Its probably somewhere, but I missed it - can you guys let me know what the Karma number means that seems to be increasing in my case...

The LSAC has specifically forbidden it.

I have a problem turning the necessary condition into words sometimes.

For example, the sufficient condition reads well:

Zombies attacking the city makes it sufficient for me to know the market will sink.

Z -> S

But for the necessary:

the market sinking is necessary for me to know that zombies attacked?

The market sinking is necessary for zombies to attack the city?

or maybe

It's necessary for the market to sink if zombies attack the city?

How do I make this into English correctly?

I'll keep it short and sweet: KICK ASS TODAY! :)

It's a dull pencil that useful for bubbling but the admission ticket says only HB/#2 are allowed. It has no number (HB/#2).

Would it be allowed?

Are cap erasers allowed (no eraser on pencil)?

I'm a recent graduate looking for a study buddy in New Jersey or New York area to meet in person or via skype to study. I'm around edison, New Brunswick area but also not too far from the city. My goal is to get a 165+ on the lsat. Please email me if interested kwakes3@gmail.com.

I’ve been struggling with questions like this. It’s clear that the author is using an attack on the character of the writer, but that part where (A) says “as evidence that this person is not competent on matters of scientific substance” is not descriptively accurate. The author’s argument doesn't mention R’s competence on matters of scientific substance, it only tries to say the _book_ doesn't merit professional attention.

Hello!

Simple question + looking for confirmation.

If a rule says: If Sarah is cool, she will go to the party with her sister; otherwise, she will not.

Sarah cool ---> Party with sister

~ Sarah Cool ---> ~ Party with sister

Yes? I read somewhere that this is like an 'if and only if' rule... can someone comment?

Their contrapositives:

~Party with sister ---> ~Sarah cool

Party with sister --> Sarah cool

On the MC Score Sheets, at the top, it requests the LSAC Account Number, the Social Insurance Number, the Center Number, and the Test Form Code. Are we required to memorize all this information?

Hey everyone, if someone could give me a quick explanation on failing either the sufficient or necessary I would greatly appreciate it.

In LSAT Prep Test 15 (June 1995) - Section 4 - Logic Game 3 JY does exactly that during question 19. Here is a link: http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-15-section-4-game-3/

There I asked, "Can I get clarification on how rule 5 becomes irrelevant during question 19? I usually understand satisfying the necessary but this mixed me up. If F is on 4 and 6, then J has to be on 3; that I understand. Because of this, G does not have to be on 1, correct? However, it still can be. When the necessary condition is satisfied through the question stem (as that is what happens in 19) then sufficient condition (G) becomes a floater?"

Furthermore, JY also shows a similar scenario when explaining rule 3 here: http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-11-section-1-game-2/

Thanks!

This question really bothers me. I do not understand it. PT 68-part 2, question 21. This is a disagree question about why law firm decided to settle a case instead of going to trial. Do we need to assume that jury/judge would not award more than the legal fees if the case went to trial? Why are they talking only about settlement and not judgement?

Can anyone give me a good example of "the only" as a sufficient conditional indicator? Possibly differentiating it from the 5 "only" (only, only if, only where, only when, only those).

Reference to these: http://classic.7sage.com/lesson/4-translation-groups-cheatsheet/

I know I can just plug in "the only" to "all" in the phrase "all horses are strong" but "the only horses are strong" doesn't make sense to me immediately. I would really appreciate a great example!

+ I would also appreciate a good example of "always" as a necessary conditional indicator :D

Has anyone created their own LG pkg sort of like the Cambridge pkgs that you wouldn't mind sharing? I know I'm asking a lot. LOL I've started and stopped trying to complete my own pkg a few times. I'm looking for maybe a list of each question type for each LG question type for all LSATs available. I have LR pkg just didn't want to pay for the LG pkg just yet. Anything would be greatly appreciated!! Also, those who have purchased the LG pkgs, is it worth it?

Hi. Is there anyone who made such a drastic improvement?

Would really appreciate if they can share their experience and strategies. Thanks a lot.

Hi guys,

Sorry for the endless score-related posts I've been doing!

I have been doing a couple PTs a week lately, and I've seen a very gradual increase to about a 162 average. The other day I got a 167, but the next PT I took was back down to 160. The 167 was when I had the entire day dedicated to the test, and the 160 was after a long day at work. Do you think this is enough to account for the score discrepancy, or was the 167 more likely a fluke?

Of course you are. You're about to take an important test. It's not the most important test though. That one you will be taking in September.

Just kidding. This is likely the last LSAT you'll ever take.

I'm only trying to remind you that for something this important, there are second chances. That's not true for a lot of other important things in life, so that's something to feel good about.

For most of you, you already know what score you'll get. Take your last three recent properly administered LSAT PrepTests (e.g., 69, 70, 71) and average your score. You'll get plus or minus 3 points of that average.

There is nothing separating you from that score except the mere passing of a few day's time.

You are as prepared as you can be. You have already seen everything those crafty LSAT writers will throw at you and you've amply demonstrated your ability to respond with craftiness of your own.

Monday will not be a new day and the June 2014 LSAT will not be a new LSAT. It will only be "LSAT PrepTest 72" which will be just like PT 71 and PT 70 and PT 69 and so on.

For Monday, remember only this: keep moving.

You will encounter a few insanely difficult curve breaker questions. Every LSAT has them. Every student who has ever taken the LSAT before you has encountered them. You will encounter them (again) on Monday. I am telling you this now, so you will be prepared. Skip those difficult questions. Maintain your rhythm.

Keep moving.

You got this.

I was wondering if you guys went over whole of the curriculum first and then started doing full pretests, or were you doing them as you go along ? Also were you doing whole length pretests or just sections?

-Thnx

Do any of the practice tests provided have 5 sections? How important is it to do practice tests with the full 5 sections?

In other words, is going through the whole course and the 35 prep tests enough to realize one's maximum potential? Is it necessary to do other earlier prep tests under timed condition? Also, after blind review, is it necessary to do the tests repeatedly?

Anyone studying for the September/October LSAT located in the East Bay/SF area?

Please read every word of this.

Please leave your smartphones at home. If proctors see it, they will call security and physically remove you from the test center.

Hey everybody,

I'm drilling some Cambridge MSS questions and Im having some trouble with the idea of them. I think of them as "Must Be True" questions, even though I know that we are looking for conclusions, but for some reason, JY's videos don't seem to help me, and this particular problem threw me for a loop. Can anybody explain their particular methods for solving these? I've learned a lot from people telling me their methods, and in particular, can anybody explain this problems? The explanations I've read on Manhattan's LR forums and Kaplan's explanation aren't helping... (To give further context, out of ten of these questions, I'll probably get 8 right, and 6 of those right ones will be due to POE since for some reason, my prephases dont come out right...)

http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-69-section-4-question-08/

I picked D, which is wrong, and I kind of knew it would. I could not pick C because the it did not translate to what I needed.

Incompetent----> Does not complete

CP Completes ------> Not incompetent.

But the problem for me here was that not incompetent does not( according to our negation lessons) equal competent right?

Hi, I know this topic has been covered in the forum already but I thought I'd ask again for more input.

I'm currently debating whether to continue and upgrade 7Sage course or travel abroad to take the in-class Testmasters. I'm scoring in the 150s and I feel as though the class structure + homework would help me pull up my score a bit from there which I can pull up further with 7Sage on my own.

Any thoughts?

I'm having what I think is a weird issue. I'm not doing well with the MP/MC questions but I seem to be doing ok with the other questions. Doesn't that seem odd? If I'm having trouble with the MP/MC questions how am I able to do the other question types? Isn't this question type the most important as far as LR questions? If you can't identify the argument how can you be successful with the other question types? I think my problem is that I can determine the main conclusion if the indicator words are there but not so much if they're not. So, I'm not getting many of the harder questions correct. I'm not doing so well with determining the premises, sub-conclusions, etc. I'm using Manhattan along with 7 Sage. Obviously I have more reviewing and studying to do, but what am I missing? I'm just not getting this question type. I'm taking September test so I still have time. It's just kind of frustrating. I've been studying off and on for the past year due to some major health issues. I'm just now getting back into really studying so I know I may just be rusty but I wasn't getting these questions right when I was studying hardcore. Any questions or thoughts?
