Hello!

Can anyone help explain this question from the grammar section on comparatives?

"At least 59 percent of households maintained a lower indoor temperature than they had been accustomed to maintain on very cold days"

I'm signed up for August, planning to kick it to September.

Anyone know what the difference is between (1) paying to sign-up for September today, and withdrawing for August, and (2) letting the September deadline pass today, and changing my August test date before exam day? It seems like you pay the same amount regardless. I'm wondering if you get a 'Candidate Cancel/Withdrawn' on your record in one scenario vs. the other?

Hi everyone,

I've been preparing for the LSAT for quite some time. Last year, I went through a significant amount of study material and took several prep tests. After completing the application process, I decided to reapply this year, which led me to continue my LSAT prep.

However, I'm facing a challenge. The new prep tests are compilations of sections from old prep tests, which makes it challenging to find fresh prep tests. Additionally, because I’ve done a lot of drilling both last year and this year, I’m running out of fresh tests, especially from 130 downward.

Has anyone else faced this issue? Any suggestions on how to approach this situation or find more fresh prep tests? Is it worth completing prep tests although segments from sections may have been drilled previously?

I'd appreciate any tips or resources that might help me keep my prep going strong.

Thanks in advance!

So I have identified a problem that I have no idea how to approach. In any given section, I will miss 4 questions. However, I've found that I always know the questions I'm going to miss in advance and that I typically end up overthinking problems that are not realistically complex (3s or 4s). How do I stop myself from second-guessing the complexity of the question and trying to outsmart the test writers? How do y'all convince yourselves that you are right on questions that seem like they are blatantly attempting to trick you, especially considering the time-constraints?

Hello! If anyone could clarify where I’m misunderstanding, I would be so grateful!

So the diagram for this is: (B - banker, A - athlete, L - lawyer)

B —> A

L—> /B (the contrapositive would be B —> /L)

—

So you can conclude A (—s—) /L (some athletes are not lawyers- which I believe is the right answer.)

Taking the contrapositive of the first statement is where I have some issues:

/A —> /B

L —> /B

—

/A (—s—) L

And since some is bidirectional, it seems wrongly to read like B (some non-athletes are lawyers or some lawyers are non- athletes)?

Hello,

I have reached the final logical reasoning question type: parallel or analogy. This question type has highlighted how much I struggle with mapping out formal logic. It isn't necessarily that I don't understand the principles, but rather, where to begin? Once I watch the explanation video and see the first step, I am able to fully understand how to continue, it's just the initial step.

Furthermore, I especially struggle with identifying all of the different logical reasoning ploys, i.e., reason by analogy, appeal to authority, sample to population generalization, and so on.... It seems like there are so many different subtypes that it's difficult to remember them all. Does anyone have a cheat sheet which simply explains all of these niche logical reasoning tactics?

Thanks so much,

Sav

Hi,

I'm starting my lsat studies back up and the study scheduler v2 says to take the June 2007 diagnostic however I plan on taking the new format and I already took that diagnostic when I was originally studying. Should I just start with PT 101 in the new/current format as my diagnostic OR should I skip it and start doing the lessons and save the new format PTs to do once a week. My plan is to start studying the week of July 22nd and study until October, then depending on where i am PT'ing by that point I plan on taking the exam near that time. Any thoughts or advice is much appreciated, thanks!

Hey Everybody,

Taking the August LSAT and PT'ing in the 170s.

Was wondering if anyone had considered starting at the end of LR sections, spending the most amount of time/mental energy on the generally more difficult last 10 questions, and working their way to the front. So rather than racing through the hardest section of the test while mentally fatigued, you're the "freshest" and have the most time.

Similarly with RC, why not give the most time and energy to the (usually) toughest two passages at the end, rather than the first two?

I can't see an obvious reason this wouldn't work or that there are any significant drawbacks. Although, I'm definitely not the first person to consider this, nor does this seem like the "meta"/something commonly recommended by 7Sage. So there's gotta be some reason to not do it like this right?

Thanks for reading!
