I'm really confused between A and D too and can't still understand why A is wrong.

I chose A. The reason why I thought D was wrong is "widely accepted theory" part. The author said it has "gradually" won accepted (Line 20) rather than widely accepted. I think gradually accepted and widely accepted are totally different.

So how is it possible D is the right answer?

And why is A wrong?

Please someone enlighten me.

Thanks!

Hi,

My name is Michelle taking 2014 June test. I really want to achieve my goal score by June so that I can focus on the application procedure during Fall. I had to make a decision to take a leave from work in order to completely focus on studying – this shows how much I am serious and determined. I am looking for someone who can share this motivation and be a support each other. I’ve studied with few other people and found it very effective to analyze questions together and talk it out and explain to each other.

I met good studying buddies through 7 sage forum but they all live little far. So wanted to find someone close by so that we can meet up in person. I live close to Downtown LA so anyone around me to meet up and study together I am down any time. However, I found Skype or Phone are still very good communication tool. So anyone who has the same goal and motivation Please contact me at 213.700.3059 or michellemoon0708@gmail.com. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Michelle

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 taken the test in December and cancelled. I spent the last two months drilling and cementing all the skills I've learned before December (which was TRULY helpful. I don't think I really had a grasp of the concepts).

I am still bad at timing in logic games and I am looking to drill LG in the evenings. I'm at -1/-2 in RC and LR. Is it realistic to expect to improve to the 170+ range these next two months? I plan on taking 5 tests a week for the next 8 weeks, BR in the evenings and also drill. That prepares me to take about 40 tests. Or is this overkill?

Can anyone help me with these types of questions? It is consistently one of these types that is the only LR question I get wrong, and I haven't been able to find a system to really figure out what they want. I always have it down to two possible answers - how do I know exactly what they want? Time is not an issue, I just need a method.

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)

Retaking LSATs

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?

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?

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

I'm looking for a study buddy or buddies to review via skype. We can work out a study regimen that works for both parties. Please reach out only if you've gone through most of the curriculum and are well-versed in the 7sage concepts. Thanks!

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 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 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 am looking for a very dedicated study buddy. I am taking the June LSAT, and I am going to work very hard to reach a 160+ score. I currently have a 155 in the December LSAT. I will be using a combination of materials, 7sages and LSAT Trainer mostly. If you are not extremely serious about this exam, please do not respond. I will be making the lsat my full time job. If you are interested in meeting once a week to review and share notes and go over wrong questions please respond. Thank you.

Answering a question problem

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?

Diagramming problem

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!
