@"Jonathan Wang" As someone whose BR score is close to 99th percentile but whose actual score is in the 63rd percentile, I find these real-time test-taking videos very illuminating. I have a fairly good understanding of the test, I just can't perfo…
Paradox is just resolve/reconcile/explain.
I’ve seen Principle ID in two forms: 1. where you have to figure out the principle from the stimulus and match it to the answer (much like an inference question) and 2. Where you have to figure out the pr…
Look down towards the middle of your syllabus and you’ll see old problems. Also here: http://classic.7sage.com/lesson/oldpdf-problem-sets/
They’re having to do a major overhaul, thanks to LSAC.
NAs are super hard BECAUSE you can’t really predict them. It’s forced me to spend a lot of time in my review drilling negating NA answer choices in my head. It just has to be automatic. You really have to develop a flexibility that I’ve only been ab…
I think the difficulty of this problem is the sheer size and number of sub-conclusions (and therefore gaps for necessary assumptions to rear their ugly little heads). There’s no context. It’s wall-to-wall argument. (D) is the NA between the premise…
@"Jonathan Wang" I think there are a lot of people on this forum who'd love to hear what other fundamental RC skills are on that list. More importantly, I’m sure they’d love to learn some exercises to fix them.
I agree with everything you say, but …
To piggy back onto @Matt1234567, I especially like to think of the flaw as what the argument is failing to consider. It’s usually really hard to anticipate what a weakening correct answer will look like because they tend to add a little new informat…
I don’t think it’s a bad idea to repeat questions. I actually think it’s fine to fool proof the LR questions you got wrong because there can be genetic cousins (rather than brothers or sisters of LG) of those questions in later tests. I actually cut…
In 3 months, I went from a 141 to 155. I averaged 15-20 hours of study per week and hadn’t even gotten to doing a lot of PTs. It’s not what you’re looking for, but maybe you’re starting from a different place than I am. But, all in all, I’m very hap…
I’ve lost where the schedule of these are. I’m looking to Group BR next week, but I’ll have to take the test tomorrow. I want to know which test I should take. I’m guessing 49.
I’m not sure where you’re getting that from. 7Sage, as far as I remember (please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong), doesn’t advocate such knowledge. I’m fairly certain that a “some” statement can strengthen and weaken an argument, especially on …
Yeah, I’m planning on ordering my PTs in 5s. For example, 36, 41, 46, 51, 56, 61, 66, 71, 37, 42, 47, 52.... That way I can get an early taste of all of the different “types” of tests and, hopefully, not get freaked out by the 70s the way I saw a lo…
All great advice. Repetition is the key, almost meditative. With that in mind, it's good to have a mantra. And JY gave us the best mantra: "write small, fast and neat". Seriously, once you've got your "or" and "not both" rules memorized and you've t…
