@roychess said: I think you are missing the point I am making. I am saying that studying logic should include rules that allow the students to convert those English sentences to arrive at the correct solutions. What you seem to be expressing…

@roychess said: The problem now is what do you mean by conditionally valid. Conditionally valid usually refers to actual existing things. I am not giving my opinion here. Aristotelian logic does not assume anything technically. My …

Yeah, and it's not that the distinctions are unimportant: It's that they're unimportant specifically to the tasks that we're all here for. I think it's pretty universally understood that this is an LSAT prep course. And I think through the curriculu…

The LSAT uses Aristotelian Logic, not Boolean, and assumes that all terms referred to exist. This argument is invalid according to Boolean logic, and conditionally valid according to Aristotelian. Since we use Aristotelian and assume the terms exist…

@roychess The conclusion of the original post is an "I" not an "A" on the Square of Opposition. This argument is Figure 3 - AAI and is conditionally valid: Modus Darapti.

The main thing at this point is making sure you're taking PTs with purpose, and not just burning through them. If you're just out of the curriculum, about one PT a week will be pretty good. After you've BR'd, make sure you're going back to all of yo…

None of that is wrong @roychess , but like you say: @roychess said: Some of what works for the LSAT will not fly In a college class. We're really only concerned with the LSAT here. Not with a college class. And as far as the LSAT goes, thes…

So I've had a number of questions through PM asking specifically who my Spivey consultant was, so I just wanted to add further clarification because the point isn't that I got a shitty consultant, and I don't want to do anything to hurt their reputa…

Great additions @theLSATdreamer , lol. The time will pass, I promise!

Hey M, I'm not sure what the process is, but it's definitely not uncommon for top students to transfer up. Schools love taking transfers who've already proved themselves in 1L. 1L is a way better test of your ability to succeed in law school than LS…

We only have so much energy, work eats up so much of it, and LSAT just can't be worked on effectively once that energy is exhausted. It's a huge problem, but there are ways to manage it more/less effectively. While I was working, I always liked to c…

I worked with both @"david.busis" and a Spivey consultant. I trashed my Spivey essays and went with David's without a second thought. They were objectively better, and it wasn't even close. Former admissions officers like at Spivey are great at reco…

Bump for my June people.

Haha, okay I take it back. That was an excellent report @tylerdschreur10 .

I'm a white dude and I wrote a DS about being a white dude who is socially/politically progressive in the Deep South. I was nervous about it too. It feels like something that is meant for others who have not enjoyed our wide ranging privileges. It's…

Congrats guys!

This sounds like a great question for @"david.busis" 's webinar tonight: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/11368/webinar-admissions-overview-weds-june-14th-9pm-est

I had one where I took the LSAT twice before I was ready:/
-
Yeah, it's the kind of thing that we hear about a lot, but that almost never happens. No one starts a thread about how they showed up at their test center and everything went the way it was supposed to. And they shouldn't. That would be really borin…

Hey, just updated! 27 on the 19th, see you then!

There's a thread somewhere where JY crunched the numbers and I think it turned out that it kind of depends on what data you're looking at. There was one metric that actually seemed somewhat statistically meaningful, but even that is probably a blip.…
-
On the last test, there was a testing center where a late tester was denied entrance, and then stormed into the room and started shouting and throwing things. I believe they had to call the police in order to remove them. In that instance, testers h…

See y'all tonight!

Good luck guys! East Coast should be heading to the TCs right about now. Put your game faces on, play your pump up music, and go kill it! You are the MJ of LSAT, and you've been coached by @"J.Y. Ping" who is the Phil Jackson of LSAT. You got thi…

I'm not huge on Spivey actually. I worked with them and @"david.busis" both, and the essays I wrote with David were far superior. I didn't know what I was doing at first, so I just wrote a bad draft in order to get something started. It was horribl…

Do it! I had a guy at my test center that didn't even bring pencils! Good thing the proctors were old pros and and knew to have no faith in us, haha.

Here's a thread from a past 7Sager who developed an excellent system for approaching fool proofing. It has become somewhat of an unofficial orthodoxy, and I think it's a fantastic place to start: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/273…

Yeah, at this point, it's way too late to even think about a new strategy. Whatever has happened over the last few days is either a fluke, in which case it doesn't matter, or else a real problem in which case you don't have time to address it. So ei…

Lol, I saw this and was confused until I saw the date. @Sami you are usually the one answering these questions, haha. You only just recently started using a skipping strategy and it makes you nervous!? What!? Interesting to see some of these older …
-
Yeah, agreed with previous comments. Keep the essay simple and concise; you should be finishing with plenty of time left. You'll have about 5-10 seconds between sections. And other people can be distracting. Kind of depends on the room. My first tes…
