Hey everybody! I am struggling between what topic to use for my personal statement and how to structure it. If someone could please message me and let me know if they can help me with that. Thanks!

Hi!

The premise for PT61 S4 Q24 says "Most long-term friendships begin because someone felt comfortable approaching a stranger."

I am a bit confused as how to map this out but I think I have an idea.

I initially thought the word "because" would make the idea following the word "because" become on the right side when put into lawgic form:

felt comfortable approaching stranger -> long-term friendship.

However, is it because of the word "Most" that makes the lawgic form become:

friends -most-> felt comfortable approaching stranger

Am I confusing "because, since, and for", by thinking I am looking for premise and conclusion when I already know what the premise is. In other words, am I mixing causal and conditional logic?

Sorry if this sounds confusing as I am having a hard time trying to explain my confusion. :(

Thank you!!!!

is there a nov 2023 lsat study group I could be added too?

Hello everyone,

I am taking the LSAT on November 10th. What are some great free resources and what is the most effective way to study? I am a husband and father of two under two. I am also currently an MBA student.

any advice on how to get "high" priority questions correct? I always get low priority questions right, regardless of difficulty level, but struggle with the high ones. Especially in LR

Can someone please explain why C is the answer? I had originally chosen that but changed my answer last minute to E. (Fatal mistake, I know..)

First and foremost, I have to give a huge shout out to Chris Bearne from 7sage tutoring. I started seeing my results plateau at the 170 range, and Chris truly was invaluable in helping me break through to the 17highs. Finding a tutor who will tailor strategies specifically for your weakness, and overall just the rigidity of structure Chris brought was incredibly important. My biggest area of improvement was RC from -10 to -1 to -3, and Chris's techniques was key in that process.

I'll skip everything else that everyone already rave about, like blind review, but the thing that helped me the most was repeating this process over and over again: Prep test -> Go through all wrong answers, even the ones you got right but took too long -> Write down all the inferences you took from your performance on how to do better next time (separated into LR LG and RC) -> read them over and internalize before the next prep test. It seems repetitive and annoying (my final document was almost 20 pages), but ultimately it's a great way to maintain the level of standard needed for test day to go as well as your prep tests. Please feel free to reach out if with any questions!

Just curious about everyone's habits.

PrepTest B - Section 1 - Question 18

I got trapped in the cookie cutter AC A , misread it. My reasoning was fine, we need to make a subtle assumption that because the intended function of news is to give us information on which to act, news that primarily entertain does not serve its intended function, and thats given to us in AC D

Currently scoring -8-6 in LR. Would ideally like to get that closer to -5-3 before the November test. I know I’m stretching it, but what would the best way to do that be?

4 to 5 of my wrong questions tend to be at the end of the section 4 or 5 star question. Should I just drill that level of question? Would a tutor make a difference in this short of a time?

Thanks for any help!

I've noticed that a huge issue I'm having right now is drawing way too many boards on logic games. Whenever a question introduces new conditions, I can't just picture it in my head- I need to be able to visualize it. I've always been the same way with numbers, I've always been terrible at mental math. What should I be doing to help this? Will I make better inferences in time? I take the LSAT in like a month and would love to address this soon.

I know there is 7sage but I have not tried it yet, are there other ones as well that anyone has used?

I heard a suggestion to read the questions first for reading comprehension, and then read the essay. I was wondering if anybody has tried this and found it effective to help improve?

im doing better in the first attempt than blind review; im not confident enough and i put the answer i felt it could possibly be and i was right the first time although im still doing terribly

PT 1997 S3 Q5

How do i stop talking myself out the wrong answer. i thought it was A but i chose the wrong an answer D

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

My confidence is down; its seems like my score is worse after the blind review because i chose the answers that I was conflicted about. how do i make myself sure and confident its the right answer; I chose E instead D; whats the difference between cautious vs skeptical

Anyone know how I can unsubscribe from a discussion thread without having to unsubscribe from 7sage emails all together?

I truly believe I can score a 180 (-0) on this test and want to find a study partner with similar delusions.

currently in the 160s

perfection as your goal

can commit to zoom meeting!

taking the November/ January LSAT

I am scared drills ate giving me false hope. I am able to attempt an answer quicker and eliminate with accuracy. I can get down between answer choices, with one being the right answer ( because before I was eliminating right answers) but on PT's I feel I am not as accurate as when I am drilling. any advice? I have studied the q stems and can easily point out what q type it is. Maybe test anxiety? can anyone offer any help

Hi everyone! I just started 7sage as I tried other resources for studying and it was not enough nor useful to be honest.

I am taking the November 2023 LSAT and was wondering if there was anyone who would be interested in doing a virtual study group. Others are definitely welcome!

I just thought it would be nice to be with others in similar boats!

Hi!!

Whenever I do Modern test with 1LR, 1LG, and 1RC I get about -5 ~ -6 on LR. However, when I do two LR it is -5/-6 on one LR but about -10/11 in the second one. I see the pattern but I am not sure what the issue could be?

Hi everyone.

I have been using analytics to try and determine where my weak points are with regards to question types but I have noticed that tricky stimuli seem to trip me up more than the actual question type. Analytics claim that strengthen and weaken questions are ones I need the most improvement on but I have been nailing them in recent PTs and I feel like the questions I do get wrong on both timed and BR differ greatly from one PT to the next. There doesn't seem to be a consistent trend. Has anyone else come across this issue?

Most of the time when I watch JY's explanations, I will have that "ah I get it moment" which usually comes about because I didn't consider something in the argument, but of course there are those very few questions I need to really dive deep to figure out why my AC was incorrect or how a seemingly wrong AC is actually the correct choice.

Hi everyone, apologies if this has been posted before but I would love to hear all of your opinions about taking an LSAT prep test when tired. I have just over a month until I take the real thing and I feel like I haven't taken anywhere enough PTs so would you recommend just powering through or doing everything I can to get enough rest and opt to take the exam in the late afternoon/evening to compensate?

I'm also not scoring anywhere near as high as I'd like (currently around 160) and much of this I feel is due to psychological factors such as timing anxiety, and frustration. My thoughts are that I can work through this in time but again, would love some advice.

Hello folks,

I am looking for a study buddy who could meet in person in Toronto, mainly to take mock exams together. I am taking Sept and Oct 2023 LSATs. DM me if you are interested.
