Hi,

I've looked at lot of explanations (I have starter so I don't have access to 7Sage explanation) and I'm still not able to understand this one. I figured out the conditionals during the test, but I still don't fully understand how to approach/figure out this problem

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-59-section-3-question-19/

I tried watching a couple lessons on my iPad for the first time and found that videos tend to load very slowly/not at all. Does anyone know if a certain browser works best, or if there's a way to improve the load time on an iPad?

Hey all, can someone explain to me why BOTH X and Y don’t have to be before Z?

For example, for question number 8, JY said for answer choice C, X can go before Z as long as Y goes after Z. I am having trouble with my fundamentals, please help, thanks!

Signed up for the starter package and it's not tracking completed lessons.

Hello all!

I have but 8 day till the December Lsat's and I am at a terrible position. I am doing poor on all 3 sections. I can only get 3/4 passages on RC section and 3/4 games in LGs. My LR section results are terrible as well. Iv decided to focus only on 3 passages for RCs, and work on improving my LG and LR sections.

I would like some suggestions how to best spend the next 8 days. Should I focus on doing mix of lr and lgs? Should I devote one day to LR and one to LG'S? Or spend the next 8 days doing as much Full tests as possible?

Any suggestions, criticisms, ha ha's welcomed! Thanks

I'm having problems finishing LG sections (particularly the older ones) within the 35 minute time period. I can normally do PT35-57 within 30 minutes, but that's because I've seen them recently (within1 to 2 months). I can't seem to do well on the older games though. I usually recognize the game's patterns and inferences, and set them up properly, but for some reason I find myself taking so long to complete the questions. Any thoughts?

I'm currently finishing up the last element of my applications for a few Canadian law schools, and I'm beginning to solicit advice from friends, family and strangers about the impact of my personal statement. One of my reviewers noted that I should clearly exhibit what I can offer to the school in my statement, and stray away from solely focusing on what draws me to the school.

I've written a personal statement for Thompson Rivers University (TRU) in Kamloops, BC, which closely adheres to their 'guidelines' for a statement, e.g. The law school is interested in 1). Your reasons for applying to law school 2). How you plan to use your law degree 3). Why you're interested in this school in particular and 4). Why you made certain academic or previous choices and how those choices affected your decision to apply to law school (readers familiar with UCalgary's personal statement requirements will notice these questions are rather familiar).

I've written a statement which I feel answers all of these questions clearly, drawing on my inspiration to attend law school gleaned through being involved in MUN and completing research on energy law and sustainability in my undergraduate degree. Furthermore, I have outlined what I plan to do with my law degree quite clearly as well. However, despite this, I cannot help but feeling like even after explaining my unique experience, motivations and career plans, I may have missed the mark in terms of illustrating "what makes [me] of particular interest to the Faculty of Law at Thompson Rivers University", especially after receiving this comment.

Does anybody have experience in this area and would like to weigh-in, or is willing to share (loosely) how they structured their statement?

How often should I be doing the prep test with the proctor and everything? I did the one that was embedded into the course in the first or second week, but noticed there aren't any more until the end. Should I be doing them through the curriculum or wait until I've completed it?

Just completed PT 75, and I found it to be by far the hardest PT I have ever taken, following a subtle increase in difficulty (specifically LR) as opposed to previous tests. Is it just me, or is this a common theme amongst those of us that have taken PT 75 (June 2015 PT)?

Don’t wait to hit the 70s in January! Be prepared!

Superprep! Get your formerly non-disclosed test on! Answer that age old question: Is it really the “Champion of LSAT preparation”?

Is there a specific search box for the discussion board (not control + F)? Am I just blind?

I typically BR LG to -0 or close to it, but sometimes screw up an entire game or sometimes a couple more questions on timed tests...

I BR above 160 every time now, but my timed scores, although they've been 160-163 before (Highest BR of circled 165) my OCT '15 Score was 157, took it 4 sectioned... I was out of focused, fatigued, misread things (an entire logic game because of it ) and missed 8 LR but towards the end of the last section. I think my key areas to focus are LG and LR, mostly LG but do try to tighten up LR..? I still have PT 74 available, took 76 and 75 already.

Schedule

Wed25, ReviewPT76 Whole. | Thur26, Take PT74 + BR all sections | Fri28 Review PT 74 3 hrs. | Sat 28 Review pt74 (Then have to write/research a few pages of a paper for a class...but have 3-5 or even more hours for LSAT if recommended. | Sun Drill LG 3 and 4 of both PT 75 and 76 as a timed section, Review what I miss. Review 74 more if have brainpower ) | Mon30, Drill LG 1 and 2 of PT 75 and 76 timed, review. Watch 7sage LR videos on PT 76, 75, and 74 ..( as long as I can until fatigue? ) | Tues 1st, Review 7sage videos of LR I got wrong for PT 76, 75, and 74, maybe not watch more than 2 hours of video? )

Wed the 2nd, thurs the 3rd, fri the 4th, take those days off | rest, meditate, eat well, & do not engage in any heathenry | Sat LSAT

I'm hoping a 167 is possible. I'd have to miss almost none on LG and do 4-7 questions better on LR/RC combined. At least a 163 would be nice! What should I do with my schedule? Feel free to tell me to completely change it if strongly advised!

Thank you so much to whoever takes the time to read all of this!

anyone know how much sufficient and necessary is used in actual law school? just curious

I'm confused to when to diagram. some inference Q are obvious with logical indicators. Some are hidden or have causation in the argument and qualifiers (maybe, could etc). When do you diagram? what's the general rule?

Example: If the Logic games section is harder could that mean an easier RC section? Or is it always 100% independent of each other?

My issue is that I have taken a few tests and gone -10 on games but had really great other sections is it just unlucky or part of the LSAT writers doing?

Hi all, could someone help me see why B is not supported? The way I see it, the scientist shouldn't be allowed to profit from his technology... But if he isn't ALLOWED to do something, isn't that a restriction? And doesn't that go against the statement "Society should not restrict the performance... except to prevent negative effects" ?

His profiting wouldn't cause negative effects; it just wouldn't spread the benefits around. The second part of answer B says that allowing others to profit wouldn't diminish the scientist's own profits. But that's irrelevant, isn't it? Either way, it's still limiting/restricting the scientist. This seems inconsistent to me.

Thank you so much! I feel like I'm missing something very obvious here.

Hey Everyone!

So, LG and RC have always been my weakest sections. I'm working on RC now, and don't feel like I should post a thread requesting help since I haven't been able to isolate what it is about the section that drives me crazy -probably timing.

However, I've been drilling LGs on and off for the last 4 months, and I've yet to complete an entire section. The most I've completed were 3 games, with a -1 score between the three.

That said, I know my issue with LG is timing and sometimes the initial set-up. It takes me anywhere from 10-15 minutes to complete a game, regardless of how simple the game is. That said, is there any advice you guys and gals can offer? Now that I have another 6-8 months to study, I'm going to implement the "fool proof" method more than I have before.

Also, regarding LG when should we try to draw out all of the possibilities? Often I'll look at my initial set-up and think "Well...there are probably a ton of possibilities...off to the questions!" I then find out from J.Y's video that there were only 6-8 possibilities. After watching the videos, I beat myself up about not realizing that I could have cut my time in half by just writing out/finding all of the possibilities. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess.

My issue with determining whether I can write out all of the possibilities is timing. I worry that I'll waste time only to find out that there are more possibilities than I assumed, and that my now-random hypotheticals won't apply to any of the questions.

Hey 7Sagers! Had a student email me in with this question and I thought you could help out. Here it is:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I finished your online course while ago and I'm doing PTs now. I have a question while I'm trying to improve my LG that you didn't mention in the online course. How do I decide whether to pull out all the subgameboard in such a short time?

I found to pull out all the subGB really useful for some of the LG questions like PT69 S2 G3, some are absolutely unnecessary. However, for some of the questions, like PT70 S3 G4, it looks like a game that you can, and might need to draw down all the possibilities by reading the rules but actually the questions are super straight forward. Drawing out the subGB is just burning out time and I didn't get enough time to transfer my answer to the answer sheet which is crucial.

I used the method in the course, which is, do the LGs which I think I haven't mastered multiple times. I always can finish the game within time and without mistakes by the second or the third time because I already knew how do I setup the game board and whether I should split it.

So, inside 35 mins on test day, how can I decide very quickly that if I should split the game board without wasting time? I found it is especially hard under pressure.

I had a hard time distinguishing the actual flawed reasoning here. I initially chose A because the logic matched perfectly, but changed my answer to E because E was more obviously flawed. My question is: when in doubt like this, is it best to just match the logic perfectly without worrying too much about identifying the flaw itself and just move on?

Here's JY's explanation: http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-69-section-1-question-14/

Any chance of a pre sale for pt 76 explanations?

Dear fellow 7sagers,

The upcoming test will be my third and so last LSAT I'll be taking before I apply to law schools.

But there is a problem, namely, that I can't locate PT 76 anywhere.

I've taken all the PTs besides 75 and 76 and it's really important to me that I take PT 76 before test date.

Do any of you guys know where I might get it? If it is the case that it hasn't been published, do you know when it might become available?

Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm new here.

Someone might ask the same question before, but I'm wondering if any of you have used/are using both Velocity and 7Sage? I'm currently using TestMaster's Full Online Course. My TM account only gave me about two months of access of its online materials. I'm a full-time student and when my account first expired, I only finished 30% of the lessons. I had to spend another $700 on an extension, which only gave me two more months!! My TM account is about to expire again in two weeks.

So now I'm looking for a prep course that can supplement my study when I start doing PTs. I've watched some videos from both Velocity and 7Sage and both seem great to me. I plan to take the test in June 2016 and I have to start early because of my other school obligations. I would really appreciate it if you guys can give me some detailed comparisons between the two, specifically the 7Sage Ultimate+ and the Velocity Online Course!! I'm aiming for 170+. Any other test prep suggestions are welcome too.

Thanks!!

We’re 10 days away people. I have one word:
