Can someone explain how D doesn't strengthen the argument? Wouldn't giving evidence that the sample of the 100 first graders was representative strengthen the broad/general conclusion in the passage? I understand that C is the correct answer, but I don't see how D doesn't as well.

I've been having a Little scratch in my throat, and a bit of mucus waking up for the past week. I am in isolation to not get sick but at times I do have to face humanity and risk it.

Im taking emergenC, vitamins,eating pumpkin seeds but this scratch is no leaving. I am praying it won't plant itself likr a bomb on Oct 3.

If anyone has positive stories of getting a cold on lsat day and still acing it that would make me feel great lol.

I can no longer view my study buddies' analytics. Is anyone else having the same issue? Is there any way to fix this problem, @"Alan Cheuk" @"Dillon A. Wright" ?

So I was hoping for some advice on when to take the LSAT. Here is my story with maybe too much info:

I was planning to take the Dec LSAT. I diagnosed 158 in early August. Started studying with Powerscore then but not too hard because I was finishing a pretty long trip abroad. I came back mid August and started studying pretty hard. I got a 20 hour a week job that started in September. Ran through the PS bibles. Yea, they were pretty bad. Finished them my mid Sept. Took another PT and score 162. Wasn't sure what to do from there because I had no more study material besides PT. Found out about 7sage online and based on its good reviews and lower cost I picked it up.

Now I'm about 35% of the way through the curriculum but just got offered a full time job at a law firm that seemed too good to turn down so I took it. I start next Monday. With that, I doubt... well am almost sure I will not be ready for the Dec LSAT.

The February test seems kind of poop because it is really late in the cycle, likely on an ugly cold day, and if I don't do as well as I am hoping, I don't even know where I did poorly. But the timing seems right and I could at least try to apply for this cycle.

And then, there is June. Which seems oh so pretty. It is in a beautiful time of the year and administered at noon which is a huge plus for this guy. But that means waiting another year. Since I have this pretty cool job that is not so bad but more concerning to me than that it seems so far away. I motivated to study now. I feel it. But I don't know if I could keep feeling so pump for another 8 months. Ugh that's far. Is that too much time? I know JY says 1 year. I know, but that feels like a lot to me knowing how my energy levels for things fluctuates.

My insane plan for now was to sign for the Dec or Feb test, see how I feel closer to the date, if I feel bad: postpone. If I feel good: take it. Then once I take the test, If I feel bad: cancel it. If I feel good: get my score and hope I wasn't dead wrong.

My concern with this plan is that 1) it might a waste of $mula$ 2) I may hella misjudge how I did and end up with a crap score 3) It can really throw off my study schedule 4) I have never heard of someone doing this so it feels silly.

Is my plan for now that bad? Its pretty bad huh? So just put aside my concerns for the Feb or June tests and just take one of those? And if so which one?

Ahhh, well if you have made it this far I already love you for reading through my somewhat unexisting problems. Your the best. And if you could give me some advice, well then you are the bestest. So many thanks in advance.

Is it wise to do a final practice test the day before the test or is it better to take that day off and relax or exercise or something? Does anyone have any tips for the day before? Thanks.

TONIGHT! PT52 BR | 8pm ET

We may not have...

for our BR Group. That’s for the other BR group taking the LSAT actual this weekend (See http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/4525/pep-rally-weds-8pm-et-featuring-mike-kim-the-lsat-trainer-and-jonathan-wang), but we do have a very VIP guest joining us...

No, not really. Here’s who we got...

All kidding aside.

Are you ready to BR PT52?

If not, take PT52 NOW and join us at 8pm ET tonight.

Note on all groups

I took my last PT before the test this Saturday and my scores fell a lot I have taken about 15 test where my scores consistently stayed in my target range and then for this test I fell almost 10 points. Am I burnout and should stop studying now or work my tail off for the next 48hrs?

So happy to say that!! I'm feeling really good. My diagnostic was a 153. I've taken about 35 PTs. My last three were all 167s. If I get within +or- 3 of that I'm going to be stoked. 163 is the 75th percentile for my school :)

they say nothing about non-mammals in the passage nor do they imply anything about non-mammals.

I'm taking the October LSAT this weekend, and I was just wondering how much discussion we can have about the test before LSAC releases scores.

I know LSAC states that we are not allowed to talk about the test questions, but where is the line drawn? Would reviewing the tactics of a particular game be unacceptable? Then is it OK to discuss general difficulty level of the sections? How about discussing which section was likely the experimental section?

Thanks!

Sitting for the October exam this weekend but will be retaking in December. Looking for a few people to study and blind review together in person or via Skype. A little about where I'm at, drilled all LR and LG from1-38. Took PT 39-45 and 55-60 averaging around 167-172.

The Chinese characters in my notes now get replaced by "??" on this website. I use another browser and it's still the same. Anyone encounter the similar situations?

It seems to be a tech problem of 7sage, and I will truly appreciate someone can fix it ASAP since I'm taking my test 5 days later....

Hey, I'm about to begin taking PTs 36-65. If anyone else is interested in doing a full blind review of any of the aforementioned tests, let's meet up and tackle this thing. I live in north Dallas, but willing to meet anywhere DFW area. Maybe a campus library if parking is not an issue. I can meet mornings or at night, but we should allot 4+ hours if we are going to master the whole test.

Let's do this!

Hello, I'm planning to take the February test. I am currently reading through LSAT Trainer and PowerScore as well as going to school full-time. I am not confident enough about Logic Games and am considering registering for one of 7Sage prep course. The two courses in contention are Starter and Premium.Though the Trainer is immensely helpful with Logical Reasoning, I find Logic Games difficult to grasp. Which course would be ideal considering this time frame and circumstance? Suggestions and comments welcomed. Thank you!

Does anyone have any recommendations for a private tutor in the Los Angeles area?

I have PT 74 left to take. I was going to take it Friday morning at the same time the LSAT is being held on Saturday. I'm concerned with burnout, as my scores tend to dip if I take two PT's too close together (I've performed better with 4 days between, and worse with less, though correlation/causation could certainly be an issue here).

It's Tuesday. I took PT 73 last night. How should I go about taking my last PT? Should I just do sections over the course of the week?

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.

Can anyone help explain this question? I used The Trainer for my LR prep, since I only found 7Sage a few weeks ago. On Mike Kim's website, it has this listed as a Strengthen question, but I cannot for the life of me figure this out. I have tried the Manhattan Prep forums but they list it as a Justify question and I have no idea what that means b/c MK doesn't use that category.

For the principle, I got:

Should criticize ---> no serious harm to person criticized + one does so in the expectation of benefitting someone other than oneself

contrapositive:

serious harm to person criticized OR does so in the expectation of benefitting oneself ---> Should NOT criticize

halp

Thanks in advance :)

Hey everyone,

I am hoping someone can help me because I feel as if I am in a slump right now and am having a hard time getting out. When I started this 7Sage program, I was very motivated and charged at it like a bull and was killing it…However, these past two weeks I have been slacking HARD and just can't get my head into the game. I have all the time in the world to study and do pt's however I just can't get myself there. Even right at this moment, I am doing problem sets, and blind reviewing but I am not operating at my normal potential and it's making me frustrated because I am missing things that I wouldn't normally miss.

Did I burn myself out? Does anyone else feel totally unmotivated? How do you get yourself out?

I am planning on taking the Dec 5th LSAT but I'm not sure if thats a good idea considering how I'm feeling lately.

Hello,

It seems like my 7 sage grader is not working I tried with another device, and also deleted and downloaded the app twice to make sure it's not my phone. Has any body encountered this? if so would you please tell me how to resolve it?

thanks

If link doesn't work, my page currently says limited to 31/77 completed tests, and then lists 27 tests. I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out when I bought 34 tests, and I have 7 tests left, 31+7 != 34.

Just FYI. Not a big deal at all.

7Sagers:

I need some serious H-E-L-P. here's the details:

1. Took June 2015 LSAT. Canceled the score, signed up for 7sage, finished it in late august.

2. Took a Bluepring course last spring. didnt do A SINGLE darn thing for me.

3. been PrepTesting all month. none of my PT's go over 153/154. I Blind Review all of them, very closely.

4. I've been signed up for this saturday's exam, 10/3. Obviously, there is no point of me taking it.

5. I WILL NOT apply to law school with a score lower than 164. I will not go to law school at Sticker Price. no way.

6. I can't take time off working anymore. used up all my savings sitting at home studying. Spent my last 400$ on 7Sage's Premium Course in order to get the video explanations for PTs 62-71.

7. Forgot to mention: All the drills iv'e done in 7sage's course, timed, have been PERFECT. not a single question wrong.

8. Last PT (64)- 153. Section 1 (LR)- 15/25. Section 2 (LG) 16/23. Section 3 (LR) 18/26. Section 4 (RC)- 13/27. This was by far the hardest RC i have EVER encountered.

please help this poor soul out. I am TIRED of dealing with this. I am mentally exhausted. I am physically exhausted. The LSAT has taken a toll on my life in such a way that i have NEVER experienced before.

I have finally (after being wishy washy about committing) decided to take the LSAT. I would really like to take the December 2015 LSAT. However, as it is now almost October 1st, that only leaves me 2 months to prepare. Is this a totally crazy idea? After stumbling across the 7Sage prep courses, I feel more confident that if I buckle down and follow the course, I can do well. I am just unsure if this is totally unrealistic. Any input is appreciated!

And I'm giving the side-eye back.

I'm not big on astrology, but with all of the hype about celestial happenings this summer (read: multiple supermoons mania), I came across that we're in Mercury Retrograde until October 9th. After falling down the stairs [sober] last week and then contracting one of the nastiest colds I've ever had this week, all I can say is "cheers" to October 3rd. If I ever take the LSAT again (hopefully never again), then I'll make sure to avoid Mercury Retrograde. Unless of course Mercury is trying to tell me that I shouldn't go to law school, ever.

Has anyone taken the LSAT on Dayquil before? Haaaaaa

I am planning on doing one more PT this week before Saturday. Should I choose one in the 70s? Thanks in Advance!!!

I'm getting better on timing LRs, but still struggling for timing RC.

I solved PT 60 today and left 4 questions at the end in RC although I got all questions right after blind review.

I often run out of time in RC, remaining one to four questions untouched.

It gets worse if I feel nervous and get panicked.

I think it might be primarily because I'm not a native English speaker so sometimes it takes me time to understand very complex sentences or get nuances of some words.

But I would really appreciate if you provide some tips on timing RC.

Thanks!!
