Hi, everyone,

Have trouble with this question. The correct answer choice C adds additional information ("climate fluctuations") which is not provided under the stimulus. Does it mean you can add additional information by guessing, however, this is not reliable technique? How to deal with this sort of questions?

Hello,

In this particular question I was wondering between C and E.

Answer D is correct, however. I crossed out this question since D does not mention "benzene" and only "formaldehyde".

E choice looks the best because according to the passage, "houseplants remove some household toxins" which means that according to E the quantities will eventually decrease.

Answer C is also attractive since well-insulated house means a "warm" house and the same time "safe" since the houseplants "eliminate danger" as per stimulus.

Please #help

Why my logic is wrong and why the answer is D???

How many games appear on any section ? A quick glance shows not more than 4 games which should total 23-24 questions.

hint is here: http://www.west.net/~stewart/lsat/logic-games-tutorial.htm

So I was doing games from PT 75 and up and the Pt 87,88 and 89 have games that are not the usual ones I was doing for practice. In order to be best prepared for games, are their any drill practice that i should do that can help me to prepare with recent style games?

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I've been studying with 7Sage for a few weeks and I'm curious about your approach on taking notes and keeping track of your work, especially in terms of LR.

For instance, I used to BR problem sets by thinking to myself or out loud and did not take any notes. But lately I started taking detailed notes of the questions that I had trouble with in the problem sets by writing out the premise/conclusion and explanations for each AC on a Word doc. But I found this to be taking too much time (especially because I feel like I should review almost every question in the set) and I feel like it can become a bit of an overkill. I additionally draw some key diagrams that JY's using in his videos and noting down very minimal stuff, which I can easily review afterwards. But I'm not sure if I can/will review my question notes again.

I wonder if you have any recommendations on how to proceed with note taking/journaling. I would appreciate your insights!

I did a mistake this morning. I wanted to print the tickets but I chose the wrong choice, and mistake withdraw my test in Jan. Is there anyone know what can I do? Can I phone LSAC and ask for save my position?

Thanks for you all!!!! I really need help!!!! I was so stupid!!!!!!

I'm trying to wrap my head around why E counts as a weakener. I understand that this question hinges on this idea of 'city tax revenues'. and that some councillors think that city taxes should have benefits primarily to people who pay them. E theoretically weakens because this means anyone who works in Greenville and earns above a certain minimum has to pay a city wage tax of 5%, meaning they would have to pay the city too and ergo they should benefit from it. But it does require the assumption that these outside commuters are earning above the nationally mandated minimum. Why are we allowed to make this kind of assumption for this question? Or is it not an assumption at all -- rather that even the theoretical possibility of this already constitutes weakening?

I can kind of see that D is out of scope which means it's useless for the argument. Even if we assume that the voters in the city are taxpayers, we don't really care about their thoughts on increasing local taxes, and it doesn't really talk about increasing local taxes in the stimulus at all, just adjusting where those tax dollars go.

Hello all,

I'm currently studying to take the February exam and I have a goal of about 170-172 in mind.

I recently started taking timed practice tests and my average score is around 164-165. When I take practice tests untimed, I score around 168-170. I find myself going over the 35 minutes in reading comprehension and occasionally in logical reasoning.

I have about 1.5 months left of studying and I'm open to trying new techniques to improve my score! If you don't mind sharing your ways with me, I would really really appreciate it!

Thank you~

I am having a hard time accessing the PDF files for the questions. The system tells me to enter a password & when I do it says the password is invalid. I have changed my password 3 times and I’m having no luck accessing them. #pleasehelp

I've been finishing my applications for schools and waiting to hear back from them still. Am I supposed to do the FAFSA right now too or can I wait to complete that after they've admitted me?

I created explanations for the first LR section of PT 89. I also included cookie cutter take aways for each question. Hopefully this is helpful to some! Let me know if you have questions or alternative ways of reasoning; I would love to hear them!

Hi, I understand that UC Davis law school has the following requirement: supplemental material combined with the personal statement must not exceed more than four pages. Supplemental addenda should follow your personal statement and be appropriately labeled within the personal statement document you plan to upload with your application.

With that said, my personal essay is 2.5 pages and my diversity statement is 1.5 pages, so if I combined them, one right after the other, it would meet the maximum. I was wondering if that is acceptable, or if we have to clearly separate the diversity statement in a whole new page?

Thanks!!

I took a diagnostic test on paper, then I circled in my anwers to the answer sheet on 7sage. I also want to circle in my blind review answers, like in the problem sets, so I can get more accurate analytics. I hope this is possible and if so, I would greatly appreciate any guidance on this.

Any idea when these might be available on the site?

Hey guys, hope y'all prep is coming along well. I am currently in the midst of applying to law schools and wanted to know if there was a limit on how many we can apply to. Thanks for the feedback!

I've made a ton of progress on LG over the last two weeks. On my two practice tests, each taken a few months ago, I went -5 and -8, respectively. Over the past week or so of doing LG sections, I've gone -0/-1/-2. However, today I had a really bad section (PT8) where I got -6. Really took a long time (12 minutes) on the first game, which should've been a quick one, and that bit me later as I ran out of time on the last question and had to rush through a few others. Later in the day, however, I took two more sections and went -0 on both, meaning that of the last five sections I've taken (over the past two days), I've gotten four perfect scores and the one -6.

Wondering if anyone has any advice on extracting the lesson from those random really bad LG sections? So far, I'm thinking it was a combo of not being well-rested enough (what with it being New Year's), along with not being very good at overloaded sequencing games, but I'm wondering how I can extract other lessons from the bad section. Thoughts?

Here's to another year of LSAT studying! Let's get those 170s!

Hi! I'd like to make a small 3 person BR group to meet weekly and go over a test together. A friend of mine in the 170's said she did a 3 person BR group where once a week they sat for about 3-4 hours and noted for which questions they had different answers. Afterwards they addressed each question one by one. I'd like to do a BR group in this way and I'm open to other good approaches too!

I'm scoring about 158 - low 160's, I'd like to have 1 member in the mid 160's and 1 member in the 170's or high 160's so we can see the different ways we see questions.

Let's do first come first served in who replies. Thanks!!!

Happy New Years Eve! Id like to give a reading comp tip ive been trying out.

Ive been scoring in the mid-high 160s on the recent tests and low 170s on the older tests and i usually miss around -4 to -7 on RC. I would say most of the time its -5 or -6. On the older RCs I can get anywhere from -3 to -0. Most of the time, Ive been spending quite a lot of time on the passage up front, and going slowly through the questions. This usually leads me to never having sufficient time to answer all questions. Ill usually spend 3 and a half - 4 minutes a passage.

Now, ive been trying to just read as quickly as I can, while spending the absolute MINIMUM amount of time up front. If im not sure what a sentence means, I probably wont read it a second time. Now ill usually spend 3 minutes - 3 and a half minutes on the first read. This is usually against what J.Y and some others recommend. However, I would argue that I can usually get a fairly good understanding of the passage just one quick read through. With that extra time, I think its worth it to then move on to the questions. Spending up to 4 minutes on the passage, for me at least was unneccesary. My tutor Cant Get Right taught me to just believe in myself, and kind of (recklessly) just snap pick an answer and move on. For me, it turns out my intuition was usually right, but that I was getting so fixated on making sure each answer I picked was 100% correct.

Now, with reading the passages faster, answering the questions faster, and trusting myself more, Ill consistently not miss more than 5 on RC. Its usually -3 to -4 now.

If anyone has experimented with RC strategies, please let me know! Id love to hear thoughts. For me, I personally think just spending much less time up front and more time on the questions is better.

Why is E wrong? Doesn’t E also give an alternative reason for why the houses architecture changed?

I've had my Bachelor's degree completed for some time now. However, I came across a program at my local community college that would get me (yet another) Associates Degree (Legal Studies/Paralegal Program) and would also have me officially certified as a paralegal. This actually sounds like a really good idea for me considering my GPA is below a 3.0. I would; 1. Have the opportunity to take all ABA approved courses which, if I excel in them, would look good on my resume for multiple reasons and show that I have interest in the legal profession; 2. Boost my GPA (I assume, considering how LSAC computes your overall GPA); and 3. Become a certified paralegal which, in the long run, might help my employ-ability (maybe, I hope? :D )

Does anybody see any potential reasons why I shouldn't do this? I'm 25, and about 2.5 years removed from my undergrad, but not rushing into law school since I want to make the absolute most out of it and have the ability to get into a wide range of schools. Also, I live in New Jersey, which means that since I don't make enough money annually, I get to take this program for free! :D I feel like given my situation with my sub-par grades, and since I am not in a huge rush to get into law school and can finish the program in a year, I should do this. Any thoughts? Thanks so much!

When I put in my GPA with a below median LSAT, it gives me a higher than 50% chance for a lot of the T14s. However, I rarely ever hear or see people getting in w a below median LSAT... Does GPA matter more than I think?

This is such a silly mistake on my part. During BR over the past several months, I have found that I usually lose track of the "Except" in a Q stem and I end up choosing the wrong answer because I am juggling so much info in my mind, especially if the stimulus has negatives in it.

Most recently I had a problem with a question stem that said: "Each of the following, if true, helps to resolve the apparent paradox above EXCEPT:". I went into the ACs and crossed out the first one I read which also happened to be the correct answer. And then I picked the next one because it resolved the problem. The funny thing is that I went on to read the rest of the ACs and I crossed them out even though they all helped resolve the paradox too. Under the time constraint it just didn't dawn on me that I picked one that functions the same as three others. But in BR I immediately realized what I did wrong.

Does anyone have advice for this dilemma?

Hi. 7 Sage

Thx for the last reply regarding this matter. So anyways, Can JY possibly provide best foot guessing date (Aks: Best approximation date) for finishing up PT 89 Video explanations full version of all three areas for possible LSAT takers in February ?

Thank you
