I place a because after the statements of interest in the stimulus and the statement that makes sense with a because coming after it I deem to be the conclusion. Is this an ideal strategy for argument labeling and mp questions?

I did not understand how and why he figured out which parts of the sentences he could use to make conditional statements from the video. He did not use conditional logic for the first sentence even though it had key words "not" and "are".

His diagram had:

LECC--> ELCI

ELCI--> LCI

LCI--> IH

I don't understand how he took from the sentence, "many people would do so" and instead wrote LCI. I'm just confused.

I started prepping for the LSAT about 2 weeks ago in hopes of being ready for the Feb 2016 test and apply late in the cycle. I've been going through the video lecture (about 20 hours in) and just took my first PT (2007 LSAC Practice Test) this morning. I scored 164 which was a little disappointing since I am aiming to score 99% (174+). What is a realistic score increase by the February exam date assuming I continue to study 3-5 hours a day (I have a full time job)?

I was just curious if anyone knows much about the loan forgiveness for those who opt to practice public interest law. Is it a program sponsored by the individual schools, the employers (gvmt, non-profit etc)? Do you know if there are a lot of restrictions involved? Is anyone planning on utilizing this option?

So, thus far I've figured out one of my biggest problems is that I have trouble taking PTs as if it were a real test day setting. I was looking for courses that just offered weekly live-proctor settings, unfortunately I had no such luck (unless I were to enroll in a full course, and sell a kidney).

Does anyone know of a course or group that does just live proctored LSAT PTs? If not, would anyone in the San Antonio - Austin area be interested in getting together every so often (weekly, bi-weekly or monthly even) to take live proctored PTs??

I know of a few class rooms here in San Antonio we can use, and a few people willing to proctor. I did this alone once and it went really well. But I figure if I'm going to go through the trouble of setting up live proctored PTs, other people should benefit too.

Any who, I'd appreciate it if someone let me know if they know of groups out there already meeting for PTs, or if anyone is interested in starting one. :)

I'm currently scoring in the low 160s, aiming for a 170. I want to know what you guys do for skipping questions and when you skip questions in LR. Do you usually read the stimulus and immediately skip if you didn't understand, etc? Do you not skip until you read the answer choices? Is there some type of strategy where you do all the easier ones like 1-14 and then the last 2-3 questions in the section which tend to be easier. Thanks

Also, I'd like to know if most are you are reading the stimulus once, twice, three times, etc in general to answer a tougher ?.

I get why (E) is the answer here, there's a flaw between the premise and sub-conclusion. Just because a majority are unaware doesn't necessarily mean they disprove of the attempt.

But I'm having a tough time eliminating (D). If we just isolate the sub-conlusion (premise) and main conclusion we get: Since a majority of them obviously disapprove of THE attempt, graduate students at this university should not unionize. Ok, so they disapprove of THIS attempt, but isn't there the possibility that they may want to unionize for other reasons, which is what (D) says? Or maybe I'm just reading this wrong. Any help woulf be greatly appreciated!

NOTE: Great News! Starting in January, we’ll be using GoToMeeting for all of our BR group needs. More details to come!

Be sure to click the link of the conversation you’re attending and announce in the comments which group(s) you’re planning on attending.

Note:

  • For the newbies: Add me on Skype, using handle dmlevine76, click the link of the conversation you’re attending and PM your email for Google Hangout.

  • For the regulars: If for some reason you're not in the group conversation[s] already, just message me on Skype.

  • For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able; join us for all or part of the call—everyone is welcome.

  • Note: For the purposes of the call, we like to check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :) So at least don't say ... "No guys, really, it's D, I checked it.” In other words, if you know the answer, keep it to yourself. Use your reasoning to win the argument.

  • These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).

  • The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via Skype and intellectually slaughter each test.

    Hey Guys,

    While 7Sage lists 19 different flaw types, The Trainer lists 3 (piece does not equal puzzle, apples do not equal oranges, and 1+1 does not equal 3). I'm a little confused - can the 19 different flaw types fall under these 3 categories? If so, do you prefer going by 7Sage or the Trainer's methods when doing flaw questions?

    Thanks so much!

    Hey guys!

    I'm still a bit new to this website, so I apologize if there are other threads that are similar to this one. I'm looking to see if there are any students close to the Toronto area that are planning to write the December 2015 LSAT. Which law schools are you interested in applying to, and what mark are you hoping to achieve? I am not certain on where I would like to go just yet, and am instead focusing on obtaining a high score on the upcoming test.

    Would love to chat with fellow students in the area. Always nice to talk to other students about their plans and/or experiences :)

    Only 25 spots are available! First come, first served!

    Fine Print (NOTE: you all want to be lawyers; reading fine print is what lawyers do, so READ IT!)

    • We are NOT going to use Skype for these sessions.

  • Instead, we are going to use GoToMeeting.

  • There is a space limit of 25 per session. This limitation is dictated by both GoToMeeting and the function of these workshops, which is interactivity. If we had more people on, the interaction would be scant, at best.

  • Approximately, one half hour before the the scheduled workshop will begin, a link will appear on the forums, inviting you into the workshop.

  • If you want to attend these sessions, you MUST click that link.

  • Here’s an FAQ on GoToMeeting.com: http://www.gotomeeting.com/meeting/online-meeting-support

  • Then, download the application (for your computer or mobile device).

  • Attendance will be on a “first come, first served” basis.

  • Once the workshop is full, it’s full. Nothing to be done.

  • Chances are, if you’re going to be late, there is a strong possibility you won’t make it in.

  • There will be no recordings of interactive workshops.

  • If there is demand, we will repeat interactive workshops at different times.

  • These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).

  • The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via GoToMeeting and intellectually slaughter each test.

    MSS questions

    I'm doing really badly on this question type. I am going to rewatch the videos and lesson for this question type, but does anyone have any advice on how I can improve?

    When I did this question type in the past, I got frustrated and skipped to the next question type, but this time I want to master it and do well on it. If someone could give me some constructive advice, I would be most appreciative!

    I'm studying the curriculum and found the negation of "all" a little confusing.

    I understand that the logical opposite of "some" is just "none."

    But isn't "not all" the negation of "all"?

    In other words, does "some... not..." mean the same thing as "not all"?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello Fellow 7Sagers,

    I was recently emailed by the Georgetown Law Admissions Office asking if I would like to participate in an in-person interview with an alumni from the Law Center (of course I said yes!). I was wondering if anyone could provide any insight into the kinds of questions to expect or were actually asked during the interview. Thanks in advance!
