Hey all, Just a quick note to let you know that I'm retiring from the 7Sage community. I've taken a job teaching the LSAT for a competing company, and a condition of my employment is that I not provide LSAT assistance outside of my classroom/tutori…
-
Totally totally totally do the old problems. Regardless of whether or not a weird question comes up on your LSAT, the old games really help develop your ability to think flexibly about game setup. Even on "normal" games, this is an advantage (IMO). …
-
My advice: work your way through the course materials over the next month or so, take a PT, and see where you're at. IMO, you really can't infer anything from your diagnostic about how quickly you'll make gains.
-
@Judyyyyy, that's another hard one to answer! In LR, I spent some time working on my weakest question types (parallel/parallel flaw). I also lost points through misreading question stems, so I worked on slowing down and double checking that I was …

@Sapphire shoot me a PM and we can discuss
-
@rachelHaw I'm going to assume that intermediate conclusion = major premise/sub-conclusion (the terms used by 7Sage). If that's incorrect, let me know! A sub-conclusion is something that receives support from a premise *and* is used to support the …
-
@Judyyyyy that's a hard question to answer concisely, but I'll try! I worked my way through the 7Sage ultimate curriculum before taking any PTs (other than the diagnostic). I then moved on to PTs. I did 2-3 per week (one on a Saturday morning to re…

@"Nilesh S" Just be glad that you're no longer in need of help
-
@jdawg113 : Yeah, that's a good idea. I'll change my OP to ask people to include links. @DumbHollywoodActor : Aw, shucks.
-
Sure thing, @emli1000 . You can always PM me with your explanation for a question, and we can chat about why it is/isn't correct. This would have the added benefit of forcing you to articulate your reasoning
-
[ @"Dillon A Wright" , let me know if there's a better place to answer questions about specific PTs!] @emli1000: LSAT PrepTest 27, Section 4, Question 16 | D The stimulus says that the four food groups idea promotes unhealthy eating. We're looking…

@rachelHaw, one big part of meditating is realizing that there isn't a "right" way to do it. Just sit, focus on your breath (or whatever else you're trying to focus on), and notice your thoughts/feelings without engaging them. Don't get discouraged …

This was awesome! Thanks, @"Ben Schnell"!
-
Thanks! 7Sage + all of the PTs = my smurtz.
-
I second what @jdawg113 said: make sure that you're simulating test day conditions as accurately as possible when you take PTs (assuming that you decide to retake). Taking PTs in an unfamiliar environment (e.g. a library) can also help you prepare f…

Super weird!
-
Good luck, guys! One way or another, the wait is over!!!
-
Go into your course syllabus, find the PT you are looking for, and hit "Video Explanations for All Questions." There, you'll find links to every question, including LR. Hope this helps!
-
@iles.18, it totally is. Get your hands on every game ever written and do them over and over and over until it becomes second nature!
-
I think everyone has been in your shoes at some point or another, @shine.on.me. I certainly have! If I were you, I would focus on feeling better in general rather than on the LSAT specifically. Is there anything that you find helps you when you fe…
-
No silly questions! I personally didn't listen to music while studying. I figured that all studying should be LSAT like -- in pencil, with an analog watch, and without distractions. That said, I do love to listen to Songza's lyricless jazz and clas…
-
Thanks for looking into this, JY! I suspected that might be the case. What a mean trick to play on a group of anxious students.
-
Was that maybe a troll? I see that Whitney180's account has been deleted, and it seems unlikely that someone would receive their acceptance from Yale (A) on a Sunday and (B) on the same day that their score was released. I could definitely be wrong …
-
Fair enough. I think that distinction may have been where the confusion about strengthening/MBT overlap was coming from by the users above -- I imagine that I'm not alone in my unfamiliarity with Testmasters!
-
I think that making dumb mistakes is fairly par for the course. I got practically every point at issue: agree question wrong, simply because I assumed it was a PAI: disagree Q. I found it helpful to accumulate a list of these errors and review it be…
-
Just as an FYI: the question you referred to (Feb 96, LR 1, Q 11) is a necessary assumption question, not strengthening. I suppose you could think of NA questions as a type of strengthening question, but the type of strengthening statement they ask …
-
@royaimani, text based communication makes tone difficult to assess; I assure you that although I disagree vehemently with some of the views you've expressed, I nevertheless intend no disrespect to you as a person. I was simply explaining my view as…
-
I think that as you begin to see improvement, your feelings might start to change. I know that I started to look forward to PTs once my scores crept up. Until then, try to think about how great it's going to feel when you reach your goal score. Look…

I really take umbrage at the idea that not disclosing a disability is somehow "dishonest." 1) There is no requirement that people with disabilities disclose this information to universities (or prospective employers, for that matter). How can appl…

@blah170blah : further proof that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to the LSAT!
