Hi Everyone!

Based on the discussion title, what should be the average increase in points from the diagnostic to the second test we take?

I went up 6 points in the second test and I'm feeling a bit down. What I thought to be my strongest sections in the LSAT became my weakest ones on the second PT.

Ex: On my diagnostic, my strongest sections were LG and RC. After taking the test, my most improved section was LR, and I bombed RC and LG.

Should I take a small break from the tests to do more drills in LG and RC? Or should I "keep calm and carry on" with the prep tests?

Thanks a ton!

Hey guys, I have heard from a friend that retaking an old PT (that you have done in the past) under timed condition is a good idea because after all, PTs are scarce and by repeating an old PT, you get to re-engage and consolidate the thinking process.

Good or a waste of time?

Thoughts?

Two weeks til the test.. anyone got a list of 5-10 Logic Games that are unordinary or very difficult? Want to make sure I don't get thrown off on Test day.

Thanks!

Guys, I still have 12 complete PT (57-68) intact. Taking June LSAT on 6/23 (I'm taking it in Asia so the date is different).

Trying to divide entire 48 sections into 9 full PTs with 5 sections each and remaining 3 sections to keep me engaged during the last two days before test. Any thoughts? Good/bad idea?

This question is presumably directed to Alan (who is a tech-wiz ferreal): can you put a feature to star explanations?

I'm cataloging the hardest questions I've come across and want a way to mark them, similar to how individual lessons are marked. Can we already do this?

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone had on advice of how to best practice logical reasoning with a mix of questions? I'm fine on accuracy and timing if I focus on a particular question type like on the drills, but I'm loosing accuracy once I take the timed practice tests. Is there a good method anyone has figured out to practice the mixed questions that minimizes taking out sections from the practice tests? (I don't want to use too many sections LR of the practice tests, since I want to save them for use as practice tests).

Thanks,

Michelle

Hey everyone,

Thanks again for the excellent material. I really wish I came across 7sage earlier in my studies.

I apologize if there's already a thread or section for this, so feel free to just move this discussion. I thought this could just be a place for users to make broad suggestions for the website - whether or not they can be implemented.

In the comments, I've noticed the staff is extremely responsive, nice, and open, so I hope this can be useful to them as well!

For me, the first thing would be, in addition to being able to mark all as completed, to be able to mark off individual lessons manually.

I'm cherry picking lessons that sound interesting because of my limited time, and they're not recording as being completed. This is forcing me to waste time remembering if I did this lesson or not already.

Thanks again!

What do you guys think of Prep Test 62? Anybody thought it was particularly difficult? Opinion appreciated.

my plan is take one prep test on Monday and another one on Thursday, while the test is on Sunday (I'm taking it in Asia).

What should I do in the last two days, Friday and Saturday? Drill a bit to stay alert but not too much?

What do you guys think?

Thanks!

Could someone please help me to find where in the course I can find how to deal with "logically complete question stem". I am working on PT 59 S2 Q24 and I think I misinterpreted what was required. Are these questions MBT or MC?

Pure sequencing game. Rule was something like W is before S OR S if before T BUT NOT BOTH... I was drawing a blank for a while. Doesn't that mean, in a nutshell, S will never be b/w W & T either before both or after both? Also, how do you draw that into your grand scheme efficiently? This game should have taken 6m, but drained 12 due to me not handling those 2 "or/not both" rules well.

Ok..I feel there is just no way I could have got this question. It is a most strengthen question and I feel the answer choice weakens the argument. The job is to sure up the fact that a volcanic event is the probable cause rather than meteorites. The part of B that says 'no known natural cause would likely account ...' I was thinking isn't meteorite as well as volcanoes natural causes so I immediately eliminated it. What do you guys think about this question?

Hi, I come across this problem in argument part questions: is a hypothesis the same thing as a statement?

I usually eliminate the wrong answer choices by matching them up to the stimulus (Ex. I eliminate the answer choice starts with "it is a premise " because I id'ed the statement as a conclusion). But some argument part questions describes statements differently (A) "This is a statement" or B) "this is a hypothesis for which the author supports." Should we eliminate answer choices that call it a hypothesis when it is a statement? Is there even a difference.

Ex: Is a "Fetuses develop fingernails in the third week of development" a statement?

Is " Scientists say fetuses develop fingernails in the third week" a hypothesis?

This question is very difficult because I just cannnot understand the stimulus. Could I please get an explanation of this question stem and answer choices?

First sentence I diagrammed as: wind & below 84-> pleasant. The second part of this question I diagrammed as : above 84 or no wind ->oppressive. I incorrectly got answer choice (B) it has something to do the the humidity but I was able to add it to my diagramming. Help please.

I do not understand the difference between answer choice C and D. How do you suggest that I decipher between two choices that are so close. I tried to incorporate them into the passage and incorrectly thought that D was a winner.

I've noticed that in some LR questions, there would be sentences that start off like "Even though","although". These sentences are qualifying the the argument a bit more correct? I remember in one particular video something about this, I think it was acknowledging something so as to prevent the reader from using it against the argument or something like that...

What are your opinions on this?

Hi Alan,

I noticed that for every PT, you have to fill out the answer sheet no matter what in order to get to the explanation video.

I've already taken a few PT's before the LSAT score sheet was implemented and for some of those PT's I don't have my answer anymore (all i have is my PT with writing and scibbles on it which I just use to refer too). I've used my own spreadsheet prior to the implemented lsat score sheet.

If possible, would it be possible for video explanations to have its own little dropbox with a heading like "Video Explanation for Preptest X" in each PT webpage that you can open and close like in the "Progress" page for each PT without having to resort to filling out the answer sheet? (e.g., if you click the title of a group of question types like "Method of Reasoning", it collapses the lessons and uncollapse them clicked on the title again".

What i've been doing when reviewing older PT's that I took awhile ago, I would bubble in one random answer choice, then click "Score" and then scroll and look for the question that I would need a video explanation for.

Ask anything you like :)

Hello there. Question on point of issue questions - which is better? doing the list method or reading through and determining the disagreement/agreement?

Fumbling between methods made me lose time on my recent PTs. I either start list method and then find the POI is easy to see and lose time or try reading and have to do list method because POI is not too clear cut.

Advice appreciated. Thanks 7sagers!
