good morning all ,

hope your Easter was fun!!

NA-they are kicking my butt!

negating the right answer usually will get me only a few correct but for the most part it confuses me.

when approaching necessary assumptions my mind reverts to Sufficient assumption techniques because I don't have a clear understanding of how to attack necessary assumptions.

what approach did you use , or how did you overcome necessary assumption questions?

help me my fellow LSAT warriors !

I have noticed that the reason why I cannot increase from mid 150's to 160's is that I suck at gouging games! Do you think that if I do nothing but grouping games for an entire week my LR and RC score might drop?

I just finished PT 61, and after blind reviewing it extensively, I feel like it would be beneficial to completely retake 61 again. This is the method recommended for logic games, for example. I am wondering why this is not recommended for whole LSATs?

I have the need to prove/ explain why every answer choice wrong before I feel confident with the correct answer. by the time it's time for me to select the right answer, I see much work on my scratch paper that I overlook the correct answer! suggestions on how I can stop feeling the need to prove why the wrong answers are wrong?

secondly, how are you guys working to improve attention to detail? i rush to finish in time, and end up missing out on important details. (Especially on Logic Games)

HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

I am having a really hard time wrapping my head around Negating "All" I am in the section about "Some and Most Relationships."

If All-->Most-->Some and the negation of Some is None, then why isn't the negation of All then None?

I don't understand how we reach "Some...not..." I tried replaying the video and reading comments but it just doesn't click

so I'm constantly refreshing the page

any helpful tips are welcomed....

thank you

does anybody fear that they might LOL during the actual test? Imagine intense concentration on test day, suddenly disturbed by an absurd answer choice

Im sure I have heard the answer to this question in the lessons but I cant find it now. What is the best way to practice tests of 5 sections instead of just 4? I have only done 4 practice tests so far. Do the later practice tests have a fifth in the pdfs or do I just need to add a section?

I just noticed that most questions that are answered by JY are the older ones, why no one is replying back to the newer questions asked?

Hey everyone, we changed over our credit card processing a couple of days ago. One student mentioned some difficulties with purchasing, and we're working with them to resolve it right now.

If you've encountered any difficulties with the checkout system, please let us know!

I chose D, but the answer is C.

Doesn't the passage talk about theoretician's perspective about the satellites of asteroids?

I can't see why D can't be an answer.

Can anyone explain me why D is wrong and C is right?

Thanks!

Hello,

I have been studying off and on for the last year or so. From my initial diagnostic of 139 I scored a 155 on the december lsat. I began studying again after taking a three month break. Initial diagnostic this time is at 152. My goal is to get to a 160. However, recently, my energy levels and focus has begun to drop! I need help getting pumped up and maintaining my M-S 9-12 and 2:4 schedule. I cannot afford not to get a 160 or more. I quit my job to study all day!

I have a question about the strategy of answering questions.

It takes me around three to four minutes to read the whole passage and I can understand most of it and memorize/summerize before solving questions.

However, it usually takes me too much time to answer questions. For example, 3 mins to read a passage, but 6 to 7 mins to answer questions. So of course, I usually run out of time to take RC.

It drives me crazy even if I understand the passage when I read.

So I have no idea why it takes me so much time and what I'm going to reduce the time to work out questions.

Can anyone give me some advice?

Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to take notes through the syllabus?

Hi all,

So I have been studying over 7 months for this darn exam, but I am still not reaching my potential despite significant gains! For instance, I blind review at a 169, but receive only about 50 correct under timed conditions. I leave 40-60 questions unanswered. I have seen dramatic increases in my LG after going through all of 7sage's LG lessons, so thanks a lot for that YJ! However, my LR and RC have remained stagnant and I feel I hit a hump here completing about 14-18 LR's/section and 13-14 RC's/section. I have faith that I can get over these humps, considering I have score perfect on all three sections before.

However, RC is my main problem right now, since it is difficult to cut problems, and do much more practice on apart from blind reviewing the passages in comparison to "the fool proof method to a perfect LG section method." After reading an RC book by manhattan and going up a handful of points to about 11 correct on RC, I have consistently scored 9-13 correct on this section without fail. This is sort of expected, because I don't really practice RC the way I do LG, as I don't drill RC at all besides in PTs' (I am scared to run out of RC passages for PTs' - stupid I know), but I also replaced them with Economist passage drills. In any case, Is their any suggestions for both RC and getting my speed up to a 160+ speed?

Thanks everyone!

I live in an artist cooperative. It is stated in our Bylaws "Except for the chairperson of the committee, such committee members need not be Directors."

The chairperson of one of our committees is not a Director.

That doesn't fly with the logic of the given Bylaws, right? Doesn't the chairperson NEED to be an elected Director? The quote-unquote chairperson in question says that I'm wrong, and that the chairpersons of our committees need not be Directors. Who is right?

Hi to all you smarty pants out there! I'm hoping to get your feedback/tips.

In LG questions where the rules from conditional chains (e.g. preptest 33 December 2000 "Birds in the Forest" game) does anyone copy the conditional chain over for each question in order to cross out failed/irrelevant rules along with drawing up a new game board? It seems much clearer/more accurate to work out failed conditions and their inferences this way, but I am worried about the time restraints on test day. Your thoughts?

Art passages in RC give me the most trouble, and I want to become more comfortable with these. Can anyone recommend websites that have articles about art that are at the LSAT's level of reading?

No A is B until C are both D and E.

Since there're two conditional expressions ("No~is~" and "~until~") in one sentence, I'm confused how it makes as a diagram (eg. A->B sth like that).

Which one is the sufficient condition and the necessary condition?

Please explain me.

Thanks!

I am having hard time to see the relevance of the answer E.

And I have no idea why B is wrong. :(

Can anyone explain me why E is right and B is wrong?

Thanks!

I was down to A and E, and am having a difficult time understanding why A is incorrect and E is the right answer.

Can someone please enlighten me?

I don't understand why E is wrong.

Can anyone explain me why E is wrong?

Thanks!

I cannot understand why Answer E) is wrong! Can someone please look at this question, its rather tricky.

If almost every = (51-99) why can I not conclude that on some W Zack does not offer half priced coffee all day?

JY! You need to have one one of these events/meet ups over here in the Bay Area!

Hello! My name is Shirin and I'm creating this discussion for anyone who was at Overlook last night and wants to keep in touch.

JY, thank you for organizing this amazing event, it was really awesome to meet you and everyone else. I left with new knowledge and insight, the phrase "LSAT employed" comes to mind.
