@manjotkbal said: Thanks everyone for the kind words! I will continue working on things that are problematic for me. How do you guys get over the initial confusion when you look at the question. I feel that when I do the questions in blind rev…

Hey there! Here are some things in my strategy that I use to improve in LR. 1) I am always on high active reading and engagement mode. I read slow and try my best to process everything to make sure I truly understand the stimulus AND the answer ch…

Hey @ankovic989 I'm so sorry dude I just saw your question and I feel so bad for not answering it until now! So basically when you are down to those curve breaker 5-star questions, the first step is to recognize that it is a very hard question. The…

Yes, you are allowed to use command F. But they automatically highlight in yellow what the question referred to. So if it referred to the 2nd sentence of the 2nd paragraph, when you click on that question that sentence would already be highlighted …

It sounds counterintuitive, but reading slower to make sure you process everything actually saves time on the LSAT. When you read fast, which on the LSAT, some are inclined to do so because of the time limit, your brain is less likely to process the…

To my knowledge, there's no penalty for signing up for the August test and backing out if you get a good score from the July Flex. Well, the penalty is the $200 you won't get back, but in the big picture of things, for piece of mind I would go ahead…

@LSAT2020_K said: I just want to double-check! So, today (July 3rd) is the last day to opt out without paying for August, and we still have an option to withdraw (no refund/no rescheduling) until the night before? Based on what the LSAT r…

@noonawoon thanks for the response! So I just called them and the deadline to opt out of the July LSAT-Flex is July 6! You'd have to call them to opt out. Hope this helps. All the best w the exam! So I just called them and they gave me a de…

Congratulations on the score! If you can afford to, I would highly recommend getting a tutor. A good tutor can pinpoint your weaknesses and give you solutions to work on them. Sometimes, it's so hard to see what you're supposed to be doing when you…

What sections do you tunnel vision on? I struggle with this a lot on LG. The way I combat this is to create a specific place in my proces where I will look at the whole picture to connect things. It will be usually 1) After I write each rule, I tr…

@"caffeine powered human" yes. If your A is defined as "a thing you need for A" then that works! Looking back at this more, on a timed test I think the best way to diagram this would be A ---> B, (defining A as A and B as B ) and to take 'the o…

I've brooded over this question many times and it's kept me up at night. This is the conclusion I came up with and I hope it helps. "The only thing you need for A is B" First, I don't think it's as simple as just A and B. The part of the sentence …

I cannot stress the positive impacts that a tutor can have on your score and to steer you in the right direction. Being taught by one myself, I was doing things that I wasn't supposed to be and it was challenging to fix bad habits that I was doing a…

Hey there! There are two things that can improve your score on LR: 1) Learning formal logic and reasoning 2) Specific Section Strategy It sounds like you need to work on number 2. Here are some things in my strategy that I used to improve in LR…

What @danielbrowning208 said about prephrasing is huge. For the easy flaw questions, sure, it works. But for the hard ones, it will bite you. The LSAT writers know that people prephrase and are very good at laying down a trap answer choices. If you …

Congrats on such a high BR score! Absolutely agree with @BeastMode_JediKnight. After you do a few more PTs, you should get a groove going. Another thing to work on is your timed strategy. There are a lot of live commentary videos on PTs that JY an…

Hey there! I think you're right about drilling. Unless there's a very apparent question type that you are always getting wrong, drilling might not be the answer. If you are particularly missing NA questions, what helped me was a two step process: …
-
Seeing a breakdown doesn't necessarily mean seeing a cookie cutter argument or generic question model. In fact, I would argue since you're scoring -4/-5 your understanding of formal logic and the logical reasoning section as a whole means that you d…
-
I agree with @mhf.andrew . I think you're spending too much time on the answer choices. For RC, you're exactly right. There is just too much text! And going back to the passage to confirm your reasoning is wasting your time. Try your hardest, and e…
-
Interesting question. Yes, that sentence gives an explanation, but isn't that explanation also a conditional statement that supports your conclusion? So yes, an explanation can offer support. But I don't think it has to in all cases. Whether or not…
-
I don't know your full situation, but you're saying that you're falling for trap answer choices. That leads me to think that you might be reading too fast and not giving your mind enough time to process the complex writing the LSAT uses. Remember t…

I am so happy I chose to spend my money on 7sage and not another course. You guys are awesome and a role model for how a business should operate!

Congrats! That's awesome to hear!

Hey there! This question is hard because the stimulus has very confusing language. Lets break down what it is actually saying. Sentence 1: Researchers are saying that we can taste sweetness by activating a sweetness receptor Sentence 2: Researche…
-
Hey there! Hope this helps. Reading Passage A, then going to the questions, then reading passage B and answering the rest of the questions has worked wonders for me. And it’s exactly because of what you pointed out. It is so easy to remember detail…

It just takes practice. The phrase “you have to walk before you run” is relevant to studying the LSAT. Before you take questions timed, you should take them untimed to fully grasp the concepts you’re learning first. Once you’ve mastered the concepts…

I would email student services and ask them.

Hey there! So essentially, the stimulus says we have a university that's participating in weapons research. Because of this, the grant org is threatening to take away their funding. The university responds by promising the grant money will not be s…
-
I used to be in the same boat where I'd make silly mistakes from misreading and jumping the gun too fast. "Oh the answer is totally B!" When B was wrong because of one or two words and the right answer was D. It sounds obvious, but the solution tha…

@"caffeine powered human" said: I would often misread a rule or the question stem. I used to have this problem and this is what I do. I literally tell myself before taking a logic games section, "I will double check all the rules before movi…
