I have a few questions for the regular BR folks. I think I need to implement these BR calls into my studies if only to keep me on track with PT. I've only attended maybe 2 calls because I didn't feel like I was benefiting. Not that the group is useless, it's just that I was having a hard time following I guess. I'll explain because that didn't even may sense as I was typing it. When I complete the test I come to the BR session with the questions that I've circled and still had issues with during my own BR. This is where my issue begins. When going over my question with the group I have no idea what or why I was thinking what I was thinking during the PT or BR. Going over the stimulus and AC seem rushed because you can't hold up everybody for 5 mins on your question especially if you're the only one with an issue on that question. Eventually someone tells you why the right AC is right, but I'm not able to digest that at that moment. Yes I could write down why I chose my AC and read that during the session but I just have a hard time truly comprehending the right and wrong AC when I don't really remember the stimulus. Does this sound similar for anyone else? What do the regulars do to prepare for BR calls?

Are we supposed to only bring ONE item? (ie banana, energy bar, etc)

I want to bring a banana, some chocolate pieces, and a CLIF bar.

I am getting slightly paranoid before this test.

I have never worn a watch or checked on my time when taking a PT. I always thought it would throw me off my game and distract me to check on the time. Now I am taking the LSAT tomorrow and seeing everyone say they're going to wear a watch. Need advice on whether I should go out and buy one or not. Also I feel like my test center may have a clock on the wall. During the LSAT do the proctors write on the board what time we start and stop a section at?

I am surprised to learn that we have a number of limitations on how we can use the purchased PTs from LSAC. Basically, no copying, no reselling, etc. Have anyone considered the first sale doctrine for copyrighted material. "The first sale doctrine, codified at 17 U.S.C. § 109, provides that an individual who knowingly purchases a copy of a copyrighted work from the copyright holder receives the right to sell, display or otherwise dispose of that particular copy, notwithstanding the interests of the copyright owner." So, I am curious why this doctrine does not apply in the context of the Practice Tests!?

So I have heard the first 10 questions are easiest and you should just pick the ans. you think correct without seeing other choices bc correct ans is so obvious...

Is this still true today?

And if so on average how long do you take per question in this range?

Thanks

I just wanted a little clarification on the correct answer. I previously chose A as my answer choice, however the correct answer is E. The reason why I didn't choose E is because E refers to "cultural trends". Would cultural trends apply to fashion trends that the stimulus was referring to? I was a bit skeptical about this and therefore got it wrong :( Please explain! Thank you :)

Hey guys,

Got this email in today from a 7Sager and I thought you could help! Here it is:

Hi there!

I have been watching your Logic Games explanations for a while but just recently for the first time I saw a game with the "chart"... none of the prep books I used ever mentioned a "chart" but when I watch your explanations I'm thinking "wow these charts are so much more organized and helpful!"

BUT my test is in 3 days...lol and I am not used to thinking right away to do this kind of chart.. do you have any tips at all as to when I should be triggered to make one of these charts?

Thank you in advance.

So for some reason I treated this as conditional question.

So I thought

Premise: (stimulus)

A (sickly birds)→(generally )smaller spleens

killed by predators→(generally) smaller spleens

Conclusion: (answer choice) (D)

Sickly birds→(generally)killed by predators

Assumption

killed by predators→(generally) sickly birds

....I was confused.

I should not use conditional signals for "generally" or "likely" sentences?

Some standardized test score disappear after 5 yrs right? Is it true for LSAT?

I heard we can take it 3 times within 5 yrs...is it because they reset test scores?

How do they calculate this?

Like, if people take it for 4 times...does that mean it took them more than 5 years for LSAT?

I was just wondering if it's possible to apply to different law schools with different LSAT scores? For example, hypothetically, can i apply to a school with a 160 for example early in the application process because i know a 160 will be good enough BUT then apply later in the application process with a 170 score to a different school? I'm asking to see if i can apply to my back up schools with a lower score early in the process to make sure i get in and receive scholarships while still having the chance to apply to the better schools later on in the application process if i improve my LSAT score.

When I took the Feb. 2016 LSAT, I had to answer questions about how familiar I am with technology and how comfortable I would feel taking an exam on the computer vs. on paper instead of the normal questions they ask about how we prepared for the LSAT etc. I thought that was interesting but then said to myself, "I hope the LSAT doesn't turn into the MCAT by taking the exam on the computer." Can you imagine taking this almost 4 hour exam on a computer?!

I got this question right first but after BR when I just solved it with my logical intuition, but I got wrong since I made some logical diagram for the question.

Please clarify whether I had any error.

"Their new shows are all police dramas" : NS -> PD

(C) None of the shows that W&W produced last year that were not canceled were police dramas: /C(NSL) -> /PD = PD -> C(NSL) (It means every police drama that W&W created last year was cancelled

So if (C) is true, doesn't it help the premise (NS->PD) to create conclusion that most of new shows will be cancelled ( NS -m-> C) as it creates ( NS -> PD -> C(NSL) )? In other words, every police drama that W&W created last year was cancelled and new shows for this year is all police dramas, so it is highly likely most of new shows this year will be cancelled.

I think it would not be good to solve this question in this way but still logical appeal of (C) confuses me.

Please help me to understand it.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I notice that the the video explanations do a thorough job in explaining why the correct answer is indeed correct and why the other answer choices are incorrect. Although I find that very useful to study, when it comes to doing the PTs, I obviously don't have that much time. I'm wondering if there is any resource available that demonstrates what exactly a Sage is thinking in real-time when they are answering a question in the limited time available. Are there any videos/webinars of someone taking a full PT and thinking out loud what their thought-process is to answer the questions as quickly as possible?

Thanks

I am getting a LOR from my college band director. On the LOR form, it asks for recommender contact information, including an address. Do I put the address of the band hall, for example, or do I have to obtain the house address of the recommender?

I did som RC sections today untimed and it was like...around -10.

I'm sure I will make more mistakes if it is timed...

This is seriously my weakest section.

How to improve RC? I read some prep books, and they recommend to take notes, but not sure I have time to do so...

What kind of things are you doing for preparing for RC? Just read&do questions?

Thanks,
