has anyone replaced the battery of their 180watch?

the one I have that was unused for a lontime stopped working probable due to dead battery, and I can't see how to open the back cover for battery replacement.

I love the feature of the discussion boards which highlight the threads I haven't read yet and turn grey the ones I have. Some how my "Mark all read" feature is stuck and they are all grey. I keep clicking on it but nothing changes. How can I fix this??

Thanks!

I'm a little confused by this one...

Could anyone explain why Answer Choice B is correct?

The ones you want to finish studying with!

For me: the urbanization RC passage, the philosophy lectures game

So I've taken blueprint and testmasters courses and I've increased from 144 to a low 160. Went to testmasters first and I was testing at around 158 by then end. Started studying on my own and then my first diagnostic with blueprint was a 162. Since then, throughout the entire course, I have barely increased at all. I test anywhere from 159-163 and only hit a 166 once. I don't know what I should do. I've taken over ten practice tests and its all within that range. I usually get 18-20 right in Logic games. 20-22 right in reading comp and get around 6 to 7 wrong in each section. Is there any tightening up I can do to increase my score within the next couple weeks?

Anyone else feel like when it clicks, it keeps clicking? I always told myself how randomly I would score on sections, but I am realizing it was because I didn't really have a deep, clear knowledge of the games + LR sets...

Then I went from maybe -7 on LR... to -2/-3.. thought it was a fluke.. then have consistently scored -2/-3 for the last 5 LR sections I have taken... and the same for LG... -1/-2 total out of a whole section... 10 months ago, I used to get 2 games out of 4, and hover around -10 on LR sections...

I am interested to know have people experienced like a point in time where one PT they are all of a sudden scoring at a way higher range, and consistently after? How do you know it's not a fluke! How do I sustain it, keep improving till October LSAT?

Hi,

I am considering law schools in Canada and I was wondering how a Masters is considered in the application process for law school?

Researcher: We have found that some cases of high blood pressure can be treated effectively with medicine. Since it is generally accepted that any illness caused by stress is treatable only by the reduction of stress, some cases of high blood pressure must not be caused by stress.

Which one of the following is an assumption required by the researcher's argument?

D) Some conditions that are treated effectively by medicines are not also treatable through the reduction of stress.

E) Medicine used to treat high blood pressure does not itself reduce stress.

The negation of D seems to me to be "All conditions that are effectively treated by medicines are also treatable through the reduction of stress." While the negation of E is that "Medicine used to treat high blood pressure does itself reduce stress."

In my mind, both of these seem to break the logic of the argument. I understand that E is correct because, having diagrammed it, I understand that a some statement will not suffice and that I need a conditional statement to bridge the gap between the premises and the conclusion. However, the negation test did not allow me to eliminate D, but it is supposedly infallible in determining the correct answer. I am a bit concerned that both D and E seem for me to break the argument. How is it that D does not do that? Or if it does, how do I know to trust the negation test? Is it that the negation of D says that medicine and stress reduction are both separately effective and that E says that the medicine is effective because it reduces the stress? Is the negation of D even applicable, since it would contradict the premise that states that an illness caused by stress can only be treated by a reduction of stress? Thanks

I am having a little difficulty eliminating answer choice C here. I understand that the single guest is analogous to the standard antibiotic, which leaves me with a and c. I don't understand why it is not the pleasure part though? Ie. the stimulus says one meal that will please a single guest. So to me C looked "righter" because it matches the pleasure concept as well.

What will you do with all the prep books and old exams??

I know we have a few Texans in here ... Anyone else planning to visit UT for Texas Law Day?

I know there's a huge variety of opinions on how much to really study these last few weeks... But how about it? I just took PT 75 today and have BRd half of it and will finish mañana with some additional studying. But how much do you really wanna push it these last few weeks? A few more tests? Just some timed sections and reviewing difficult questions?

I work full time 9-5 and have basically been coming home and studying until I go to bed. I'm feeling pretty worn out as I have been at this for some time. What do you guys think of studying going forward and when to shut it down?

Great article. Take a gander.

Hi all,

I've been taking a mixture of recent tests (60s-70s) and with some exceptions of outliers on lower 60s tests (165~167), I've been consistently getting the same scores 162 or 163 for almost a month now. I don't know how I'm not improving much nowadays but I find that the LG sections on the most recent ones are way harder than on the old ones. I used to get 0~3 wrong but now I get 4~6 wrong. Also, it seems like when I do well on LRs, I bomb RC and vice versa. I heard that people tend to drop few scores on the real one, and I'm afraid I'll follow that path. I took #71 today at my test centre with a friend who will also be taking the Oct exam and I scored 163 again. Now that there's only a few weeks left until the exam day, I'm feeling some pressure and burnout. My goal used to be 165 but I feel like I might not be able to reach that goal.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Up until very recently I was able to use my old university account to do all my PT printing on campus. I think they caught on and finally disabled it. :1

I'd like to hear from you guys about any other possible (cheap) alternatives for printing PTs . Thanks! :)

Does anybody know where I might find a list of question #s/PTs that are strictly of the "flaw" type?

Quick Question: After I watch the video for the game why keep doing it? Is it not just memorization, not actual learning?

I don't understand why A can't be an answer and C is right.

The stimulus said "Instruction is available-> consumers would find it much easier to put together" and I should find out the situation which cannot always meet the principle.

I thought if it went like this Instruction is available-> consumers would "NOT" find it much easier to put together, so that's why I picked A.

But the answer is C. It's like Instruction is NOT available-> consumers would find it much easier to put together, right?

So how can C be an answer?

I mean when we find something against principles, shouldn't we find A-> NOT B (if the stimulus says A->B)?

So that's why I thought A is an answer because it's just like A->Not B (But C is "NOT A->B")

Can anyone explain why C is an answer and A is wrong?

Thanks!

I tried to understand why C is an answer and B is wrong. But I still don't find out why.

I know the conclusion of the stimulus is this practice greatly increases the health risk~part.

When I looked C only, it made me think it attacked "this practice" part, not greatly increases the health risk to U.S consumers.

But for weaken and strengthen questions, we should attack/strengthen a "conclusion" as far as I know.

So I thought I should attack this practice greatly increases the health risk to U.S consumers which is the conclusion and tried to find out another possibility or sth (e.g "NOT increases the health risk to US consumer") even if

what the premises said. So that's why I chose B.

So I'm really confused how C is an answer, but B cannot be. Why C should be an answer and B is not?

And I really wonder how I can distinguish between which case I should attack the whole conclusion and attack just some/another part of the conclusion (just like "this practice" part in this question) when I encounter weaken/strengthen questions which means we should attack/strengthen a conclusion.

As far as I remember, I saw some of the weaken/strengthen questions that I shouldn't attack/strengthen the whole part of the conclusions just like this one.

Can anyone explain me?

Thanks!

hi everyone,

practicing the older games sections now, and i was just wondering if you guys thought it was worth the time to continue practicing and perfecting the games that seem a little strange, like this one: http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-11-section-1-game-4/

one person mentioned on that one that's it's good for flexible thinking and I was wondering if you guys agreed. I don't mind giving it a shot and watching the videos for them but not sure if i should repeat, do the next day and the next week, etc..

thanks for all the advice folks! happy studying.

Hi All,

I've been studying for almost a year now on and off with a full time job and have finally reached the mid - high 160s. The past 10+ PTs (60s) I've been scoring around 165 - I am STILL having trouble finishing the last passage on RC (mainly guessing after reading) and miss at least 2-3 questions on LR (NA, PSA, and FLAW). BR is consistently in the 170s.

For the Oct LSAT, Should I be drilling LR / RC before completing the last 4 PTs (68-71)? Or just go straight in to the exams and BR? I wish there was more time. I am a splitter and really need the 170. I'm really losing hope after plateauing and not being able to finish all the questions in time.

Looking for some feedback on anyone who has been / or is in the same situation. I've booked off work until the exam so I'm hoping to squeeze as many points out of the last 2 weeks of prep that I can.

Thanks,

Mike

Background: Ok so prior to 7sage I self-studied. I made my own schedule using the PowerScore books and the LSAT Trainer. After completing my own "core curriculum" I started PT'ing using the Cambridge bundle (1-40 split by type, and 41-70 in four-section PTs). After taking 5 PTs (41-45), I realized that I needed to sign up for a course because I was getting answers wrong and had no clue why they were wrong. Ultimately, I signed up for a 7sage course. I completed 7sage's core curriculum and started taking PT's a couple weeks ago (starting with PT 36). I took PTs 36-40 by viewing the LR questions on 7sage's website (where JY reviews answers of that respective PT), and did RC and LG using the Cambridge "split by type" books... Although my scores for PT 36-40 were not much higher (went from avg of 150 before 7sage to 154 after using 7sage), I am seeing improvement....

Now, here's where I need you to help me out: I just completed BR for PT 41. My real score was a 168 and my BR score was 171 (previously my score for this PT was 150).... Yes, I have completed this PT before....BUT...I legitimately did not recall ANY games/answers for the LG section (went -0), nor any passages/answers for the RC section (went -4... completed 3 passages thoroughly and only got 1 wrong then guessed all "D" for the last passage which got me 3 wrong on that passage). However, I did recall only about 3 or 4 questions in total from both LR sections combined.

What do I make of this huge jump?? Do you think I subconsiously recalled questions/answers??

Sorry for such a wordy post, but I'm cautiously ecstatic and I would really appreciate any input !

Hey people with test day experience,

Are experimental sections typically LR, LG, RC or random? Also, can you usually tell which one it is based on it being too easy or extremely difficult.

I want to be mentally prepared for the possible intense difficulty of an experimental section and not let it disrupt my flow too much

I only have up to prep test 57. Is it important that I try newer ones prior to taking the December test? If so, where is the best place to obtain them? Thanks!

that game is cake compared to games with the super random, sneaky rules (like the television program one with 0.5 slots and whole slots, and you had to make 5 slots not 6).

what games have you found very hard?????
