Hi I am studying for the Dec test and wondering if there's anyone wants to study and discuss questions together. We can meet in a library or the meeting room in my building. My location is close to Bloor&Yonge. Lets study together!

Is it a good idea to use the BR method for non-timed pts? I like to work on older pts such as 30 to 50 slowly while Im at work or If I need to drill and keep my mind sharp and to make it a habit to not forget anything.

Im using 51 to present pts for my actual timed pts while I study for the October exam so Im not concerned with wasting pts.

Is anyone interested in checking out my personal statement and giving some critiques/advice? It is still in fairly roughish form, but I'm having internal conflict about what to change/improve/take out etc.

Addendas

I had a few questions dealing with addendas that I was hoping to get input on. A few weeks ago I did tune in for the webinar on addendas and learned alot about content for each topic, so my questions deal nothing with content or length.

My main question is this: how many addendas should you provide? I want to add a diversity statement for sure, but for example, if I felt that I needed to address a shortcoming in my application or LSAT score that will be beneficial to my application and not be redundant, can I have two?

Also, how do I format them?

Should I use a simple title in bold letters? Should I use fancier format options or keep it simple? Font? Size? Anything related to addendas are foreign to me, sorry if these questions seem pointless. Also! For personal statement essays do I add a title or just jump into the essay right off the bat?

Hello, could anyone provide an explanation for general theory? I have seen it pop up several times in MoR question and in other questions as well. I know its a principle that is know in the world like "everyone should eat healthy" but cannot come up with one that does not include should. Anyone have a better understanding of it?

Hey all!

I am pretty sure I understand what JY means but I have never encountered a question where it is okay to independently strengthen a hypothesis without strengthening the support between premises and conclusion.

In JY's explanation for PT 89.S2.Q3 he talks about the question stem and mentions how some (rare) strengthening Q's will say "what most strengthens the hypothesis" (as oppose to "what most strengthens the support between for the hypothesis",) in which case, he says it is okay to pick an answer that doesn't necessarily make the premises more relevant but could be something random that just makes the hypothesis more likely to be true.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any examples of a question like this from a PT? I would like to see it just to ensure my understanding is clear.

Thanks so much and good luck to everyone taking the Jan-Flex!

December Test Takers! This is it! This is what you’ve all been waiting for! One last BR and then on Saturday, it’s game on!

My advice: taper down on effort. You don’t necessarily have to do nothing this week (especially LG. Use it or lose it), but this week should require less effort from you than the past 10 weeks have. In other words, don’t do 5 PTs this week. And if you can, don’t look at the score of any PTs you take this week. Confidence is so important for the LSAT, and you don’t want yours wrecked by one stupid score. Just take the PT and BR and then have fun discussing the test in a BR group. And that leads into the last piece of advice for this week: Have fun and remember this Saturday’s test is just PT 77. That’s it! Best of luck to all of you!

Hope to see tutors, mentors, and friends (maybe Mike Kim again :) ) at the Pep Rally. Show your support even if you aren’t taking it this Saturday!

Be sure to announce in the comments which group(s) you’re planning on attending.

Note:

  • For the newbies: Add me on Skype, using handle dmlevine76 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."
  • 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.

    Hi - I’m looking for a study group/partner in Los Angeles. After the awful September test, I’m looking to retake in November. I’d like to get together in person or online to review pts and go over strategies. On average, I score around 165 and am looking to improve lr and reading speed. My strongest section is lg. Send me a dm if interested.

    Hey 7sagers. I am doing the in/out games and am trying to print off the pdfs for each practice question. For example, http://classic.7sage.com/lesson/inout-game-2-prompt-and-questions/

    However, sometimes when I click the link to either download the pdf or to just get to the link above through the syllabus page I am instead directed to https://classic.7sage.com/enroll/?_s2member_seekingpage=1256

    I am a member already so I shouldn't be having this issue. Any ideas?

    Edit: Tried on other various links from the "syllabus" page and all links are doing it randomly. Sometimes I click and it will work, sometimes it will take me to the enrollment page.

    Hi,

    I received my September LSAT, and would love to go over the test with someone else who has also taken it via video chat. Are there any rules against this? I understand that you cannot sell or distribute the test, but I was not sure about this. If there are no rules against it, does anyone want to go over the test who will be taking it again? I would particularly like to talk about LG.

    Thanks,

    Lauren

    If and only if

    For statements with if and only if, does it matter which variable I write first?

    Example: V is selected if and only if P is selected

    the if and only if here is referring to P so the solutions in the book show

    P (--) V

    not V (--) not P

    but if I wrote it out as

    V (--) P

    not P (--) not V

    Would that be correct since this is a biconditional statement? if past would make P sufficient condition and the only if part would make P the necessary condition. Am I thinking of this correctly?

    Also, can I think of biconditionals as implying that the two variable must always go together meaning that PV will always be together in the "in" group or in the "out" group. There is never a possibilities where one variable is in and the other is out. So, I could show them as a block in my diagram.

    So I took the LSAT yesterday and came out almost crying.

    I have two score already 162 and 171(Jan 2019) and TWO CANCELLATIONS (Nov 2018 and June 2019)

    My goal is to get into the t6 and so was aiming for a 173+ at this test. Consistenly PTed about 172-178 so thought it was worth a shot, and the games completely destroyed me. I probably guessed at least 10 questions on LG.

    If I keep score, I’m predicting a score around 165 - or even lower. I hate to see a score decline :(. But if I cancel, I would have three cancellations and I feel it’ll look so bad to the admissions officers.

    Should I cancel or keep score? Your advice is much appreciated!
