I was looking at the locked content to see what I would gain access to if I were to upgrade to the ultimate course pack when I noticed that PTs 36-45 are unlocked for those with the premium package. I have the premium package but they are locked for me. Any help would be much appreciated.

I suck at weaken questions too, but I suck even more at strengthen questions.

One of the problems is, I tend to try to focus on the error in the passage, so sometimes I fall for the weakening answers which addresses the error(this is especially true for strengthen EXCEPT questions)...

Another problem is, strengthening is so hard to do! Sometimes I think an answer choice blocks a potential assumption and thereby strengthens, but later I learn that apparently the answer was entirely irrelevant. And sometimes I pick an answer choice which I really think strengthens the argument but apparently it's irrelevant too.

I don't know about you guys, but I feel that the LSAT has taught me sooo much, knowledge that I would never have acquired without writing this test, from diverse fields such as literature, arts, science, etc. The best thing though, is that I actually retain these information, most likely due to the fact that I have to actively think about and reflect upon the information I read, and as a result my head retains it, as opposed to boring school stuff that I quickly forget because my brain was not actively processing them or simply trying to remember without thinking.

But of course the validity and truthfulness of the information presented in LSAT is a necessary assumption in order for my claim to be made. Imagine if all the stuff are just made up, how embarrassing would it be when I try to show off my knowledge in front of my friends :p

How different is the Experimental Section compared to what we are used to? I'm concerned that I'm going to get thrown off and frustrated if one of the sections throws me for the loop (i.e. an Experimental Section).

Any insight into this section?

thanks.

Recent trend for Logic Games?

I've been practicing logic games from PT 52-61recently, finding these games seem much different from the older ones like those from 1-50. I heard people saying that the logic games from PT 52-61 are actually easier than the older ones. But I personally found them more challenging.

I haven't touched PT 62-72 yet. Can someone tell me whether or how the games in these PTs are different from those in PT 52-61?

I simply had no clue for this one. And the correct AC seems to be making a huge assumption so I didn't choose it. Can we really reasonably infer that thieves who do not abandon cars before their owners notice that they have been stolen are more likely to get arrested and convicted? This just seem to be way too big of a gap, and frankly an unreasonable one, to be made.

Why do car thieves steal cars? To sell them or to keep them. So it's totally reasonable to assume that thieves DO NOT abandon the car right after stealing it. And I simply don't see how this makes them more likely to get caught as they could have driven really fast and got far away before the cops could do something.

Has anyone else had trouble with this question? What do you think?

Building RC Confidence

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had good suggestions for building RC confidence with regards to specific passage topics? I was a Humanities major in college and I tend to do pretty okay on RC passages that are about art/history/diversity (-1 or -2 per passage on average). But whenever I encounter passages about science (any and all kinds of science...) or really jargon-y law stuff, I perform very inconsistently, at times even getting most questions wrong. I think a lot of it has to do with just not feeling confident about these topics. So I've tried to read academic science journals from which the LSAT passages were taken, but I found them to be rather overwhelming.

Thank you for your time in advance and I would appreciate any suggestions!

I am currently scoring 159 consistently and have not been able to break 160. There are less than four weeks for the September LSAT. I was hoping to get a 165, but not sure if that is possible.

Should I take the December LSAT? I am only hesitant because of how much work I have done (all while working), that any more and I will go crazy.

180watch

Hi everyone I'm looking for the 180watch or any other similar watch that has a button that resets it. Message me if anyone is selling or knows of a similar watch I could buy. Thank you all!

Hey there,

As we're getting closer to the September test, I see a lot of posts regarding whether one should post-pone the test for December in hopes of studying more and and getting a higher score>More money and applying this school year or even waiting until February and applying next year (because law school isn't going anywhere and nobody would want to mess up this one time shot at scoring their best/readiest and getting into better school and owe less money at the end).

My concern is how much do you think the person that applies December Vs September could lose out as far getting the application in line first? Though it is true that the LSAT score is the most important part of the application, and every point literarily counts and could put you in a higher percentile> better school>More scholarship, when does the application being late vs having a few higher points start hurting the look of your application? for example would someone with a 160 taking September LSAT, applying before thanksgiving ( the appropriate time to have everything posted, with schools opening application Oct 1st) get into "better schools" ?than someone with a 164 applying almost late December ? I would appreciate anyone that has looked into this matter or has solid information that could help me out!

I just purchased the Premium version of 7sage and received an e-mail confirming that my card had been charged, however I do not have access to the premium tools, only the free version that the website thinks I am enrolled in. It keeps telling me to upgrade. Can anyone help me out? Seems that this has happened to other people before.

Would anyone in the Philly/Delco region (and beyond as long as you're willing to make the trip) like to get together on Saturday, September 13th to take a practice exam? The 7sage proctor with the background noise is great, but I can think of a few bodily noises that it's missing. Nothing like the real thing, but we can come close (to the test simulation I mean). Also, a post-exam review session could but doesn't have to figure into the plans for the day.

If there's a group already doing this, please let me know.

Probably the majority of us seeing this discussion forum have not taken the LSAT before, but, do you have any special advice, experience, do's and don´ts that you would like to share regarding LSAT test day?

That's a lie.

For anyone who is struggling with logic games and feels like they'll just never get it -- stick with it. It's going to be painful for a little while, a few days, maybe even a week or two, but if you go through the fire, eventually you'll wake up on morning and realize the games get easier and easier.

As it says on the box cover really, I'm mostly concerned regarding the endurance difference that comes from taking a 4 vs. 5 section LSAT. I've essentially been building up endurance using 4 sections up till now, with the intent of switching to 5 section LSATs from here on. What kind of score fluctuations and endurance differences should I expect?

Increasing LR scores

Logical reasoning is absolutely destroying my LSAT scores- i'm only getting like 60-70% of the questions correct. Im having trouble with FLAW, MSS in particular. I have re-watched and re-did all the tutorials and it hasn't seemed to help. Any tips or tricks will be greatly appreciated. :)

MBT and MSS questions

So I was watching this video

http://classic.7sage.com/lesson/valid-argument-form-3-review/?ss_completed_lesson=948

and at 1:47 JY says that for MBT questions they are hiding the conclusion so you must supply the conclusion. So this made me wonder that are MBT (must be true) questions and MSS (most strongly supported) questions basically the same thing where we are supposed to find what the conclusion is, which is basically tucked in to the answer choices unlike main point questions where you are just supposed to find it in the stimulus and slap a label.

Kind of confused with these two question types. Can someone please explain the differences.

Thanks!

Hi all!

I was just wondering if anyone has noticed a trend in the difficulty of the passages in the reading comp section? I find that the first two are typically easier than the rest but wanted to hear your thoughts! In terms of questions, I've been finding the very first question to always be more difficult that the rest.

Happy studying!

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?
