Excellent post, and excellent job on your score. The LSAT is a psychological test, and too many people discount that. The key to a good score is discipline, hard work, and optimism. Those traits are essential to be a good law student…
I took the September 2014 LSAT and scored a 161. I joined 7sage soon after getting that score back and started studying seriously; I earned a 174 in June 2016. Without this site, I don't think I would have been able to do it. Best decision I've m…
A few good men is a great movie, too. In cold blood is also a fantastic book and film.
For documentaries, Making a Murderer and Paradise Lost are worth checking out.
I purchased the Ultimate+, and it was probably the best decision I have made so far in my law school career. If you are worried about the cost/hesitant to get the Ultimate+ starting out, you can purchase the Starter package and upgrade later.

I think the "but that conclusion is absurd" sentence is the main conclusion. The argument's purpose is to establish that advocates are incorrect. L is arguing that unwillingness to work is the real cause of homelessness, which implies that lack of…
Tough question, and you are correct in your definition of a presupposition.
However, look carefully at L's actual argument. She says this:
There are some empty apartments that exist (in my building and in my friend's building). Therefore, there a…
During the first stages of prep, I don't believe timing is that important. Nailing the fundamentals should be your goal. If it takes 10 minutes to do an "easy" game or 5 minutes to do an LR question, that's fine right now. Speed comes with unders…
Victory cigar and some good bourbon to celebrate tonight. This is my second take: went from a 161 to 174. My entire score increase is attributed to hard work, 7Sage lessons and community, and JY. It can be done! I will post a longer message in t…

To answer your first question: for the purposes of the LSAT, "not all X are Y" means that there are some Xs that are not Ys. To see this, think of the negation of the above statement: "All Xs are Ys." That means that for every X, it's a Y--no matt…
To answer your question about the role of the 3rd sentence, it's just a vanilla premise that supports the sub-conclusion that is the second sentence. It is not a restatement of the main conclusion of the argument nor a sub-conclusion.
In formal lo…
I know it's less than ideal, but on the "Obtain and take test section" of the syllabus for each PT has the questions as silent videos. To be honest, I probably wouldn't bother trying to construct at PT like that since it would take a long time to d…
A pretty interesting video on a related topic.
I'm a CPA, and all throughout undergrad many non-accounting professors would say that accountants will be a profession that will be obsolete in the near future due to automation, technology, and …
It depends on how far away you are. The closest test center to me is 3 hours away, so I got a hotel for the weekend. I plan on getting to the test center at least an hour before the test so I can get a parking spot. If you are only 10 or 15 minut…
I think the part of speech matters here. "Assessment" is used as a noun, as opposed to the verb "to assess." The majority of people disagree over the assessment, meaning that they disagree over the judgment/evaluation that the political commentato…
