Hello,

I have bachelor's degree in science that when it comes down to reading paragraphs about political science or social science, I tend to have difficulty drilling down the core of what the paragraphs mean. Now that I have decided to take the time to prepare for LSAT properly (I'm aiming to take LSAT in December 2014), I was hoping I can improve my reading and writing for the meantime.

Can someone recommend me some list of books that will help me be familiar with pol sci/ social sci subjects?

Many thanks and wish you best of the season!

I have been using the program for the last couple of months and have been seeing results. Though I am not in my target range yet, I am getting close to my range during blind review. Sometimes I notice things with time that I didn't notice the first time around and other times I just get to answer questions that I didn't have time to get to during the timed exam. My question is...what does getting a question right in BR really mean? Does it mean you are capable of getting this type of question right the next go around or does it mean that your real struggle is with timing? I'd love to hear the insights of people who have been going at this for longer than I have :).

ok I know this is dumb, but is there sufficiency necessity confusion with mind on the money and money on the mind?

or is it the same relationship?

I stumbled upon a role played question and came up with an unanswered question. Here it is:

Assumptions are always known as "implicitly" implied. So does this mean that whenever an actual claim's role within the argument is being asked about, then the answer to the question can never say something a long the lines of "it is an assumption on which the argument depends"?

I figured that if some claim is an assumption, then it would not have explicitly been said to start with?

Please help!

thanks

Dear 7sagers,

Okay... so, I have been studying the LSAT for exactly one year and one week! Anyway, I have done much study. I have a 10 pound binder with notes of every single 7sage LSAT lesson. I also have a stack of note cards to quiz me on every aspect of conditional logic and argument flaws. I have also bought books on conditional logic and have studied them on the side. After a year of study, I have improved my baseline timed score from a 148 to a 162 and a baseline BR score from a 168 to a 175.

Originally, when I took the PrepTests, I would take an LSAT timed, and then retake the entire LSAT as BR. Then, I would review my answers. However, I noticed by the time I checked my answers, I no longer remembered the train of thought that I had for each question. So, if I got one wrong, I didn't really remember the faulty train of logic that led to my wrong conclusion.

To counteract this, I have started taking LSATs one question at a time! I first do the question timed (I find out how much time per section I have for each question... usually on Logical Reasoning sections, I have about 1:20 to finish each question). Then, right after I take the question timed, I do a blind review if I feel like I need to. Then, I check the answer. This way, I know exactly what I was thinking if I got the question right/wrong and how to improve upon it.

Don't get me wrong, I still take full-length timed LSATs. But, I have been using this method to change things up, and to supplement JY's method. Let me know if this makes sense to you! If it does, I recommend trying it!

*I also recommend taking a full-timed LSAT then checking the answer to each question after you BR them individually. This way, your BR train of thought is still in your head when you see the answer.

I wish you luck!

Happy Holidays!,

Bret

Hello Everyone,

I believe this video pertains to one of the Logical Reasoning Questions in PT 37, S4 Q6- Something along the lines of a research conducted by usage of baby monkeys and its caregiver.

Real World Problems!

Don't get sad seeing the little guy :(

Did it eat anyone else's lunch as completely as it did mine? Ouch!

Anyone know of/recommend any of the services available to help with personal statements, resumes, etc…. ?

Hey guys,

At the beginning of JY's RC passage readings and logic game videos, he always says "this should take you X amount of minutes". Do you guys generally look at his time recommendations and use them as guidelines for when you do the test? For the games, understandably its important to know how long it should take you when you're reviewing them and getting faster at forcing out inferences and finishing the game. But what about for reading comp? I have about 24 fresh tests left (for the February LSAT) so i'm debating whether i should start doing that.

For Main Point questions, are they asking us to kind of mechanically pick out the conclusion of the argument, as indicated by words such as "thus", "therefore" etc or are they asking us to fully read and understand the argument and pick the answer choice that best captures what the stimulus is aiming to prove? Basically is main point = conclusion or does it mean the gist of the stimulus?

Hey guys, I'm planning on taking the LSAT in February. Would like to form study partners in Phoenix area. email fawzinur1@gmail.com

I am reorganizing all my material and have a stack of old (3-4 month old) PTs I never thoroughly reviewed... worth my time going back and reviewing to correct my errors or has it been too long and would defeat the purpose? It might be a personal thing, but I feel like it would be beneficial.

Do you have to do and go over all the 7058 questions ever released before you're prepared for the lsat? I'm probably gonna take the Feb exam but there won't be enough time to do and go over every prep test so I'm thinking of skipping prep tests 1-20, maybe I'll be forced to skip even more. What do you guys think?

I'm confused as to why the answer can't be C.

If supply goes down, and halibut is NOT replaced by other fish, then that means that supply has gone down, and even if demand stays the same the price will go up according to the law of supply and demand. There is nothing to suggest that demand will decrease in this scenario.

Anyone having a hard time changing answers during the Blind Review? I find myself biased toward the initial answer chosen and convince myself to stick with the original choice regardless if it turns out to be right or not...

Hey all,

I just got an email from Harvard saying that they've changed this year's application deadline to March 1 due to the snow storm. Does this mean it's feasible to apply with the FEB 2014 LSAT scores? for all schools? just Harvard?

Let me know if anybody knows more about this!

Thanks,

Sujin

Looking for study partner Michigan ...I'm in Roseville. Please contact me if interested. Thanks

I don't think skype is the answer, but I have heard that taking a weekly [or so] full LSAT in a group is key. Maybe I will pretend everyone in the library is doing a preptest, cause even though this is worldwide, it makes some city & states so remote like PCB FL. The college message board, if there is such a thing, might help. Ha.

Does the app require a separate account from my 7sage account? I've tried to log in multiple times yesterday and today with the correct email address or username and password only to see "wrong password" or "try later".

Hi,

I am hoping there's at least one person out there looking for a study buddy. I plan on taking the Feb, 2014 LSAT and could team up with someone who is looking to go hard and kill this exam. comtact me at adrianmondesir@gmail.com.

Thanks

I'll be back in Orlando late March. April and May I plan on going to UCF every single day to study in the library.

It would be cool to have a partner in crime.

Got any tips JY? Or 7sage community in general?

I realize this is specifically lsat prep but any advice for the next step would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to figure out which one is experiment section and trying to score myself.

Any advice, suggestion and idea?
