So my laptop broke today and I'm using a new computer but I can't get the videos to play! They load but when I click play it doesn't move! I've tried playing with the cookies, clearing the cache, and re-downloading flash player nothing works. It seems that youtube videos do not work either. I have tried Firefox and Safari. Anyone have any idea what the problem is?

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to seek some advice from other 7sagers on tackling Flaw question types.

I have gone over the syllabus a few times on these questions and even memorized the different flaws that could arise. However, I am still averaging around 45 to 50% correct when dealing with these questions. (got the score from my LSAT analytics).

Im following the two step test - 1) Facts 2) flaw but still struggle with these questions.

Can anyone recommend any methods you have used in trying to improve with these question types. Ive noticed these question types appear quite a bit on the LR sections.

Thanks :)

Test day feels like it is approaching fast and to be honest, this anxiety is unbearable. I am where I want to be when it comes to practice test but I am a nervous wreck on the inside. I have even considered pushing back my test to the December date

I was not sure between B and D.

I thought B is correct because it bases its conclusion on premise which contradicts one of its premise...

(It says "the odds are overwhelming that we would be alive during this period too" while also says "because we are not alive during this period")

Is B wrong because they are both premises and one of them is hypothesis?

By the way regarding D...isn't that "not alive during this period" seems true because how can ppl live so long? (It would take centuries right?) The question is not asking flaw in the argument, but I was just wondering whether the argument is valid or not.

Thanks,

I would like to ask this question.

For relative ordering.

Q - R- P - L

l

G - F

Given the above, who is, could, should or would be first and last and what is the order and ranking?

Also for the same problem.

Y - Z

l

V - W - M - X

l l

K C

Would someone please help me to understand this relative ordering. Thank You.

I've been utilizing 7sage & LSAT Trainer like my life depends on it. I study about 5-6 hours a day... for the past month...

I'm trying for the September LSAT. Could anyone offer tips on how to recover from burn out and how to stay motivated? Thanks...

Hi,

So I saw ppl are usually "drilling" in the early stage of preparation...

What does this exactly mean? Do you do all of the questions published?

Do people actually have to do all of or most of the questions to achieve a certain score?

I've been PT'ing in the 176+ range for my last few PTs, and at this point, I feel that I'm running out of PT material. I still haven't taken 63 to 77, which I am obviously trying to save for taking throughout August and September. So, I am taking about two PTs a week or one PT every three days. I'm not sure what to do on the days off, when I'm not taking a full PT. What do you recommend? Should I take 1-3 full sections on off days? Just drill a few games/passages/LR questions? Again, I only have a few untouched PTs left. Maybe a few in the 20s and 30s.

What do you think?

Jennifer, I love you. Your gentle but firm voice has blessed my ears for 50+ hours of practice testing. Wherever you are, I wish you the best.

So I was not sure about the term switching..."the most important problems" in the conclusion and "important problems" in the premise. So I expected to see something related to that in the correct answer...but is this actually not an important switching?

And that's why I was not sure about the term "few important problems" in A...and thought B is correct because it contains "the most important problems."

Hi,

I just reviewed the embedded conditional lecture by J.Y.

I now understand why A -> (B->C) becomes A and B -> C

I was wondering what happens if (A->B) -> C appears in the stimulus.

When I tried to translate the conditional by myself

I got this.

(A->B) -> C

~(A->B) or C

~(~A or B) or C

(A and ~B) or C

~A or B -> C

Is this correct? I think there is something wrong about this... but I don't seem to get the exact reason why...

Please help me out 7sagers! :)

My blind review score is pretty decent and about 7-10 points higher than my actual score. I can not seem to get my actual score up. Any advice? 6 weeks out and I need that 7-10 point increase.

I was not sure between B and D...

As for D, I thought the word "It fails to address..." Does the argument have to address it? I thought if so to make an argument people would need to address all aspects or components relate to the argument, and was not sure it is necessary to make an argument. So I thought the flaw is more likely "It takes for granted..." in this argument. (B and D mention similar things anyway)

So B was more attracting for me...

At first I thought the word "remotely" may be wrong, but the argument only says "personal reasons" and this could include "remotely association" if it is personal related, so I chose B. Why we are not allowed to think this way?

Thank you in advance.

Hi!

So sorry if this topic has been covered before, I just can't seem to find any information online whatsoever! I've completed my undergrad at an international university and am wondering if anyone has any insights or experience with how LSAC calculates grade conversions? I recall seeing on the LSAC website last summer that they are converted to superior, above average, average, and so forth, but the links seem to have been removed.

Does anyone know anything at all about this process? I'm terrified that my GPA will be lower than I expect and negatively affect my chances of admission this year.

Cheers!

Note:

So I'm wondering if anyone has any advice as to what the hell I should be doing. Background: I've been studying for about a year now. I'm aiming for the high 160's and my pacing is getting worse as I do more tests? I think this is a matter of pacing, as sometimes I dont finish a section. Usually I finish all the RC passages and questions with time left, but this last test I didn't get to passage 4. Whats the best way to make some improvement?

PT 42: 163/ 172 BR

PT 44: 164/ 168 BR

PT 46: 160/ 178 BR

PT 48: 159/ 178 BR

PT 51: 163/ BR - not yet done

Does anyone experience scoring high on a PT (above your average) and then taking your next one, only to find you dipped below your average? I notice this pattern frequently. Could this perhaps be overconfidence? This was PT#71, which I found pretty difficult too. Whatever the case might be, it is very frustrating because I am still 5-6 points away from my goal.

Hi! I thought it'd be interesting to get a general feel for this question. I've increased my score by about 3-4 points on average through a month of studying and I'm not sure what to think of that -- it seems a tad slow, especially since I assume the rate of increase will decline as my PT scores get higher. What has your experience been and what would you recommend to further increase scores?

Just wanted to verify is a contradiction the same as a counter example?

Hi, so I've recently started doing PTs (around 5) and I am scoring in the low 150s. My BR score has been increasing, with the most recent being 167. The problem I have when doing PTs is that I always run out of time for LR and end up not doing the last 5 or 6 questions (while skipping other questions). I end up getting around 10 wrong per LR section but when I BR, I miss around 3 per section. What can I do to bridge that gap? Should I drill individual LR sections and stop PTing? I went back to the curriculum and worked on my weaker areas like Flaw and weaken questions. Sometimes I have a really hard time understanding the wording of some answer choices, which take up time.

As for RC, it's my weakest section and I never get to the last passage during PTs.

My plan was to take the test in September..but at this point I am really unsure if I should cancel and write in December. My goal is 160+. I wanted to write the test in September so I could have a chance to retake in Dec if I needed to, but if I write in December, that would be the last score some law schools in Canada would accept.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

This happened!

I finished the 7sage core curriculum and after finishing the first few PT's to which I have access to solutions, I noticed that PTs 39-51are no longer sold anywhere online... I am pretty upset because the ultimate course gives me guided solutions to 12 PTs to which I have no way of accessing... I feel like this is sort of unfair, and was wondering if anyone else was facing the same dilemma?

Ive looked online everywhere and the best I could find was the Manhattan prep books that include pt 40-51 but they are grouped by question type so there is no way for me to pull them apart and take LSATs under real conditions with these books...

i was hoping if there are any 7sagers with ADHD (or ADD) or even without that could maybe give some tips or pointers for writing the actual lsat/studying for the lsat. i find myself rereading LR questions and wasting precious time. also i find myself missing on key words and phrases because i read over it too fast. what are some methods that i can use that would be effective when studying for the actual test and also manage my time when answering them timed?

The number of test takers that receive accommodations of time and a half per section is growing from what I can tell, has there been any thought from 7sage on making a four section test proctor that has 53 minute sections?
