I just tried to take PT 72 and got so frustrated and thrown off that I quit during section 2. I printed it off from everylsat.com and screwed up in RC (section 1) bc I had to keep flipping back and forth looking at the passage for questions that were on the back side of the page. I had only 3 minutes to get through the last passage and got murdered by it. I started doing section 2 and was just so mad about the last section that I got through 5 LR questions in 8 minutes and nothing was making sense. I thought that it was just best if I stopped, bc I had had a long day (usually don't do PTs at night) and knew I was going to do horrible on this test.

It is especially discouraging because I scored a 165 yesterday on PT 71 and was feeling so confident. Should I still take 73 tomorrow?

Hey guys, hope everyone is doing well. My question is that let's say that I get a 160 on the Dec LSAT and apply to brooklyn Law for the upcoming fall and get rejected, would I be able to reapply to brooklyn law after retaking the February LSAT for the coming up fall? Or is it a case of once your rejected from a school you can only apply for the next cycle. In essence if a person get's rejected can they take the exam over and reapply to the same school which they got rejected to for the same upcoming year? Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, hope all is well. My question is let's says that I did well on the DEC exam and got accepted to fordham, how long do I have to let them know of my decision to attend their school for the upcoming semester?

I've figured out why C) and E) are wrong, but I'm not sure how the other incorrect answers weaken the argument.

Any ideas or explanations?

I've been trying to make a LG summary and was wondering if anyone has any notes that they'd like to exchange? Just a brief overview of what to keep in mind when encountering each type of game set!

Thanks so much and happy studying!!

I can't remember if I've ever read this... but are we only allowed to bring in water in our bag? Or can we bring an energy drink for our break?

I started studying for the LSAT over a ago now when I was a junior in college. I was super stressed and determined not to take a year off so I wanted to take the June 2013 LSAT. Being a stressed out freak, I thought the best thing to do was to do a bunch of PTs (which I still will do only this time with more focus on reviewing after the test). I blew through a bunch of PTs that I can't even remember now which ones they were. I honestly don't remember hardly anything from the tests--in doing the syllabus I've recognized some of the content in a few questions I've done but it doesn't seem to have any effect on my answer choice and I definitely haven't had any instances where I've recognized a question and immediately remembered the correct answer. Do you think I could still be influenced by some of the tests I've already taken? Thanks for the comments.

When blind reviewing a preptest, should I go back and review the answers to all the questions or just the questions that I circled? When I blind review LG I go back and do all the games and usually miss only -1 or 2 questions. Thanks!

Hi, is anyone else having issues with the study schedule generator? It is stuck on the December schedule option, and will not generate a new one for my actual test date no matter how many times I click "generate schedule" for the February date.

Hi all,

I realized that I tend to solve for all possible "worlds" in my set-up but not proficient enough do it in a timely manner that paralyzes me when it feels like much time has gone by. When I watch JY's explanation I realize I was on the right track and was making all possible worlds but was doubting myself and did not push through with a few more scenarios which would have allowed me to answer all questions quickly afterward. I also realized JY doesn't always solve for all possible worlds (he has a separate video for it underneath)but employs a method that's rule-driven for each question. For me however when I approach a game that has limited solutions but not few (say 10-15 scenarios) I instinctively choose that route but start to doubt myself halfway in. Can anyway help me out with what I can do with the exam only a week away?

Thanks.

So I know the LSAT doesn't really have 'guaranteed' rules that you can use (other than negation, etc), but has anyone come across a correct LR answer choice for a necessary assumption question that used the word "most"?

"Most" is used generally for trap answer choices because the negation of 'most' is 'less than half' and there's really nothing too special about crossing/not crossing the 50% mark for a necessary assumption (unless the stimulus is based on this majority/minority issue). I just looked at a necessary assumption LR question in PT70, S1, #13 for instance and speedily and correctly eliminated three answers on the basis that they began with "most." Of course I went back to read the content, but still, seeing that word makes me less inclined to believe it is correct for NA questions.

I also realize precedents can be broken, but have there been any (correct with 'most') to anyone's knowledge?

I have scheduled February 2015 LSAT test date.

Evening everyone!

I'm Alexandra. I'm looking for serious study buddies for the Feb 2015. I've been studying while working full time but I need accountability and help with logic games (specifically). Any people interested in the study group can email me at alexandra.k.griffiths@gmail.com.

P.S. I live in Queens and work in Brooklyn. Again, serious inquiries ONLY!! Thank you! :)

hi!

I saw someone else offer to share their study guide, and I thought it was a good idea to help get some different perspective before the exam on Saturday. So if anyone else has any materials to share I'd be happy to share my study guide from the LSAT Trainer material, some Powerscore materials, and some 7sage materials. My email is lbalestrieri@uwalumni.com if anyone is interested!

I'm just curious to see if anyone has particular literary sources they would recommend in trying to achieve this goal, specifically in regards to humanities (book reviews) and hard science passages.

Thanks!!

Hi everyone,

Could someone please give me an example of a question in which the correct answer would be "Appeals to a premise one would accept only if one already accepted the truth of the conclusion"? Haven't seen one in a while and want to go over before test on Saturday.

P.S. I have access to PT 44-65 if you know of one in there thanks

I'm living in Jaffa - Tel Aviv right now and taking the test this Monday and hoping against hope that someone out here in the 7sage community is here as well and willing to study with me as I/we prepare this last week.

Can someone explain what these languages in flaw reasoning questions mean:

Takes for granted that

Fails to rule out the possibility that

It overlooks the possibility that

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm feeling burnt out this last week going into the exam.

What does everyone else's week look like? I work M/T/W and I took TH/F off. M/T/W I am going to do 1 1/2 hours of morning studying before work, reviewing 1 complete, 4 passage, timed RC section, some light LG, LR weaknesses over my lunch break, and home for some more LR practice. Thursday I was considering writing my last prep test, and I was going to take Friday off entirely. I am going to try and maximize my sleep schedule this week as well!

Is anyone doing anything different?

Can anyone provide help with this question? I don't see at all how they get their answer..

Thanks!!

http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-70-section-4-question-26/

I don't understand how to get the answer to Question 26 in Part 4 of Prep Test 70 (October 2013).

It talks about a historical fact, but I'm unsure where they get this kind of information/reference from?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi,

Can someone please explain either A or B or else

is this the same as saying either A or B but not both?

Hey JY/7Sage Team,

I was just wondering if there would be any type of special sale going on for the holiday season for PTs and/or tutoring??

Hello. I took the LSAT in September. I was confident after I took it but was not impressed by my score. I used PowerScore for my prep and didn't improve much from the prep test I took when I first started. It was on the low end of all my prep tests average. I got a 145. Yeah it sucks. My undergrad GPA isn't that great either. But I can write an addendum to help with my GPA (I had a major illness one semester). Anyway, I've been wishy washy since I got my LSAT score about whether or not law school is for me. Right this minute, I am leaning towards registering for a 7sage prep course and retaking the LSAT in probably June. And moving foward with law school. But my thoughts could be different this afternoon. If I decide law school is the answer, I need to get my LSAT score up no less than 10 points and preferably 20 points. My mother is not very encouraging or understanding of my ideas of Law school. So I wanted to know if anyone has any advice or encouragement for me. And also I wanted to know if my goal of getting my score up 20 points is even possible. Thanks for your time.
