And if you’d like to see the full schedule for upcoming reviews, here it is: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=h14k4idvt1lb4hp5ujds97qt7k%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York

Note:

Basically, I am taking a cab to staten island and will need my phone to call another cab to get home to Brooklyn. I can't leave my phone in my car if I don't have a car, and if I don't bring it at all, should I just ask someone, like one of the proctors, if I can use their phone at the end of the LSAT, so I can get home? A trivial issue, but I would prefer not to be stranded....

I keep doing poorly on the logical reasoning section, especially with weakening questions. What should I do this week to try and help my score? I did really well with the problem sets during the course so I can't figure out why I can't get them right when doing timed practice tests. Any ideas? Thanks!

Near the start of this video lesson in the Causation and Phenomenon-Hypothesis Questions group, JY points out that a stem which says, "Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the ... argument?" is actually a strengthening question and admonishes us not to confuse it with a MSS stem!

Yes, he gives a persuasive reason -- the direction of support is here consistent with strengthening and not with MSS -- but what the hell? If the stem isn't going to indicate the type of the question, why are we reading it first and using it to guide reading of the stimulus?

I reviewed the PT76 LR section today and can't find the experimental section for LR. I had five sections on my PT76 while the 7sage only have four sections' explanation. Any idea?

Have anyone done a PT when you were sick..? How did it affect you?

Cornell law's app says to include a resume that lists: "Work experience, including full-time, part-time, summer."

So this means I should have a longer resume for Cornell that includes pretty much every job I've had right? Sure, I won't include random jobs during high school, but can I go ahead and include the random summer job during college, and some other part-time jobs I've had? I hadn't included these initially due to getting my resume down to one page, but if Cornell wants it all, I'm happy to oblige.

Hey 7Sagers, I want to try something different for PT 79 (September 2016 LSAT). Instead of making videos, I will lead BR sessions.

(Videos will be made but won't be available until after the December LSAT!)

This is aimed squarely at students who are taking the December LSAT and are taking PT 79 as their final PT.

There will be 9 sessions total, 3 for each of LR 1, LR 2, and RC. Each session will focus on only one section of PT 79. All sessions will start at 7:30p EST and end at 10:30p. Multiple sessions are meant to accomodate people's various schedules and to reduce class size per session.

Next Session

All done!

How many of you actually could figure out similar or same game boards as JY's in the first place?

For some reason I thought the key was to recognize we need to use an arrow to represent the transimission...

Anyone used different approach?

As a second time test-taker, I'm experiencing a motivation slump with the core curriculum and can't get through it as efficiently as I'd like to. Everybody's who has successfully completed the CC, how'd you do it? =D

Hi

So I asked my professor to write a letter and she said yes, but until I take the test she will not write one for me...

Does this happen to you?

Because if after the test, it takes a month to see the result and if she starts to write a letter after that it will take more time.

In fact, the other day when I asked her she said she may not be able to write depending on the deadline.

so...when should I ask her then?

I'm not even sure when I will take the test...

Hi All,

This might be a stupid question to ask but is there a common section where the LSAC places their experimental section in the test? For example, is the experimental section more likely to show up in the first 3 sections as opposed to the last 2? Are there some ways to tell if a section is experimental or not? I was just curious to see if they are always random or if there are some patterns as to where they get placed etc... Thanks!

Hey guys,

A 7Sager sent me an email today and I thought you guys could help out! Here it is:

--------------------

I'm preparing to take the LSAT this December so this message is quite urgent.

I've been practicing and I'm feeling confident but I'm having a hard time with the very basic concept of sufficient and necessary conditions. On the surface I understand it but then I read contradictory information.

My question is, well let me use an example.

If I take the LSAT, I must get into Osgoode.

LSAT (sufficient) -->OS (necessary)

Contrapositive

/OS-->/LSAT

If I didn't get into Osgoode I didn't take the LSAT.

-What can I tell you if I got into Osgoode?

-NOTHING because from the necessary condition alone, I could of taken the LSAT or I could of not.

-I get that the occurrence of the necessary condition does not mean the sufficient must also occur, cool.

But I cannot figure out if when:

1. The sufficient condition occurs does the necessary condition have to occur?

2. Can the sufficient condition occur without the necessary condition?

3. What happens when you satisfy the sufficient condition?

For logic games with conditional rules

ex. If F3-->G2

-Let's say "F" is in 4 so I'm correct to say "G" can be anywhere inclucing spot 2?

Please help me clarify.

After finishing both lessons on Weaken Question I finished feeling overwhelmed by the amount of strategies to attack a Weaken question. We have three (1) Causation (2) Assumption (3) Problem and hypothesis.

I feel like I still don't have a strong grasp of the strategies. Does anyone has a cheat sheet or anything similar that shows a Big Picture ? If not if anyone is interested I will probably be making one tonight.

Hey,

I recently ordered practice 79 but it doesn't look like its going to ship in time for me to receive it by the December 3rd LSAT DATE. Are there any games similar to the virus game that I can use to prepare for a game like that?

The subject step is mentioned once in Logical Reasoning General Approach as the first step after identifying that the stimulus does not contain an argument;

And it is mentioned twice in Logical Reasoning Flow Chart: once as above, but then again, for all question types, just before scanning answer choices for ones to be eliminated.

What does it mean?

Hey there,

Anyone have any suggestions on where I can (quickly) purchase PT 79? I am hoping to have it in time to write before the December exam. I am already on the wait-list for Amazon where it is out of stock (Canada).

U.S. Amazon usually doesn't ship to where I am in Canada.

Thanks in advance!

The BR meeting quit unexpectedly, I was in the middle of the question with DUE, are you here???

Hi

So I think I know the fundamentals of LR but I still miss questions on the ones that I should not have missed...

I do choose very carefully when I do timed-test...why does this happen???

I do review throughout after taking the test but this continues for months and I feel very disappointed...

People say it takes time to see improvement but why?

If you know fundamentals, shouldn't you see improvements very soon??

If not, doesn't that mean you still do not understand the basics?

I don't know whether my way of reviewing is not good or it just takes time or...just frustrating...

When I first started studying for the LSAT in June of this year, I went -12 on my LG diagnostic. After dredging through a BluePrint course for three months, I was not seeing any improvement, despite my drilling and constant practice. Nothing clicked. The supposed "easiest section to improve on" was not the case for me, and I was in total disbelief when people told me "You'll eventually enjoy logic games." It didn't make sense because, well, it's really hard to enjoy something you're terrible at!

At the beginning of October, I found out about 7sage through TLS and started tuning in. I signed up for the core curriculum exclusively for JY's advice. I took the time to go through all of the Lawgic materials. I took it seriously when JY said things like "If you don't understand this, you need to go back to the (x) section and review your fundamentals" before listening to the explanations. After a month of review, I started doing LG again. I drilled and practiced like an animal, fool proofed games, tracked my timing, and filled an entire notebook.

I accomplished my first -0 on LG on PT 59. Yesterday, I went -0 on PT 78. Now LG and I are friends.

@"J.Y. Ping" Thank you!
