I maintain the two central prongs of getting an answer right:
1. The correct answer must be 100% correct.
2. The other four answer choices must be 100% wrong.
If you still maintain your (incorrect) answer, review JY's explanation and see if you st…
@Archieboots: I'm glad you found a system that works for you. Your routine is about improving general quality of life more so than helping focus with LSAT studies. I appreciate you taking the time to give me your thoughts.
@thelocal711: Thanks for…
That's why I said it "sounds" like it.
By that description, it seems like a psychological hurdle more than anything else. How do you do on hard logic games sans the time crunch?
Also, it would be wise to compartmentalize the consequences of not d…
Sounds like a cop out, but it ultimately depends on your own capabilities and how well you know them. No one can say with any measure of certainty what you are or aren't capable of--the only exception being you of course.
Scrutinize your translations of the indented rules before ticking them off. And then review it once more once you combine the indented rules. And then one more time when you make any deductions off your combos. It's repetitious, but you'll get faste…
@wendelsr: I did what you did for the most part. I would switch between RC and games frequently to test if I knew the logic as well as I thought I did.
@kjwyang17: Conditioning yourself to read voluminous literary works that are challenging is only one step of the challenge. The LSAT requires very specific knowledge and training when it pertains to any aspect of the exam. Reading comp is no excepti…

@Nathalie Nguyen: I don't know how you do it. I work 40+ hours a week over at my law firm and it's strenuous. It's a real struggle to get any lsat stuff done throughout the weekdays. Props.
Extreme scrutiny is a necessity when it pertains to these questions. You have to essentially tenderize your mind when it comes to logically inferring what the correct answer MUST be. In essence, you 'develop' your intuition and gut feeling to the po…
Studying for an arbitrary 3 hours a day isn't going to be conducive to you unless you have a focused regiment of what you need to do that exact day. If you don't have any specific trouble spots, I'd recommend you aggressively and methodically go thr…
Also another point I'd like to emphasize--the other courses that I had taken didn't give any advantage. Rather, I started 7sage at a disadvantage since I was predisposed to alot of bad strategies/habits. Be mindful that 7sage isn't a cure-all. You p…
I bought the LSAT Trainer but I haven't really used it. Does anyone have anything useful to say about the Trainer? I did about a few chapters but nothing to really warrant a valid opinion.
Well if you're examining logical structure, it's really a bi-conditional statement. Meaning, it's really a 'chicken or the egg' paradigm. Income gain could be attributed to good looks, or you could also say that people that have higher incomes tend …
@jeje9999: I think a few people have tried that combo. Truth be told , you won't honestly know unless you personally try it for yourself. It's such a subjective thing when it comes to what works. Just so happens that most people that have given 7sag…
Just make sure to pay attention to the answer choice and not the letter that is associated with it. The only time I would worry about something like that is if all four game sections were the same letter.
I think a better parameter to follow is seeing the relationship between premise(s) and conclusion(s). The harder main point questions are cleverly veiled so as to make it hard to distinguish which element is the premise/conclusion.
@bfischetti9 : I believe it is prudent to read the whole question stem. You could have the phrase "most strongly supported" in the question stem--but that doesn't necessarily imply it will be a MSS question. For example, you could have "If the above…
