It's basically just "If this is in, the other one can't be in with it in the same group" so the way I've always seen it is K-->/X, and contrapositively X->/K
The only way is to do it in self-review mode instead of exam mode, but that gives you the scores after each section which is not great in my opinion since that won't happen on the actual test. I'd try to just mix up the times you use prep plus (to g…

Congrats on the 180 BR and the two scores in the 170s!!
Quick question about that RRE tip from Powerscore: "you can't explain similarity with difference, or difference with similarity".
In PT82Q13S1, there's an apparent similarity yet …
I think I've seen something super similar in a recent preptest, and when asked about that specific argument part the answer choice is something like "It is offered as support for the premise that is in turn used to support the overall conclusion of …
I feel you on burnout too man. One thing that's helped is breaking things up with other activities (I've been slowly becoming a much better chef... did you know it's actually pretty easy to make sushi rice?)
One of the most helpful parts of prep fo…
As someone who was really in line with your method before (ie. read both before going into questions) since at first I was really good at comparative passages, I noticed when the subject matter became more esoteric I was having a lot more trouble ke…

That's crazy.
Is it Q27 that doesn't match what we have?
I'm pretty sure everything else I've looked at just has it end at question 26, and Question 27 is just something unique to the LSAC PT 86. If you don't mind an …
IMO if you have to do July 13, then your better bet is to do PTs, evaluate weak points, and look at the CC for specifically those areas.
Ideally though it's probably better to reschedule the test if you can. The theory is undoubtedly important, but…

It's probably due to higher scores getting a variety of questions wrong, so it spreads out the average score more than you'd expect. I'd imagine most PTs are above 150, since anyone willing to come to 7sage and practice and stu…
Can't you just 'switch to paper version' and then manually input the values with your keyboard? That's what I do with PTs that I take on LSAC Prep Plus.
I've bought it. And these days, you need to buy it anyways to access Ultimate+ if you aren't grandfathered in.
Things I like:
1) Access to official tests using the actual infrastructure that a digital exam would actually be to situate yourself bes…
Take a bit more time upfront to check the rules and board you've created against the actual writing from the text. It ultimately saves you time because you further internalize the rules, and you don't run into the questions with one dud rule or repr…
I think you've keyed into the right answer in your last sentence here. You have to remember that the Difficulty scores are just trends anyway. To use a flaw from LR: Just because it's generally difficult for the set (ie. us) it doesn't mean that di…
PTs are a useful way to gauge progress, and improving your mental endurance is important, but I think most of my increases have come as a result of BR and analysis --> isolating problem areas and working on them.
Don't get too caught up in your …

What are the key differences? Not sure it's possible to spend the money on it.
Their highlighting and underlining features are totally whack. So developing a strategy that doesn't rely on page breaks, highlighting, and u…
Hi Michael, thank you so much for that super informative session. You really helped clear some details up for me, and showed me a new angle to think about correlation/causation. If possible, I'd love to join that group chat you were talking about du…
You scared the shit out of me for a second because I was like how do you have access to PT97 when the latest PT is 88 or 89? Then I realized you meant Feb1997.
I think the line references are relics from the old tests so they shouldn't exist in the modern tests (but don't quote me). Regarding the highlights, I've noticed that too -- I guess that's the importance of having good low res so you can have at le…

I don't think you are missing anything. I haven't checked out the LSAT Prep Plus yet, but when I took the LSAT last year the highlighting features weren't helpful due to the same issues you are experiencing. I ha…
I think part of it is understanding why we foolproof games. I'm not saying you're failing to do this, but I will say this is what initially made me not want to Foolproof:
I felt like Foolproofing would just make me good at that specific game, not b…
I usually shift between 1.4-2.0 and slowly build up speed. I've done 2.4 a few times, but it's a bit rough. I speak really fast too so I think it helps me understand.
What's interesting to me is listening to JY speak normally now since I'm used to …
I think the key here is the support structure of the argument and 'filling in the gap' so to speak. We know emotional tendencies are essentially unchanged and from that it concludes that people generally can't make wiser decisions even though techno…
Internet died at the tail-end of that session, sorry JY. It was super helpful like Ashley said, from hearing other people's approaches and their different hypotheses to the method you discussed to get deeper insight into some types of questions.
Th…
I'm definitely interested, particularly since this may be an area of law I'd like to get into (I think). Even as a Canadian I think it might be useful to understand some of the theory, so I've signed up and bought the program. Will definitely let yo…

I think one important tip for RC is to remember you are not reading for the content. Sometimes difficult/uninteresting subject matter is hard to follow, but remember that the goal isn't to UNDERSTAND. As you continue doing RC, there are patterns (fo…
