@"lsat 1101" said: Hi 7sagers, I'm planning on retaking in Sept, already used up the newer tests in preparation for the June 2017 lsat. I found PT's 70-80 to have subtle and not so subtle differences from older ones. I previously prepared u…

Yeah, JY goes through them in the CC. It is under the lessons titled "Validity and Must Be True Questions." There are 9 common valid argument forms on the LSAT.

@"Madeline L." said: Hi all! I just finished PT 38 and scored a 176, BR 179. These are absolutely wild scores for me, as I average around 165. I am studying for a retake in September, after scoring a 161 in June. I am reminding myself …

Yeah, I do when I miss something and get a chance to review it during BR.

If you're taking September, make sure you've done a good amount of the newer tests from PT 60-80. RE: PTs 7-18: For games, I would just fool proof the LG sections. For LR/RC, I would say it depends on where and what you need some work on. I might e…

Don't forget to utilize the LSAT analytics if you haven't already!

@jackigoe said: Hey everyone! I just had a quick question about drilling. I have noticed that I am not very good at NA questions. I was wondering how some of you have gone about shoring up these question specific weaknesses once you've re…

Because only SOME of the dogs are cute. And ALL things that are cute are lovable. So for the rest of the dogs, that might not be cute, we can't say they're lovable. I would just go back and review the lessons on this. It actually wasn't intuitive …

@nathanieljschwartz said: So i have made tremendous strides in my RC method and technique over the past couple of weeks. Contrary to populer belief, i think RC is a very doable section, especially with the proper incorporation of the memory me…

@andrewpete93 said: Hello 7sagers! Vague question alert here, but I took the June LSAT and am starting the application process - how do I go about narrowing down my list of schools? What kind of process are you using? Not entirely sure where I…
-
In short, I think the newer LR adds more nuance and misdirection. Older tests' LR are not easy by any means, but some of the classic flaws and classic moves are less disguised, for example. Also as @dml277 mentions above, weaken/strengthen require y…

@jkatz1488 said: I've heard very little about this. Does anyone use a particular method for triaging LR questions you want to return to? Dark/light circles/squares? Marking a question "completed" after you return and feel 100% confident? …

@dml277 said: Though it's more ideal to be able to not diagram on those questions, when I have the urge to diagram during timed, I sometimes diagram on the questions by underlining words and drawing arrows to indicate conditionality. Saves tim…

@mzoodle said: So how do you suggest we improve on them? There are too many "if this then this" to remember. How to improve on MBTs? A really good understanding of the conditional logic is imperative. Like I said, diagramming the questions i…
