Thank you!!

Which one are you referencing? The November "crystal ball" seminar is apparently forthcoming, at least one of the past seminars is on Youtube. I should note here that although I am a huge proponent of 7Sage's approach and the value of the CC, Mr. …

2.5 week can't "make or break" your score but it is certainly enough time to tighten some things up around the edges. with a focused an sustained effort on one's weaknesses, a move from a consistent -5 per section on LR to a consistent -3 per secti…

Try pt’ing in a public place, it might help by allowing you to practice blocking out distracting sounds. Ideally, one should strive to have such a deep knowledge of the material that the possibility of annoying or distracting sounds being a decidin…

Mr. Ping, amazing clip! Thank you!

I’ve given my consent to listen to your issue here by virtue of being a member on this site and purposely seeking out threads in which people are struggling with the material. I’ve been there/done that when it comes to struggles with the material an…

I've never heard of the show before, but the song was funny. The Shakespeare reference (1:42) was subtle, but I never miss an opportunity to state that Shakespeare was actually praising lawyers with that line! lol

I will be there for the first hour or so, almost game day!

I would actually respectfully disagree with the sentiment expressed in the idiom “trust your gut” as it applies to the reasoning needed for the LSAT. I once read a puzzle that stated the following: how large would a newspaper be if we folded it 10…

I'm not 100% sure if you are asking for advice on HLS specifically towards the end there. My initial thoughts are to ask what you mean by your GPA "not where it needs to be." Do you mean below the 25th percentile for the school you are looking at?…

Two posts down from where I read your thread is this thread: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/18192/study-partner-new-york two people from NY, looking for a study partner. Best of luck moving forward.

@monicamartinezgnz roughly 20 hours per week was the sweet spot for me, was making progress and was not getting burnt out at the same time. It will be subjective for those who are studying to make up a comparable gap between "diagnostic" and goal.

Bumping this, this is some great work!

I didn't take a diagnostic, but I've calculated that had I did, it would have been in the mid-130s, I could answer maybe 1 or 2 questions correct on LG. Achieved a 168 on my first take (7/2018). Currently studying for my retake, my progress has be…

This conversation has deviated a bit from OP's initial question and the responses to what I (and others) viewed as 1 specific factually incorrect answer to that question. The thread has moved onto the idea of debt and what people are comfortable ta…

@blljhnsn35 respectfully, I don't think this claim stands up to scrutiny. A 3.87 is nothing to scoff at, this is a contributing factor to T-14 acceptances. MYLSN pulls in 15 non-URM applicants who got in with those numbers to T13s, 26 non-URM app…

I don’t think we should ever disregard context. The rule I follow is that everything they provide to us on an Lr problem is fair game for a question. At the very least, I tell my students to take note of the context's existence: it is not impossibl…

I drilled relentlessly, I also memorized the conditional operators while constantly putting my skills to the test up against questions. 49-2-7 is a great question, there are many others like it. 7Sage's CC is replete with drills to help with this g…

I read things all the time that I think could be explored on the LSAT. You're totally right, the exam stays with us! lol https://www.economist.com/democracy-in-america/2018/10/01/an-endangered-frog-takes-centre-stage-at-the-supreme-court "epheme…

@Tortsillustrated this might be a case where a study schedule very specifically tailored to where you fell short on the September exam might be the answer. In my response, I hope that you'll forgive old fashioned plain speaking. If you have a clea…

My recommendation would be to diagnose and fix any previous shortcomings. This effort breaks down into two broad categories in my estimation: core skills and test taking strategies. So for instance if causation reasoning was something that was prese…

Look very close for assumptions. Success on all four types of questions you mentioned is often predicted on the test taker identifying the assumptions within the argument. This begs the further question: how can we get better at finding the assump…
-
I think there is a bunch to unpack here. 1.You should try the 7sage predictor for your chances at a top 25. A whole bunch of personal assumptions are going to apply when you run the numbers: cost of living, how much debt you're willing to take on-…

Others are going to weigh in with a bit more detail, but from everything I have read the general consensus seems to be to air on the side of caution and disclose this. Now, with that being said, I don't at all want to conjecture, but from everythin…

@NotMyName with a great comment. If I can echo it: develop a system to minimize damage and collect points! David

Weakening questions: try to find the form of the argument. Is it a phenomena/hypothesis, correlation causation, an argument by analogy? Knowing the form of the argument goes a long way in assisting us in finding a way to effectively weaken the arg…

This is a remarkably difficult question. Just read it for the first time.

I really like the idea to be honest. It seems to me to be genuine and kind. I would say go for it. Of course, I am not an expert on the matter, but I like it. Best of luck moving forward. David

Edit: more detail A is alright as stated C. Is alright as stated, but I would much rather prefer to see: Pt----most--->GHL B. is also valid.
