PTF97.S1.Q13

Hello,

I'm confused as to how this answer is D. I'm torn between C and D. Is C wrong because if you fail the sufficient (don't have the Pterodactyl consume the red algae , the colouration could still be caused by other factors? Whereas D gives more indication that since it lived in an area that was abundant with red algae, that its more likely to have consumed it?

Hello All!

I am currently studying for the August LSAT date and I am generally scoring in the high 160s with a goal of breaking into the 170s consistently before the exam. Although I am working with a private tutor, I am also looking for someone to BR with, as I have found that having to explain and defend your answer choice to another person on BR is the most valuable form of review. I am looking to BR individual section work (my normal drills are back to back five star RC passages and 15 4-5 star LR question sets) with someone else as well as individual PT's, provided that we are generally taking the same ones (I am currently on test 70, and take two PT's a week). If anyone is interested, just shoot me a PM, and good luck to everyone out there!!!

Hi everyone. I started full-proofing LG in PTS 1-35 and am wondering....

Q1: Is it worth printing out the games I need to continue full-proofing or is it redundant when I can just hop back on laptop, open up my problem sets and re-do games?

Q1a: Is the idea that it is just quicker in general to redo a game and check on my setup/inferences by just flipping over my printed sheet of paper which would have one clean LG and the other side would have the setup?

I dont mind printing, its just taking me a while to print, etc.

Q2: IN ADDITION, how come the games aren't set to print on 1 sheet, each game I print ends up splitting onto 2 pages. Anyone know the remedy for this? #help #admin

Thanks!

Hey all, I was thinking about airing a PT as I finish up the LR sections of the course as a kind of benchmark to see how I’ve improved so far. Would that be worthwhile or should I just wait and finish the course?

Did anyone else take PTs during the course? And if so do you think it helped?

Hey 7Sagers,

Just took PT 59 and got a 148. I plan on taking the October LSAT and have a goal of getting at least a 157. What should be my next steps and what insights do you all have on studying, taking tests and BR?

Hey 7sagers,

Just wanted to post in hopes of encouraging people who are in similar situations as I was.

I took my first diagnostic in April and received a disheartening 149. The score only reinforced my existing notion of the LSAT as a terrifying test that I wasn’t sure I would ever do well in. Although I had heard that the LSAT is a skills-based test, I was afraid that I would never be able to do well on it given the immense time pressure. I’m the type of person to work hard but I tend to be a really slow thinker. Reading posts that said people typically never improve more than 12 points only made me more discouraged.

But what can I do! All I knew was that I had set my mind on going to law school and I had to work harder than most people to get the score I wanted. Today marks the 3rd month of serious LSAT studying and I received a 166 on my fourth PT. Although this is by no means as monumental as breaking the 170 threshold, I just wanted to note the progress and encourage anyone who received a poor diagnostic score to just keeping working hard!

This is my inaugural post lol. Just wanted to share the progress I've made since February. I switched over to 7Sage in April, after a 138 diagnostic a few months earlier. Took PT 71 today and broke 170 for the first time!! So so SOOOO grateful for this program. Hopefully I'll keep the momentum going 'til the August Flex. Good luck to everyone out there :^)!

my diagnostic before the course was 136 and i was ashamed so i deleted it and blocked it out my memory and retook it after the course 6 months later (with lots of breaks) and scored a 145. I wasn't ecstatic about it, but there was definitely improvement so i was ok with it. However, i just took my second ever PT a few days ago (been BRing the past few days) and jumped to a 154 :) im not expecting to go to a T14 Law school and have no interest, but this score will most definitely get me into where i want to go with my current gpa, so im very happy to see im even capable of getting this high of a score!!!

(Ps im horrible at standardized test and decided not a worry about the time because that caused me the most stress during it, and my score jumped 9 points from last PT)

Hey all,

So yeah long story short, im doing quite terrible on RC. Im averaging about -9ish, on my last PT i got -11 on RC but still finished with a 164 because i did well on the other sections. I really want to tighten my RC up to at least getting something like a -5 average, is that too much to ask for?! For those who are good at RC, or who improved quite a bit, could you offer me some advice?

I took my first ever diagnostic from Khan Academy about a month ago and scored a 152, and recently took a PT and scored 158. I’m enjoying the CC and it’s definitely helped me approach questions better, but I continue to have significant issues with MBT, parallel method and flaw questions. Any suggestions on how I can improve in these? My approach so far has been to practice the hardest questions from the problem sets. I have plenty of time before giving the actual test, but I’m hoping to see my score hit 165 consistently in the coming months. Hadn’t got time to foolproof logic games till now but will be doing that post improving my LR performance.

Suggestions on how to improve in these areas – especially from those who have recorded drastic improvements – are welcome. Help out a fellow Sager!

Hey, anyone interested in becoming study buddies? I want someone who is willing to do serious studying and put in at least 12 hours a day! I don’t even mind having a group of four people. Please feel free to message me and we can communicate via Skype.

Thank you and best of luck to all preparing to write the LSAT in the future.

Hi everyone. Does anyone have advice on setting up practice tests or making sure that the practice tests are the same format as Flex? Taking it in August and I know that it is now only three sections (LR, LG, RC) and weighted equally. I would love to practice and know my score in this format and I have no idea how to set it up!

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi all,

Am currently studying for the November exam (not my end all, just a first try). I've been going through the CC, specifically the LG curriculum to get myself acquainted but I often feel like I'm not doing enough. At what point did you start doing the fool proofing/taking full length tests? Is it okay to just focus on the CC for now or should I be starting as well?

Hi everyone, I figured I would ask this here since I am not sure where else to ask!

Does anyone know if we are allowed to use the command F feature on our computers to highlight words within text on the flex LSAT? This would be extremely helpful I think, especially for reading comp. I read someones comment on one of the preptests that LSAC has said they are allowing this, but it seems too good to be true... can anyone confirm (or deny)?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I tend to see a trend in my PTs that I miss most of my questions in LR between Q15 and on. I wanted to starting drilling this level of difficulty questions.

Do you guys think drilling "medium and harder" difficulty in LR would be the equivalent difficulty of questions 15 and on?

Thank you in advance (:

CC again?

Im trying to figure out where to go from here. I’ve taken 4 PTs 50, 51, 60, 61 And I got a 166, 163, 165, and a 159 respectively. It seems like I’m not improving and I did the best right after finishing The CC. I’ve had a lot of stress in my life for the past few weeks which could explain the dip, but I’m taking the August exam. I guess I’m trying to figure out if I should 1) do the CC again, 2) stop taking PTs and go through sets untimed or 3) keep taking PTs and blind reviewing

Hey everyone, I have a question about the LSAT flex. About how much time is given to get from one section to another? I'm hoping I'll have at least a few seconds to regroup and not have to jump immediately into the next section.

Confirm action

Are you sure?
