I'm sure I'm not alone in using 7Sage's LSAT Analysis tools AFTER taking and grading my own PTs.

For those of us who do, as we improve, it starts to become more of a hassle for us to enter all our correct answers in the PT Grader.

Why not offer an option to only enter the answers you got wrong? It would save anyone averaging 160+ a significant amount of time.

Columbus, OH, Anyone? Anyone? BUELLER :) Let's connect. I'd love to have a study partner.

I was trying to send out transcripts and have received an error. Anyone else have the same issues?

Can someone explain how they were able to tease out the conditional elements in this stimulus?

I'm having trouble seeing how the second sentence fits into the conditional framework. It doesn't seem like it plays a role there.

All I can see with this, and it leads you straight to the answer, is:

Sentence 1: PPS-->MA

Conclusion: SA-->MA

Answer A: SA-->PPS

The negation didn't help me here since I didn't understand the conditional language at first, which is why I picked the wrong answer. If someone can explain why the negation would hurt the conclusion here, I'd be very grateful. Thank you.

I need a tutor to improve my LSAT.Thanks !

Aidin Again,

As the deadline is getting closer and I am getting busier with the LSAT I am looking for someone in Orange County or southern california area that can help me with picking schools, sending applications, looking over my material, help me with personal statement and etc. This would help tremendously by taking some weight off my shoulder with this application process. We could discuss donation amount depending on the quality and the amount of work the person is capable of. If you or anyone you know does this please send me his/her info to me Firouziaidin@gmail.com.

Thank you !

I am getting ready to take the LSAT for the second time and most of my PT's have been the 40's-50's because I used the most recent ones up during my first go around of studying. Would it be beneficial to retake one of the most recent prep tests again to try and get familiar with the new trends before test day? It's been about 3-4 months since I last took them. I am just not sure if it would be beneficial to go through material and PT a test again that I had already done a few months back. Thanks for the help!

Hi guys! I wanted to get some feedback on this RC question.

The prompt asks for the main idea and the right answer is that 'the views of ecologists and economic growth advocates have only recently become polarized.'

To me, that phrase implies that the passage is about recency. It implies that the passage is primarily dedicated towards explaining a long history of no polarization that has but little time ago turned into a polarized dichotomy.

I agree that the passage accomplishes this, but to me, this accomplishment was used as a template for the author rather than his/her explicit, or even primary purpose.

I detected notes of author view, such as in line 11 when he describes the recent polarization as "sad." On top of that, the way the author describes both sides seems to indicate that he favors the previous attitudes towards the issue, consistent with what Marsh and the Enlightenment thinkers believe. I almost got a sense of sarcasm in how he described the implications of Clements' equilibrium model. The author claims that the model became a "mystique," environmental interference was "taboo," wilderness was "adored." These descriptions made me believe that the author saw followers of this mentality to be radical, cult-like, trendy, and perhaps a form of the "tree-hugger" stereotype.

Back to the first paragraph, the final sentence talks about how the "sad effects" make it "difficult for industry to respond to impact analyses that demand action." This came across as having sympathy for contemporary industries, being pinned down in this polarized climate where (as we would later read) before they could act in harmony with environmentalists and have productive conversations based in compromise and understanding.

With all of that in mind, I was very quick to eliminate D, an answer choice with no reflection of the author's argument/bias, and way too much (in fact, pretty much 100%) emphasis on the mere fact that such a change is recent. Who cares if it's recent? You didn't need to give your opinion and write four paragraphs only to tell us that this polarization is recent. You could easily switch the dates mentioned in the passage, and the meaning would barely change. It would just be polarized ----> not polarized instead of not polarized ----> polarized.

I picked E because I thought it captured the author's sentiment and reflected an idea that the entire passage built to establish. A lot of the passage's content contributes to that idea, while only a few small distinctions affirm that the change happened to be recent.

Group BR is awesome, but feel free to disagree with me. I’d hate to create an environment of Groupthink.

Note:

I'm chugging through the lesson plans, and I've completed about 45%. I'm writing in December, and I've almost completed the Reading Comprehension lessons.

At this point, when I get ready in the morning, I read through all of the PDF notes given to us. I do the lesson plans in the morning before work for an hour, at lunch on my lunch break, and from 1-3 hours after work.

Does anyone do anything additional to reading the notes? I know he suggested reading The Economist, but does anyone do anything extra? I did do the Kaplan Method previous to this, so I have exhausted a few LSATs, and I don't want to just keep practicing on LSATs in case I run out before I begin the actual practice portion of this LSAT help.

What are you doing?!?!

Thanks :)

Hi,

My name is Michelle aiming to take both Feb and June. My ultimate goal is June so I would prefer having someone to stay with me and motivate each other all the way until June; but anyone is welcome!

I have gone through Bibles and Manhattan strategies and would like to practice PTs and share opinions with study partner/group.

I would like to meet in person if you are located around Los Angeles, CA or I would like to connect through Email, Skype, Phone etc. I am very committed and anyone who is willing to stay motivated please contact me – michellemoon0708@gmail.com

Looking forward to hearing from you.



Hi,

First time poster, long time lurker. Currently, I am making some slow progress with my PTs. My recent tests have moved from a 155, 156, and most recently a 157. Slow and steady? maybe? A major trend that I am experiencing with all my PTs is that I run out of time on each section and end up guessing 15-20 questions per test (e.g., 1 passage in RC, 1 game in LG, and usually the last 5 questions of each LR section). My blind reviews range from the 169-175- if that matters? Thus, my question is to ask the advice of the 7sage community- how can I improve my speed so I can actually answer those questions that Im guessing? Any help would be greatly appreciated and any similar stories of success with this lagging brain problem would be greatly motivating. Help me 7sage, you're my only hope.

JARU

ill be done with the CC sometime this week and I am taking the October LSAT, i was wondering how often a week should i be taking a practice test and is one a day to much?

Hello!

I'm fresh off the boat on 7Sage and I'm wanting to take full advantage of the "study buddies" feature. I would be perfectly content with just an online partner but if there was anyone fairly close to Parkersburg or Vienna, West Virginia that would be even better!

Thanks!

Hey all,

I am getting ready for the December test. This will be my second time testing. I am aiming for a score in the 170s and am currently averaging the upper 160s. I feel like I can get to the next level but feel a little lost as to how to get there. As of right now, I do prep tests and review questions that I mark for BR or that I got wrong and then do them again. I feel like this is a "20% of the work gets you 80% of the way" situation.

Does anyone else who is shooting for or has achieved this kind of increase have advice for how they went about doing it? I work well with laid out plans and I feel like there is potential for me to improve to the level I want if I have the right studying methodology.

Thanks so much

I can't understand why C is the right answer.

I mean if Stilgoe's case would have been stronger if he used these sources then would that it indicate that their view was more negative towards the railroad then the other writers?

Based on this reason, that's why I chose E, but it turns out E is wrong.

I'm stuck in this question.

Can anyone tell me how C is right and E can't be an answer?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently reviewing PT 37 that I completed yesterday and I'm on section 2 #12. Even watching JY's video, I'm still a little confused about the "cannot" and "without" in the stimulus. Anyway, I was just wondering-- what do you do when you have two indicators but they're in different groups? Or the way that JY presents it, maybe we're disregarding the "without" for being in group 3? And we're just treating it as a "no"?

I mean, either way, for the two indicators in one sentence issue--I feel like there was a lesson on this or that it was mentioned somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. If anyone could let met know or let me know what lesson it was in, that'd be great. And if you can further explain #12 I'd really appreciate it too! Thank you! :) Happy studying!

Do we blind review every section? So basically review all of our circled questions, maybe even re-read the reading comp passages at a slower pace to confirm answer choices etc.? We basically can review the whole test at a slow untimed pace? THEN check our answers?

Also for full length PT's do you blind review the same day you took it or the day after? What do you think is more useful? Obviously when I am doing section drilling I will BR immediately after.

Any advice would be awesome! Thanks!!!!!

The most difficult for me is the Logical Reasoning and I was wondering if anyone had a perfected study guide for me use. I would really appreciate it! Im taking the LSAT in February and am in dying need of help on this one section as of now!

Anyone from Surrey BC/ Vancouver who is looking for a study buddy? Online or in person.

Hey guys,

I have a quick question for those who have ordered prep tests from Lsac.org. If I order a prep test from Lsac.org, is the test mailed to me or is there an option where I can download it unto my computer and print it out?

Anyone have a sense of general order of difficulty for Logic Games ---- And/Or a plan of attack based on that?

ie If the 3rd or 4th passage Game to be most difficult, then save to the end...

or if two games are equally difficult, save one with least questions for last?

Thoughts?
