PT16-S1-G1, trying to setup the rules with conditionals and having a bit of an issue trying to figure out why Rule 3 " Neither S nor W can be added to the same class as Y" is a biconditional for S-Y and S-W instead of just a single conditional. Biconditionals are either/or/but not both and I cannot for the the life of me back that out from this conditional statement. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can work out S-->/Y based on group 4 negate necessary but that's all........

I need to submit to an explanation I got for a minor warning about guests when my buddy visited me freshman year of college AND I'd like to add an LSAT addendum I recently wrote (16 point difference). What do you guys think? It is considered bad form to submit an addendum after you have completed and sent in your application about 2 weeks earlier? This would be for just one application I sent in earlier than the rest...
Link to question and explanation:
https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-56-section-2-question-24/
I watched J.Y.s explanation and he says that we're presuming the documents were in fact opened. But, is it really a presumption when the author explicitly says "WHEN the document was opened"? The author says when (in other words "if") the document is opened, then Y results. And then with (A), we're just confirming the sufficient condition, saying yes it was opened. Is that considered an assumption?
I have been working on logic games really hard. Yes, I have made vast improvements that I am happy with. However, I notice that on logic games from approximately 1990’s to early 2000’s, many of the games seem “weird.” In short, I do a lot better with the more recent games.
Is this something that I should be worried about???
We’re doing a double!!!!

June BR Group Schedule: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/6171/june-test-takers-group-br-schedule-updated
NOTE: I front-loaded the PT 70 - 75 because I believe that people need to get eyes on 70s sooner rather than later. We’ll still have PT 76 and 77 available to PT in May. Trust me when I say it is worth it to do these tests twice. And if you don’t feel comfortable hitting the 70s yet, don’t worry. We’re going to repeat this cycle of PT 70-75 at the end of February just in case.

Note:
I went through the cirriculum, and now I am left with taking exams. I still am not comfortable with games and I would like to revisit parts of the cirriculum for some of the LR questions that I have issues with. And obviously since I have done all of the RC sections I will just do some from extra exams that I bought. I would like to spend another month doing the LG bundles from exams 1-35 (which I have not had a chance to do, because I was heavily involved learning the cirriculum). Also I think revisiting some of the LR, if not all of the LR lessons and the practice problems will help me grasp a quicker understanding of the cirriculum. So I will not be learning every single lesson again from scratch because I think that would be a waste. I am mainly doing this to give myself time to get comfortable with games because the cirriculum did not help so much with games and I was advised by @Pacifico to do the bundles and until I feel comfortable then I should begin PTing.
The biggest issue of course is time, meaning I will have 3 months left of PTing and not 4 months. But I feel like if I start now I will jsut waste exams. I believe that I need another month to get better at this test. So is it an issue to do 3 PTs a week from the second half of March to June? I feel like maybe I can start with two for the first couple weeks and then I can get rolling to 3 a week. I honestly just feel like right now going into the exams with a bad foundation for games will only hurt my score. Plus I can review LR lessons for a whole month as well as do 90-95 percent of the game bundles, so isnt it a win/win?
Id rather take 3 PTs a week and feel like I am comfortable to take them, rather than 2 a week and just bomb the game sections.
When entering my pretest answers in the analytics , I put B on all the questions that I did not have time to get to. Is this ok still to find out my weakest areas in the pre-test sections?
I've studied for many months and I'm really hoping that 7sage helps me out a lot. I've self studied the PS bibles and gone through a BP prep course. I've even taken a full year off to work and completely stop studying the LSAT. My fault is that I did not retain a lot of techniques and strategies with such a lengthy break, and while material is familiar, a lot of it still feels mildly new. Another fault of mine back with my pre-7sage LSAT prep is my lack of focus and dedication.
I'm 1-2 weeks away from reaching the portion of the course that is filled with 2-3 prep tests a week until my actual test date in June. I'm wondering about the rate of improvement some of you have seen with the set study schedule in place.
I prefer to work games that I have already practiced or done in a PT. I find it is just the best way to warm up my brain and get into LSAT mode. How do the rest of you psyche yourselves up?
were just getting the item response answer sheet (not the actual test to look at) for FEB 16 LSAT right?

If need be, I plan on taking the LSAT for a fourth time.. (depending on feb score)
My first take was in June 2014, since then I've taken it two more times. Will I be able to take it again June 2016? Does that follow the 3 times in 2 years rule? I believe I read it is 2 years from your first write?
Most A are C; Most B are C, can we make the link that "some A are B"?
I want 7sage stickers to rock on my mac yo.
Hey guys! Had a student email me with a question and I thought you could help them out. Here it is:
---------------------
Currently I am waitlisted at one of my top schools for the Fall of 2016. I took the LSAT once and scored a 160 and I am wondering if your students often utilize the June LSAT to get off the waitlist. The first time I used Blueprint LSAT Prep, but I am looking for a different prep course this time around and I have pretty much heard all positive reviews about this course. If you could advise that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hey! Just a quick question. I sat for the Feb test last weekend and had a less than desirable testing situation. First, I had submitted all proper documentation for a biographical change through lsac. When I arrived I was told that since my name did not match the roster I wasn't going to be admitted. I understand that there are rules about things like this, but it made me even more anxious thinking I wasn't even going to be admitted. After going through the rule book multiple times, they finally called lsac and were told that I could be admitted. This threw me off my game for the first section of the exam. Then as I was starting to get into rhythm a kid in the room started making snoring noises...I know right how could you fall asleep during this test?? So during the break the proctor came to me and apologized for that noises and they were sorry it was distracting me (I guess my glances gave away my frustration). And then to top all of that off I overheard one of the proctors tell another test taker that he was going to have to dismiss him since the proctor heard his phone go off; however, the student was allowed to finish taking the exam and was bragging about having a phone but still getting to finish the test. So my question is, should I file a complaint about the testing conditions of this test? They said your results can be held due to an investigation and I really don't want to delay even though I know I did horrible. Any advice would be wonderful!!
Dear 7Sagers,
Do you give your PS a title? Why or why not? I can't decide right now..
Thank you!
I am looking at the LSAT Prep book distributed by Kaplan and I am already confused about the material. (I have not purchased a 7Sage course yet as I'm on the trial, so I hope it is okay that I am already asking questions). The first chapter is about LSAT Reasoning and Levels of Truth (true, false, and possible). I know this may sound stupid since we already think about Levels of Truth in our daily lives, but I'm really not understanding the material based on the way they have worded things...
The book says that possible can be described as "could be true" and "could be false". Can a statement possibly be true and possibly be false at the same time, or is it just one or the other? For example, one "question stem" they gave was "Which of the following must be true?" The analysis was the answer must be true and "Therefore, the four wrong answers must be false, or are merely possible (i.e., could be false)." When they said the wrong answers could be "merely possible (i.e., could be false)", why did they not describe "merely possible" as could be false OR could be true? Is it because a could be true statement can be proven to be false?
Another example is when they ask the question, "Which of the following could be true?" The analysis was the answer could be true and that a "must be true" answer would also fit. Why is this? Isn't a "must be true" answer different from "could be true"? It has already been proven that it is true...
In other words, can a statement possibly be false or possibly be true at the same time, or is it just one or the other? Can a statement ALWAYS "possibly be true" and "must be true" at the same time?
I guess if I am getting tripped up on such a simple concept maybe I should just give up now...I really overthink things...
Thank you!

Hi all, I've been accepted into my first top 20 school, and was wondering what the procedure for merit based scholarships usually looks like. Should I take it that as I didn't receive any scholarship info right off the bat (I was accepted Friday) that it isn't coming. Or is there sometimes a delay? Any info would be appreciated, thanks.
