In my estimation, from everything that I have seen of them, all of the tutors on 7Sage are competent and professional people who are excellent at the LSAT and can pass that expertise along in a meaningful way to both beginners and those who need mor…
What I dispense on flaw questions is a really close reading of the conclusion. I find an accounting of the conclusion's voracity is very important to seeing flaws.
Here we are told in the conclusion that if the results of the trial [referential ph…
My recommendation would be to take the weekend off starting today and have a fresh game plan ready to implement on Monday 7/31. The calendar happens to falls in your favor as far as monthly goal setting: possibly set a goal that you want for the mo…
Excellent question. These questions can be tough on the surface, but if we scratch a little, they really only test a small set of abilities. At their core, it has been my experience that these questions test our ability to tell the difference betw…
I would absolutely recommend dissecting questions in that way. I would also commend you on your honesty about how you feel when approaching certain questions. It is often through the process of being totally honest with ourselves on this exam that…
Often times the flaw can be found in the argument structure. The main problem I see folks having with these questions is timing. The solution to that problem in my estimation is more experience with the abstract core of the argument. It might be …
Ok, so the piece that I think might be missing here is colloquial definition of what a valid argument actually means and how we can apply that understanding to the LSAT. I used to view the valid/invalid arguments with a similar degree of confusion…
I should also note here with full disclosure, I don't know if any other site dedicated to the LSAT has categorized the rule substitution questions in the way I have, any similarity is purely happenstance. Prior to actually presenting this informati…
I have spent a considerable amount of time on these questions. My first piece of advice would be to develop mastery-level understanding of games prior to undertaking a serious study of rule substitution questions, if you haven't already. The reaso…
@"Alex Divine" thank you so much for the kind words. When I get back to studying full time, I will hopefully put something together to give thanks to this great community.
If by letters you mean the variables i.e. the items we are categorizing in a specific way, then you are not correct in the assertion. Our variables can indeed have relationships to other variables that are explicitly stated, but our variables can a…
First I should state in the interest of transparency that many in the community of dedicated test takers agree that there are no panaceas for success on this exam. Quite often, there is no one thing incorrect in an individual's approach to the exam…
Passage 4 question 23. This is an analogy question. These questions are difficult because we must first get clear on precisely what is it we have been asked to analogize. So let's do that. Garber says in line 39: when a prized variety is invented…
Mr. Ping, your setup for 32-2 is very useful. I recognized a similar set up you used on the experienced/inexperienced radiobiologists game from PT 35 (Game 1.) In my estimation, the set up allows us to see key inferences much quicker than we would…
I understand how frustrating it can be. My recommendation would be to focus initially on making that -11/-12 into a -10. I think RC is something that a "inch by inch" approach benefits us. Next week it would be my recommendation to focus on keepi…
You have made some really impressive gains. That being said, there is still work to do to get to a consistent -1. The work at this juncture will more than likely be more difficult than the work to get to this point. I started not being able to an…
Our author certainly agrees with the first half of answer choice (E) on question 26. The support for the information before the comma comes from lines 24-26, our author essentially says here: yeah, tLowe is pretty believable given the available evi…
The way of representing the X/Z in X/Z out worked so well due to spacial considerations, the two variables must trade In/Out across all possible worlds. There are only 3 things to choose from when it comes to Vivaldi. We must choose 2 of these 3 a…
The J/M out spot would be a bit difficult to represent on our board because it would be across categories. J is by Giuliani and M is by Rodrigo. A better way to represent the logical relationship between these two variables is the chain Mr. Ping …
I did not hear back from you in regards to the response I posted to your previous inquiry about PT 2 Game 2. Again, I have to ask, what is it about this game that is not quite adding up? Mr. Ping's game explanations are some of the best on the mar…
Pt 31 game 2 is a classically difficult game. In my opinion, PT 31's game section itself is a really good section to test where your skills are on games for the newest sets of games. What I mean by this is that PT 31 seems to have the pattern of a …
On games when a question is asking for a could be true, 4 of the answer choices will be MBF and the remaining answer choice will be either a CBT or a MBT. If a question is asking for a MBT, you are more than likely going to be facing 2-3 CBT, but n…
This is an important question that I carry in my notebook and the example I dispense to intuitively grasp what is wrong with the argument is as follows:
-Most professional bull riders are people from Texas
-Therefore most people from Texas are pr…
