I actually wondered about this myself last week and Jonathan was kind enough to leave some really good advice: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/19786/biconditionals-chaining-vs-splitting It doesn't matter which side you negate for …

Bump -- still looking for help on this!
-
Thanks everyone! While on the topic, does anyone have any favorite resources for RC? I've been having trouble with the newer RC still, and though I really enjoyed Adrian Li's book, I'm looking for other sources as well. Of course, RC is so much hard…
-
I've read somewhere that the book is amazing but more helpful for those new to LR as opposed to those who are already really familiar with LR. Is this true? Considering checking it out!
-
Hi --- I've never studied full time for that long before, so I can't be sure, but I think depending on how fast you learn it would definitely be possible to make it to around 165 in 3 months of full time studying. The starter package is sufficient o…

Congrats! I also recently saw some breakthroughs on fresh LR and it is really one of the best feelings!
-
Wow I have been touched by greatness -- thanks @"Jonathan Wang" ! As a side note, for anyone drilling in/out games -- for PT 58 game 4, though it's not a biconditional, when you link up the web of conditional chains, you end up with M as an odd pie…
-
Following this thread --- I've also been having problems with questions on the new RCs which I think are harder to get through.
-
https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-49-section-1-game-3/ The problem set here for in/out games has been really helpful, and I think @MIT_2017 you're right in that it comes down to personal preference, but I guess it just comes down to …
-
For anyone following this thread -- Game 4 of PT 39 is an example of where you would chain the biconditionals, but it really helps to chain it here rather than split O and P into different boards.
-
Yep that looks good to me! And I think you've written it in a good way because it's more difficult to rearrange the parts of the statement with referential phrasing (these traits). It may also be good to practice rearranging the sentences in your m…
-
The above comment is really helpful, and I just wanted to write it out also because this gave me a headache as well! Disclaimer -- I have no background in finance/econ, so while my understanding of what is actually happening here might be wrong, I …
-
@Alex Thanks for the response! I know you've walked the long journey -- did you feel like there was anything important you learned from the earlier LR questions though? For me most of them are obviously pretty solid, but for the odd ones that I miss…
-
Thank you 7sage and @studentservice!
-
I've seen this question a couple times, but I still have difficulty with answer choice E haha will try to talk my way through it here. Before that, though, A is right because this stimulus is giving us a pretty cookie-cutter flaw, which sometimes m…
-
Just to follow up on why C is wrong -- JY's video does a really good explanation of showing two ways of drawing the analogy between the friends/restaurants and diseases/dinosaurs (I only show one). He also emphasizes just the weirdness of the conclu…
-
This was a pretty tough question, especially if you don't grasp the flaw really well before going into the answer choices (I had to read the stimulus and go back into the answer choices after looking at it first). This is a part/whole or individual…
-
I think we're in similar positions -- I was signed up for March as well, but have rescheduled to June (and also reg for July). I was scoring around the same range as you, and decided that I wasn't ready yet. The decision was based more on my goals (…
-
You said it's probably not burnout, but I think it might be. I've also been struggling with LR for a while, and I think it can be one of the most frustrating because LG is pretty improvable/the logic is clearer so you can see when you get things wro…
-
While I'm not 100% sure, I would think that prevention doesn't include the reducing the severity of an injury (sorry I can't comment on the question from PT 73 because I haven't taken it yet). This is because if you prevent the injury, then there sh…
-
Just to add on, I don't think fixating on "contributing" will lead to a fuller understanding of why E is wrong. E is wrong because it isn't strong enough to be a sufficient assumption and make the argument 100% valid -- it feels almost like a necess…
-
@Lawster9 --- I think you're right on point. I was thinking about making a post about this, but I think this might be a better place to write it out. I felt much like many other March test takers, and I kind of kicked it into high gear the past tw…
-
I think the underlying logical confusion you're making for A is kind of the A -> B therefore B -> A invalid argument form. I used to get frustrated when JY would repeat that this is the "oldest trick in the book" because I kept falling for it,…

@Alex said: @theLSATdreamer said: MY MAN !! CONGRATS!! RACHEL ZANE WOULD BE VERY PROUD OF YOU RIGHT NOW ! Haha I actually used to watch a lot of Suits. I remember there was this scene when Mike was helping Rachel with the L…
-
Just to chime in because I was also between B and E, I kind of took a step back and observed the problems with both choices. Both @FixedDice and @sidytraore point out a lot of issues with B (way more than I had noticed), but one issue with E for me …
-
As a long time lurker, congrats! Always incredible to hear these success stories :')
-
I was going through a weird pre-phrase kind testing phase a couple weeks ago, and practicing pre-phrasing by covering the answers and just looking at the stimulus is a really good way to expand your knowledge because you're taking away the crutches …
-
Hey -- I'm also looking to take the March exam and, while I can't be sure because I've only taken one PT since I've started focusing more on RC, one thing that's really helped me (and I know for RC the problem areas are harder to diagnose / are diff…
-
I think the principle behind fool-proofing LG actually works really well for LR and probably RC too, to a lesser extent (just because I think comprehension of a passage is sometimes hard to forget as easily as LR questions or games). I have a bit o…
-
Through a quick read, I think the biologist's statement is consistent with all of the answer choices. If you map it like a logic game, the choices either fail the sufficient or satisfy the necessary: Deforestation continues -> koala approaches e…
