Yea I looked at the question too and yes, your first post got the conditionals reversed. Nonetheless, the flaw still stands at it is. The condition given and the premise do not match. E just.. doesn't even parallel.

Hey Auran, I did this PT in the past and this passage, although is daunting at first, is only difficult because of its heavy usage of technical terms. It seems to me that when you are given a "function" question, it is helpful to consider the BIG PI…

modern lsats don't have them anymore so don't worry too much about them.

Hey Kwoods, Unless you are dealing with SA questions or MBT questions with hard logic, watch out for answer choices that contain EXTREME words such as ALL and NEVER. This is especially true for MSS questions. Also, watch out for prescriptive answer …

Notice that the stimulus contains a conditional statement. "IF it is before 3pm, bank deposited credited on the same date." The flaw in this stimulus is that Alicia "knowing" is NOT the same thing as "it is." The sufficient condition that triggers t…

From my memory, I think the correct answer is A. As for your question regarding contrapositive, watch out for quantifiers such as some and most. Remember what the lessons taught you: there are NO contrapositives for quantified statements.

Great! I noticed this trend in the newer lsats.

I understand your frustration.. I also got this one wrong during PT. But you know, making mistakes is the best way to learn. I think this question is a really good example of learning to see the types of answer choices that LSAT writers LIKE. In a n…

Hey K, When I was starting out, I just solved every single question again without the time constraint. I would do this WITHOUT knowing the answers. It took me about 5 hrs to do this + reviewing the wrong answers. I think taking 2 days to do this is…

@JS oops yes you are correct. I misread your translation!
-
I believe you got it the other way around. Here, the necessary condition for "expressing an emotion" is to be "capable of experiencing." CANNOT X, not Y = X -> Y.
-
I am not sure exactly what you are confused about, but here is my own recap of the lessons that you've learned so far. LR stimulus can be roughly divided into two main types: hard logic, soft logic. Hard logic stimulus can be identified by condit…

Hi, Here are my recommendations. 1. Get through the entire course and absorb all the fundamentals first. 2. Do as many PTs as possible. 3. However, you must devote quality time into reviewing each and every one of your PTs. Good luck!

I am also struggling with RC and it is preventing me from residing in the 170s.. But yea I do agree with Kevin that reading the questions before doesn't really help that much.. What I do before reading the passage is just quickly check how many que…
-
Ah, this one was really tough for me too. The reason why B is wrong is how it is worded. The key phrase that strikes it out is "overall structure." Is the author really talking about the overall structure of nature vs. overall structure of reasoning…
-
I believe you are talking about "splitting the boards." There is no definite rule you can follow, but generally speaking if there is a very restrictive rule (usually not stated explicitly, most are derived from inference) that severely restricts the…

Hey Jake, Writing down the rules correctly and quickly is really basic, but nonetheless a necessary skill for logic game sections. I don't think there are any magic trick for this, you just gotta practice and practice until you become a machine.
-
As you approach the more difficult questions in LR sections, watch out for "fillers" that the LSAT writers employ to distract your attention away from the core. This question is a good example. Paul got it down. The core of the argument is not abou…
-
Ah, I saw this question before too. The biggest assumption, thus a weakness, that the argument commits is that TV watchers and Readers are entirely exclusive entities (Notice the unwarranted dichotomy that the arguments tries to establish). When you…

Hey Kyuya, don't be discouraged! Like Mark said, the games after 2000 do follow a set of patterns so make sure to repeat a lot of them!
-
Nevill is dead on about the difference between 7sage and others. What I would like to add onto his explanation is that from my experience, I felt that 7sage focuses on your FUNDAMENTAL understanding of LSAT. And this is crucial because this is what…

Hey Viviana, there are many posts on this issue, so check them out!

Hey Kevin, how many PTs have you done so far? If you have done only a few and scoring like that, I am very impressed! Btw, are you facing any difficulties with time? If you are generally missing the harder ones, the only solution is to spend more t…
-
I agree with Bret. You need to do a full timed PT to find out roughly where you are at the moment.
-
Your input/output ratio will be low if you are just starting off. Don't be discouraged though. Remember, LSAT is skill-based test! It's like playing a guitar or lifting. I started off with low 150 and took about 2 months and 20+ PTs to break the 16…
-
Ah, flaw questions are tough because there is no set rule for approaching them. Unless you know exactly what the flaw is, it can be very difficult. When I do flaw questions, I tighten up on language and look for any slight shift in scope. For examp…
-
@kyuya Work through the lessons first and try to get an overall understanding of how each question type functions. Then PT PT PT. If you have any questions from PT30~49, I will be glad to help.
-
I think your question is very much analogous to "will taking this XYZ ultra-mega protein powder get me jacked in 60 days?" Well, possibly. But we must assume that you were working out intensely and consistently. What I can tell you is that 7sage co…

James, my pleasure. Don't worry too much about bi-conditionals for LR. They are very rare and even if they do pop up as one of the MBT questions, they are pretty easy to spot. But for games, you must be able to chain them up with other conditions, …
