You should skip it.
Why?
The LSAT is a tightly timed test. You can't afford to sit there and say "wait, let me understand this, what did I get wrong?"
You probably misread or misunderstood something, forgot a rule, wrote the letters in a confusin…
Re-read the stimulus.
If the standards committee has a quorom, then the general assembly will begin at 6:00 pm today. If the awards committee has a quorom, then the general assembly will begin at 7:00 today.
The diagramming from your first pos…
If the standards committee has a quorom, then the general assembly will begin at 6:00 pm today. If the awards committee has a quorom, then the general assembly will begin at 7:00 today
It's reasonable to assume the GA can't "begin" at both 6pm …
Ideally you don't need to resort to conditionals, but if you do, then there is no shame in drawing. Basically, you want to do whatever is fastest and gets you the right answer.
It depends on where you are in your process. Assuming you have already read about different game types and drilled them untimed, I definitely recommend focusing on the question types you are getting wrong (you can see this in your analytics tab). Yo…
This question is about a journalist who thinks the education party won't be viable in the long run. You are out to prove this guy wrong and find the "flaw" in his argument.
It's a math question, and it has to do with two groups overlapping: the joi…
Assumption questions "close the loop" of an argument.
Consider the classic:
Premise: Socrates is a man
Conclusion: Therefore, Socrates is mortal
What's missing here? All men are mortal.
Omg yes, I agree with the stimulus’ of these questions …
Looks like you've got it. Like others said, the most important thing is to focus on the conclusion "everyone should use low watt bulbs"
All the good answer choices center on whether these bulbs are efficient, or expensive, or long lasting. Relevant…
Inference questions are always based on specific sentences within the passage. Throughout any passage there are anywhere from 1 to 4 sentences that are clearly "author's POV". They are often subtle. For example, consider this made up sentence,
"Mar…
Conclusion: the new bill should be adopted.
Why?
It's dangerous. People wouldn't do the dangerous thing if it was illegal.
Prephrase: [it's an assumption argument, what is missing here? How do we close the link between a thing being dangerous and…
Are you consistently identifying the conclusion? Revisit the conclusion to make sure you are seeing it for what it is rather than misreading or misremembering. The LSAT makers will craft the answer choices to be misleading/almost plausible for someo…
You should work on the area that you think you can improve the most. An extra point in LR is the same as an extra point in RC or LG. If you really enjoy LG and think you will have an easier time getting to zero there compared to improving LR, that's…
I had experience working retail, as well as more professional jobs, and I wound up condensing the retail experience to just one line (e.g. "GAP sales associate spring 2018 - fall 2018") and expanding on my professional experience in more detail (e.g…
I would definitely start studying now. You could probably get a high 170's or even 180 if you have 19 months to study, and I don't see any downside to starting early (unless you study in a way that's really unpleasant and makes you dislike the test)…
7sage is a resource to supplement your own studying. Like those ads about cereal - it is a part of a healthy breakfast/LSAT score. No one has ever claimed that just watching the videos and reading the explanations is enough to get you to 180, or eve…
Gotta second what others are saying about splitting. You only want to have 2-3 boards when you split, and you should NOT split based on a conditional. Rules that are good to split are usually “or” based (e.g. “x is first or last”) because you only n…
Another great way to improve timing (and help you finish the section) is by skipping. I am consistently scoring -0 to -1 in LR and finishing with extra time. If I see a question I don’t like, I just go “nah” and move on to the next one.
I add up m…
If your goal is to avoid getting sucked in by attractors, the answer is to prephrase.
After identifying the question type and locating the conclusion, try to come up with a few answers in your mind before looking at the choices. The right answer wi…
Here is a more direct application of the "why" test, for the question you asked:
This is what I would call the "conclusion sentence".
"two major studies found no causal link between medical procedure X and disorder Y, but these studies are flaw…
It's very individual. It's like asking if you will be able to run a 7 minute mile in the next three months. It really depends on how many hours a day you work, where you are starting at, what other obligations you have, how easily you can incorporat…
