Hey Guys,

I've been trying to practice and grind on Sufficient Assumption questions. I know how mechanical these can be, but I have found out that I am having trouble translating the stimulus. Overall, I understand the lawgic and everything else, but it has been frustrating because I am having trouble at the first step and not even being able to utilize lawgic. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, what's the best way to get a printed copy of the exercise problems? Has anyone successfully printed out images of the silent videos?

Thanks.

hey does anyone know where I can purchase prep test c2? I jumped the gun and bought the video explanation without finding the actual test, what can I say it was 7$ lol

hi,

I dont understand why E is wrong...it says the citys mayor requested so they invested in computermodeling technology right?

if the mayor was not a proponet they would not request it...I thought. any ideas? :(

Is it bc of the part *because of* ? so we dont know if its because of that reason mentioned in E...but could be other reasons?

thank you in advance.

I am registered for the September LSAT and I scored a 171 (!!!!) on my first timed, proctored, new PT out of the curriculum (December 2008, PT 56). I realize consistency is key with this, so what are everyone's recommendations on how I should keep this going?

Hey everyone!

I'm planning on joining the BR sessions once I've finished the 7Sage curriculum (I prob. have another 3 weeks or so to go), but I'd love to connect with people on here and maybe implement a once a week study buddy/LSAT support group.

If there is anything like it already out there, I'd love to join! I don't have any nearby friends that live close enough to study with me, and (as I'm sure you all know) it's hard to talk about the LSAT and all the struggles with people that aren't involved in it.

I'd like to start a group with the goal to keep ourselves motivated and talk about difficulties we are experiencing and help each other through them. We don't necessarily have to study together, but we could have different discussion topics revolving around areas of difficulty and frustrations?

I had something similar going in December of last year when I was studying for the Dec. LSAT and found that it literally saved my sanity during this whole process. We all communicated through Google Hangout.

Let me know what you think/if you're interested!

Hey guys just want to say I appreciate this community of 7sagers. It's encouraging to know we are all in this battle together. That being said to those who are consistently scoring in the high 165+ and 170s, what helped you break into that range? I am currently averaging between 161-165 and am BR'ing thoroughly. I noticed on some of my LR questions I second guess my gut instinct and my first choice ends up being right. I also have improved a lot in my LG section. RC has remained stagnant, where I only get about 70-75% right. Just trying to get some solid tips on how to get into that high 168-169 range. Appreciate it.

How might I obtain the LSAT Prep Test #43 by Tuesday? While there are a couple on Amazon, they all will arrive past Wednesday. I was hoping to purchase the test and have it arrive Tuesday... so I can join the BR group Wednesday evening.

This is lesson 6/16 in the Advanced Logic Section. On DeMorgans law. Question 1. Translate the sentence into logic.

"Unless the leather is soaked and tanned for 3 days, the resulting boot will be smelly."

The right answer is

/S or /T ---> BS

contrap: /BS ---> S & T

Why does it turn from an “and” to an “or” statement if you choose /S & /T as the sufficient condition?

I thought that for “unless” conditionals, you just pick one statement and negate it and that’s the sufficient.

I’m choosing S & T as the sufficient, and BS as the necessary.

so

/S & /T —> BS

If the leather isn’t soaked and tanned, the boot will be smelly.

so the contrapositive would be…

/BS –> S or T

If the boot isn’t smelly, the leather was soaked or tanned.

I see that I’m wrong but I don’t understand why.

Is it just..whenever an & statement is negated, it turns into an or statement? and whenever an or statement is negated it turns into an & statement?

I’m super confused bc now I’m looking at the contrapositive of #2 on that quiz and it’s /S & /H —> E or D

If "and" statements turn into "or" statements when they’re negated then why isn’t that the case here >.<

P.S. I do know the splitting rules it's just hard to type onto here so I left it without splits.

I would like to know the best guessing strategies regarding the LSAT in each section

All the different companies use different phrases for question types and I'm getting a bit confused by the different terms. Can someone explain what pseudo sufficient questions mean?

I have had access to 7sage for pretty much a year now. I am writing the LSAT in September and decided I would take the Oxford Seminar LSAT prep course to get a little extra prep in. I still have a session tomorrow and I can honestly say, without a doubt, that it is a useless course compared 7sage. Like honestly, 7sage is far more superior in every single way. Just like J.Y says, they use convoluted names for questions and logic games which end up confusing people. They even discouraged splitting game boards initially!!!! The worst part is that they had us write a Practice test and IMMEDIATELY corrected the answers without a blind review. I actually ended up walking out and going home to BR. If people are thinking of doing condensed seminar courses like the Oxford Seminar, spend that money on upgrading your extension or version of 7sage. Seriously 7sage you the best LSAT prep out there. I may be a scum bag for doing this, but I suggested to all the other students that they purchase 7sage instead of continuing in the course.

Goodluck with your studies everyone and keep on grinding !!!

Hi, as the title says,

I'm just wondering, how many PTs do you still have to do if you want to take the Sept. test?

Did you already finish all of the PTs you want to finish and now are in only a reviewing stage, or do you still have fresh PTs you are going to do? How are you going to spend until Sept. test?

Just wondering because I saw someone said if you are not in the target score range now, Sept. test may not be the one you want to take...

Thanks,

Hi all,

So I know "a few" is logically equivalent to "some" (more than 1), but for "few," can we say that it is logically equivalent to the opposite of "most"? An example would best show what I mean:

1. A few cats are blue. (Some cats are blue.)

2. Few cats are blue. (Most cats are NOT blue.)

Is this correct?

Thank you! Just a small nit picky logic thing that I keep forgetting to confirm.

Hey all,

Is this allowed? haha I browse through people's threads and such and noticed that topics tend to get off-topic and cluster the OP's questions, comments, etc.. so I thought I would create this for everyone to just chat and connect. If there is one already sorry, please delete/let this die.

Anyways,

I can't understand why answer choice 'B' is incorrect! Need some help!

The flaw of the argument is that it assumes there is no other reason that a child could have sleeping problems. Thus the conclusion that "removing the tonsils eliminates sleeping problems" rests on this assumption.

Answer choice 'E' is exactly that.

On second look however answer choice 'B' is exactly that as well.

The argument certainly relies on the assumption that there is (no other reason a child could have sleeping problems) than from the tonsils which is "tantamount to making the conclusion true." Answer choice 'B' even matches up 100% with my explanation!

What's more is that answer E and B when compared to each other support each other as well. Example:

"(B)relies on the assumption" that there "(E)is no other cause for sleeping problems during sleep"

Have looked all over but I can't find any explanation on this. Thanks for any help in advance.

Brb, buying the 64 crayola pack like old times.

Hi all! I have been studying for about two months now and initially had started out using the Powerscore Bibles but after about a month and a half I realized that their approach to the LSAT was just simply not for me nor was I a fan of their explanation methods but that's besides the point. Anyway, I purchased the 7sage course about two weeks ago and I love it! I certainly think that this is a much better approach for study and will complete the course with pretty high confidence that I will receive the score I want.

However, I believe I made the mistake of registering too early. I am currently registered to take the September LSAT and the deadline for postponing is August 30th and I am just not sure if I will be ready yet, or if I want to rush through the 7sage course to make myself ready by September. Before registration, I already had my mind up about taking it twice so I am definitely going to be taking it in December but do you think September is too early for me right now and that I should postpone? The only reason I am still contemplating postponing is that I don't want to only take the exam once (I have heard taking it twice is the way to go to ensure your maximum score) and I don't want to push back my second time taking it to February because I think February is too late. Overall, I am simply not sure what I should do. Any advice?

Hey folks,

I'm having a hard time with RC. I take way too long and the notes (words, circling, and underlining) I make on the passages almost never help me. Any strategies that have helped you improve would be greatly appreciated!

The 7Sage community has given such sage advice on all things LSAT that I thought I'd throw out a rather unconventional topic to see if anyone cares to weigh in and illuminate me. I was introduced to the dean of my target law school by a friend of mine who is on the board of trustees at the university. He set us up for a lunch meeting on Friday! I'm curious (and a tad nervous truthfully) how to best approach the meeting. I'm confident in my ability to get in to the law school based on my numbers, but I'm working on a higher LSAT score to maximize my scholarship chances. I am curious: what would you say or do if you were in my situation? I have a few ideas but would love the benefit of this group's input.

I feel like this is an incredible opportunity and I want to get it right. Thanks in advance for any tips or ideas!

Looking to meet up a few times a week.

Hey guys! I'm looking for any input regarding anxiety and insomnia. I'll try to make this short. I've been dealing with insomnia for at least 6 years. I've been taking Ambien for about a year now. I refused sleeping pills for years because I didn't want to become addicted so I took any type of allergy medicine (Benadryl mostly) that would induce sleep. Yeah, I know, dumb, especially when I have to carry around Benadryl at all times because I've had "allergic episodes" due to who knows what! I've tried different brands and different dosages of melatonin but none worked. Tylenol PM was pretty much the only thing other than a prescription that worked. I took that for a few years but again felt it wasn't the best option. After going back and forth with my doc for a while I finally agreed to the Ambien only because the lack of sleep was affecting other medical conditions. I did not notice it immediately but I've noticed in the last few months that I'm not as "sharp" as I normally am and I'm extra forgetful. I cannot scientifically say it's the Ambien but I haven't made any other changes. Now for the anxiety. I've never really had any unusual episodes regarding anxiety but I've noticed recently that I get really bothered by what I consider a lot more than usual. I've had a lot going on in the last few months like moving 2x within 3 mos, more health scares and calling a relationship off due to it causing more anxiety for me. All of this has caused me to once again delay the test until December, ugh! Anybody have any input? On anything really. I don't want meds for the anxiety but if it continues to be bothersome I'm not against it. I've never had to deal with this level of anxiety so I'm wondering if others can suggest anything they do for coping? I was thinking about switching to another sleeping pill but I don't want to risk any negative side effects and my body having to adjust to something new even though I'm not testing until December. What would you guys do? Any suggestions are welcome! Thx guys!

I have to travel to another place (Taiwan, which is 3-hour flight away from where I live, no time difference) to take the September LSAT on September 25, and I am wondering if it is enough to go to Taiwan 2 days in advance.

Also, is there any tip for taking the LSAT in another city?
