The third rule reads that in the absence of Y then we better see L or O but not both. In other words: Y----> L or O both Lets tinker with this rule a bit. Lets see what kind of situations would logically arise given this rule specifically. L…

Yeah, every once in awhile there are questions where we simply have to choose the best of the bunch. At bottom, I don't really know why the LSAT tests this skill. The "Most helps" skill that is. For a further example of this, please refer to PT C…

I just did 11-4-22 and it is not what you have referenced.

sometimes the right thing to do isn't the easy thing to do. If there is anything you need to assist with your prep, don't hesitate to reach out @dennisgerrard

@jkatz1488 no, they are not to my knowledge. In order to group games together into a single concise lesson there would have to be common threads between them in a way that made inferences similar to make: for instance the running inferences for in …

And as an aside @"Corey L" those assumptions are great to keep an eye on, but we don't have to make them to satisfy our task here. (D) tells us that there are other ways in which the seals could have decreased the cod population aside from eating t…
-
Sometimes, the counting of/accounting of assumptions can get us turned around on questions. Believe me, it has happened to me tons of times across my prep. Moving forward, what has helped me immensely is 1.stay focused on the task (here the task is…

20-4-25 is weakening question. Let's tackle that first. We are asked to weaken Marianna's argument. We know that Marianne does a job professionally and when she does she distracts her opponents by humming. The officials told her: stop doing tha…

Your general approach seems to be the prevailing approach. As far as your first question, what precisely do you mean? All games are discussed and reviewed in great detail individually under the "LSAT explanations" tab of the 7Sage course. Are you…

@bswise2 wrote what I was going to add. The fall administration of the LSAT for 2017 for non Sabbath observers is 9/16/2017

I'm familiar with the exercise in the PS book. The term "No" or "Never" in 7Sage's system are classified as "group 4 negate necessary." I should add that if you are confused about these relationships, look into purchasing a course from 7Sage, it h…

Ok, so in the context of the second paragraph we have a basic structure: Judges have a potential solution to the problem of partiality with juries. Critics respond back that the solutions the judges offer are not effective. The rest of the paragr…

I am going to do this passage in a bit. Probably by 2pm Eastern. I will certainly look into your issue deeper.
-
This is great. I have yet to look at the 70s RC, but have been doing something similar with 30s,40s and now the beginning of the 50s.
-
I should preface my remarks here by stating that what proceeds is less than ideal advice. The normal advice that I would dispense would be to master/learn every single game you can get your hands on. I would even go so far as to say get your hands…
-
What has worked for me is more and more practice. With practice comes familiarization, with familiarization comes a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the games. For odd games we might have very little to work with as far as previous g…

Welcome aboard!

I think the issue here has two possible solutions in my estimation: 1.get substantially better at conditional logic so as to allow your set up to be quicker and more efficient, thus saving time or 2. get great enough at conditional logic to rarely n…
-
I am in complete agreement with both comments above. There is an easy way to test if you are doing enough and if what you are doing translates into tangible skills: redo the set in 4-5 weeks. This window has for me been enough time to forget speci…

I just read the stems of all 29 weaken except question through 7Sage's question bank filter from PT 1-79. I did not find a construction like the second one you referenced.
-
I am not aware of an example of your second construction appearing on the exam, therefore as it stands now, I would have to say that the frequency is near zero. Do you have a PrepTest in mind where that construction was used?> @A. Mathews said: …
-
Are you referring to the bottom left below certain games? Where it lists similar games to build your skills on? Like PT 49 Game 3?
-
UT is in my top 3 choices. Austin is an incredible city and it would be a privilege to live there for 3 years. I would choose, given the options you laid out, UT by a mile.
-
My advice generally/what has worked for me: I have spent a considerable amount of time on RC. I am approaching my 400th passage from the 1-49 set. I don't want to come off as corny or weird but for me, improvement has come with "living" how I appr…

@"Cant Get Right" said it perfectly. While I would love to go -0 on an LR section, strategically, for me personally, a -1/-2 on the section is almost just as sweet.
-
hahaha! @danielznelson
-
Some very general tips, right now you are essentially (if I understand correctly) learning the basics. My very cursory remarks would be to invest in a 7Sage package to really learn the fundamentals of the exam. 7Sage has an option where you can ta…
-
@"Cant Get Right" said: Break down the stimulus both logically and grammatically. This has helped me immensely. Great advice.
-
I should also state that even on PT 12, the LR section follows a familiar pattern, we have other people's opinion, followed by a denial of that opinion, followed by a concession that the action claimed at bottom by the other people's opinion did ind…

These questions are essentially sufficient assumption questions. We are given a set of facts with a conclusion and we are asked to supply something that would allow the conclusion to follow, the best we can. Modern variations of these question ste…
