I'm just curious because you've done or taught every question ever released and have basically "prepped" to the max. If you were to actually register and do the real thing would you get a 179-180? I know it's a stupid question but I'm just curious.

My 7sage account is about to expire, and before it does I wanted to give a huge thank you to JY and the team. You can't argue with a 17 point jump from my first ever PT to the Feb. LSAT, in just about two months. For those of you just starting, just keep going.. it gets better. Just be sure to do everything that JY says :) Good luck to all!

I am looking for a very dedicated study buddy. I am taking the June LSAT, and I am going to work very hard to reach a 160+ score. I currently have a 155 in the December LSAT. I will be using a combination of materials, 7sages and LSAT Trainer mostly. If you are not extremely serious about this exam, please do not respond. I will be making the lsat my full time job. If you are interested in meeting once a week to review and share notes and go over wrong questions please respond. Thank you.

"Nearly every", "Almost All", "Close to none", "Almost none"

What are the exact definitions of these phrases?

Does "Nearly every" and "Almost All" = "most"?

Would "Close to none/zero" and "Almost none" = "some"?

Hola! Happy Friday! Hope everyone is staying safe and warm in our little rain weather ;) If anyone is in the Orange County area and would like a study buddy let me know! I am prepping for June 2014 LSAT!

I am very confused with a specific relationship between universal quantifiers and existential quantifiers. This confusion becomes annoying in Assumption Questions. Please help! So, basically this is it:

1. "A-->C + A -->B"

2. "A-->C + A -most->B"

3. "A-->C + A some B"

For each of three given premises, we can conclude the same "B some C" relationship. Though the first part is the same "A-->C", the second part is different. I thought that this difference is understandable, because "A-->B" implies "A-most->B" and "A some B". So, we should have the same conclusion for "B some C". But the problem often arises.

For example, PT 24, LR2, Section 3, Question 19. Sufficient Assumption.

"Every student who walks to school goes home for lunch. It follows that some students who have part-time jobs do not walk to school."

The conclusion of the argument follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?

Premise: Walks to schools-->Goes home for lunch.

Conclusion: Part-time jobs (some) Do not walk to school.

Take the contrapositive of the premise, we have "Do not go home for Lunch--> Do not walk to School"

Now, it becomes clear that he Sufficient Assumption to bridge the gap could be:

1. "Do not go home for lunch (some) Part-time jobs". This is the correct answer choice (d).

(d). Some students who do not go home for lunch have part-time jobs.

2. Do not go home for lunch -most-> Part-time jobs.

3. Do not go home for lunch --> Part-time jobs. (conditional)

If we take the contrapositive of 3, we have "No part-time jobs-->Go home for lunch". The contrapostive is logically equivalent to the original. Now, "No part-time jobs-->Go home for lunch" implies

"No part-time jobs -most-> Go home for lunch." and also implies

"No part-time jobs (some) go home for lunch." (This is exactly what the wrong answer choice A says.)

(a). some students who do not have part-time jobs go home for lunch.

Please help me clear this confusion. Is there anything I misunderstood? I really appreciate your help.

J.Y. or someone at 7sage: are there preptest pdfs available pre-LSAT 36? I know that questions from those tests are built into the course, but it would be nice to have the entire test to download so that we can print out and practice multiple times, i.e. the games set from test 24, etc. Thanks.

Hi,

My name is Michelle taking 2014 June test. I really want to achieve my goal score by June so that I can focus on the application procedure during Fall. I had to make a decision to take a leave from work in order to completely focus on studying – this shows how much I am serious and determined. I am looking for someone who can share this motivation and be a support each other. I’ve studied with few other people and found it very effective to analyze questions together and talk it out and explain to each other.

I met good studying buddies through 7 sage forum but they all live little far. So wanted to find someone close by so that we can meet up in person. I live close to Downtown LA so anyone around me to meet up and study together I am down any time. However, I found Skype or Phone are still very good communication tool. So anyone who has the same goal and motivation Please contact me at 213.700.3059 or michellemoon0708@gmail.com. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Michelle

Hey all,

I've been struggling with a problem, that is, repeating my mistake on some old questions, since the first day of my prep. At first, I made sure I understood the rationale behind the right answer and the wrong ones. Later on, maybe a week later, I find myself repeating the old mistake. I tried my best to internalize what I learned from the mistakes. My method is to cut off the questions and make them into flashcards, which seems to have helped me on this front. Do you guys have some helpful methods to really learn from the mistakes you made?

Thanks!

Hey all, I tested yesterday; I was a weather reschedule for the Feb 8th test.

I thought I'd just take a moment and let anyone who's interested know a bit about how a rescheduled test could potentially be a bit different than what you're preparing for =)

So in the event that you have to take a rescheduled test (I guess this is only likely during the winter season tests), be aware that you may run across a test whose LG go back to single-page format (I was a bit surprised for this when I opened up my test). In addition, while the RC section seemed pretty modern (I think as a result of needing to have the comparative section), the LR seemed very dated, and almost definitely were indeed. This seemed obvious to me, because (1) The wording was much more similar to the 40's than the 50's, 60's or 70's, and (2) the question content dated themselves at times pretty obviously (reference to the current popularity of the desktop PC and such).

LG were also -- for lack of a better way to describe them -- weird, just like they were in the 40's and before.

All of that to say, if you find yourself rescheduled, it might be worth your time to practice a LG section in the old style beforehand, and to maybe take or retake a PT in the 40's (which are just so much different from the 60's on) just incase =) certainly not a necessity by any means, but just be aware of the possiblity of an older-feeling rescheduled test!

February 2015 - not yet available

Thanks!

So I finished the 7Sage course after 5 weeks and started my Preptests this week. The schedule has me doing two Preptests a week until the June LSAT.

During the course I was jam packed with work everyday. And this week after doing my first PrepTest on Monday I leisurely finished up Blind Review and a second review of my incorrect answers by Wednesday ( I could have finished it all by Tuesday). Anyway, I'm starting to feel a bit unproductive, coming off the last month of working really hard on the course.

Is there something else I can add, besides doing another Preptest a week? The schedule has me completing 36-71 by June.

Anything inexpensive that I can use to hone LSAT skills during the extra time during the week? Review the course?

or .... what am I doing wrong?

Thanks
